Parklife stage won't reopen as bosses issue statement after 'security advice'
Parklife has closed its dance stage after issuing a "security advice" message to festival goers. Two artists WHO were set to perform have been forced to pull out, issuing apologies to fans. The Matinee stage has been the venue for artists such as Malugi, Interplanetary Criminal, Alex Farrell, Mella Dee, and Prospa throughout the weekend. A notification sent through the official Parklife app informed attendees that the Matinee stage's show was "paused" on grounds of "safety advice" around 6.30pm.

We will update asap." Photos from the scene depict the crowd waiting outside the stage boundary with the stage solely occupied by security staff, and no more information has been shared. Josh Baker, who had been due to appear on the Matinee stage from 6.30pm until 8pm this evening, has issued a statement saying he is sorry that he won't be performing at the festival this year. Posting on Instagram, the Manchester-based DJ and producer wrote: "Unfortunately, I will not be performing at Parklife due to reason outside of my control. I deeply apologise. I can't really put into words what today was going to mean for me." DJ Chris Stussy, who was set to close the stage from 8pm - 11pm, was also forced to pull out. Posting on Instagram, he said: "Really gutted I'm unable to perform at Parklife tonight, flew straight from Barcelona to play a 3 hour closing set but due to safety reasons and the stage being overcrowded, the organisation decided to shut the stage down as it may have caused an unsafe situation for those who were there." In a new statement issued tonight, Manchester Evening News reports, a spokesperson for Parklife said: "As a result of crowd movement at the Matinee Stage and on the advice of our safety team to remove the risk of any potential incidents, Parklife made the decision to close the stage for the remainder of the final day of the festival. "Unfortunately it has been impossible to relocate Josh Baker's and Chris Stussy's performances to a new stage. Our teams worked quickly and diligently to address the situation and the safety of our festival attendees is always our utmost priority." Other areas of the festival remain operative and safe with Charli XCX currently headlining The Valley stage.

Woman Says She's Started Moving on After Her Ex-Husband Left Her for Someone Else. Now, He Wants to Come Back
A woman sought advice on the U.K.-based community forum Mumsnet, sharing that she had just begun to move on after her ex-husband left her for another woman — but now he wants to come back "I was wrecked but got on with it because I had to," she wrote of the breakup Readers overwhelmingly advised the woman to not entertain the idea of reconciling with her exA woman is unsure if she should take her husband back — months after he left her for someone else. She detailed her dilemma in a post on the U.K.-based community forum Mumsnet, beginning by explaining that her ex left her in February. He "said 'he wasn't happy' and 'needed time to figure himself out,' which basically meant he'd been seeing someone else," the OP (original poster) wrote. After he walked out, she was left to pick up the pieces at home. 'He moved in with her sharpish, left me with two kids under 6 and a mortgage to deal with. I was wrecked but got on with it because I had to," she wrote. Just as she had begun to move on with her life, her mother-in-law called to tell her that her ex had been hospitalized after an incident at a bar. is now available in the Apple App Store!

Tried to break it up and got badly hurt,' the OP said. She took their kids to see him in the hospital. While she was relieved that he seemed OK, she was surprised to learn that he had a change of heart about being with her. 'It was honestly surreal. He looked at me like he hadn't seen me in years. Got emotional, said he's been stupid, wants to come home, wants his family back,' the OP recalled. She said her mother-in-law 'is acting like I should just forgive and forget,' and sending messages that he is still the father of their kids and not to do anything hasty. But the OP insisted she was not eager to get back together with her ex as she's just beginning to heal from how the relationship ended. 'I'm not sure I even want him back," she explained. "I've only just stopped crying every night. I've started sorting myself out again and even been chatting to someone new. Nothing serious, but he's kind and makes me laugh. Ex hasn't even apologized properly for what he put me through.' The woman said she's struggling to forget all the hurt that led to this point. 'I keep thinking about how quick he left. And now he's lying in a hospital bed feeling sorry for himself and suddenly remembers he had a family? It's all a bit too convenient," she wrote. In the comments section of her post, most readers had the same take on the situation, urging the OP to continue moving forward and not entertain her ex's request to reconcile. 'Say NO,' one person wrote. 'He showed you who he is. You're rebuilding your life. Keep going! Best off without him!' 'Absolutely not!" another agreed. "He's done it once and if you forgive him he'll do it again. He made his bed, now he can lie in it."

