Released as the lead single off his + album in 2011, "The A Team" reached No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States and No. 3 in the U.K.
"That song turns 15 this year, and I remember playing it to rooms with no one in it in 2010, so to still be playing it to new fans with one of the brightest stars of the next generation is an honour and a privilege," wrote Sheeran.

Kelly Rowland Posts Behind-the-Scenes Snap from Her Role as a Coach on 'The Voice UK'
Kelly Rowland will appear as a coach on the upcoming season of The Voice UK Filming for season 14 of the British singing competition series is underway, but a premiere date is not currently known The Destiny's Child alum has previously appeared on several singing competition showsKelly Rowland is buzzing about her latest gig. On Monday, June 30, the 'Motivation' singer, 44, shared footage of herself on set as season 14 of The Voice UK's filming is underway. 'New gig, who dis…' she wrote over an Instagram Stories video of her walking past a row of empty coaches' chairs as crew members talked amongst themselves in the background. At the bottom of the clip, she tagged the long-running singing competition series. The Voice UK announced season 14's celebrity coaches at the start of the month in a June 3 social media post. 'Kelly… can you handle this? 😏,' the caption began, making a clever play at Destiny's Child's 2001 hit single, 'Bootylicious.' The post continued, 'Meet the Coaches newest recruit when The Voice UK returns ✌️.' Rowland's photo appeared in the announcement, along with a shot of Tom Jones, and Tom Fletcher & Danny Jones, also known as British pop stars McFly. All appeared in an Instagram Reels post that the Mea Culpa actress posted to her Instagram Stories on Monday. 'Have you heard the news?' was written over the video, which channeled a Mean Girls inspired whisper to the tune of Missy Elliott's 'Pass That Dutch' — the song famously associated with viewers learning all the juicy details about The Plastics. In the video Rowland shared, the McFlys whispered to each other, making surprised faces before sharing the news with a stunned Jones, who then told before he passed the information along to the 'Dilemma' star. The clip ended with her making a funny face before she smiled and walked off. The Voice UK isn't Rowland's first go at lending her expertise to a British singing competition — she also had a hand in putting Little Mix together on The X Factor UK. 'I just remember seeing all the ladies, and I don't know if it's because of my DC days and just feeling what that chemistry would feel like, but I knew what they felt like in my soul, and I felt like I knew what they would look like altogether and I went off my instincts, to be honest,' Rowland said in a November 2022 interview. Rowland has also appeared on The X Factor US, The X Factor UK Interactive, and The Voice AU. Additionally, Rowland will serve as a guest judge on Netflix's upcoming music competition series Building the Band. Contestants will have to come together to be bandmates without ever seeing one another. Backstreet Boys singer AJ McLean will serve as the host while Tony winner and former Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger will serve as mentor and judge.

The series was filmed before Liam Payne's death in October at the age of 31, and he will appear posthumously as a judge. Prior to Payne's death, Rowland told PEOPLE he was "absolutely hilarious" during their time working on the show. "I didn't know how funny he was, so I'm getting to know him, and he is so cool," she said in August 2024. Building the Band premieres on Netflix on July 9. Read the original article on People

