Michael Schumacher’s son gives rare interview about his father

Michael Schumacher's son has shared a rare insight into his life after his dad's devastating skiing accident. Mick Schumacher, who was only 14 at the time of his dad’s accident, pursued his dream of reaching F1 without his father's guidance, and has spoken about how much his dad father continued to inspire him. In the new book Inside Mercedes F1 written by Matt Whyman, the author had unrestricted access to the team, with the book including a conversation with Mick about his father’s influence. The 25-year-old, who became a reserve driver for Mercedes in 2023, told Whyman, “I was a crazy kid — everything my dad did, I did." “He was really supportive and a lot of fun, but could also be challenging. One time in a karting race I braked very late going into a corner and gained a lot of time." “When I told him about it, he said, ‘Yes, but you should have braked like that in every corner!’." “Whenever he felt like I was not taking it seriously, he would say, ‘Mick, would you rather go and play football with your friends? If so, we do not need to do all of this’." “I insisted that I wanted to race and he said, ‘Okay, then let’s do it properly’. So we started doing more European karting and I was getting better.” Mick later explained that he learned “a lot of technical points” from his dad that he “still uses today”, adding, “I started racing in the Formula classes the year after the accident and from that point onwards, I had to find my own feet." “I started karting aged three. I was six when I first went scuba diving. Aged 10 I was skydiving." “My dad was always very open to me trying out whatever I wanted to do and racing is all I wanted to do, because I enjoyed it the most.” Image credits: Eric Alonso/DPPI/Shutterstock Editorial

"I just got shot": Trump gives first interview after assassination attempt

In his first interview since a <a href="https://www.oversixty.co.nz/finance/legal/attempted-assassination-of-trump-the-long-history-of-violence-against-u-s-presidents" target="_blank" rel="noopener">failed assassination attempt</a> at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, Donald Trump provided new insights into his harrowing experience and "miraculous" survival. The incident occurred on Saturday afternoon when 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks fired upon the former president during his speech. Speaking aboard his private jet to a <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/07/14/us-news/grateful-defiant-trump-recounts-surreal-assassination-attempt-at-rally-im-supposed-to-be-dead/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post journalist</a>, Trump described the weekend’s events as a “very surreal experience". “The doctor at the hospital said he never saw anything like this, he called it a miracle,” Trump, wearing a white bandage over his right ear, told the Post. “I’m not supposed to be here, I’m supposed to be dead.” Trump recounted that his survival was due to a slight turn of his head to the right to read a chart on illegal immigrants. At that precise moment, what could have been a fatal shot tore off a small piece of his ear, splattering blood on his forehead and cheek. As Secret Service agents quickly led him off stage, Trump expressed his desire to continue speaking to his supporters. However, agents insisted it wasn’t safe and rushed him to a hospital. He marvelled at how the agents reacted, comparing them to "linebackers" as they shielded him. Unbuttoning his long-sleeve white shirt, Trump revealed a large bruise on his right forearm, evidence of the forceful protection provided by the agents. Trump had previously posted on his social media account, Truth Social, to thank the Secret Service and law enforcement. “The agents hit me so hard that my shoes fell off, and my shoes are tight,” he said. Microphones at the podium captured the urgent commands from security telling Trump to “get down, get down” before he was helped back up. In the commotion, Trump was heard saying, “let me get my shoes,” before being escorted to a waiting car. In a powerful photograph that has since circulated widely, Trump, after being shot, stood and raised his fist, shouting “fight” three times to the crowd as Secret Service agents tried to move him offstage. “A lot of people say it’s the most iconic photo they’ve ever seen,” Trump said of the image. “They’re right and I didn’t die. Usually, you have to die to have an iconic picture. I just wanted to keep speaking, but I just got shot.” The rally saw two people killed, including the shooter, and two others injured. Reflecting on his survival, Trump told reporters that “by luck or by God” he was still here. Images: Xinhua News Agency/Shutterstock Editorial

“Grief eats you away”: Prince Harry's candid interview about losing his mother

Prince Harry has spoken candidly about his ongoing struggles with grief following the death of his mother, the late Princess Diana, when he was just 12 years old. Upon his brief return to the UK, the Duke of Sussex opened up in a new interview as part of his role as global ambassador for Armed Forces charity Scotty’s Little Soldiers, who work to support children who have lost parents in the military, admitting that “grief eats you away”. Harry detailed how difficult it was losing his mother at such a young age, admitting he spent nearly two decades “not thinking” about her death and was forced to eventually get help after years of “total chaos”. He added that learning how to celebrate a late loved one is difficult for a child, as it made them “sad”. “But realising if I do talk about it, and I’m celebrating their life, then things become easier,” he said. Harry went on, “You convince yourself that the person you’ve lost wants you, or you need to be sad for as long as possible to prove to them that they are missed … Especially when every defence mechanism in your mind, nervous system and everything else is saying ‘do not go there.” <iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YY-W6VEXlZM?si=SBQyGGCKAOhELxlv" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> "But then there’s this realisation of, no, they must want me to be happy”. The 39-year-old royal shared how, after decades of silent mourning, he learned suppressing grief was “in fact not” the best form of coping with loss. “It can be for a period of time,” he went on to say. “But…if you suppress this for too long, you can’t suppress it forever it’s not sustainable and it will east away at you inside." “Once realising that if I do talk about it and I’m celebrating their life then actually things become easier.” Image credits: YouTube

