The 1975 invited a fan on-stage to perform ‘Robbers’ during their show in Bangkok last night (April 4) – check out the footage below.The Manchester band were playing at the Impact Arena in Thailand’s capital city as part of the Asian leg of their acclaimed ‘At Their Very Best’ tour.Midway through the 20-song set, frontman Matty Healy granted an audience member’s wish to assist on guitar while The 1975 played ‘Robbers’ from their 2013 self-titled debut album.“Wait a second,” Healy said. “Can you play it? Or are you just wanting to get on-stage? Can you play just the rhythm bit? [It’s] just E… you play E straight down the line? Come on then…”After the fan made it up on stage, he was given a pair of in-ear stage monitors and handed Healy’s red guitar.

Twenty-two people died and hundreds were injured when suicide bomber Salman Abedi detonated an explosive device in the foyer at the venue at the end of an Ariana Grande concert on May 22, 2017.Martin and Eve Hibbert, a father and daughter who suffered disabilities from the incident, are now taking legal action against Richard D Hall, per Rolling Stone UK.Hall, who is a conspiracy theorist, has falsely claimed that the Manchester Arena bombing was faked.He told BBC News last year that he had spied on Eve from a vehicle parked outside her home. Hall reportedly stalked Manchester Arena survivors in an attempt to find out if they were lying about their injuries.According to the Guardian, the Hibbert family sought a restraining injunction and damages last Friday (March 31) after Hall promoted the theory that the attack never happened and reportedly admitted to spying on the victims.On Monday (April 3), the Hibberts’ lawyers said: “We can confirm that proceedings were issued in the high court on Friday on behalf of Martin and his daughter Eve.“Those proceedings are for protection from harassment and misuse of private information and include an application for a restraining injunction and damages.

Josh Homme has shared a new and rare public statement about his ongoing legal battle with ex-wife Brody Dalle.The pair have been involved in a long-running public battle for custody of their three children. Both Dalle and Homme filed their respective restraining orders against each other in 2021, while Dalle was convicted in November of that year of one count of contempt by a Los Angeles judge for “wilfully” failing to hand her five-year-old son over to Homme in September as part of an agreed custody deal.Now, Homme has shared a lengthy statement, giving an update and claiming that a new permanent restraining order was granted against Dalle for a period of one year and 11 months, meaning she is not allowed to contact the Homme family, including Josh, his parents and the former couple’s three children.“Out of respect and concern for his minor children and their well-being, Joshua Homme has previously refrained from making public statements about his family to the media,” the statement began.

Sony Music again this week argued that a copyright dispute with former members of the Jimi Hendrix Experience should be pursued in the courts in New York not London.Lawsuits have been filed on both sides of the Atlantic, but – Sony’s legal rep said – the US case should be prioritised, because the outcome in that will “save time, money and resources” when it comes to the UK litigation.This dispute is between Sony Music and the Jimi Hendrix’s estate on one side, and UK-based companies representing the estates of the other two members of the Jimi Hendrix Experience band – Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell – on the other.The latter claim they control rights in relation to the Experience catalogue which are being infringed by the Hendrix estate and its music distribution partner, which is Sony Music.The Hendrix estate counters that, after Hendrix’s death in 1970, both Redding and Mitchell signed agreements via which they basically gave up any copyright or royalty claims in relation to recordings made by the Jimi Hendrix Experience in return for “significant monetary consideration”.Neither Redding nor Mitchell ever subsequently raised any issues with those agreements while they were still alive.But the Redding and Mitchell companies argue that the 1970s agreements didn’t actually see the two musicians assign any rights and only related to revenues generated by the recordings at that time, which obviously didn’t include any digital income.Anticipating that the Redding and Mitchell companies were prepping legal action in the UK, the Hendrix estate and Sony Music filed legal action in New York seeking court confirmation that the 1970s agreements were still in force.

served the noise abatement order in November 2021 from a new resident who had moved to the city during lockdown.Despite months of petitioning and fundraising for the venue and messages of support from acts local to or with strong connections to Manchester including Elbow’s Guy Garvey and The 1975’s Matty Healy, Night & Day remains in danger of closure due to a planning file for the redevelopment of a nearby building.Although a noise abatement order isn’t grounds to shut a venue down, it could be subject to seizure of sound equipment, fines and potential prosecution. These alone would be enough to shut down Night & Day for good.Now, the venue has returned to court to continue appealing the noise abatement order.
