In related musical news, Mancunian band Everything Everything has become the first band to stream a live gig to fans iPads, The NME reported.
Performing from London's Union Chapel and joined by a 13-piece orchestra, the band streamed the show live to Apple iPad and iPhone users in HD via an app called ‘Man Alive- Everything Everything: Live at Union Chapel'. An edit of the show is also expected to be uploaded.
Jonathan Higgs, a singer in the band told the music magazine: "We wanted to try something unique. The concert sold out and we wanted to do something special for fans who couldn't get tickets. We couldn't hijack a TV channel but now we can play live to people on the bus, or wherever they want to hear it."
