Another week, another battering of sensational headlines from the world of music. If it's all a bit too much to take in, we've once again condensed the news and asked Batman LDN to put his own unqiuely twisted spin by re-imagining the biggest stories as cartoons.
Huey Morgan caused a storm with a tea cup when they lost his shit and destroyed a mug on Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Lady Gaga caused a stir when she admitted that she 'takes a dip in the lady pond', Rihanna and Miley Cyrus fueled outrage when it was revealed that they'd ruined a generation and Lorde just have us another reason to think she's awesome when she slammed David Guetta.
So without further ado, here are the week's biggest music news stories as seen through the eyes of Batman LDN. (See more of his work here, and follow him on Twitter here).

Lorde asked to work with David Guetta, her response: 'Fuck no - he's gross'
Lorde's manager Scott Maclachlan received short shrift recently when he floated the idea of a collaboration with uber-huge hitmaker David Guetta - with the 'Royals' star calling him 'gross'. During an interview with Australian website FasterLouder, Maclachlan said he pulled the 16-year-old star to one side to inform her of the offer to work with the 'Titanium' house DJ. The suggestion didn't go down too well. The only words he received in return were "No. Fuck No. He's so gross"
