That's your lot today folks - scroll down for news on Banks, Shura, Bastille, Robbie Williams and Adele and Drake to name a few and read up on that big Bros reunion.
Plus tributes have been paid to British musician Ron Temperton, without whom we would never have heard songs like Thriller, Rock With You, Give Me the Night and Boogie Nights.
We admit that headline might lead you to think Banks is a bit on the weird side, but the singer's actually been explaining what happened to the prosthetic head she had made in her image for her F With Myself video.
"I have it still," she told our reporter Mark Savage. "It smells weird because we lit it on fire, so I keep it in a box. But it's still mine!"
She also admits filming the video for the track off her new album The Altar, which sees her abusing a mannequin version of herself, was a strange experience...
Quote Message: It was weird! You only ever see a mirror image of yourself, so it was strange to see myself in 3D. But it was kind of therapeutic - especially hitting my own face, because it made me want to be really nice to myself. It was like seeing physically what I do to myself mentally sometimes.

Rod Temperton on writing Rock With You
Here's a clip from the archive of the great Rod Temperton - who has died aged 66 - talking about writing Rock with You for Michael Jackson...
Shura has released a video for 311215, a hidden track on her debut album Nothing's Real.
The singer said the emotional stripped back song, which features the voices of her family, is about "fear of death, the death of my parents and, to a certain extent, my own."
The video is a simple image of a television showing nostalgic excerpts from Shura's childhood home videos.
She is currently supporting Tegan & Sara on their US tour.
Garbage have shared the video for the second single off recent album Strange Little Birds, Magnetized.
It sees singer Shirley Manson - and her lip-synching young doppelganger - as mad-scientist types up to mischief in a lab.
Manson said the video was made in LA, "under the madcap direction of my next door neighbour Scott Stuckey", the creator of cult US kids TV show Pancake Mountain.
"We wanted to create an ode to the magic of science and the mysteries of love," she said.
A quick warning that it does contain a few close ups of eyeballs, just in case that kind of thing makes you feel queasy (or is that just us?), and a wee bit of blood...

In a message shared on his Twitter and Instagram accounts he said he was "absolutely gutted" to have to postpone Tuesday's show, but had been advised to rest his voice "so it doesn't risk further damage".
He added: "This isn't something we've ever done in years of touring so I feel very weird writing this. We've been very excited to play at The Bowery again and I can't apologise enough for messing you guys around."
On Monday's Music News LIVE we watched as legendary Ibiza club Space finished up its last ever party in its current guise, after playing host to clubbers for 27 years.
"There’s been no other club on this planet that has basically been as significant as this one," said Carl Cox (above), who put in an epic last session on several of the decks around the club.
The DJ has also shared his closing set, which finished up gone midday on Monday, on his Facebook page and you can still relive more than five hours of epic tunes and emotion on the Be-At.TV website. Enjoy...
Adele and Drake rule 2016... so far
EPACopyright: EPA
It will possibly come as no surprise, but Adele and Drake are the UK's biggest sellers of the year so far, according to the Official Charts Company.
Based on combined digital downloads, physical purchases and streaming equivalent sales, Drake's One Dance, is out in front in the singles chart
That's combined chart sales of 1.695m, including 504,600 downloads and 119m streams.
Lukas Graham's 7 Years is in second with Mike Posner’s I Took A Pill In Ibiza in third place.
Adele's 25, though it was released in November last year, is not only the fastest-selling album of all time, it has also sold more copies than any other so far in 2016 - with combined sales of 623,000.
Back to that mahoosive reunion which will see twin brothers Matt and Luke Goss reunite on stage as Bros (scroll down for more details).
Singer Matt (the one with the hat) says he may resurrect some of the band's old stage outfits when they play the O2 next year.
"I've actually got some in the hotel right now," he said. "My beautiful mum kept a lot of them safe for me. And it still fits, believe it or not.
"I've got one jacket that I wore at Wembley and then I went and saw the Rolling Stones in Kansas City and Ronnie Wood said, 'Matt can I wear your jacket?'
"And I just took it off there and then. I took my trousers off as well. Actually. I was naked in front of the Rolling Stones!"
Wood went out in front of the audience wearing the jacket, launching into Start Me Up as Matt watched from the side of the stage (possibly naked).
After the show, all of the Stones signed the coat and gave it back to a presumably now hypothermic Matt.
"I've never worn it since," he added.
Taylor Swift to headline pre-Super Bowl blowout
APCopyright: AP
Lady Gaga may have landed 2017's coveted halftime show, but Taylor Swift will be headlining the huge pre-Super Bowl concert in Texas the night before.
DirecTV's 12th annual Super Saturday Night will take place at a 64,000 square foot, specially made venue in Houston on 4 February.
The singer's performance is part of her exclusive new deal with US communications giant AT&T, who say the show is the "first of many events and experiences for fans".
It will be Swift's first major gig since her massive 1989 world tour wrapped up in December last year.
Gaga will then play the halftime show at the Super Bowl 51 at Houston's NRG Stadium on Sunday 5 February.
A date's been set for London nightclub Fabric to appeal against its licence being taken away.
The hearing is due to take place at Highbury Magistrates' Court on 28 November.
A crowdfunding campaign has raised more than £250,000 towards the club's legal fees.
In a blog post on the club's website, bosses said "words cannot express how humbled we all are at the overwhelming support" and revealed they "have begun preparing their case".
Mescudi has recently been involved in a Twitter spat with Kanye West, though the pair have seemingly reconnected.
He was also cast on the hit TV series Empire, only to leave before filming of the season started due to 'creative differences'.

