Just in case the industry grapevine is wrong, hotpress.com is dispatching one of our top men, Edwin McFee, to Lord Henry’s gaff to report on the press conference and grab a few words with whoever he, she or they may turn out to be. Coverage from 1pm!

Meanwhile, don’t forget that the current Hot Press cover star is a certain Mr. L. Gallagher who’s got lots to say about their new album, Marilyn Manson, Kaiser Chiefs, Macca, Yoko, Jay-Z, Morrissey and, er, vacuum cleaners.
