Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Paul McCartney are all in the running to be the next act to hold a residency at the MSG Sphere in Las Vegas.

According to reports, Beyonce paid a visit to the innovative venue with her husband Jay Z to check out the stage, but organisers are also keen to see Lady Gaga and Beatles legend Macca welcome fans there, too. No names have yet been officially confirmed but U2 are scheduled to finish their current run of shows in February.

The late Amy Winehouse's iconic debut album Frank is going to be re-released as a picture disc for the first time to mark its 20th anniversary. The album which was released in 2003, will be redistributed as a double vinyl with the original classic sleeve imagery for the first LP and the second will feature uncovered artwork of Amy taken in 2003. Amy's debut may not have been as big of a commercial and critical success as her follow-up album, Back to Black, which won a Grammy, but the record was still a success and featured her iconic singles Stronger Than Me and Take The Box. The Frank re-release will be out in February 2024.