Dr Michael Mosley's heartbreaking final interview

One of Dr Michael Mosley's heartbreaking last interviews has resurfaced, as he discussed his wishes to grow old just weeks before his untimely death. The body of the 67-year-old health expert and TV personality was found in Greece four days after he was reported missing, with his wife sharing the news of his death on Sunday. Mosley had vanished after embarking on a walk while on holiday on the island of Symi, and after taking a wrong turn, succumbed to the challenging hike in extreme temperatures, with his <a href="https://oversixty.com.au/health/caring/michael-mosley-s-cause-of-death-revealed-in-autopsy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">autopsy</a> declaring he died of natural causes. Now, a conversation that the father-of-four had with The Telegraph on April 30th has resurfaced, in which Mosley talked about how eager he was to live a long and healthy life after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes aged 55, having lost his father Bill from complications related to diabetes at 74. “I had seen what happened to my father,” Mosley told the UK publication. “He hadn’t seen his grandkids grow up. I thought, that’s not a road I want to go down.” Elsewhere in the interview, Dr Mosley, who has three adult sons and an adult daughter, was optimistic about his future, saying he had no intentions of slowing down. “I’m 67 and a lot of my mates are now retired,” he said. “Neither I nor Clare have any intention of giving up work. Why would you give up? Now in my mid-to-late 60s, I am quite happy to go on writing and giving public speeches and making telly and podcasts.” Dr Mosley was a respected and beloved figure in the medical and television community. Known for his insightful health advice and engaging personality, he had a significant impact on many lives. His adventurous spirit and dedication to promoting health and well-being will be remembered fondly by all who knew him. Image credits: Ken McKay/ITV/Shutterstock Editorial

"Unbearable": Priscilla Presley breaks down mid-interview

Priscilla Presley broke down mid-interview as she opened up about her grief, following the loss of her daughter <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/news/news/lisa-marie-presley-dies-at-age-54" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lisa Marie Presley</a>. In an interview with Piers Morgan: Uncensored, the star opened up about the pain from the loss of her loved ones, and how "it's like a large part of your life is taken away." "It was unbearable. I lost my mother, I lost my grandson, and I lost my daughter. It's still shocking that we don't have her," she told the host. She revealed that Lisa Marie was also struggling with the loss of her son Ben Keough, who took his own life in 2020 at the age of 27. "Losing Ben was the hardest thing for her," Priscilla explained. "He took his own life, and he was the love of her life, that child, she adored him. She would do anything for him, anything." She revealed that Lisa Marie herself had somewhat become suicidal just months before her passing, as she struggled to accept her son's death. "We were in Memphis, sitting up in the suite, and she said, 'Mum, I don't know if I want to be here,' and I go, 'What are you talking about?' 'You know, my Ben,' and she would go on about Ben and how she is still grieving,'" she said. "And this was a couple of months before." After revealing this information, Priscilla burst into tears and said "don't talk anymore about it" before requesting for a break. Priscilla did the interview in anticipation of the release of Sofia Coppola's biopic about her life, Priscilla, which is set to release on November 3, 2023. Images: TalkTV

"This is terrible": Woman halts TV interview until her name is pronounced correctly

Former editor and commentator Dawn Neesom was put on blast by Shola Mos-Shogbamimu for mispronouncing her name on TV. The exchange happened on Channel 5’s Jeremy Vine show where Ms Neesom was presenting as a host. Dr Shola appeared on the panel to talk about stories and current issues. When the introductions began, there was an error which was quickly highlighted. Dawn said, “I am absolutely thrilled to be joined by lawyer Dr Shola” but then struggled to pronounce her surname and asked her, “How do I pronounce your name Shola?” The lawyer replied, “'Read it my darling, read it.” Dawn made another attempt but appeared to have mispronounced it again. Dr Shola, appearing amused, said, “This is terrible, especially from a presenter.” Dawn was then instructed by her to pronounce it phonetically, saying “Shola Mos Shog Bam Imu.” Dr Shola responded, “Do it again.” Dawn went on to say “Oh come on, I got the Shola right” but Dr Shola said, "Do it again and do it phonetically.” When she again mispronounced it, Dr Shola said “You just missed the B try again” Dawn, proceeded to put her hand on her face said, “'Shola, Shola welcome to the show!” Dr Shola then told her, “No you will say my name and read it phonetically,” Dawn attempted to say her name again, this time nearly correct and Dr Shola said, “It's Shogbamimu but well done.” The exchange was posted online and both parties tweeted about it. Dawn explained, “The most fun with the best panel this morning. That's what three hours sleep does for you.” <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> The most fun with the best panel this morning <a href="https://twitter.com/JeremyVineOn5?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JeremyVineOn5</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Extra?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Extra</a> 😂 That's what three hours sleep does for you🤪 Thanks to <a href="https://twitter.com/thecarolemalone?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@thecarolemalone</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/SholaMos1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SholaMos1</a> for being such great sports & to all the excellent callers today 🙏 Back from more fun & games live tomorrow 9.15 sharp.

The lawyer, who recently wrote an anti-racism book called This Is Why I Resist, spoke about Meghan Markle’s decision to not attend the coronation. Speaking to GMD, she said, “I think Meghan's decision to say no to the most powerful family in Britain and to say no to the most talked about party in town is both admirable and inspiring. “What Meghan is doing is exercising the power of no that comes from a place of self-worth, growth, maturity and self preservation.” When asked if it was because Meghan “didn’t feel welcome” in the UK, she responded “I don't think that's the case here. "I think that any wife out there that has bad in-laws like Meghan has with the Royal Family can deduce that she has drawn a line in the sand. She is saying I will attend royal events, but on my own terms. “But what is more powerful is that Meghan is telling the whole world that I am rejecting any notion that because I married into the Royal Family I should be bait for toxicity, rage and abuse. “She is saying to society as a whole: you don't get to tell me who I should be as a woman, as a mother and as a wife."

