Drake has finally announced a new release date for his upcoming album, For All The Dogs. The rapper was due to drop the record last month, but it was pushed back for undisclosed reasons. However, fans can look forward to hearing Drizzy's new music when the album is released on September 22. It comes soon after Drake gifted a fan 50,000 dollars while performing in Las Vegas this week, in a bid to give back to a fan who had sacrificed his furniture money for a tour ticket.

The actress told Jimmy Fallon she was freak out after being asked to appear in the video, adding it was the biggest thing ever. The Stones will release their first album in 17 years on October 20th.

Two members of Snow Patrol have quit the band amid rumours of a rift. The band's frontman Gary Lightbody announced on social media that drummer Jonny Quinn and bassist Paul Wilson had made the decision to depart the group and that he was heartbroken by the news. However, despite reports of tension between the artist, the group will continue as a three-piece and are even set to release a new album next year. It comes after PEOPLE reported that Jonny Quinn's wife said that her husband's reasons for leaving were "not the best", hinting that things were less than amicable.
