The Rolling Stones frontman has been off busy lending his support to the Better Together campaign against Scottish independence and has yet to give his reaction to this new, strange tribute.

The species has been fully christened ‘Jaggermeryx naida’, which literally means ‘Jagger’s water nymph’. After recently discovering further evidence for the species in Egypt, the species was named by associate professor at Wake University, Ellen Miller, who co-authored the paper announcing the discovery in the Journal of Paleontology and was keen to admit that she is “a huge Stones fan,” when speaking to The Guardian.

A spokesperson for Sussex police told The Guardian “Police were called to a report of a man who was found dead in a flat in Hove at 3.30pm on Tuesday 9th September. He has been identified as Robert Young, 49, of Hove. His death is not being treated as suspicious.”

Young (pictured, left) had left Primal Scream in 2006. Originally the band’s bassist, switched to guitar after the release of the first album in time to pick up the Mercury Prize with the band for ‘Screamadelica’.

Twitter has seen an outpouring of love for Young by his contemporaries, including Liam Gallagher, Irvine Welsh and Tim Burgess. Former Primal Scream bandmate, and current Stone Roses member, Mani confirmed the news in a message on Primal Scream’s forum which stated “Robert young, AKA the throb, passed away this weekend in hove. Truly devastating news.”

By tweeting an image of a plug socket, along with the words “Sure missed you…now, let’s do 3 club gigs this week…”,  Foo Fighters sparked a frenzy amongst their UK fans – leaving them guessing with regards to where and when the shows would be.

Fans in Brighton and the surrounding area will have been further encouraged by a following tweet, release by the band a few hours after their original hint.

While we’ll all be left guessing the whereabouts of these 3 performances, any fans that are able to make it to any of the three shows will surely be in for a once in a lifetime experience.

Fans will be able to catch Townsend live at the Royal Albert Hall on 13th April 2015 and they can expect to hear his new album on 27th October. Townsend describes the album as “a multimedia event that has taken a ton of people a ton of effort to bring to you!” and explains that “the concept expands on Ziltoid the alien, and his sci-fi adventures in a way that kind of throws back to 50’s radio plays”.

With the referendum for Scottish Independence coming ever closer, there are several artists keen to show their support for the ‘Yes’ campaign. Taking place at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall, the event is also due to feature Scottish singer-songwriter Eddi Reader, a collaboration between Deacon Blue’s Lorraine McIntosh and Ricky Ross under the guise of McIntosh-Ross, and comedienne Elaine C Smith.

The events’ promoter Tommy Sheppard told The Scotsman, “The Yes campaign has unleashed tremendous creative energy and now a small segment of Scotland’s artistic and creative community are getting together to prepare to move up another gear in the final days before the people of Scotland make the most important decision of their lives.”

Tickets for the event are available from today (1st September) and will cost £15, click here to get yours.

Brother of frontman Ray, Dave Davies has not had the best relationship with his fraternal bandmate and the band used their official Facebook account today to deny Mojo’s claim that the band were preparing to reunite next year with or without Dave.

The quote came from an interview with Ray Davies in which he is quoted to have said “Dave’s invited to the party, but if he doesn’t want to do it, [the reunion] will happen anyway. He’s very welcome to turn up if he wants. I’d much rather work with him than without him.” The official Kinks Facebook page claims that “There will be NO Kinks reunion without BOTH Ray and Dave Davies. Ray Davies claims to have never said this.”

What exactly was said, and indeed what is planned, will remain unknown for the time being. Whilst fans will be hoping for the band to get back together next year, it looks increasingly unlikely that they will be appearing in any form other than one including Dave Davies.

Celebrating their Yorkshire roots, the band wrapped up the UK leg of their extensive tour with a performance to please fans that had chosen to spend their Bank Holiday weekend at the festival. With a bumper bundle of hits spanning their entire musical career, the band mixed an array of hits from their recent album with tracks from their first album including ‘Dancing Shoes‘ and ‘Mardy Bum’.

This performance brought a long, impressive tour to a close and frontman Alex Turner expressed his adoration for the crowd before the band closed the main portion of their set with ‘505‘, claiming “We’ll leave you with a love song because we love you. Thank you for having us”.

This homecoming performance seems a fitting end to the band’s home portion of the tour before they head across the Atlantic and venture into Americas both North and South. With a four song encore, the band left the UK stage for what looks to be the final stage this year to rapturous applause, leaving crowds awaiting the announcement of further UK tour dates.

Powell also revealed that one planned practice session in Hamburg was disrupted after Pete Doherty drove the band away from their rehearsal space in the camper van he currently lives in. The band also performed two warm-up gigs in Glasgow without rehearsing prior to the shows according to a new interview in Mojo magazine.

The band were planning to rehearse on the morning of the Hyde Park gig but Carl Barat flew from Paris to London the day before the gig after, “realising it was probably what the occasion demanded”. Speaking after the Hyde Park show, he said, “I’m not sure if it was a triumph but it was certainly unpredictable, as most things with this always band are.”

The Libertines’ next UK dates come in September when the band will play three gigs at Alexandra Palace. Support across the trio of shows will come from Peace, Swim Deep and Circa Waves. They will then play a run of European gigs.

The Libertines will play:

26th-28th September – London Alexandra Palace
30th September – Paris Zenith
2nd October – Amsterdam Heineken Music Hall
3rd October – Brussels FN Club
4th October – Berlin Columbiahalle
5th October – Dusseldorf Mitsubishi Electric Halle