Schumacher’s family suing German magazine over fake interview

Michael Schumacher’s family is preparing to take legal action against German tabloid magazine Die Aktuelle, for publishing an AI-generated “interview” with the star. The publication has been slammed for using Michael’s face on their April 15 front cover, promoting the piece as “the first interview” since the star’s skiing accident in December 2013. “No meagre, nebulous half-sentences from friends. But answers from him! By Michael Schumacher, 54!” read the text in the magazine. “It sounded deceptively real,” they added in the strapline, which was the only indicator that the piece was fake. The “interview” included quotes that insensitively described Schumacher’s recovery, following the accident where he suffered a serious brain injury. “I was so badly injured that I lay for months in a kind of artificial coma, because otherwise my body couldn’t have dealt with it all,” the quote read. “I’ve had a tough time but the hospital team has managed to bring me back to my family,” they added. It was only at the end of the article that the publication revealed that they used Character.ai, an AI chatbot, to create the interview. A spokesperson for Schumachers confirmed their intention to take legal action against Die Aktuelle to Reuters and ESPN. This isn’t the first time Schumacher’s family have taken action against Die Aktuelle. In 2015, Michael’s wife, Corinna Schumacher filed a lawsuit against the magazine after they used Corinna’s picture with the headline: “Corinna Schumacher – a new love makes her happy.” The story was actually about their daughter, Gina, but the lawsuit was dismissed.

Marvel star gives chilling first interview

Jeremy Renner has given his first interview since his tragic near-death snow plough accident on New Year’s Day 2023 which left him with 30 broken bones. A trailer has been released for his exclusive interview with Diane Sawyer for ABC America’s 20/20. The hourlong special, Jeremy Renner: The Diane Sawyer Interview — A Story of Terror, Survival and Triumph, will feature the Marvel star’s nephew, whose life was saved by the actor before he was pulled under a 6.35-tonne snowplough. "Yeah, I'd do it again, cause it was going right at my nephew,” Renner told Diane. The one-on-one will feature the distressing emergency service calls from Renner accompanied by a voiceover saying, "this is the sound of someone that was dying”. His nephew, describing a pool of blood around the actor’s neck, told Sawyer, "I ran up to him and I didn't think he was alive”. Renner recalled the pain that the machinery caused him. "Oh, all of it, yeah, I was awake through every moment," he said. The Avengers hero appeared to be flooded with emotion as he reflected on the moment in hospital where he signed “I’m sorry” to members of his family as he desperately fought for his life. Renner is recovering at home after an 18-day hospital stay and the trailer for the interview saw him in a wheelchair. The Hawkeye star has kept fans up to date on his recovery through social media and told Sawyer he hopes to get back into the action scenes soon. "I've lost a lot of flesh and bone in this experience but I've been refuelled and refilled with love and titanium."

Camilla "astounded" by Prince Harry's latest attack

Camilla has reportedly been left reeling after Prince Harry's latest attack on the royal family in two high profile interviews. The Duke of Sussex's latest onslaught of allegations include that his stepmother leaked stories to the British tabloids in an attempt to rehabilitate her image after her marriage to King Charles, following a highly publicised affair. Camilla’s close friend told <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2023/01/what-palace-insiders-think-of-prince-harrys-latest-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vanity Fair</a> that the former Duchess of Cornwall is “just astounded by the whole thing.” Sources close to King Charles III also told the magazine that the monarch refuses to tolerate any comments made about his wife and believes his son crossed a line when mentioning her. In an interview with Britain's ITV, Harry said, “Certain members have got in bed with the devil to rehabilitate their image, but that rehabilitation has come at the detriment of others.” Prince Harry also took aim at Camilla in his autobiography Spare, writing that he and his brother, Prince William, urged their father not to marry their “wicked stepmother.” “Despite Willy and me urging him not to, Pa was going ahead. We pumped his hand, wished him well. No hard feelings,” he wrote. “We recognised that he was finally going to be with the woman he loved, the woman he’d always loved.” The Duke of Sussex said he has not spoken with Camilla, or his other family members, in “a long time.” “I love every member of my family, despite the differences,” he said on Good Morning America on Monday. “When I see [Camilla], we’re perfectly pleasant with each other. … I don’t look at her as an evil stepmother. I see someone who married into this institution and has done everything that she can to improve her own reputation and her own image for her own sake.” Image credits: Getty Images

