• THE MOJO INTERVIEW
  With his cape and on-stage curry, he defined prog rock excess. Breakdowns, penury and near-death were the prices paid, but somehow the baroque synth lines and droll quips kept flowing… and still do. “I’m my own worst enemy,” laughs Rick Wakeman.

  Behind darking power of SIOUXISE AND THE BANSHEES lay fraught relationships between troubled people-not least the lovers at its core: iconic singer SIOUXSIE SIOUX and livewire drummer PETER EDWARD CLAKE, AKA BUDGIE. In a moving and extraordinary new memoir, extracted here, Budgie delves into the relationships's incendiary ups and downs, a rag doll dance encoded the moment he first set eyes on her. “I saw her body, her stature, as a statement.”

• Into The Void?
  The BALCK SABBATH story will end definitively on July 5, when the band conclude 57 years of sui generis heaviosity and tragi-comic conflict at an epochal mega-gig at Villa Park. Or will it? With less than a month to go, it's still unclear quite how these gallant yet frail septuagenarians make it to the stage… or off it. “We'll probably keel over after two songs!” they tell KEITH CAMERON. Portrait by KEVIN GOFF.

  ENGLISH TEACHER struck a chord with their sparkling, sardonic debut album – the shock winner of last year’s Mercury Prize.

  For 60 years, HERBIE HANCOCK has taken the bonnet off music, hacking its valves and gears, forging a future as yet unseen. He shaped jazz and funk synth-rock; Miles and Joni felt the benefit.

• ABC COMPILE THE LEXICON OF LOVE
  Evolving from Sheffield’s post-punk synth-raincoat milieu, ABC felt anointed by Chic to make the definitive early-’80s album of hyper-gloss smart pop. Produced by sonic visionary Trevor Horn, they soon won big hits and a visit from Bowie in ’82, but within barely a year the grandeur was over, marked by the mythic flushing of singer Martin Fry’s gold lamé suit down a Japanese toilet. Likening it to “Bob Dylan but in a disco,” members and collaborators recall The Lexicon Of Love’s creation. “Sit down, the show is about to start. You will be entertained!”
• NOW I FIND I'VE CHANGED MY MIND
  SIXTY YEARS AGO, THE BEATLES OPENED UP THE DOOR TO A BRAVE NEW WORLD, ANIMATED BY WEED AND ACID, THEY FOUND THE INTROSPECTIVE SONGS OF HELP!
