Jerry Garcia's favourite guitar, Wolf, could be yours at auction later this month.

The instrument was one of five which Deadheads - the name of true fans of the seminal US rockers - have identifed as key to ther band's sound.

The others are Alligator, Rosebud, Lightning Bolt and Tiger.

If it helps, think of them as the Baby, Sporty, Scary, Posh and Ginger of rawk memorabilia.

You'll need to splash some cash though as Tiger and Wolf were auctioned together in 2002 and made more than $1.5m (£1.2m). 

Now Wolf is back at the same auction house to benefit the advocacy group the Southern Poverty Law Center.

TMZ certainly thinks so.

Yesterday we told you how the US rapper had mysteriously disappeared from social media completely (again).

Now the US website is reporting the reason is that he's holed up in a studio in the Wyoming mountains, recording a follow-up to last year's Life of Pablo.

Maybe that's why he's off social media. No broadband. Simple as that.

We can't be sure but this Instagram post below from band member Matt Helders, of his mic'd up drum kit, seems to suggest something is going on.

The Sheffield drummer did play on Iggy Pop's recent album and tour but that's over now...

...and we can't quite see his trademark 0114 Sheffield postcode drum logo from this angle.

This latest post comes a few weeks after photographer Daniele Cavalli posted the below pic of Matt's Arctic Monkeys bandmate Alex Turner at the piano.

What could this all mean?

Their last album AM came out in 2013.

Admittedly we could have this wrong and they could be producing a picture guide to their favourite music studios. 

Stay tuned.

This news will come as a real blow to Afrobeat musician Femi Kuti, the eldest son of pioneer Fela Kuti, who was left with a sour taste in his mouth this weekend after thinking he had broken a world record for the longest single note played on a wind instrument.

The Nigerian star held a single note on his saxophone for 46 minutes and 38 seconds at a gig in Lagos - a feat achieved by circular breathing, a technique whereby you breathe in continuously through your nose while sustaining the tone of a note.

He thought the note was enough to beat a 45-minute record set by Kenny G - much loved by MOR mums the world over - in 1997.

However, the record is actually held by Vann Burchfield, who, in 2000, held a note for 47 minutes and 5.5 seconds.

Femil has taken the news extremely well however.

'No wahala', means roughy 'no problem'.
