Some sage words of advice above for the littlest Windsor.

See you all tomorrow.

BBC Radio 5 live

Ben from UK country stars The Shires has been out and about their new album and tour, alongside bandmate Crissie Rhodes.

However any minute now, like Prince Harry, he might find himself required to drop the microphone/guitar and go put on some scrubs.

Watch above.

In his 2003 song Goldfish Bowl, Van Morrison sings: "Newspaper barons are the scum of the lowest degree / And they prey on everybody".

So it's no surprise that he holds the press in low esteem.

"The media makes things up," the star told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

"I've been talking about fake news from day one," he continued.

The Northern Irish singer, who is responsible for some of the most extraordinary music of the last century, said he had grown wary of the press in his early days, as part of R&B group Them.

"We had to do a lot of interviews when we started. You do that when you're a kid, but later on you realise it's pointless," he said.

"It's funny, the whole star-celebrity media... It's like the song, 'You build me up to knock me down' [by] Hank Williams.

"That's what the game is, sir."

Superstar actor/director and music nut Simon Pegg dug out some of his favourite vinyl to help mark the occasion this year.

Sadly Niall's special new pressing wasn't one of them.

His top picks instead were by Radiohead, Super Furry Animals and The Kinks.

Listen below as he plays a quick game of Keep, Fling or Gift.

Speaking of the Super Furies...

Lauren Laverne of 6 Music found herself - incredibly - at the oldest record store (shop if you're British) in the whole wide world.

In case you didn't already know that would be Spillers in Cardiff, where the likes of Welsh musicians Gruff Rhys and Gwenno were waiting to receive her for a special Record Store Day Desert Island Disco.

Listen again below.

And if you're more digitally-minded with your music these days and have got this far without knowing how vinyl works, then here's superstar DJ Diplo to show you how to open a record at least.

Well, he's not gonna reveal how to spin them now is he - in case you nick his job.

You don't have to wait long now for Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino to officialy open for busniness (11 May) but when it does, don't expect to find the amps turned up to 11 inside.

Their sixth album was apparently nearly not a Monkeys record at all and almost an Alex Turner solo record, due to it's lo-fi nature.

In their first full interview ahead of its release, the Monkeys frontman told music mag Mojo, external that a lot of it - for the first time - was written on a new Steinway piano.

• The evolution of the Arctic Monkeys

A method that helped the 32-year-old out of a bit of a songwriting rut.

“I was lost and didn’t really have any ideas about what I was going to do.”

Glad to hear the Steinway has undone the writer's block.

The new edition of Mojo is out this week.

The UK garage singer kicked off his magic weekend by performing his new single, external for the gathered crowds at Sounds Like Friday (scroll down for more from #SLFN).

The following day, the Southampton singer headed to The Royal Albert Hall to sing again - alongside the likes of Tom Jones, Kylie Minogue, Shaggy and Sting (Shagg-ing) - for the Queen's 92nd birthday bash.

Last week, friend of the Royals Gyles Brandreth joked that Craig's UK Garage-fused flavours might not be exactly to Her Majesty's tastes.

Well Craig seemed to enjoy his evening anyway, knocking out a medley of hits and even got to meet the soon-to-weds Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Watch the full show back and decide for yourself if Craig was Walking Away with thumbs up from the birthday girl.

In case you're a bit befuddled by this one following her stellar headline slot last weekend, then we should point out that Coachella Festival actually takes place over two consecutive weekends.

It's pretty much the same lineup for both, but as we saw earlier with Ariana, sometimes weekend two comes with a fresh twist.

That was certainly the case with Beyonce - who like last week brought out her old band Destiny's Child, her hubby Jay-Z and her sister Solange - as she invited Colombian superstar J Balvin out to join her for a rendition of his Latino international smash hit Mi Gente.

That's 'My People' to all you non Spanish speakers out there (ourselves included).

Solange - who will headline this year's Latitude Festival - certainly played her part in another memorable night for the Knowles family.

Looks like she forgot to jump when her big sis attempted to lift her up mid song and the result was pretty calamitous.

However, as Jason points out on twitter (above) this was a masterclass in how to brush off a big slip.

Fans of the band are getting excited at the prospect of new music after their manager replied to a tweet about the band's 2016 album.

"The iliwys era is still here," wrote the fan, to which Jamie Oborne replied "Yes for a few more days".

I-L-I-W-Y-S are the first letters of their 2016 album I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful yet So Unaware of It.

Singer Matty Healy has described the band's forthcoming album as "music for cars" but there has been no official announcement by the band.

The Manchester pop rockers officially arrived in the big time last summer when they headlined their first ever major UK festival at Latitude.

Here is a taster of what to expect if you're heading to see The Rolling Stones in Southampton this summer, where they are being support by The Vaccines (scroll down).

They were joined on Friday night's show by Jorja Smith, Craig David, Charlie Puth and Canadian teenager Shawn Mendes (below).

Nile Rodgers (more from him below too) was also talking to Dotty talking about his guitar, dubbed 'The Hitmaker', which has apparently played on $3bn worth of music.

