Green Day frontman Bille Joe Armstrong is to seek treatment for substance abuse, following an onstage outburst at weekend. The singer lost it at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas on Friday - see the video above - when told he had to cut his band's set short after one song. Following his outburst, which saw him smash his guitar, a spokesperson for the band announced that Armstrong had apologised to organisers for his behaviour and he would seek treatment, although they gave no details. It's unclear if this will impact on Green Day's scheduled US tour in November.

Pussy Riot's lawyers, speaking at a New York conference on Friday, have claimed the band's battle is not a legal one but a political fight. "In this case, we as lawyers don't separate ourselves from our defendants," Mark Feygin explained. "This is not a question of law, but a question of political struggle. We understand that this may sound a bit unnatural to the jurists here, but please make allowances for the fact that we're dealing with an authoritarian government here.

Beth Orton says that motherhood has transformed her as an artist, "Nancy [her daughter] was a big ending and a big beginning for me.
