What You Missed In Music This Week: The Maccabees Split, Snakehips & Zayn's New Video & Loads More!

This week's been a particularly busy one in the music world with some good news, and unfortunately some bad news, filling our timelines.

In the good news corner we got a brand new music video from Snakehips featuring the one and only Zayn Malik, but on the other hand one of our favourite bands, The Maccabees, decided to call it a day. 

Catch up with what you might have missed out on this week right here:

The Maccabees Announce Split After 14 Years Together

After over a decade of being a band, everyone's favourite indie rockers have announced that they're breaking up. In an extremely amicable open letter to fans the band have said they wish to go out at their 'creative peak' and that some 'farewell celebration shows' will be coming soon.

Needless to say we, along with the rest of the music world, are absolutely devastated by this news but totally commend the band for letting us know in such a respectful way, keeping the fans at the heart of their message. 

Excuse us while we sob and listen to 'Toothpaste Kisses' on repeat.

Snakehips Unveil Music Video For 'Cruel' Featuring ZAYN

After releasing their epic new single 'Cruel', we've been dying to see Snakehips and ZAYN's official music video for the track. 

Luckily for us, we didn't have to wait long, and even then, it was definitely worth the wait. Thank you ZAYN and Snakehips, you're the best.

Spencer Smith Surprises Brendon Urie On Stage For Panic! At The Disco Reunion

Panic! At The Disco's frontman (and only original member) Brendon Urie was surprised onstage by former drummer, Spencer Smith, at their recent show in Irvine, CA. 

It was such a special moment with Smith, who famously left the band due to ongoing addiction problems, bringing on Urie's guitar for 'This Is Gospel', a track that is about their relationship. Aw, you guys! We love a mini Panic! At The Disco reunion.

Colplay, Muse & More Donate Live Glastonbury Tracks To Oxfam Charity Album

To keep the festival spirit alive Oxfam have collaborated with Glastonbury, and loads of the artists that performed there, to put together a charity album filled with live tracks from this year's festival.

Oxfam Presents: Stand As One - Live At Glastonbury is out now and the likes of Glastonbury headliners Coldplay and Muse have all donated tracks to the cause.

It is partly dedicated to the memory of Jo Cox with 25% of proceeds going to her fund, an organisation set up following her death. The rest of the proceeds will go to Oxfam's refugee crisis appeal.

Taylor Swift's social media updates are very few and far between these days so we were absolutely delighted when she decided to celebrate both International Cat Day and Shawn Mendes' 18th birthday on her Instagram story.

Lip syncing along to his new track 'Treat You Better' Taylor can be seen dancing around in an amazing cat print jumper and we wish we were there dancing alongside her.

Keep doing you, Taylor. Never change.
