Ray Manzerek and Robbie Krieger have lost a court appeal to continue touring as The Doors Of The 21st Century.

Original drummer John Densmore has long insisted that without Jim Morrison a official band reunion can ever take place and therefore The Doors name should not be taken out on the road. Manzarek and Krieger fought Densmore's injunction, but the Los Angeles Superior Court has now upheld the decision. The pair will now have to continue playing under the name, Riders on The Storm.

Glastonbury Festival's Michael Eavis has announced a new ticketing scheme for next year's event.

In a statement emailed to this year's registrants, Worthy Farm's head honcho said: "We have come up with a scheme that will allow people a much longer period to plan and pay for their tickets, while still continuing the battle against ticket touting.

"By paying as little as £50 up front this year, our registered customers from all over the world will be able to guarantee a ticket for next year's event. At the same time, the very successful registration scheme will ensure that tickets will only go to those named individuals who have reserved them in advance."
