Well, that's one way to get a break. Some Beyoncé fans dropping a needle on their new vinyl copies of Lemonade were greeted instead with the punk stylings of Canadian band Zex.

"Due to human error at the Celebrate Records plant in Germany, which Sony uses to manufacture vinyl," said Columbia Records in a statement, "a small amount of the European run of the Beyoncé Lemonade vinyl included music from Canadian punk band, ZEX, on Side A. Beyoncé and ZEX were not aware of or responsible for the mispress."

"Yeah we are getting some copies," joked Zex on Facebook. "We were on the split after all hahahaha." (Spin)

"The one-night celebration of his life will take place October 27 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles," reports Pitchfork.

"My father left me with a list of instructions before he passed: 'Put me in a pine box next to my mother and father. Have a small memorial for close friends and family in Los Angeles...and if you want a public event, do it in Montreal,'" said Adam Cohen in a statement. "I see this concert as a fulfillment of my duties to my father that we gather in Montreal to ring the bells that still can ring." (Rolling Stone)
