A round-up of the other music stories in brief

Vini vidi vici:Durutti Column guitarist Vini Reilly has suffered a minor stroke, but is on the way to recovery. The 57-year-old has even booked studio time for the band's new album.

Stir it up:The family of Bob Marley have lost a lawsuit that staked their claim on five of the reggae icon's albums. The New York court ruled in favour of UMG Recordings, who maintain copyright ownership of the tracks.

Reinventing the wheel:The Dead Weather will release their new single on Triple Decker, a new vinyl format designed by the band's Jack White – essentially a seven-inch that slots into a 12-inch record.
