A large crowed of Beatles fans gathered yesturday in London to re-create the famous ‘Abbey Road’ record sleeve.

The stunt coincided with the 40th Anniversay of the Classic album and took place outside the legendary studio.

Four lookalikes crossed the zebra crossing outside the studio as fans looked on, which caused huge traffic tailbacks.

“The sleeve is so easy to copy - well normally it is easy to copy. It’s simple and a shrine to The Beatles.” Richard Porter the organiser of the stunt said.

The former Beatles tour manager was present to mark the occassion, saying: “Myself, Ringo and Paul are the only people still alive who where originally present that day. It’s great to see that all carries on.”

Oasis suffered another sound problem, this time at thier Wembley Stadium show. This time Noel Gallagher quickly quashed any refunds.

A loss of sound was suffered towards the end of ‘Wonderwall’, although the crowd sang the the rest of the song.

However this time the band announced that their would be no refunds for the loss in sound. “Last time this happened it cost us £500,000, so to be clear none of you are getting your money back” He shouted from the stage. “Not you, you, not you and not you with the glasses!”

The sound problem was quickly resolved and frontman Liam Gallagher was then able to continue with ‘Supersonic’.

Muse recently told the NME in an interview that their latest album ‘The Resistance’ will feature slap bass.

Once synominus with 80s funk, slap bass has slowly lost popularity as many frown upon it.

However, Chris Wolstenhome has admitted Muse’s lastest track ‘Unnatural Selection’, will feature the effect as apposed to Matt Bellamy’s trademark guitar.

“I know it’s not cool to play slap bass, but it just seemed to work in that song.. so we kept it in.” he addmitted.

Muse revealed the tracklisting for ‘The Resistance’ through the popular micro-blogging network Twitter. Matt Bellamy added he relied on his bandmates’ faith when producing ‘Exogenesis’ which is said to be an epic three-part closer.

“I had to get the other two to trust me with the one, but it turned out amazing.” he explained

U2 kicked off their world tour on Tuesday at the Barcelona Nou Camp stadium covering two Michael Jackson songs in their set. They played ‘Man in the Mirror’ set to be number one along with ‘Don’t stop till ya get enough’.

They revealed their space station-style stage during their performance which has them playing in the centre of the Nou Camp stadium.
Bono greeted fans informing them that this was the right place for U2, ”this has been our neighbourhood for the last couple of weeks, this is where we wanted to build our space station”.
The group played a mix of their hits ranging from the legendary ‘Beautiful Day’ to songs from their recent album ‘No Line On The Horizon’ whilst images of them were projected with a spherical screen around the venue.

U2 are playing at the Nou Camp Stadium in Barcelona again tonight.

The body of the King of Pop is to be taken to his famous Neverland Ranch on Thursday in preperation for a public viewing on Friday.
The ranch will be opened to the public for fans to have one last look at Jacko! The King of pop died on June 25th after a cardiac arrest.

MJ bought the Neverland ranch in 1987 and made it famous when he turned it into an amusement park and zoo. He lived there until 2005 when he ran into financial difficulties and had to sell part of it.