“I believe Prince Andrew”: Fergie’s ex speaks in bombshell interview

Sarah Ferguson’s former partner has made bombshell allegations about Jeffrey Epstein, Prince Andrew and the late Queen, including claims that the convicted sex offender planned to blackmail the monarch. John Bryan, who was in a relationship with Ferguson for four years in the 1990s, made the claims in his first tell-all interview, per The Sun. The US businessman said that Epstein earned some of his wealth by blackmailing others in powerful positions into giving him money in exchange for his silence over their illicit behaviours. “People always ask how Epstein made his money. He was supposed to be this tax wizard. But it was all a con,” Bryan told the Mail on Sunday. “He blackmailed rich men and then made them pay to avoid scandal. He made hundreds of millions of dollars this way.” Bryan also claimed he was secretly drafted for crisis talks with Prince Andrew after the royal’s disastrous 2019 Newsnight interview, including that he was smuggled into the Royal Lodge to advise the royal in the wake of the Epstein scandal and amid claims he had sex with then-teenager Virginia Giuffre. He said the conversation involved probing Andrew about his relationship with Epstein and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. “Andrew’s television interview had been a catastrophe so they needed an honest strategic plan that everyone could buy into,” Bryan recalled. “[Fergie] invited me to come over. She was desperate. She told me that Andrew was in terrible shape. “He was distraught. They were distraught.” He claimed that he helped the family come up with a “long term strategy” called “House of Kroy”, a backwards spelling of York. During the interview, Bryan said Epstein’s “ultimate” aim was to blackmail the Queen using the allegations of child sexual abuse and other sexual activities made against Andrew. “Epstein tried to lure Andrew into his web, but I believe his ultimate mark was the Queen,” Bryan said, adding that Epstein’s plan to target the Queen supported his belief that the allegations against Andrew were unfounded. “I believe Andrew is innocent. If he genuinely was involved in ‘orgies’ as has been alleged, then Epstein would have used that to try and bribe the Queen into paying out millions to protect her family,” he said. “Andrew has never had any money. The Queen was the one with money. “I truly believe Epstein was going after her but Andrew never gave him the ammunition to do so.” The financial advisor recalled another meeting with the royals, including Andrew, Princess Beatrice, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank. Bryan claimed Princess Beatrice told Andrew, “you’ve hurt our family”, and that Andrew was “downcast” and yelling: “I don’t care anymore, I don’t care. I am being treated unfairly.” He added that the Duke was in a state he had never seen him in before after the interview. “In the four years I dated Sarah I never once heard him raise his voice or lose his temper,” he said. “It showed what strain he was under, how much he cared about the damage this was doing to the Royal Family.” Bryan added that he had only seen Andrew with women aged in their mid-20s while he was dating Fergie, and that he believed there was “no hint” of “anything untoward going on”. “I truly believe if there was anything untoward going on I would have known about it, Sarah would have known about it,” he said. “But there was never a hint of that. I remain and will always remain an outsider, so let me be the first outsider to say that I believe Prince Andrew – and I don’t say it lightly. “This outsider has a lot of inside knowledge.” Image: Getty Images

Rumours swirl over legitimacy of Meghan Markle’s podcast

One of the guests on Meghan Markle’s Archetypes podcast has sparked rumours that she wasn’t actually interviewed by the former royal for the episode. Allison Yarrow, who appeared on the episode titled “To ‘B’ or not to ‘B’”, spoke about the history of the “B” word (b***h) in feminist culture and was interviewed along with makeup mogul and medical advocate Victoria Jackson and Mellody Hobson, the co-CEO of Ariel Investments and chairwoman of Starbucks. But, one of Yarrow’s posts about the podcast has resurfaced and seems to imply that the author and journalist was actually interviewed by Markle’s producer. "Excited to be included in the visionary series Archetypes hosted by Meghan the Duchess of Sussex that aims to dissect and subvert the archetypes that hold women back," Yarrow wrote in a post dating back to August. <blockquote class="instagram-media" style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/ChpF5BiucGX/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"> </div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"> </div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"> </div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"> </div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <div style="padding: 12.5% 0;"> </div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;"> <div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);"> </div> </div> <div style="margin-left: 8px;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;"> </div> <div style="width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);"> </div> </div> <div style="margin-left: auto;"> <div style="width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);"> </div> <div style="width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);"> </div> </div> </div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;"> </div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/ChpF5BiucGX/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A post shared by Allison Yarrow (@aliyarrow)</a> </div> </blockquote> "The first episode (out now, link in bio) features a timely interview with another legend Serena Williams.

The post prompted some to speculate how much work Markle puts into interviewing her guests. While some podcast guests are clearly interviewed in-person, including actress Mindy Kaling and Serena Williams, others such as Yarrow have their comments and answers weaved into the episode. The podcast also includes audio clips from interviews with other experts, including sociologist Nancy Wang Yuen and Dr Laura Kay. It comes after the latest Archetypes episode featured The Good Place star Jameela Jamil, who defended Markle against the slew of criticism she has received since marrying Prince Harry. "I know you have a very similar dynamic with Harry and actually, when the four of us met that one time, it was a really sweet dynamic of two very like, sort of, similar relationships," Jameel said, referring to her partner, singer James Blake. "It was very nice for me to see that you have that in your home because you need it, because it's just, it's an unfathomable amount of shit that you take, Meghan, I can't believe it. "And I fought back on your behalf for years before I'd ever met you because I was so outraged. I was so outraged with the twisting of this very normal, very kind, very civilised woman. That demonization just shows how afraid they are of you." Jamil said Meghan’s treatment “re-highlighted for us the intense unkindness and bigotry and misogyny of our media and I think and I hope and I feel faith that tides are changing because so many of us are fighting back”. "Well, thank you for fighting back," Markle responded, admitting that “all of that criticism can feel really attacking or uncomfortable or scary”. Images: Instagram

