What You Missed In Music: The Weeknd, Lady Gaga & Kristen Stewart

Lady Gaga   Played A Special Christmas Gig On A London Rooftop

Lady Gaga does whatever she bloody well wants. This is a fact. A Planet Earth fact. Protest against Donald Trump outside Trump Tower while standing on a sanitation truck? She did it. (Good on her, but we have no idea where she got that sanitation truck.

Tour her new album Joanne across a load of tiny dive bars in the states to approximately 18 people? She did that too.

So it comes as no surprise at all that Gaga played her latest gig – not in a gig venue - but on top of a rooftop in London. 100 lucky fans were in attendance, and they were treated to a series of stripped back, acoustic renditions of ‘Bad Romance’ and new single ‘Million Reasons’.

“I love my London and UK fans so much, and performing my new music for them in such an intimate and spectacular location was the perfect way to celebrate the holidays,” Gaga said.

In other Lady Gaga news, the ‘Perfect Illusion’ singer will be performing on The X Factor on Sunday night.

Kristen Stewart   Goes Joy Riding In New Rolling Stones   Music Video

Do you like The Rolling Stones? Of course you do. Would you like to watch Kristen Stewart look really f*cking cool as she joy rides around the states in an American muscle car for three straight minutes? Of course you do.

The Rolling Stones, one of The Best Bands Of All Time, released Blue & Lonesome, their first album in over a decade, today. It’s streaming everywhere.

The Weeknd   Broke A Spotify Record

The Weeknd released his latest album, Starboy, earlier this month and we haven’t stopped listening to it since. Isn’t ‘I Feel It Coming’ brilliant?
