Tuesday 1st July, I had 2 guitars stolen from my car in North London. "These are two vintage instruments of great sentimental value. "If you see them or hear of them anywhere, please message me or email info@ as I'd really love to get them back. "Please ask any guitar players/collectors you know, or local or online stores. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks x." He then shared pictures of both instruments in the hope it will lead to their return. Bay, who lives in North London, is best known for his breakout hit Hold Back The River. He's won two Brit Awards, an Ivor Novello and been nominated for three Grammys. His latest album, last year's Changes All The Time, featured collaborations with big names like Noah Kahan, The Lumineers and The Killers' Brandon Flowers. The latter came to be through a mutual friend, and Bay found himself hanging out at a ski lodge in Utah that the band had turned into a studio. He told us: "It had this double height hallway where they put drums in that sort of Led Zeppelin way — it's wonderful. It was very informal and we'd go for breakfast in the morning and Brandon would drive us there. James Bay is joined by The Killers' Brandon Flowers on single Easy Distraction 'When I first played the track, some people would say, 'I can hear a bit of Killers in it' meaning they hear Brandon's writing input. 'But as much as I wanted it to sound 'Killersy', because I'm a fan, I'm proud to say that the germ of the idea that started that song is the verse and melody that I took in. That was my homework. I took it in, and I said, 'What do you think of this?' 'And Brandon had a listen and went, 'Oh, yeah, let's give that a go. Let's see if we can put some lyrics to it.' And he jumps up on a microphone and gets his phone out and jotted down all his lyric ideas. It was very prolific and unbelievable.' Meanwhile, Kahan, who shares the same A&R person as Bay, hasn't forgotten days spent supporting the Let It Go star earlier in his career. Now a huge arena and stadium filling artist, he invited Bay out on his Stick Season tour last year including a date at Fenway Park (Boston's baseball stadium). 5 He shared a picture of his vintage acoustic Credit: Instagram 5 He's trying to track down this 1969 Epiphone model Credit: Instagram

Bruce Springsteen's New Collaborative Project Will Be Released This Month
Bruce Springsteen is getting involved in Record Store Day 2025, and he's not doing so alone. This time, the legendary rocker is teaming up with The Killers for a brand new — and very limited — EP, one that captures a one-of-a-kind moment that many longtime lovers of both bands already know well, even if they weren't there to experience it in person. Encore at the Garden will be released as a 12-inch vinyl, and it's being billed as a Record Store Day exclusive. Only 5,000 copies are being pressed of the EP, so fans will need to move fast to get their hands on a copy of the title. The short, three-song project is centered around Springsteen's surprise appearance during The Killers' show at Madison Square Garden back on October 1, 2022. Those who were in the audience that night surely remember the amazing performance, and thankfully for those who were not at the New York City concert, it's been preserved, and will now be available as an album for the very first time. Side A of the vinyl is set to feature two cuts: 'Badlands,' a staple of Springsteen's catalog that continues to get crowds on their feet decades after its release, and 'Dustland,' a special reworking of The Killers' own 'A Dustland Fairytale' that originally featured Springsteen on the studio version. Side B includes just one track, but it's a special one. 'Born to Run,' perhaps Sprinsteen's most familiar tune, closes the effort. The joint performance itself was a highlight of The Killers' Imploding the Mirage Tour. Springsteen wasn't just the only guest star, as he brought longtime E Street Band collaborator Jake Clemons with him. Record Store Day is a music industry initiative meant to bring people back into independent shops, as well as to celebrate music in its physical form, and this release fits the mission perfectly. Many well-known artists take part, dropping special projects – such as this EP – or offering collectible versions of popular projects on vinyl. The idea is that these projects are only available in brick-and-mortar locations throughout the world, so fans can't jut head to an artist's website or Amazon to buy what they want, they need to go out and support their local record store. Record Store Day 2025 is set to take place on April 12, 2025.
