We're done for the day but that doesn't mean you can't have some fun scrolling back down for news on a Robbie Williams tour, details of the Brits voting overhaul, all the round ups from the Mobos and the MTV EMAs and see what Metallica's James Hetfield thinks of celebrities wearing Metallica t-shirts as a fashion statement.
It seems that Bruno Mars might be having a bit of a problem leaving his hotel after the MTV Europe Music Awards last night.
He's restorted to donning a cunning disguise and posted a picture on Instagram.

Green Day new video
Hot on the heels of their global icon award at the MTV Europe Music Awards Green Day have released the video for their new track Still Breathing.
After their comments at the ceremony about the "horrendous" US election that takes place tomorrow - and how their entire country is about to have "one big collective heart attack" we guess this is their anthem for the day after.
The chairman of the Brit Awards, Ged Doherty, has admitted it was Stormzy's criticism of a lack of black nominees which led to a whole rethink on the voting process.
"I think we had to hold our hands up in February and say we had been making changes to the academy anyway but we weren't making them perhaps as quickly as we should," he told Newsbeat.
"I remember earlier this year when Stormzy tweeted about being shocked about some of the Brits nominations. That was really a wake-up call for me."
Zoltan Kocsis, pianist, conductor and musical director of the Hungarian National Philharmonic has died at the age of 64.
A statement from the Philharmonic announced the news saying he had died "after a long illness borne with dignity."
"The vacuum he leaves is immeasurable.''
Hungary's Ministry of Human Resources, which oversees cultural affairs, said his death was an "irreplaceable loss for Hungarian culture and contemporary music history''.
Nick Jonas shares new video, urges people to 'keep on drinking'
While his brother Joe is off making music with DNCE, Nick Jonas wants to remind the world that there is more than one Jonas brother.
He has shared his new video for Champagne Problems, which mainly involves lots of people at a club drinking champagne direct from the bottle while he sits on the dancefloor in sunglasses (of course) singing.
Now we all knew that he was born in the USA, as he'll tell anyone who'll listen, but now we know for sure which way Bruce Springsteen will vote in Tuesday's US presidential election.
The New Jersey rocker will join Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama on the streets of swing-state Philadelphia on Monday night.
The Boss and Bon Jovi will perform at the city's Independence Hall, as Clinton delivers her final words to the American people before the vote.
Jean-Jacques Perrey, the pioneering French electronic music composer has died aged 87.
He died on Friday at his home in Lausanne, Switzerland after suffering from lung cancer.
His friend and collaborator Dana Countryman revealed the news and paid tribute online.
Quote Message: For those who don’t realise it, Jean-Jacques first started recording electronic music in 1952, long before the Moog synthesizer was first made for sale in 1967. Relocating from Paris to New York City, JJ actually owned and recorded with the second Moog ever produced, and with his musical partner Gershon Kingsley, they released their first Moog album -- almost two years before Wendy Carlos released her first Moog album.

Quote Message: Jean-Jacques was truly the pioneer of popular electronic music. His crazy, happy music has been heard everywhere from commercials, to Sesame Street - in hip-hop songs, in dance remixes and most famously, for decades in the delightful featured music in Disneyland’s Main Street Electrical Parade. In recent years, his music has even made appearances on The Simpsons, and on Comedy Central’s South Park.

Apparently it wasn't until he visited Disneyland years after it was first used that he realised Disney had been using the song.
In Rolling Stone magazine's obituary they outline how he influenced hip-hop with his music being sampled by Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, A Tribe Called Quest.
Fans have been paying tribute on Twitter and posting his music. They include DJ Shadow, director Edgar Wright and comedy actor and musician Matt Berry.
We particularly like Adam Buxton's choice of music to pay tribute.
Arcade Fire have been announced as the Saturday night headliners for next year's Isle of Wight Festival.
The festival's promoter John Giddings was apparently initially recommended the band by David Bowie, for whom once he worked as an agent.
Early bird tickets go on sale this morning for the festival which takes place between the 8 - 11 June.
Brit Awards overhaul voting system
Earlier this year, the Brit Awards were branded "embarrassing" by Stormzy in his song One Take Freestyle while Laura Mvula threatened to boycott the ceremony due to its lack of diversity.
BAME artists were excluded from all but the international categories.
Now, organisers have announced an overhaul of their voting system in an attempt to be more inclusive.
They have invited 718 potential new pundits which would see voters from BAME backgrounds making up 17% of the panel, up from 15% last year.
Mr Robot actor to play Freddie Mercury in stalled biopic
ReutersCopyright: Reuters
Rami Malek, the Emmy-award winning actor from US series MR Robot is apparently going to play Freddie Mercury in the long-awaited biopic about the late Queen frontman.
The part was due to be played by Sacha Baron Cohen but he dropped out over that old chestnut - "creative differences".
Rami's casting was revealed over the weekend by The Usual Suspects and X Men director Bryan Singer who is currently in talks to direct the film.
Ah, the folly of youth... New Zealand singer Lorde has penned an emotional post in Facebook lamenting hitting the grand old age of 20.

