I have a IPhone X. Yesterday, all of a sudden, the widget for Apple Music began appearing on the lock screen. It takes up most of the lock screen so new notifications are pushed down and barely visible without scrolling. I cannot figure out how to remove the widget from the lock screen. Any help would be appreciated.

SOLVED - Yes, you are right. As soon as I "upgraded" to 11.2.6 the music widget was back. But I think though I have the answer now.
Go to settings>Face ID & Passcode - Go to "Allow Access when when locked" which is near the bottom and turn off 3 things - Today view, Control Centre and Reply with Message. It shows up if music is playing but disappears if the music is paused but only when it is paused when the phone is unlocked.
If this fails turn off Home Control as well.
Ok!! I have tried everything and at best, got only a
temporary fix. Rebooting the phone will work, but it comes back as soon as it’s connected to my car’s Bluetooth
Sooo.., here’s what I did. Go to both Bluetooth devices and start from scratch. In other words, forget both devices and re-pair.
So far this has worked. Will keep everyone posted ... fingers crossed!
It is very simple - It worked for me after months of frustrations
1 - At your home screen, click the gear icon to visit device settings.
2 - Then what you have to do is open the notifications tab.
3 - You have to find and click on Music and slide the notification toggle to disable it.
4 - MUST ----- Restart your iPhone after doing so and the music app lock screen problem should be fixed easily.
Found the above solution from the following site

The first step in this youtube video did the trick for me.

This worked for me. 🙂
settings>face ID & Passcode - allow when locked is near the bottom, turn off control center to see if that helps.
Unfortunately that did not work
I don't think you can get rid of it then. I hope someone with more experience with this can help you.
Interestingly, I found this video and used the first technique and it worked. But then after a week or so it came back! So I have now deployed technique #2...hopefully that is a permanent fix!
Once you do that power down your phone and turn back on
It Worked!!
It's easy. Go to Settings --> Notifications. Turn off the Music App's Notifications in Settings - problem solved.
Thanks but did not work. I followed your instructions and it was gone for about 2 hours, and then the Apple Music Widget was back on lock screen again.

If you're willing to turn off some other, very useful features.
I be interested to know what your solution is.
