Seldom dull, 2013 was filled with fun surprises, big comebacks and stories that shocked our socks off. And no matter how your year turned out, it's safe to say the last 12 months have been interesting. And now that 2014 is right around the bend, we here at Diffuser thought it would fun to throw down some predictions for the coming year. Since rock stars are notoriously eccentric and ridiculous, some of these prognostications are pretty crazy, but none are completely impossible. Who will leave the industry? Who'll make a comeback in 2014? Who'll decide to break up? Who'll come back together and put out their 25th album? Read our 10 predictions for 2014 to get a taste of what you may be talking about in the new year.

    Noel Gallagher Offends Lorde, Says She's Done After 'Royals'

    Noel Gallagher doesn't hold back when it comes to criticizing young pop stars, so Lorde is fair game. At some point in 2014, he'll go on record as saying the New Zealand singer's days are numbered, and that she won't have a hit after 'Royals.' He'll also remind us Liam is a twit, just because.

    Guided by Voices Release Even More Albums