Chris Dawson tries to overturn guilty verdict ahead of tell-all interview

Chris Dawson has lodged the paperwork to begin the process of overturning his guilty conviction for the murder of his wife Lynette 40 years ago. The 74-year-old has spent the last five weeks in Sydney's Silverwater Jail, as he awaits his sentencing day in court on November 11. Despite the high-profile case producing a guilty verdict, Dawson has always maintained his innocence over the disappearance of Lynette, whose body still hasn't been found. Sources told <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11279117/Chris-Dawson-lodges-appeal-against-conviction-murdering-wife-Lynette-daughter-breaks-silence.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Mail Australia</a> last month that Dawson's legal team had recently lodged a notice of intention to appeal with the NSW Court of Criminal Appeal. Nine News also reported on Tuesday night the paperwork flagging Dawson's intention to appeal his conviction has now been formally submitted, as the network prepares to air an interview with one of his daughters. Shanelle Dawson is preparing to open up about growing up without her mother, along with the torment and confusion that arose form her disappearance in a tell-all interview with 60 Minutes. Shanelle, who was just four years old when her mum Lynette vanished in 1982, said she was always told by her father that her mother left because she didn't love her and her other sisters. "I feel a lot of rage and anger towards him," Shanelle says in the 60 Minutes preview. "It was manipulative and gaslighting us." "Whatever he said or threatened me kept me quiet for the next 40 years." Image credits: Getty Images / 60 Minutes

Meghan Markle gets candid in groundbreaking interview

Before marrying Prince Harry, Meghan Markle wasn’t exactly a household name except for the few that knew her from the TV series Suits. She soon became Duchess of Sussex, announced that she and Prince Harry will be “leaving” the Royal Family for a normal life, and had two children, Archie and Lilibet. The pair married St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle back on May 19, 2018 and have since then caused what many describe, a headache, for the Royals. But this was not their intention with the Duchess now coming out in a groundbreaking interview with <a href="https://www.thecut.com/article/meghan-markle-profile-interview.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Cut</a>, revealing her upcoming projects, how she’s teaching their kids manners, to the troubles she had with the monarchy's restrictions on her life, and of course, her love for Harry. Back on Instagram Meghan revealed that when she joined the Royal Family she could not have her own social media. But now that she’s putting her foot down, almost four years later, she announced excitedly: “I'm getting back … on Instagram”. “It was a big adjustment—a huge adjustment to go from that kind of autonomy to a different life.” She said this is an important step to getting her voice back and defending herself from media stories who are attacking her. The red flags When Meghan gave birth to her first child, baby Archie, she was not allowed to share photos with her loved ones. Instead, she had to wait for a rota approved by the monarch for when she was allowed to release photos of him. "There's literally a structure by which if you want to release photos of your child, as a member of the family, you first have to give them to the Royal Rota," she explained. “Why would I give the very people that are calling my children the N-word a photo of my child before I can share it with the people that love my child?" she went on. "You tell me how that makes sense and then I'll play that game." How she moved to California Filmmaker Tyler Perry reached out to Meghan and Harry when the drama with the Royal Family got a bit too much. The trio did not know each other, and the Sussexes were living in Canada at the time with Tyler offering them his home in Beverly Hills as Covid-19 struck. Tyler’s home came with complete security detail which gave them their privacy before they found their dream home in Montecito, boasting Oprah as a neighbour. She revealed that without Tyler it would have been harder as they didn’t have enough money because they left the Royal Family, but soon they signed a deal with Netflix and Spotify. "We did everything we could to get this house," she said. "Because you walk in and go … Joy. And exhale. And calm. It's healing. You feel free." First time going back to London It was in June 2022 when both Meghan and Harry appeared in public in London for the first time for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. This was Meghan’s opportunity to also pack the rest of the family’s belongings which were left behind before they left for Canada. "You go back and you open drawers and you’re like, 'Oh my gosh. This is what I was writing in my journal there? And here’s all my socks from this time?',” she said. "It was bittersweet, you know? Knowing none of it had to be this way.” Meghan and Harry tried to stay with the Royal Family The Duchess was an actress and was always told what to do when it came to working, but soon the UK media was bashing her for her job. “My entire job was, 'Tell me where to stand. Tell me what to say. Tell me how to say it. Tell me what to wear, and I'll do it.' And I'll show up early, and I'll probably bake something for the crew,” she said. Soon the pressure from the press was too much, Duchess Kate making her cry, the racist comments over baby Archie’s skin colour. The pair offered to move to another Commonwealth and make their own money while still working for the Queen but the Monarch was just not having any of it. “Anything to just … because just by existing, we were upsetting the dynamic of the hierarchy. So we go, 'Okay, fine, let's get out of here. Happy to,' Meghan revealed. Their upcoming projects Not wanting to reveal too much, Meghan and Harry enjoy working together explaining that it is fun and exciting. The pair are currently working on their new podcast Archetypes with the first episode out with her best friend and professional tennis player, Serena Williams. Meghan said this was an opportunity to share things she never could before and give the public a glimpse into her life. "The piece of my life I haven't been able to share, that people haven't been able to see, is our love story.” Losing their fathers Meghan’s father Thomas Markle bore the brunt of the press when she was dating Prince Harry. He however could not push them away and instead said hurtful things about his daughter and did not attend their wedding. Harry also revealed that his father Prince Charles stopped speaking to him when they moved to California. "Harry said to me, 'I lost my dad in this process.' It doesn't have to be the same for them as it was for me, but that's his decision," Meghan said. Making peace with the Royals Meghan admits and hopes that one day the family could put their differences aside and come together as one "I think forgiveness is really important. It takes a lot more energy to not forgive," she said. "But it takes a lot of effort to forgive. I've really made an active effort, especially knowing that I can say anything. "I can talk about my whole experience and make a choice not to," she said. When asked why, she simply said, “Still healing”. Image: Getty