Q Awards announces first live band to ever play the ceremony
BBCCopyright: BBC
Until this year, the Q Awards were a famously boozy lunch affair.
But now that the annual event has upped sticks from the posh Grosvenor Hotel to the Roundhouse in Camden, north London for 2 November, it seems only fitting that there should be some live music.
And the first ever band being announced to play the awards in their 26 year history, is none other than The Charlatans.
Watch an excited Tim Burgess make the announcement below below...
Bruce Springsteen can now add bestselling author to his list of achievements, after his memoir Born to Run debuted at the top of the UK book chart - ending hit thriller The Girl on the Train's run at number one.
It's the first celebrity autobiography to do so since Alex Ferguson's in 2013, and the first musical memoir since Cheryl Cole's My Story in autumn 2012, according to The Bookseller.
Figures from Nielsen BookScan show the Boss shifted 37,518 copies last week. The Girl on the Train and its film tie-in version (the movie starring Emily Blunt is out this weekend) were in second and third place in the Official UK Top 50, shifting 62,875 copies between them.
Springsteen's memoir sees the star addressing his mental health problems and his tricky relationship with his dad as well as his long career.
Writing in the New Statesman, David Hepworth calls him "a man born to tell stories", while Entertainment Weekly published this handy round-up of reviews including critics from Rolling Stone, The Guardian and NPR.
Brian Wilson hints at a new album 'by the end of the year'
Today Programme
BBC Radio 4
Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys has confirmed he is working on a new album.
The 74-year-old musical genius said his next project would be a cover album of rock'n'roll classics.
But he has not ruled out contributing his own material, saying "I can write rock'n'roll."
Perhaps an understatement from the man who helped shaped the sound of the 60s with the groundbreaking Pet Sounds.
In a wide-ranging interview with the Today programme on Radio 4, Wilson also talked about his struggles with depression and drug addiction.

Robbie rubs Russians up the wrong way
Robbie Williams has been accused of 'racism' over his new song Party Like A Russian.
It's the first single from his 11th studio album, Heavy Entertainment Show, which is due out on 4 November.
In a thick Russian accent, the track sees Robbie singing about drink, drugs, corruption and Russian dolls.
It also samples Dance Of The Knights by Russian composer, Sergey Prokofiev.
"There's 147 million people in Russia and I don't want to upset them in any way," said Robbie.
Might be a bit late for that Rob mate.

The greatest 80s pop reunion since sliced bread
Mark Savage
Music reporter
Pop stars Bros say they're "very excited" by plans to reunite for their 30th anniversary.
Twin brothers Matt and Luke Goss (but, sadly, not Craig "Ken" Logan) will play the O2 on 17 August next year. Tickets go on sale this Friday.
"This is something we've been trying to get together for 20 years," said Matt - who now has a solo residency in Las Vegas.
"I've always wanted it to happen in my heart," said Luke - who turned his attention to acting following the break up of the band.
"But it had to be the right time. It's a dream come true."
Hosting the press conference, TV presenter Emma Willis revealed she'd been a huge fan of the band in the 1980s.
When she got the call to work with the band, she said: "My inner 13-year-old broke out and collapsed on the floor, hyperventilating."
