    Fans of Tyler, the Creator (which instantly rules out Prime Minister Theresa May) can now sneak a peak at his forthcoming behind-the-scenes documentary Cherry Bomb.

    The rapper remains banned from the UK after the then-home secretary refused him entry for three-five years last August, due to the lyrical content of his first two albums.

    A new trailer for the film, produced by Illegal Civilization Cinema has been released on YouTube and follows the Odd Future star around during the making of his fourth studio album.

    There's a lot of 'cussing' involved in the trailer, so we're going to let you lot go and find it for yourselves on YouTube.

    If you do so, keep your eyes peeled for cameos from the likes of Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Pharrell Williams.

    Cherry Bomb: The Documentary is out on DVD in January 2017.

    Chris Martin treated Coldplay fans to an acoustic rendition of Leonard Cohen's Suzanne during their London Palladium show on Friday night.

    The cover was in honour of the Canadian crooner who died earlier that day aged 82 and you can watch some fan-shot footage here, external.

    He can't have had very long to practice this little ditty can he? But how do Chris's efforts above stack up to some of these other classic Cohen covers?

    Imitation, in this case, truly is the most sincere form of flattery.

  11. Pink expecting her second child on social mediapublished at 12:41 GMT 14 November 2016

    Okay, that's confusing.

    What we mean is that US singer Pink has revealed on social media, where else?, that she is expecting her second baby with husband Carey Hart.

    In an Instagram post on Saturday, captioned with the word "Surprise!" the photo shows the couple's 5-year-old daughter, Willow Hart and Pink's growing baby bump.

    We have no confirmation, or indeed suggestion, that the birth will be shared on social media.

  12. New videos: a weekend catch-uppublished at 12:21 GMT 14 November 2016

    There are lots of new music videos out to catch up on from the weekend. 

    First up is the brand new one from The Last Shadow Puppets for Les Cactus which is taken from their forthcoming Dream Synopsis EP which comes out next month.

    It features Alex Turner, singing in French in a white shirt so unbuttoned that it makes Simon Cowell seem demure.

    With his exaggerated dad dancing, we cant help but wonder if Alex is being serious or having a laugh at our expense...

    They've been going for more than 30 years and though the luxuriant soft permed mullets have been replaced by dignified grey, Bon Jovi have proved there is life in the old dogs yet after claiming their sixth US number one album.

    This House Is Not for Sale has made its debut at the top of the Billboard 200, external chart.

    In the UK, the album charted at number five earning them their 16th Top 10.

    Robbie Williams became the UK's most successful solo artist when The Heavy Entertainment Show topped the chart on Friday, giving him 12 chart-topping albums.

    That sees him leapfrog David Bowie and tying with Madonna, who also has a dozen chart toppers to her name. 

    And he still has plenty of time to outrank Elvis Presley who claimed his 13th number one album (albeit posthumously) two weeks ago.

  14. Did the Eagle of Death Metal land at the Bataclan - or not?published at 11:37 GMT 14 November 2016

    Now back to the Bataclan in Paris where there have been conflicting reports as to whether or not Eagles of Death Metal frontman Jesse Hughes was turned away from the venue for Sting's re-opening gig.

    Hughes' band were performing at the venue when four gunmen opened fire and killed 90 people last November but the venue's management said the singer was unwelcome, after his repeated suggestions that Bataclan staff might have been involved in planning the attacks.

    Hughes later apologised for the remarks but Bataclan manager Jules Frutos told the Press Association:

    Quote Message

    They are not welcome after what he said about the security. I mean, this man is just sick. That's all."

    Mourners gather outside the Bataclan on the anniversary of the shootingsImage source, AP

    However in a statement to Billboard magazine, external, the band's manager said the singer did not even attempt to attend the gig.

    Marc Pollack said: "This day is not about Jesse Hughes or Eagles of Death Metal.

    "In fact, Jesse is in Paris to share in remembering the tragic events of a year ago with his friends, family and fans."

    He added:

    Quote Message

    This is about recalling the tragic loss of life that happened right in front of his eyes during his show, and this coward Jules Frutos feels the need to soil his own club’s reopening by spreading false tales to the press, and tainting a wonderful opportunity that could’ve been used to spread peace and love, to further spread mean spirited words of hate."

    Miles Davis - Kind of BlueImage source, Colombia Records

    Kind of Blue, Miles Davis' seminal 1959 album has been voted the best jazz album of all time on BBC Music's pop up jazz radio station.

    For more than 90 hours straight over the weekend, it broadcast programmes featuring the likes of Jamie Cullum, Laura Mvula, Van Morrison and actor Don Cheadle - who played Miles in the recent biopic Miles Ahead.

    Following in the footsteps of the list of 50 Greatest Jazz Artists, which featured on last year's pop up station and was also won by Miles, a special programme was hosted by BBC Radio 3’s Geoffrey Smith and Jazz FM’s Helen Mayhew on Sunday afternoon.

    Geoffrey said, “Miles Davis rules the 50 Greatest Jazz Albums with three in the top 10, crowned at number one by Kind of Blue, the album for every mood and taste.

    "And for every listener - the one jazz album you’re bound to have if you just love music and Miles at their best.”

    Here are some clips from the weekend, starting with Don talking about Miles' hatred of critics and Laura's love of the trumpeter - calling him "the ultimate icon".

    Now, she's no stranger to left-field art-forms and that's certainly reflected in Yoko Ono's bizarre message for incoming US president Donald Trump.

    While Lady Gaga chose to protest outside Trump Towers and Moby penned an open letter to the American people to show his concern, Yoko has taken a more, shall we say minimalist approach.

    The Japanese artist lets out what can only be described as a 17 second primal scream, which you can enjoy/endure below.

    The British singer told the audience, including survivors, that they had to honour the dead and celebrate life.

    Speaking in French Sting said: "We will not forget them", before beginning with the song Fragile, singing:

    Sticking with Leonard Cohen for a moment and his son Adam has written a brief eulogy to the late singer praising his "approachable elegance"

    Writing on Facebook, external, he said he and his sister had buried his father in Montreal next to his mother and father, "with only immediate family and a few lifelong friends present," adding it was "exactly as he’d asked".

    Quote Message

    As I write this I’m thinking of my father’s unique blend of self-deprecation and dignity, his approachable elegance, his charisma without audacity, his old-world gentlemanliness and the hand-forged tower of his work. There’s so much I wish I could thank him for, just one last time. I’d thank him for the comfort he always provided, for the wisdom he dispensed, for the marathon conversations, for his dazzling wit and humor."

    He added: "I’d thank him for music; first for his music which seduced me as a boy, then for his encouragement of my own music, and finally for the privilege of being able to make music with him."
