The release of update 4.2 for the PS3's karaoke smash saw the introduction of a raft of new and perplexing bugs not previously spied in the game.

While are aware of the new-found issues, they don't quite have a timing on a fix, although we do hear that new Paul McCartney content could be on the way for the game regardless.

"As soon as we were aware of these issues, the senior SingStar team came together and have been working flat out to fix these with the aim of getting a patch out as soon as possible," SingStar director Dave Ranyard tells the PlayStation blog.

"Due to the severity of these bugs there was a very real possibility of a 'quick fix' actually making these problems worse and that is why we have opted instead for a very thorough development and QA test process to ensure that the problems that you are experiencing are resolved."

More on this as we get it.
