Ed Sheeran worried his wife would think Perfect was "cheesy" when he wrote the song about her just two months into their relationship. The 32-year-old singer wrote his huge 2017 single about Cherry Seaborn - whom he married in 2019 and has two daughters with - and he admitted he felt "uncomfortable" putting so much of himself into the song, but believes that's why people "connected" with the track. He told America's GQ Hype magazine, 'I think that any song that people connect with has to feel uncomfortable while you're writing it.

Jock Zonfrillo's wife has shared an emotional update as the family marks a milestone: his youngest daughter's first birthday without her father. Fans were left shocked when the late MasterChef judge passed away unexpectedly earlier this year. The chef was found dead in a Melbourne hotel room on May 1 after police were called with a request to perform a 'welfare check'. The Zonfrillo family had just immigrated from Melbourne overseas shortly prior to his passing. He is survived by his wife Lauren Fried, and four children, Alfie, Isla, Ava and Sophie.

The 35-year-old royal and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi both have dyslexia and though they don't yet know if daughter Sienna, two, or Edoardo's older son, seven-year-old Christopher, aka Wolfie - who he has with Dara Huang - also have the learning disorder, they are thankful they will be able to give them the best support and guidance possible. Speaking on the 'Lessons in Dyslexic Thinking' podcast, Beatrice told host Kate Griggs, "As two dyslexics, we will be figuring out as parents whether or not our children have dyslexia and how best to support them.

Will Fleetwood Mac ever reunite following Christine McVie's death? Probably not. During an interview with Vulture , Stevie Nicks explained why the band couldn't "go any further" after going on a 50th anniversary tour in 2018 and 2019 with Neil Finn and Mike Campbell replacing Lindsey Buckingham. 'When Christine died, I felt like you can't replace her,' Nicks said. 'Without her, what is it? You know what I mean? She was like my soul mate, my musical soul mate, and my best friend that I spent more time with than any of my other best friends outside of Fleetwood Mac.

Monday, 2 October 2023, 3:25PM It's one of the greatest love songs ever written, and possibly one of Sir Elton John's best songs, so Lady Gaga had big shoes to fill back in 2019 when she took on a cover of Elton John's ‘ Your Song ' for his star-studded tribute album Revamp: Reimagining the Songs of Elton John and Bernie Taupin . Her stunning rendition is everything you'd dream of, and her live performance of it at   Elton John: I'm Still Standing — A Grammy Salute back in 2019 is making the rounds again on social media - and for a good reason! For her take on the song, Gaga chose not to reinvent or overhaul the 1970 ballad, instead, she let her vocals shine as she belted out the Piano Man's classic song.

The teaser trailer for Robbie Williams' four-part documentary series on Netflix has just been released. The streaming service dropped the trailer overnight for the series, including thirty years of unseen footage from his amazing music career.  Robbie can be seen tearing up while preparing to go on stage in the opening clip and the cameraman can be heard asking, "You all ready, Rob?" Robbie, who is texting in the clip, looks down the lens and shakes his head, saying, "Nah, I really wish I did something else for a living," before rubbing his eyes.

The Boss is taking an unexpected breather and postponing the remainder of his 2023 shows, citing doctors' orders. Bruce Springsteen announced on his website earlier this month that he was postponing shows for the remainder of September while he was treated for symptoms of 'peptic ulcer disease.' The disease causes ulcers to form in the stomach or small intestine that can cause heartburn, nausea and stomach pain. Bruce and his band will reveal the new, postponed dates in the upcoming weeks. 'When the new 2024 dates are announced, those unable to attend on the new date who purchased their tickets through official ticketing companies have 30 days to request a refund,' a statement from the band reads.
