Iggy Pop has hit out against U2 for the way they 'gifted' new album Songs Of Innocence to all iTunes users – and praised Thom Yorke for distributing a solo album via BitTorrent. Delivering the fourth annual John Peel Lecture at the Radio Festival in Salford last night (October 13), Pop said: "The people who don't want the free U2 download are trying to say, don't try to force me. And they've got a point."

Isaiah 'Ikey' Owens, best known as keyboard player in Jack White's band, has died aged 38. News of Isaiah 'Ikey' Owens' passing was announced on Jack White's official website, via a statement which read: "It is with great sadness that we tell the world of the passing of the incredible musician Isaiah 'Ikey' Owens. He will be missed and loved forever by his family, friends, bandmates and fans."
