Welcome to the Daily Gossip: your daily stop-off to find out who in the world of music has been up to what.

Today’s top gossip:

The Enemy's Tom Clarke says he finds it annoying when people label him the voice of a generation. "We don't have the answer, we're just highlighting the problems," he explained, adding that the tag was "bollocks".