Queen Elizabeth Reportedly Left Heartbroken by Prince Harry's Wedding Snub
Queen Elizabeth Reportedly Left Heartbroken by Prince Harry's Wedding Snub originally appeared on Parade. Queen Elizabeth was reportedly left heartbroken by Prince Harry's actions leading up to his 2018 wedding to Meghan Markle. A royal biographer claims the couple chose to break from royal tradition while planning their nuptials, which left the monarch feeling sidelined and deeply hurt. Subsequently, the queen's cousin claimed Elizabeth had hoped to play a more active role in the ceremony but was ultimately kept at a distance from key decisions by the couple. In a Substack post, royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith cited the queen's late cousin, Lady Elizabeth Anson, who claimed Harry was 'rude to [Elizabeth] for 10 minutes' in February 2018. The conflict came during a meeting between the monarch and her grandson to discuss wedding plans as he prepared to marry Meghan that May. Anson alleged the monarch's concerns about the wedding while speaking to Bedell Smith in 2019. In the post, she wrote, "When we spoke two weeks before the May 19 wedding, Liza had just heard from the Queen. 'The Number One Lady—I call her Jemima—says the jury is out on whether she likes Meghan.'' 'My Jemima is very worried," Anson reportedly told Bedell Smith. She alleged, 'Harry is besotted and weak about women. We hope, but don't quite think she is in love. We think she engineered it all.' Parade Daily🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Anson was quoted, "It's worrying that so many people are questioning whether Meghan is right for Harry. The problem, bless his heart, is that Harry is neither bright nor strong, and she is both." Per The Daily Mail, Bedell Smith claimed the monarch was upset about a second element of the wedding ceremony. 'The Queen was dismayed that Harry had asked the Archbishop of Canterbury to perform the wedding service in St. George's Chapel without first requesting permission from the Dean of Windsor.' The queen's cousin said the Duke of Sussex had reportedly 'blown his relationship with his grandmother. She said she was really upset." Bedell claims Anson was "shocked" when the queen shared the context of the meeting with Harry. "I had no idea about the conversation, that he was rude to her for ten minutes. She was trying to find out about the wedding dress, and Meghan wouldn't tell her.' The royal author also claims the monarch was concerned about the relationship between Meghan, Prince William, and her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton. She feared the trio wouldn't be able to move past their differences and work together effectively for the monarchy, "particularly the two girls." Kate and Meghan's relationship reportedly got off to a rocky start, with personality differences and royal pressures causing tension. One major incident involved a disagreement over bridesmaid dresses before Meghan's wedding, which sparked headlines and public speculation. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary in May. Queen Elizabeth died in September 2022, reconciling with Harry before his wedding ceremony. Lady Elizabeth Anson died in 2020. Queen Elizabeth Reportedly Left Heartbroken by Prince Harry's Wedding Snub first appeared on Parade on Jun 30, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 30, 2025, where it first appeared.

Khloé Kardashian names every cosmetic procedure she's done: 'I know some great doctors'
When it comes to sharing her beauty regimen, Khloé Kardashian is taking a page from sister Kylie Jenner's digital book. The reality TV star and media mogul, 41, opened up about her history of cosmetic procedures in the comments section of a June 28 Instagram post. Following her recent appearance at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's Italy wedding, Kardashian received a shout-out from Dr. Jonny Betteridge, a London-based aesthetician, who praised her as the "standout face" from the celebrity nuptials. Betteridge, who said Kardashian's physical appearance has "changed a lot over the past few years" speculated that "The Kardashians" star's "transformation" likely included cosmetic procedures such as a "temporal brow lift," a rhinoplasty (nose job), lip filler, and a face and neck lift. "She looks dramatically different from a few years ago," Betteridge concluded. "And whether you see it as glow up or glam makeover, there's no denying she's created a bold new look for herself." The following day, Kardashian responded to Betteridge's assessment by confirming the cosmetic work she's had done in a detailed list, including the doctors and service providers who oversaw her procedures. "I take this as a great compliment!" she wrote. "In 2025 there are many other things we can do before surgery," Kardashian added. "But when it's time, and if I choose to, I know some great doctors 😉💞" What cosmetic work has Khloé Kardashian done? See the full list Khloé Kardashian's beauty candor follows Kylie Jenner's breast implant confession Earlier this month, Kardashian's younger sister got candid about her own cosmetic history. The Kylie Cosmetics founder, 27, revealed her exact breast implant order after a fan, social media influencer Rachel Leary, complimented Jenner's bust in a TikTok video published June 2. "445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol," Jenner wrote in the comments section. Kardashian previously opened up about her relationship with body image, including her explorations of plastic surgery, in the June 2021 reunion for "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." Kardashian revealed at the time that she'd had a nose job, as well as unspecified "injections." "When the show first started, I was very secure, very secure," Kardashian said. "Then, during the first couple seasons I became insecure because of the public opinions of myself. Then, I had a good run of being secure. Then, recently I've become now insecure again. So, I guess it just goes up and down." Contributing: Erin Jensen, USA TODAY