See if Nile beat Little Mix and/or Gary Barlow when he played a full gig in just a minute with the band in sound check.

They certainly have enough funky hits to select from.

Watch the episode in full.

The Scots DJ's ninth UK number one; the Balearic beats of One Kiss, climbed from three to one in Friday evening's charts, having amassed a combined total of over 70,000 units (7.1 million streams and 22,000 downloads)

The song is Dua's second chart-topper too, following 2017 smash hit New Rules, so she still has a way to go to reach Calvin, who now joins the likes of ABBA, Spice Girls and Rihanna on the 11-strong list of acts in chart history to rack up nine or more number one singles.

Here's how they did it (below).

Where did they plug the telly in though? Must be solar-panels?...

You'l almost definitely hear this one on dancefloors across Ibiza this summer.

Looks like DL celebrated her new number one in style.

With a night out then a chippy tea. Though, she apparently confused, external lots of her American fans with her spoonerism

Reeping it keal.

We're not sure what he means by "hand producing" the albums, unless he is planning on whittling them all down individually using a small pocket knife.

It also seems Kanye is not one for hanging about.

He hasn't given himself a huge amount of time to work on each of the albums he has previously tweeted about, from the likes of Pusher T, King Cudi and Teyana Taylor, as they're all coming out one per week from 25 May.

Why the rush?

Still, a new one from Nas, which has got to be interesting.

Nile Rodgers is making full use of his little black book and has apparently secured some massive names for his band Chic's forthcoming album, It's About Time,

Speaking to Pitchfork Radio, external at the second weekend of the Coachella festival in California, he said the group had been in the studio with Bruno and, Anderson as well as Craig David, Stefflon Don, Nao, Mura Masa, and Blondie’s Debbie Harry.

Nile also said they had also plans to record with Haim in “a couple weeks or so.”

He added: "On the red carpet the other day, we challenged each other to a battle of the bands. And I love Haim.

"They said, ‘We will kick any band’s ass!’ I said, ‘I will happily take the challenge.’"

Sometimes pop singers really should just steer clear of politics.

Shania Twain has apologised after saying she would have voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 US election.

The Canadian singer, who cannot even vote in the US, told the Guardian, external she appreciated the President's honesty.

"I would have voted for him because, even though he was offensive, he seemed honest," she said. "Do you want straight or polite?"

The star has now issued a statement saying the comments were not "representative of my values".

Well played Marshall.

The 45-year-old rapper, who previously battled addictions to prescription drugs, celebrated ten years in recovery by posting the above picture of a sobriety chip on social media, before going on to close the final weekend of Coachella Festival.

Em has chronicled his battle with substance abuse in song form on albums including Relapse,Recovery and latest effort Revival.

His former Detroit rap partner, Royce da 5'9 - from their late 90s hip hop act Bad Meets Evil - was one of the first to congratulate his old pal and "mentor."

On Friday we brought you Ariana's brand new single, No Tears Left To Cry.

It was the 24-year-old's first new music since the tragic Manchester attack which saw 22 people lose their lives after her gig at the city's arena last May.

Now, at the second weekend of Coachella Festival in California, the singer made a surprise appearance alongside DJ Kygo on Saturday night, performing her new song as well as providing vocals on the Norweigain's remix of Marvin Gaye’s Sexual Healing.

Check out some fan(club) shot footage below.

Later on, we'll bring you another epic Beyonce performance from the California desert, during which she managed to drop her own sister in it.

Quite literally.

For now enjoy these pics of Ariana and boyfriend and rapper Mac Miller backstage at Coachella, just twelve months (and several new looks) apart.

A police source in Oman has said there is no suspicion of criminal activity after Swedish DJ superstar Avicii was found dead in Muscat at the weekend.

According to an AFP report, two post mortems have been carried out on the 28-year-old and there is "no criminal suspicion".

Avicii - whose real name of Tim Bergling - retired form touring in 2016 due to health issues including pancreatitis, triggered in part by excessive drinking.

He was one of the world's most successful DJs, earning more than £20m a year.

His premature death has left fans and fellow musicians in deep shock.

Fans gathered in his native Stockholm to pay tribute to him.

Fellow DJs such as David Guetta, Calvin Harris and Skrillex also took to social media to pay respects.

Let's Spend the Night Together...

As if seeing The Rolling Stones isn't a big enough spectacle, the band have now announced a host of superstar guests who will open up for them on the UK leg of their No Filter tour this summer.

Glastonbury headliner from 2015, Florence and the Machine will support "one of our biggest influences" at one of their London Stadium gigs next month, while rock 'n' roll star Liam Gallagher will - for once - happily play second fiddle to "the best rock n roll band EVER" at another gig in the capital a few days earlier.

Last year, in an interview with GQ magazine the former Oasis frontman said of his Stones counterpart's dance moves; "Fair play to ol’ dinosaur hips, but I’m not that man. I’m anti-entertainment. Poor sod, he’s got to dance until he’s 108."

Liam's good pal Richard Ashcroft (of Verve fame) will get things started in Manchester and Edinburgh and further support on the tour will come from the likes of Elbow, The Specials and The Vaccines.
