Keane have paid tribute to drum tech Scott Johnson who was killed when a stage in Toronto collapsed ahead of a Radiohead show. Johnson had regularly workedfor the trio who wrote: "We lost our great friend Scott Johnson on Saturday. Scott has been part of our touring family since 2004, working as drum tech, stage manager, and studio tech, but he gave us so much more - he saw the good in everything. He was the cheerful, dependable guy you could always turn to, who lifted the spirits of everyone around him. We can't believe he's gone. Our thoughts are with his family and friends; Radiohead and their crew. We love you Scotty, we'll miss you."

George Michael will release a new single, White Light, on 12 August. "On the 29th of June this year it will be 30 years to the day that Wham Rap, my first single, written with Andrew Ridgeley, (on an afternoon that the two of us should have been at school!), entered the British charts. To celebrate and commemorate those thirty wonderful years I am releasing my most recent song, White Light, to radio on the exact anniversary of that chart date," explains the singer. "Although I know the music industry tradition on such occasions is to list the hundreds of millions of albums sold, the number of records broken and awards received over all those years, I would simply like to say thank you.... I am truly blessed, and White Light is my thank you to everybody who has been a part of my success. And I mean everybody, including the press!! Long may it continue."
