Noel today officially closed the door forever on his old band (scroll down) due to the behaviour of his brother and others on social media.

Because we need each other / We believe in one another

Sob, sob...

Led Zep's classic Immigrant song (which you can hear above) is featured in the newly-released movie, Thor: Ragnarok.

Now the song has just achieved its best ever digital sales week.

That's according to Billboard, external, which has the 1970 song at the top of the Hard Rock Digital Song chart.

Earlier this week, Jack Black voiced his frustration that the song had made it into the new movie, having begged Robert Plant and Jimmy Page for permission to use it in his own 2004 film School of Rock.

He issued actor Chris Hemsworth with a 'Battle of the Jams' challenge,

Would this be Thor 1 - JB 0?

Thor may have won the battle, but will he win the war?

The US singer's All I Want For Christmas tour plans have been shelved for now on doctor's orders, after she contracted a respiratory infection.

The 47-year-old, who usually hits some pretty high notes, broke the news to her "lambs" [that's fans] on Twitter:

"Lambs! Just in time for the holiday gift-giving season, it seems I’ve received a present of my own; a lovely upper respiratory infection after last week’s flu. Bleak!

"You know there is nothing I love more than celebrating the holidays with my festive Christmas show, but I have to take my doctor’s orders and rest until he says I can sing on stage,"

Mariah's website now says the crimbo tour will start on 27 November in New York.

She's due to perform in Manchester on 10 December and London the night after, so let's all say a prayer and hope for a pre-Christmas miracle.

All we want for Christmas is you Mariah - fit and well.

alt-J have shared a short seven-minute film to accompany the closing song Pleader from their Mercury Prize-nominated album Relaxer.

The track is based on the book How Green Was My Valley?, about a small mining community in nineteenth-century Wales and features a choir from Ely Cathedral in Cambridgeshire.

All said, its a pretty lighthearted romp.*

*not really.

BBC Radio 1

The Live Lounge has brought some of the planet's biggest music names to the BBC.

Jay-Z, Pink and Foo Fighters are just three of the superstars to have graced its studio in 2017.

So, it's only fitting that last night the Kurupt FM boys had a crack, after DJ Charlie Sloth invited them up to the 8th floor.

Their time spent starring on their fictional pirate radio station in BBC Three's People Just Do Nothing, clearly prepared them for this moment.

Watch them perform new single Suttin Like That plus a very smooth cover indeed on Radio 1's YouTube channel., external

In gigging terms that is.

The 50,000 venue will host the former Oasis man on Saturday 18 August.

BBC 6 Music

Don't you think?

Eccentric American musician Thundercat popped into the 6 Music studio in Salford yesterday to chat to Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie.

The bass guitarist was a key contributor to Kendrick Lamar's acclaimed album To Pimp a Butterfly and he comes from great musical stock, with his dad Ronald Bruner having drummed for the likes of The Temptations, Diana Ross and Gladys Knight.

Even his brother Ronald Junior is a Grammy award-winning drummer, so imagine how loud Christmas is in that house?

His 23-track latest album Drunk, released earlier this year, featured contributions from Kendrick, Kamasi Washington, Pharrell, Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald and Wiz Khalifa.

The 33-year-old from LA told Rad-Mac that his family is so well connected that the collaborations just "happen naturally."

Noel Gallagher has told Front Row's Stig Abell that he'll never play with his old band Oasis again.

The singer, who has a new album out on 24 November, says his estranged brother's behaviour and the treatment of his family on social media has heightened his resolve to not reform the band.

"People are coming after my family - and one particular person has legitimised it" he said.

"And for that reason you've seen the last of Oasis"

We'll bring you our own chat with the High Flying Birds chief in tomorrow's Music News LIVE.

The moment was captured in full on video by someone in the audience and has since gone viral.

Linkin Park are to release a collection of 16 live tracks from the band's 2017 summer shows, recorded prior to the death of singer Chester Bennington in July.

"We dedicate this live album to our brother Chester who poured his heart and soul into One More Light," the band said in a statement on the Linkin Park site, external.

"After we finished recording the album, we joked with Chester that - since he had delivered so many stunning performances in the studio - he had set the bar extra high to produce that alchemy on stage each night."

One More Light Live will be out on 5 December.

"His dedication to bringing these songs to life was triumphant," the band added.

"For those of you who attended this tour in person, we thank you. For those who could not, we hope this live album gives you a glimpse into how magical these shows were for the six of us."

You'd think the record label would sort her out with a few free copies wouldn't you?

Apparently it's a tradition that every time Tay Tay drops a new album, like latest one Reputation, she pops along to a particular store in Nashville to get a hard copy for herself.

This time was no different and it made some fans days/lives and even gave her chance to catch up with some old friends.

Watch above.

Tame Impala are set to release a new track entitled List of People (To Try and Forget About) later today.

We say 'new', it's actually a track that didn't make it on to last disco-fuelled album Currents from 2015, on the basis that musical maestro Kevin Parker was "so over it" by the time it came to putting the record out.

Apparently, he's now back into it, or so he told Beats 1 DJ Zane Lowe.

It's the first cut taken from the new Currents B Sides and remixes collection which is out tomorrow.

We'll bring that to you later hopefully, before Aussie Kev pops off to bed but for now check out his video chat with Zane below.

Listen up all you shoegazers.

Stormzy may be from South London that hasn't stopped him from being a big Manchester United fan.

The grime star hung out and performed for the team last night at the club's charity gala in association with children's charity UNICEF.

Here he is below performing new single Blinded by Your Grace Pt 2 below.

It's seemingly the song that everybody wants a crack at...Bono sang an impromptu line off it at Sunday's MTV EMA awards, where incidentally United midfielder Paul Pogba (above) also presented an award to Shawn Mendes.

Comedian-turned-crooner Bradley Walsh also sang it (and got the words wrong) while sat alongside Stormzy on the Jonathan Ross show.

Now correct us if we are wrong but is that MUFC defencer Victor Lindelof on guitar, backing the big man?

When Pogba moved to United he introduced his arrival by featuring in a Stormzy mash-up video, external, so he's clearly a fan.

So too are team-mates and England internationals Marcus Rashford and Jessie Lingard by the looks of it.

Check out their rapping skills below.

Maybe concentrate on sticking the ball in the back of the net lads.

Whatever you do, be careful not to confuse Stormzy with Red Devils striker Romelu Lukaku - as one newspaper did earlier in the year.

Even if the London singer agrees there is a resemblance...

Hello again everybody.

Let's roll the Music News LIVE dice again, shall we?

Today we'll bring you Stormzy hanging out with the Manchester United team for UNICEF (we hope he found his way to the correct toilet this time), Drake shouting at a fan for groping girls and news of a new My Bloody Valentine album and tour.

Plus tributes are paid to rapper Lil Peep following reports he has died aged 21.

And Kevin Parker talks about a new Tame Impala track that's due out later today.

Later on, we'll dip into the MNL vault for a suitable Throwback Thursday bit of nostalgia for you to enjoy.

Because if you don't know where you came from, how can you know where you're going?