One commenter suggested that she remain civil for the sake of their children and let her ex's "meddling" mom handle the rest. 'Support him (if you wish) for the sake of the kids, but never take him back. He can move in with his mum if she wants him,' they wrote. Read the original article on People

Bridesmaid Says She's Getting ‘Itchy Feet' 20 Days Before Friend's Wedding: ‘We're No Longer Close'
A Mumsnet user is wondering if she should back out of her friend's wedding with only 20 days to go before the event The woman said that she and the bride-to-be have grown apart in recent years, but still said yes to being a bridesmaid "I thought it might rekindle our old close friendship again," she explained, but she has felt ignored during wedding planningA woman is having second thoughts about being a bridesmaid at her friend's wedding that is less than a month away. She turned to the community forum Mumsnet for advice, explaining that she was 'emotional' about her decision and wanted to 'know what others would do.' The woman detailed that there was a lot of history between her and her friend, whom she's known since elementary school. Five years ago, her friend was a bridesmaid at her wedding, but their friendship is no longer as strong as it once was. is now available in the Apple App Store! Download it now for the most binge-worthy celeb content, exclusive video clips, astrology updates and more! 'We were extremely close until about 3 years ago, just after my first child was born. I can't really pinpoint a problem or time that we started to distance. Weekly texts became monthly, and I felt like I did 80% of the check-ins,' she wrote. After looking over their messages, she didn't feel that either side did anything wrong. "I hardly spoke about my child with her and I tried to arrange child free meet up's with her. I can't imagine it being because I had a child — she was always quite anti having children until recently," she added. The woman figured she and the bride-to-be 'drifted,' but was surprised when her friend asked her to be in her wedding. 'I said yes, and thought it might rekindle our old close friendship again,' she said. However, the woman said that her hope didn't come to fruition. 'We've met up since with the other bridesmaids and it's been a lovely time when we meet but I almost feel a bit like I can feel their friendships are closer than ours. The [bachelorette party] was a great time but a clear feeling of who she was closer too,' she said, adding that her offers to help with the wedding have been ignored. She continued, 'Our messages are quite generic — almost like you're talking to an acquaintance. Sometimes she will reply asking how me and the kids are but then ignore me after, I feel like she doesn't really care.' The wedding is in 20 days and she was 'starting to get itchy feet" about being a bridesmaid. 'Part of me feels we're no longer close but at the same time, the bride hasn't been nasty or mean. Do I just show up on the day and then fade things out? I've already brought my dress, paid the make up artist and hair stylist,' she said, Her husband has told her to attend and then let the friendship fizzle and users were in agreement that she shouldn't back out this close to the wedding. 'It would be extremely childish not to turn up because you're feeling jealous of her other friendships. You say she hasn't said or done anything unkind to you, you've just drifted apart so to dramatically resign from being her BM or to just not turn up sounds really unnecessary,' one person wrote, adding that they did not know what she was hoping to achieve. 'You say you enjoyed the [bachelorette party] and the meets ups with the other bridesmaids, so go and enjoy the wedding and then if you want to let the friendship drift again afterwards you're free to do so I suppose, but I'm honestly not sure what it is you want from her,' that person continued. 'Just see your commitment through and pull away after that,' another encouraged.

In various updates, the original poster felt the bride only asked because she was her bridesmaid, and once again listed all the ways she felt her friend was not keeping her involved in the wedding plans. Still, she has decided to go to the wedding. 'I will show on the day with a smile on my face and remember how long we have been friends and the good days we had together. Then I'll fade into the distance,' she wrote. Read the original article on People