Controversial Diana interview to air in new documentary

A new documentary about Princess Diana will air snippets of her 1995 Panorama interview with BBC journalist Martin Bashir once again, despite Prince William insisting it “should never be shown again”. The HBO documentary, titled The Princess, uses archival audio and video footage as part of its exploration of Diana’s complex relationship with the media, including how she often used the press to her advantage with dire consequences. Its release in select Australian and New Zealand cinemas in August comes a year after William made a forceful statement condemning the 1995 interview and describing it as a “major contribution to making my parent’s relationship worse”. Snippets from the interview show the late Princess of Wales speaking about her marriage to Prince Charles, her extramarital affair, and her belief that a campaign was being “waged against” her for her refusal to “go quietly”. “It is my firm view that this Panorama program holds no legitimacy and should never be aired again,” William said in May 2021. “It effectively established a false narrative which, for over a quarter of a century, has been commercialised by the BBC and others.” Prince Harry later echoed William’s statements, saying that “our mother lost her life because of this and nothing has changed”. The BBC has distanced itself from the documentary, saying licences allowing for “any or all” of the interview to be aired had not been granted, per <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2022/07/28/dianas-disgraced-panorama-interview-aired-sky-against-prince/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Telegraph UK</a>. It has since emerged that Bahir lied to Diana to gain her trust prior to the interview, showing her forged bank statements and other documents as proof that her most-trusted advisors and staff were spying on her in order to get her to agree to the interview. Tim Davie, the BBC’s director-general, vowed last week to never show the interview in its entirety or in parts ever again, saying there would only be “few and far between” reasons to use extracts for journalistic purposes and urging other broadcasters to “exercise similar restraint”. He also apologised to Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry for “the way in which Princess Diana was deceived and the subsequent impact on all their lives”. The Princess isn’t expected to provide context for the BBC interview, as segments from it will be shown alongside other news bulletins and footage of some members of the public - out of an estimated 23 million people who watched it at the time - watching it in a pub and reacting to it. In a statement, HBO described the film as “intensely emotional” and a “visceral submersion” into Diana’s life under the spotlight of the media. “The film unfolds as if it were in the present, allowing viewers to experience the overwhelming adoration, but also intense scrutiny of Diana's every move and the constant judgement of her character,” the statement reads. "Through archival material, the film is also a reflection of society at the time, revealing the public's own preoccupations, fears, aspirations and desires." Image: Getty Images

Prince Harry discusses his mental health journey in candid interview

Prince Harry has shared a rare insight into his mental health journey in a candid interview. The interview, which has been published on YouTube for Silicon Valley tech start-up BetterUp, shows the Duke of Sussex taking on the role of interviewer as he declared "we all have greatness within us". "Mental fitness helps us unlock it. It's an ongoing practice, one where you approach your mind as something to flex, not fix," Prince Harry said. Harry joined BetterUp in March last year as its chief impact officer, in what is believed to be one of the duke's first paying roles in his new life of "financial freedom" away from the royal family. "Throughout the years of travelling around the world, what I saw was the similarities of experiences of trauma, of loss, of grief, of being human," Prince Harry said in the clip. "That building up of resilience is absolutely critical." Prince Harry spoke with Olympic gold medallist snowboarder Chloe Kim, BetterUp member Blu Mendoza and psychologist Adam Grant in the video, as he quizzed them about building their own “mental fitness”. "What does the term mental fitness mean to you?" Harry asked. Grant said, "Everyone is aware that if they don't take care of their bodies, that their functioning is going to suffer. I don't think we have the same awareness around mental fitness." Speaking to Grant, Harry asked: "How can we create more resilience for people, not just a better version of themselves at work but a better version for their partners, their families and their whole community?" "We all want to grow, but it's hard to do that on our own," Grant said. The interview was given as part of his work for BetterUp, with Harry saying the world was on the cusp of a "mental health awakening" and people are realising they should resign if their work "didn't bring them joy".

