Just a few days after wrapping up the North American leg of his solo arena tour, Ed Sheeran hit Las Vegas on Saturday night for the iHeartRadio Music Festival with a short set featuring a special guest. As Billboard reports, halfway through Sheeran's five-song set, Macklemore joined the British singer-songwriter onstage for a performance of Macklemore's own hit, "Same Love." Sheeran backed up Macklemore on guitar and took on the vocal hook originally recorded by Mary Lambert on the gay-rights anthem, while the rapper delivered a passionate rendition of his verses from the Heist track. Sheeran's X tour takes him back to the U.K. next, with a stop at London's iTunes Festival on September 29th. As for Macklemore, it was his second surprise appearance of the day. Earlier, he joined Fences during their set to perform "Arrow."

Childish Gambino recently joined Ariana Grande on-stage at iHeartRadio Music Festival to perform "Break Your Heart Right Back" and afterward, he recalled making it. Recently speaking with Billboard, Gambino explained that once the songstress sent him the track he knew it would become something big. “The song was sent to us and we immediately were like, ‘This is a hit,’” he said when asked about the collaboration. “She just sounds so good on it and it’s a great song.” Gambino also says Ariana Grande appreciated his voice and has a good knowledge base about music. “She came in when I was recording and was like, ‘That’s great. I love the tone of your voice,’” he said. “She knows her stuff about music and rap.” Finally, Childish Gambino talked about his upcoming STN MTN / KAUAI mixtape and explains why he thinks it's revolutionary. “I feel like it’s the first concept mixtape ever,” Gambino said. “It’s a mixtape that goes into the EP but they’re connected. It’s the same character and the same story from Because the Internet and Camp. It’s kind of like a nice in between for the next album.”

La Roux’s Elly Jackson claims she has “never made any money from” selling music. Instead of seeing the proceeds from album sales, she says she earns all her profits from radio and music video play. “I spent two years on Trouble in Paradise and I most likely won’t make any money out of it,” Jackson recently told Digital Spy. “The only money I will make is from radio play. All the money I’ve had up until now is from radio. I think people find this really, really, really hard to believe. It’s not a lie, it’s just the way it is.” Despite these claims, elsewhere in the interview, she mentions that she “bought [a] house from” the video to 2009’s Bulletproof. But she maintains that she has “never made any money from record sales”, despite selling “nearly eight million records, if you count all the singles”. “There’s something not right about that,” the singer said. “We spent a lot of money on this record, kind of knowing we wouldn’t make it back personally,” she went on. “The label will make it back.” Given that Trouble in Paradise has received relatively little radio play, Jackson is hoping to improve her financial prospects by refining her live show and booking bigger stages. “We don’t break even,” she said. “Until you start getting to much larger venues, if you’ve got a five-piece band like I have, you find it very difficult to break even.” La Roux’s self-titled debut, from 2009, debuted at No 2 on the UK album chart and sold more than 60,000 copies in its first week. By contrast, Trouble in Paradise sold less than 9,000, landing at No 6. It was made without Jackson’s prior collaborator, Ben Langmaid, who co-wrote almost all of La Roux’s first songs. Langmaid has blamed Trouble in Paradise co-producer Ian Sherwin for the schism, calling him an “idiot” and a “poacher”. “[Ian] couldn’t write a nursery rhyme,” Landmaid tweeted.
