That's all for us today but scroll down for news on Bon Iver's cancelled European tour, Forbes magazine's 30 under 30 list, the Coachella line-up plus number three on the BBC's Sound of 2017 poll is revealed.
If the BBC had been running the Sound of... poll in 1967, then The Doors may have found their way on to it - as their debut album turns 50 years old today.
In that spirit - here's a little taster to take you back to your teenage angst years when you grew your hair long, claimed to hate your parents and seriously considered investing in a pair of leather trousers.
If you didn't do any of the above, then your dad probably did.
So the start of the new year is a good time to look to the future right?
We've already made a subtle Stateside holiday suggestion for you this summer (scroll down for Coachella news) and seen how technology is helping to bring Coldplay and Kanye much closer to their fans.
Now with the help of some industry experts and music types like Justin here, BBC Music is looking into its crystal ball to see what the immediate future may hold.
Alessia Cara and Chainsmokers among Forbes' 30 under 30 list

They have money, talent, power and youth on their side - curse them - and that is why artists like Canadian songstress Alessia Cara, rapper Desiigner and The Chainsmokers are named in Forbes magazine's 30 under 30.
Jason Derulo and Halsey were among the judges on the annual list, which also includes singer Galllant, Charlie Puth and rapper Lil Yachty.
The 30 Under 30, which also features 29 other categories including arts and style, social entrepreneurs and entertainment, awards the "leading young change-makers and innovators in the US".
Earlier today, we brought you the news that the band were confirmed to perform at Californian festival Coachella in April and that remains the case at present.
Mixed emotions from fans below who had planned to see Justin and the gang over the coming months.
So you know how these days your favourite major recording artists are also massive money-making commercial machines? You knew that right? #sorrynotsorry
From the clothes and bling they wear at their gigs to the drinks they supposedly drink backstage (according to the ads).
Well, believe it or not, this was not always the case.
The BBC's business has been looking back at a seminal case of cross-brand promotion from 2000, involving Sting, a Desert Rose and Jaguar S-Type car, that heralded in the age of syncing.
In a lengthy post on his website, the singer said: "I am always writing music, I am very lucky that way - there is always an idea and something that inspires me, even if it takes me a minute to figure out what I want to say, which is what really creates the space between releases.
Quote Message: I am about to convert a structure on our property into a recording studio, which actually won’t take a lot of work as the space is already pretty perfect. Great drum sounds and church ceilings. Secret echo chambers. I look forward to making some really weird stuff here, and mine for the really hard to get diamonds."

He also goes on to mourn the loss, in 2016, of actress Carrie Fisher and George Michael who he said was "a booming voice, an amazing talent, and a quietly charitable individual."
Quote Message: Watching him struggle over the years with being in the public eye had been difficult, and eventually something I think everyone can now relate to, us all being in the public eye constantly. He inspired me in many ways."

Hip hop rapper to appear on The Simpsons
Down the years, Springfield has seen some pretty special musical guests, from the Beatles, to Britney and back.
Now US comedian Keegan-Michael Key is set to bring former rapper and current candle salesman Jazzy James to life in a new season 28 episode.
The new, hour-long episode also stars Snoop Dogg, RZA and Common.
Here is Key creating the "lyrical miracle" whose "skills were empirical".
We think he'll do well indeed to top the efforts of the Hiphopopotamus however.
Spice Girls star-turned-reality show judge Mel B has said press have it all wrong about the reunited band (minus Victoria Beckham and Mel C).
Well all wrong in so far as the name of the band which is being reported.
"There is no GEM, I don't know why journalists keep on saying that. It's Geri, Melanie and Emma," she told the Press Association.
"I don't live here so it's fine by me, I don't have to hear it every day, but I'm sure they hear it every day."
Mel has re-teamed with bandmates Geri Horner (nee Halliwell) and Emma Bunton to record new music - and a track, apparently by the trio leaked online in November.
Last year marked the 20th anniversary of the release of the group's debut single Wannabe and the girls are planning some kind of 'celebration'.
At least, that's what the press are calling it - we're sticking with 'event'.
Kim and Kanye post family snaps
Well, 2016 was probably a year to forget for Mr and Mrs Kanye West.
Kanye spent a week in an LA hospital with exhaustion after an apparent break down on stage in California.
He was also criticised by fellow musicians like John Legend for appearing publicly with controversial Republican President-Elect Donald Trump.
Kim withdrew from social media completely after the incident, but last night made her long-awaited return, posting a family pic of her with her hubby and kids on Twitter.
These public family photo albums are becoming all the rage these days, after Beyonce and Jay Z featured the birthday bash of their daughter in a recent music video.
Kanye beat his missus to it however over Christmas when he posted this "happy holidays" pic of the four of them in front of their massive tree.
What will 2017 hold for the Kardashian-Wests? Stay tuned to your social media channels.
The Velvet Underground's John Cale has revealed that he is working on a new album which will take its lead from rap music.
Speaking to singer Jehnny Beth from Mercury Prize nominees Savages’, on her Beats 1 show, Cale revealed he was workin on some new music adding: "That’s why I’ve been listening to all this hip-hop".
Apparently his listening tastes extent to artists like Chance the Rapper, Earl Sweatshirt and , Vince Staples.
The album could also arrive by Spring.
Here's John performing with Anna Calvi at the David Bowie Prom last year.
Now, none other than the mother of R&B star Frank Ocean has revealed that she asked him to edit out Burrell's contribution to the song Godspeed from his chart-topping Blond album.
Ocean came out in 2012 and Kaytona Breaux went on to say that "Hypocrisy and the inciting of hate," well, lets just say it annoys her.

Stormzy, Blossoms and Glass Animals will all fly the flag for new British music and they all seem pretty pumped.
In the footage, which has been shared thousands of times on social media, she seemed to be struggling with her earpiece, appeared to be lip synching to a backing track and performed awkwardly with her backup dancers.
Her management blamed Dick Clark Productions for the mess, saying she was "set up to fail" - which the company has firmly denied.
Now, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Mariah added: "I’m of the opinion that Dick Clark would not have let an artist go through that and he would have been as mortified as I was in real time."
She said: "It’s not going to stop me from doing a live event in the future. But it will make me less trusting of using anyone outside of my own team."
Janet Jackson has some sleepless nights ahead of her after having her first child at the age of 50.
Her publicist has confirmed the singer and her billionaire Qatari businessman husband Wissam Al Mana were "thrilled" to welcome the infant, Eissa Al Mana.
"Janet had a stress-free healthy delivery and is resting comfortably," the statement added.
Hope she enjoyed "resting comfortably" as she's about to be very busy.
It's day two of the new Music News LIVE term everybody and you're already half way through the week nearly.
Today, as thoughts turn to the future (and planning summer hols), we'll have news of this year's Coachella lineup and reveal the third name from the BBC Sound of 2017 list.

Watch Sia's new music video for the Lion soundtrack
A slightly creepy new video from Sia now, taken from the soundtrack to the new movie Lion.
Never Give Up sees two young runaways, wearing Sia wigs and blacked out faces, running around inside a disused train station.
Or at least we hope that it's disused, as they're dashing around on the train tracks which is both irresponsible and silly.
Remember, safety first kids.

Gerard Way looking forward to making 'really weird stuff'
After one of last year's biggest misunderstandings - a My Chemical Romance reunion which was revealed to be merely an album re-release - singer Gerard Way has been writing about some actual new music.
In a lengthy post on his website, the singer said: "I am always writing music, I am very lucky that way - there is always an idea and something that inspires me, even if it takes me a minute to figure out what I want to say, which is what really creates the space between releases.