Camilla opens up in tell-all interview

Ahead of her 75th birthday, the Duchess of Cambridge has opened up about her family life, her future role as Queen Consort, her love for Australia and her fear of public speaking. In a wide-ranging interview with <a href="https://www.nowtolove.com.au/royals/british-royal-family/camilla-parker-bowles-family-73924" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Woman’s Weekly</a>, accompanied by a sweet series of photos <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/lifestyle/family-pets/behind-the-scenes-photos-of-camilla-s-cover-shoot-snapped-by-duchess-kate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">taken by her stepdaughter-in-law Kate Middleton</a>, Camilla said it was “a great honour” to be granted the title of Queen Consort by Queen Elizabeth II earlier this year. “Obviously it’s a great honour and I was deeply touched for Her Majesty to have given me this role,” Camilla told the publication. The Duchess will be following in the footsteps of the late Prince Philip, who she revealed was someone she often turned to for counsel while learning the ropes of royal life. “The Duke of Edinburgh was always a very good ear. He was a role model to me and a very good person to take advice from because he always told me what he thought, which was very helpful, especially with things about the army because I took over the Rifles [regiment] from him,” she said. “He was always two steps behind the Queen, which for a man must be much more difficult than for a woman - and somebody as maccho as he was, who commanded ships. So I think I learned [from the Duke] that your place is several feet behind the monarch. You’re there as a back-up.” Having grown up in rural England with her brother, sister, and their ponies, it was a role Camilla never would have imagined she would be tasked with. “Life was very laid-back,” Camilla recalled. “It certainly gave us all a very good grounding, because we could start off with a smile on our face. As far as I remember it was perfect." Their mother, Rosalind Shand (née Cubitt), was a well-connected woman from a wealthy aristocratic family who taught her children the art of small talk, a skill that has been critical for Camilla’s royal life. “My mother was absolutely brilliant at making us speak to people,” she recalled. "She used to have people to dinner; it didn't matter who it was, old or young, some of them we thought were incredibly boring, but she used to sit at the end of the table and say: 'Talk! I don't care whether you're talking about your pony or your homework, just talk!'” Despite this, the Duchess admitted she finds delivering speeches - a task she has been called to do more often in recent times - is terrifying. "I get petrified making speeches," Camilla said. "I hate every moment of it. People always say it'll get better and sometimes I find it's all right if I really know my subject, but sometimes [I get] that awful thing beforehand of really shaking and feeling seriously sick. "My husband is very good; he loves it. Because he's a very good actor, I think. “I was the worst actor in the whole school. If I was given one line to say, it always came out backwards. So I think speeches – no, they're never going to be my favourite things." Though she doesn’t share his passion for public speaking, Camilla does share his love of Australia that developed after the couple’s inaugural visit in 2012. "I think he [the Prince of Wales] always wanted to take me there and show me what it was like,” Camilla said. “He was proved right. I love Australia.” She added that they both appreciated what she calls the “take it or leave it” spirit of Australians, as well the Australian sense of humour. "I like that everybody's down to earth and they say what they think,” she continued. “I'd much rather people were out there saying what they think than beating round the bush, telling you a lot of porkies.” Though she had hoped to return for a visit this year, Camilla said their schedules, filled with events celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, have prevented them. “This year we were ready to go back again, but we just couldn’t fit it into the Jubilee schedules,” she explained. “But we’ll be back soon, I hope.” Image: @womansweeklymag (Instagram)

Man rejected from interview through accidental email to management

Alexander Wood was refused an opportunity to be interviewed for a position he applied for thanks to an accidental HR email. This was the third time Alexander applied for a barista position at Utica Coffee Roasting Company in New York. He was interviewed by the company in April 2021 and was offered the role but was unable to accept due to his living circumstances. In December 2021, after reapplying, HR got in touch with Alexander saying they will set up a time for an interview…but no one got back to him. After applying again recently in March 2022, Alexander was rejected from any interview after he was CC’d in an email from HR saying he never showed up last time. “Well, today is the first time I got CC'ed on an email I should not have been,” he wrote on Facebook on March 15. “It was an email an HR employee meant to send to management about how I never showed up for an interview and I was CC'd into their responses.” He explained that he was at an “all-time low in my life, I had just left downstate after being rendered homeless for over a week, I had left my toxic relationship, and I was legally tied to an apartment that I did not feel safe living in.” After sorting out his life, Alexander applied once again, only to randomly check his phone and saw the “triggering email” from the company. “I got hopeful and checked when I could only to find out it was an email meant for the other managers talking about how I never showed up for an interview,” he continued. Sharing a screenshot of the email thread, HR had informed management that Alexander had allegedly not shown up for a previous interview. “Well that’s interesting ok so lets reject him…” management responded. Alexander said he would “never no-call, no-show an interview, especially at that point in my life.” Shocked at their unprofessionalism, Alexander responded with proof of their emails showing that someone from HR would get in contact with him but didn’t. “I am absolutely astonished at the carelessness in this situation. Needless to say, I will not get a job there and will most likely never step foot in the establishment again. “I'm confident in my skills and I hold enough pride not to put up with this kind of absolute garbage. These are the things you don’t do with your business.” Image: Facebook

Paul McCartney takes a dig at the Rolling Stones in candid new interview

Legendary musician Sir Paul McCartney has reignited the rivalry between The Beatles and The Rolling Stones with a brutal burn in a recent interview. In an interview with The New Yorker this week, Sir McCartney said of the Stones, “I’m not sure I should say it, but they’re a blues cover band, that’s sort of what the Stones are.” Of his own band, he said, ”I think our net was cast a bit wider than theirs.” This isn’t the first time McCartney, 79, has described the Stones this way; in an interview with Howard Stern last year, he said that he thought the Beatles were the better band, adding that the Stones, “are rooted in the blues. When they are writing stuff, it has to do with the blues. ”We had a little more influences... There’s a lot of differences and I love the Stones, but I’m with you. The Beatles were better.” Responding to his comments, Stones frontman Mick Jagger, 78, said in an interview with Zane Lowe, that there was “obviously no competition” between the two groups, and called McCartney a “sweetheart”. Jagger went on to describe what he saw as the fundamental difference between the two bands, saying, “The big difference, though, is, and sort of slightly seriously, is that the Rolling Stones is a big concert band in other decades and other areas when the Beatles never even did an arena tour, or Madison Square Garden with a decent sound system. “They broke up before that business started, the touring business for real.” The Beatles performed together from 1960 to 1970, while The Rolling Stones have been together for almost six decades since forming in 1962. Both being iconic 1960s rock bands, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones have always been compared, despite having vastly different sounds and career trajectories. Writing for <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/100-greatest-artists-147446/" target="_blank">Rolling Stone</a>, musician, Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band guitarist and Sopranos actor Steve Van Zandt said of the two bands, “In '64, the Beatles were perfect: the hair, the harmonies, the suits. They bowed together. Their music was extraordinarily sophisticated. The whole thing was exciting and alien but very distant in its perfection. “The Stones were alien and exciting, too. But with the Stones, the message was, "Maybe you can do this." The hair was sloppier. The harmonies were a bit off. And I don't remember them smiling at all. They had the R&B traditionalist's attitude: "We are not in show business. We are not pop music." Fellow musician Elvis Costello described The Stones as “R&B evangelists”, and said that compared to them, The Beatles sounded like “nothing else”, and made writing your own material “expected, rather than exceptional”.