I haven’t had my hair or makeup done in a year, the free handbags dried up LONG ago, and the paparazzi at the airport are almost always for someone else.

Lorde is the youngest solo artist to have a US number one since 1987, she has won two Grammys, a Brit and ten New Zealand Music Awards.
Oh, and she was named among Time magazine's most influential teenagers in the world and Forbes' 30 Under 30 list.
Someone really needs to tell her that there is a LONG way to go yet.
Identity crisis at the MOBOs

To Friday night's Mobo Awards now in Glasgow where officials were left red-faced after R&B trio WSTRN were mistakenly given someone else's prize.
The Londoners were announced as winners of best song and gave a speech before organisers revealed the prize should have gone to MC Abra Cadabra.
Awkward.
A Mobo spokesperson, who blamed a "production error" for the gaffe, said: "Of the many worthy winners of best song, we deeply regret a mistake was made."
Gaz Ft. Gaz on Twitter sums up WSTRN's emotional roller-coaster nicely below.
Justin Bieber topped the winners list at the MTV Europe Music Awards, hosted by Bebe Rexha, in Rotterdam last night.
Biebs beat Adele's Sorry to pick up best song for Sorry. He also won the biggest fans award and bizarrely, for a European awards ceremony, he won best Canadian act.
He didn't turn up to the awards but tweeted his thanks to his fans.
Perhaps he was a bit sore that Shawn Mendes beat him in the best male category and to the best worldwide act title.

The other big winners were Lady Gaga and Dutch DJ Martin Garrix and Twenty One Pilots who won two each.
Gaga, who won best female and best look, was also a no show.
The ceremony paid tribute to Prince with purple trophies as seen below being handed to The Weeknd who won best video for Starboy ft. Daft Punk.

Other winners were Zara Larsson for best new act, Coldplay won best rock act and Little Mix won best UK and Ireland act, beating Zayn and Adele to that one.
Drake was named best hip-hop act while Green Day were given the global icon prize for their contribution to music.
Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong told the audience it was "really nice to be in Europe right now".
Quote Message: It's nice to be out of America just for a second because of this horrendous election that's going on right now. Our entire country is about to have one big collective heart attack.

They closed the show with American Idiot, dedicated to a certain US political candidate. You can watch it on MTV's Twitter feed (if you don't mind a bit of swearing).
There were also live performances from DNCE, Zara Larsson, Bruno Mars
Let's hope so hey? Welcome back to another week of Music News LIVE.
To ease you into the working week we'll have news from the MTV EMAs as Justin Bieber cleans up, Green Day have a special message for Donald Trump and further reaction from Friday's MOBOs.
And don't forget you can still check out all of last week's LIVE pages, including Friday when the Dixie Chicks hit back over the Beyonce CMA controversy, unheard David Bowie vocals emerged and a sick Kanye stopped a show early.
So grab a cup of something warm and we'll get cracking.

Father John Misty records anti-Trump cover
Pitchfork
It's no secret that in the US, most celebrities who have made public appeals for Americans to vote have been leaning towards Hillary Clinton.
Comedian Tim Heidecker has recorded the anti-Donald Trump song Trump’s Pilot as part of the “30 Days, 50 Songs” campaign.
Written from the perspective of the Republican candidate's private pilot, he sings about wanting to intentionally crash the plane with Trump in it.
Here is Father John Misty and his cover of the song.

Springsteen, who previously backed Democrat Obama, told Rolling Stone that he believes Clinton would make a "very, very good president."
He had a few harsher words for Clinton's Republican rival Donald Trump, however.
