Spotted in recent weeks stepping inside Rak music studios in St John's Wood near Regent's Park, 30-year-old Styles has been hard at work.
No source or insider just it is “expected” to be “emotional”. And a repeat of what they have been repeating (stunt, stalker) and him turning 30 - except this time no mention of him taking a break to settle down lol 😂

The Beatles at the memorial service for Brian Epstein held on 17 October 1967 at the New London Synagogue, St John's Wood.
[Brian Epstein’s] body was returned to his home in Liverpool, where his funeral took place, quietly and privately. The Beatles didn’t attend because the family didn’t want the attention their presence would attract. Instead, in October, we all went to his memorial service, at the New London Synagogue in St John’s Wood, not far from the EMI studio. It was a memorable, moving occasion, a tribute to a man we had loved and would never forget.
[—from John, Cynthia Lennon]
We all went to the funeral [actually the memorial service]. I remember the Beatles coming into the synagogue, their faces white and pinched still with shock. Out of respect for Brian, they were all wearing yarmulkes. They had all washed their hair for the occasion, and the little round caps kept slipping off, falling to the floor. Wendy Hanson [Brian’s former assistant], who was standing behind the Beatles, had to keep picking their yarmulkes up and fixing them back on to their mop-tops. Somehow, that made me feel so sad; sadder than anything.
[—from With a Little Help from My Friends: The Making of Sgt. Pepper, George Martin]

On October 20th 1938 photographer Iain MacMillan was born in Carnoustie.
After leaving Dundee high school in 1954, he worked as a trainee manager in a local jute mill, before studying photography at the Regent Street Polytechnic (now the University of Westminster). He returned home in 1959 to photograph Dundee tenements and street scenes - powerful images of a way of life about to disappear. His talent was soon recognised by magazines and publishers, and by the early 1960s he was getting commissions from the Lutterworth Press, the Sunday Times, Plays & Players and the Illustrated London News.
Later in the decade he took photographs for a book, The Sculpture of David Wynne, and for Wynne's exhibition catalogue, while also working on a photographic essay about life in the capital. The Book of London (1966) contains some of his best work, and brought him to the attention of Yoko Ono, who commissioned him to photograph her exhibition at the Indica gallery, in St James's. It was there that Yoko met John Lennon, who invited MacMillan to photograph the Abbey Road album cover.
MacMillan continued working with the couple on such projects as the Live Peace in Toronto album (1969) and Sometime in New York City (1972). He also collaborated on the film Erection, an animation of shots of a London hotel under construction with a soundtrack by John and Yoko.
By the mid-1970s, MacMillan was teaching photography in Stoke-on-Trent. As well as possessing a sense of composition and a lively imagination, he was a meticulous craftsman with a sound technical knowledge. He tried to instill these values into his students. In the 1980s his photographs were exhibited in galleries in Britain and the US, and on the continent. The BBC used his work in the series The Rock and Roll Years.
In the 1980s, after his parents died, MacMillan moved back to Carnoustie. He continued to take photographs of Scottish landscapes, his friends and families - and his beloved collie dog, Mac - often using a borrowed camera.
In 1993 Paul McCartney invited MacMillan to take another picture on the famous zebra crossing near the EMI studios in St John's Wood, this time of the Beatle and his Old English sheepdog. MacMillan contrasted the simplicity of the earlier picture by including a team of policemen, press photographers and a lively crowd. The resulting image was used on the cover of the album Paul is Live, thus scotching rumours that McCartney was dead.
MacMillan was modest about his own achievements. He retained a lasting affection for Paul and Linda McCartney, whom he described as "the most solidly down to earth and unaffected couple imaginable".
Iain MacMillan passed away on May 8th 2006 from lung cancer.

hope that means he is still working on it until later in the year and is not releasing something soon or building hype(i know the hype is there either way). I‘m still really in hopes, that he will release something that doesn‘t fall into this year‘s grammys

This isn't reliable information. No source, no photos.
If you want to believe it anyway, it means that HS4 was still being recorded recently, so it is nowhere close to release. It still takes 6-9 months from finish time for vinyls to be manufactured.

It’s Fine Press Black Friday!
Last Wednesday we presented a few understated wood engravings by the noted upper-Midwestern engraver and fine-press printer Gaylord Schanilec from a portfolio of literary broadsides documenting the 1998 Hungry Midnight reading series at The Hungry Mind bookstore in St. Paul, Minnesota. For this #Fine Press Friday after Thanksgiving, we present the broadside portfolio documenting the previous year’s Hungry Midnight series featuring the work of Sherman Alexie, John Dufresne, Paul Metcalf, Margaret Atwood, Charles Baxter, and Jonathan Lethem.
Entitled Context is Everything, after a prose piece by Lethem, the portfolio was printed by Schanilec, with his original wood engravings, in an edition of 20 copies (with variously editioned broadsides) at his Stockholm, Wisconsin farmstead studio Midnight Paper Sales in 1997, with each broadside signed by its respective author. 
View other posts on the work of Gaylord Schanilec.

Hunter Davies bio - chapter 30 the Beatles and their music
"At two o'clock in the afternoon John arrived at Paul's house in St John's Wood. They both went up to Paul's work room at the top of the house. It is a narrow, rectangular room, full of stereophonic equipment and amplifiers. There is a large triptych of Jane Asher on the wall and a large silver piece of sculpture by Paolozzi, shaped like a fireplace with Dalek heads on top."
DALEK. HEADS.
"Paul then went back to his guitar and started to sing and play a very slow, beautiful song about a foolish man sitting on the hill. John listened to it quietly, staring blankly out of the window, almost as if he wasn't listening. Paul sang it many times, la-la-ing words he hadn't thought of yet. When at last he finished, John said he'd better write the words down or he'd forget them. Paul said it was OK. He wouldn't forget them. It was the first time Paul had played it for John. There was no discussion."
Every time I read something about this period it feels like a dream. Who are they? What's going on?
Ok here's how Hunter starts the accidental LSD story:
"They ran through the song about four times and John said he didn't feel well. He could do with some fresh air. Someone went to open the back door of the studio. There was the sound of loud banging and cheering on the other side. The door began to move slightly inwards, under the strain of a gang of fans who'd somehow managed to get inside the building.
"George Martin came down from his box and told John he would be better to go up on the roof and get some air, rather than go outside. 'How's John?' Paul asked into the microphone to George Martin up in the control box. 'He's looking at the stars,' said George Martin.
"'You mean Vince Hill?' said Paul. He and George started singing 'Edelweiss' and laughing. Then John came back."
Well ok. That's different!
And now for something completely different:
"As they went in, one girl very shyly gave George a button badge which said 'George for PM'.
"'Why would Paul McCartney want you?' said John to George.
"Paul played the opening bars of 'Magical Mystery Tour' on the piano, showing the others how it would go. He gestured a lot with his hands and shouted 'Flash, Flash,' saying it would be like a commercial."
WHY WOULD PAUL MCCARTNEY WANT YOU, GEORGE?
Ok this part hurts me personally:
"Paul often appears to be the leader in all this. This is mainly because someone has to say it's not good enough, let's do it once again. They all know it. But someone has to voice the instructions. Paul does it best, as he's still the keeny."
I do think this is how Paul operates:
"Although Paul still obviously had many gaps to fill in the songs, in singing them to others he was not looking for suggestions, the way John might do, or even to show off. He was just sharing the enjoyment he was having in beginning some new songs, before he'd finished and forgotten them for ever."
He just has to share.
