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…

Stormzy‘s UK and Ireland tour dates have been moved to April next year.

The grime superstar had been due to go around the world during 2020 backing up his latest album Heavy Is The Head until the coronavirus pandemic put an end to all that.

Things move quick in modern pop, and Dua Lipa has duly announced a remix version of her Future Nostalgia album which was released in its organic form earlier this year.

Future Nostalgia will compete for the 2020 Mercury Prize next month, after a deluxe version of Dua Lipa’s second album is released on August 21st featuring alternate takes by big names such as Gwen Stefani and Mark Ronson.

Bon Iver have teamed up with Jenny Lewis and multi-instrumentalist Phil Cook for another standalone single, this one called AUATC.

Just like PDLIF of earlier this year, which benefited Direct Relief and the coronavirus pandemic frontline responders, Justin Vernon worked with Jim-E Stack and BJ Burton on production for this new track, after writing sessions with Cook and later contributions from Jenny Lewis, Jenn Wasner and more.

Haim by Paul Thomas Anderson

HAIM have announced some tour dates in England, Scotland and Wales after going to number one in the UK recently with their Women In Music Pt. III album.

The sisters will be looking to celebrate their success with fans in Manchester, London, Nottingham, Glasgow and Cardiff during June next year, starting with two shows at the O2 Victoria Warehouse.

Róisín Murphy has announced the release of her new album Róisín Machine on September 25th.

Although the record is described as the culmination of a long collaborative partnership between Murphy and Crooked Man – of which we’ve been hearing plenty from during the past year or so – its first single, Something More, was written for Murphy by Amy Douglas.

The Rolling Stones have posted a video for Scarlet, one of the previously unreleased tracks which will feature on the reissue of Goats Head Soup which is due on September 4th.

Scarlet can actually be traced back to the aftermath of the Stones’ 1973 album, to October 1974 and an impromptu session with Jimmy Page and Rick Grech.
