Other notable announcements and developments today…

• Ed Sheeran managed to fuck everything up yesterday, breaking royal protocol by informally touching Prince Charles on the arm when he went to collect his MBE. It might seem like a small thing, but I think it confirms once and for all that we should definitely abolish the royal family. And Ed Sheeran too, for accepting their stupid prize.

• Camila Cabello has announced that she will release her debut solo album, ‘Camilla’, on 28 Jan.

• Lil Wayne has announced that he will release his new EP, ‘Dedication 6’, on Christmas Day. So that’s the argument over what you’ll listen to during Christmas lunch settled.

• The Manic Street Preachers have released the first single from their upcoming new album, ‘Resistance Is Futile’. Here’s their tribute to foreign secretary Boris Johnson (possibly), ‘International Blue’.

• Sophie is back with new single, ‘Ponyboy’.

• Just in time for the new year, The Big Moon have released a video for their song ‘Happy New Year’.

• Alleged comedian Jack Whitehall is “THRILLED to be hosting the BRITs”. Absolutely “THRILLED”. He could not be more “THRILLED”. “It is the kind of show you dream of hosting as a kid, so really excited to have been asked”, he adds. Just to confirm, Jack Whitehall has actually been hired to host the BRITs next year. Decisions like this are why they put so much booze on the tables at these events.
