NEWS DIGEST: Wednesday, April 16

Brian May has revealed that a sequel to the Queen/Ben Elton stage musical We Will Rock You is in the pipeline. Speaking at a ceremony to induct him as Chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University, the guitar whiz told reporters: "We are planning the sequel. It is a real challenge."

HERE are the lyrics to the We Will Rock You version of Queen's 1984 smash Radio Ga Ga...

In the meantime, May is currently preparing for Queen & Paul Rodgers' autumn world tour and the release of their new album. "The long arm of Queen has pulled me back in at the moment. It is a beast," he added. "We've chosen our set, we've chosen our environment on tour. It is very exciting, very exciting indeed. Very time consuming but Queen always was consuming." The band debuted a new track, C-Lebrity on Al Murray's TV show last week. You can check it out HERE.

Hot on the heels of the recent reissue of The Lemonheads' 1992 classic It's A Shame About Ray, Evan Dando et al have now been confirmed as headliner's of this year's Truck Festival in Oxfordshire. It is likely to be the indie heroes only UK appearance. They are slated to play the album in full.

The excellent Truck Festival takes place between July 19 and 20. Tickets cost £60 and are available HERE.

"May you build a ladder to the stars/ And climb on every rung/ May you stay forever young." So sang Bob Dylan back in 1974. Now, award-winning artist Paul Rogers has used the lyrics to Forever Young as his key inspiration for a new children's book. The publication is due to hit shelves on October 6.

And finally...Happy Birthday Dusty Springfield! The soul sensation would have been 69 today. Take it away Dusty...

  • Cracking bit of Dusty footage... Can't honestly see how Duffy can be compared to the great lady, not by a long way!

  • Dusty Springfield was without doubt one of the greatest soul singers in the world and certainly the finest european chanteuse. There are few contemporary comparisons in the diva deluge or retrograde stylists that are currently washed ashore who come remotely close. A unique talent who's back catalogue deserves wider recognition.
