You’re in the right place if you’ve missed any of the week’s top news stories – here Live4ever’s News Round-Up presents a recap of the biggest and best headlines we featured during the last seven days.

Adele and Ed Sheeran are the two names unsurprisingly dominating the list of the UK’s biggest selling albums of the 2010s which the Official Charts Company has released.

According to the OCC, Adele’s 21 is way out in front with 5.17m sales since its release in 2011, over one million ahead of the album in second place – her own follow-up 25.

Ian Brown has been revealed as the first headliner for next year’s Victorious Festival.

It adds to the Stone Roses frontman’s solo headline for Neighbourhood Weekender in 2020, and The Kooks, Peter Hook & The Light and Terrorvision have been confirmed to be joining him between August 28th-30th.

Marie Fredriksson of Roxette has died at the age of 61.

A statement released last week said: “It is with great sadness we have to announce that Marie Fredriksson of Roxette has passed away in the morning of December 9, following a 17-year long battle with cancer.”
