Jarvis Cocker, famous, of course, for wiggling his bum at Michael Jackson during the Brits in 1996, comments on the star’s death: "If there’s a tragedy about the whole thing, I would say that’s that if he’d have kept making great records – like he did in the mid-80s – up to now that would have been great. But for some reason, for the last 20 years he didn’t do that, and for me that’s the tragic part of it" |

You probably haven’t even got around to hosing off your wellies yet, but Michael Eavis has revealed that he’s already working on getting next year’s Glastonbury headliners: "We’ve got some headliners who haven’t played for a few years and some who have never played here. I’m not saying names, it will be the same old guessing game. But they’re all on the phone at the moment so it will be special" |

Patrick Wolf says he may enter a song for next year’s Eurovision song contest if it receives a good response when he performs it at the Latitude festival next week: "There is a big hit song that I have been sitting on for the sequel to ‘The Bachelor’ that I have plans to debut at Latitude. If it goes down well, then I will enter it into the Eurovision Song Contest. No joke" |

Michael Jackson’s longtime dermatologist Dr Arnold Klein denies, with an unusual turn of phrase, rumours that he was the sperm donor for the singer’s eldest two children, managing to do exactly the opposite of what he was aiming for: "To the best of my knowledge, I am not the father of these children. I can’t answer it in any other way. I don’t want to feed any of this insanity that is going around" |

Ash frontman Tim Wheeler reveals that, from October, the band will release a new single every fortnight for a year: "We’ve already recorded 44 tracks and we’re going to do more as well, because we’re experimenting a lot. About half of them are at the level we need them to be. When we’re releasing that many songs in a year, we need to be pleased with them" |

Noel Gallagher says bands who don’t do drugs are idiots: "I look at Chris Martin, who says he has never taken drugs in his life, and I think he is an idiot. Doing drugs is the most beautiful thing about being in a rock band. Up until 1998 I must have spent £1 million on drugs – then I stopped, because it is bad for your health, brain, life and for people around you. But while you use them – mamma mia" |
