Music/iTunes stuck artist, can’t delete

OK this is a weird one and it’s doing my head in. Firstly this is only a problem on my iPhone and iPad. My Mac & MacBook are fine. An artist appears in music on the iPhone and iPad with 1 album. I can’t view the tracks of the album, if I try and select it nothing happens, I can’t play it either. I have the option to delete from library, but if I select that it doesn’t. I have the option to download the album but that doesn’t work - I thought if I download and then try and delete it I’d be able to but no.


I’ve tried switching off sync library in settings and rebooting, which obviously removes it but when I turn synching back on it comes back. Anyone experienced something similar and got a fix?

TIA


iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 18