Adele gets candid about weight loss and divorce in new Vogue interview

Adele has broken her silence on the heartbreak of her divorce, being a single parent and her incredible weight-loss in a candid interview with Vogue. Appearing on the front cover of the November issues of both <a rel="noopener" href="/Adele%20makes stunning appearance in Vogue magazine" target="_blank">British</a> and <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.vogue.com/article/adele-cover-november-2021" target="_blank">American Vogue</a>, the 33-year-old songstress has bared her soul ahead of the much anticipated release of her fourth studio album next month. It's her first music release since her divorce form Simon Konecki, who she split from in April 2019 after seven years together. The pair share eight-year-old son Angelo, and used her new music to answer a lot of his emotional questions. <blockquote style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CUvEZs2MZcE/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"></div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" rel="noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CUvEZs2MZcE/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank">A post shared by British Vogue (@britishvogue)</a> </div> </blockquote> “My son has had a lot of questions. Really good questions, really innocent questions, that I just don’t have an answer for." “’Why can’t you still live together?’ I just felt like I wanted to explain to him, through this record, when he’s in his twenties or thirties, who I am and why I voluntarily chose to dismantle his entire life in the pursuit of my own happiness," she said. “It made him really unhappy sometimes. And that’s a real wound for me that I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to heal.” The loving mother went on to clarify that her and her ex-husband "never fought over him or anything like that, Angelo’s just like, ‘I don’t get it.’" <blockquote style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CUu_IFDs5dR/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"></div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" rel="noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CUu_IFDs5dR/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank">A post shared by British Vogue (@britishvogue)</a> </div> </blockquote> Adele also shared that she felt "embarrassed" her marriage didn't work out so publicly, saying, “That thing of not being able to make something work. We’ve been trained as women to keep trying, even by the movies we watched when we were little." "At the time it broke my heart, but I actually find it so interesting now. How we’re told to suck it up. Well, f**k that." Despite admitting she thought her entire album would inevitably become about her divorce, she said it covers many other things and she hopes to teach Angelo some valuable life lessons through her music. “I wanted to put it on the album to show Angelo what I expect him to treat his partner like, whether it be a woman or a man or whatever." "After going through a divorce, my requirements are sky-high. There’s a very big pair of shoes to fill.” The singer also discussed her impressive 45kg weight-loss, saying she had inadvertently gotten in shape after turning to exercise to deal with stress. “It was because of my anxiety. Working out, I would just feel better,” Adele said. “It was never about losing weight, it was always about becoming strong and giving myself as much time every day without my phone. I got quite addicted to it. I work out two or three times a day.” The honest interview comes just days after Adele announced her brand new single to the world. <blockquote style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CUpkLl3g0nx/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"></div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" rel="noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CUpkLl3g0nx/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank">A post shared by Adele (@adele)</a> </div> </blockquote> After posting a sneak peek on Instagram, she revealed that Easy On Me would be released on October 15th.

Lost John Lennon interview recording up for auction

In 1970, four Danish teenagers interviewed music legend John Lennon for their school paper. Now, half a century later, a recording of their 33-minute interview, which also includes an unpublished Beatles song, will be auctioned off in Denmark. The cassette tape is expected to sell for up to $42,000, as the unique item is in high demand from music memorabilia collectors. When the 16-year-old teens interviewed Lennon in northern Denmark on January 5th 1970, they said they weren’t starstruck. Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono had "a message of peace, and that was what was important to us," recalled Karsten Hoejen, who made the recording on a tape recorder borrowed from the local hi-fi shop. The tape recording largely features Lennon and Ono speaking about their time in Denmark and world peace, as the interview took place at the height of the Vietnam War and the Cold War. "Their peace message was what we came for," Mr Hoejen told The Associated Press. "There was a very relaxed atmosphere, a cozy atmosphere. Lennon and Ono had their feet on the (coffee) table." The teenagers originally wanted to interview Lennon for their school newspaper, but turned up late for the official press conference. "We knocked on the door" and moments later they sat next to Lennon and Ono. Mr Hoejen held the microphone, and his friend Jesper Jungersen photographed. At some point, "someone ... I cannot recall who ... asked Lennon if could play the guitar for us." He played and sang with Ono "Give Peace a Chance" and then "Radio Peace". According to Mr Hoejen, it was made for a radio station in The Netherlands but was never aired. The items up for sale at the auction include the tape, 23 still photos and a copy of the school newspaper, and are expected to be worth at least $42,000. <img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7844673/john-tape.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/dbd1d9654d564ff99c19ede5173ed501" /> Image credit: Getty Images "What also makes (the tape) interesting is that it is a time pocket. It was recorded on an old-fashioned tape recorder," Alexa Bruun Rasmussen of Denmark's main auction house Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneer said. "When listening to the tape, you realise that they talk straight from their hearts. This is not a staged press conference." The four boys behind the interview eventually found out that they "were sitting on a treasure. So the cassette was put in a bank vault," Mr Hoejen said, and they wondered what to do with it. "A collector or a museum would likely get more of it than us having it in a bank vault," he said. "So we decided to sell it." Image credits: Getty Images
