The Rolling Stones have cancelled the first date of their Australian tour after the death of Mick Jaggar's girlfriend, the US fashion designer L'Wren Scott.
Pussy Riot have debuted a video for their track "Putin Will Teach You To Love The Motherland".
The Russian punk collective unveiled the video yesterday (February 20) in response to the aggressive treatment they have received in Sochi.

Among the artists covering Browne's songs are Bruce Springsteen, Don Henley, Lucinda Williams, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Hornsby, JD Souther and Joan As Police Woman.
