Drake has delayed the release of his new album for the second time. The Canadian rapper was supposed to perform For All the Dogs this week, but fans now have to wait a little longer. Drizzy took to social media directly to tell his massive fan base that he was faced with the dilemma of whether to cancel shows on his Its All A Blur tour to finish the album or finish the mission and finish the record before the tour ends. Drake seems to have opted for the latter as he said at the time that the album will now be released on October 6th instead, as he told his fans that he owes them the memories they build at his epic live shows.

SZA’s mysterious absence from the MTV Video Music Awards was explained by her manager. Terence Henderson spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about why the Kill Bill hitmaker was not present at the awards when he said it was “disrespectful” for MTV to snub the RnB singer in the Artist of the Year category. Terrance added that SZA has had one of the most successful and strongest years in her career so far, thanks to the great album SOS, and that it makes no sense for her not to receive a nomination. Artists receiving accolades in that category included Beyonce, Shakira and Doja Cat, with Taylor Swift winning the gong.

Liam Gallagher has said his next album for C’mon You Know is almost done. The former Oasis frontman told a fan on Twitter that he is in no rush to announce a new tour as he has only just finished an album, hinting that an album release is on the way. Liam’s last record came out in 2022 and he’s shown no signs of slowing down since then, having also released a live album from his big show at the iconic Knebworth last year where he headlined one of the biggest shows of his career, playing to 170,000 people over two night.

And BBC Radio Two in the park closed on Sunday and must have gone down with a bang. Pop legend Kylie Minogue took to the stage to headline the closing set, singing her greatest hits including Can’t Get You Out of My Head and her latest hit, Padam Padam. But in one epic moment, fellow singer Jessie Ware joined Kylie on stage to sing their hit Kiss Of Life together. Jessie took to social media afterwards to say it was an absolute dream to join Kylie on stage, calling her an icon. You can watch the entire broadcast on BBC Sounds and BBC iPlayer.
