From Lady Gaga’s masterpiece in theatrical pop to Missy Elliott dressed as a car, Nick is joined by Scissor Sister’s singer and West End star Jake Shears to discuss the highs and lows of Coachella as the desert dust settles on weekend one. Elsewhere, Elton John’s had a busy couple of weeks making up with Madonna and securing his tenth number one album – but what’s he really like to work with? Plus, Lorde has returned just in time for Easter, why Bon Iver should be added to your sex playlist and the story of how an access all areas pass to a Lady Gaga concert got Jake over an international border.
