It's been a mixed year for Drake, but for fans of the Canadian rapper, this news will definitely be a welcome surprise.
Drake has announced a huge European tour for this summer, marking his return to the UK after a six year absence. The last time he played on British soil was for his Assassination Vacation tour back in 2019, but there's been a lot of music since then, so these dates are not to be missed.
One of these recent releases, the collaborative album with PARTYNEXTDOOR, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, inspired this tour. The band will be supporting Drake across Europe, and they will be featured during the concert.

Experts reveal how you could win Tuesday's £208,000,000 EuroMillions jackpot
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video People who play the EuroMillions are looking forward to a chance to win the biggest jackpot the UK has ever seen. The jackpot has rolled over to a massive £ 208 million after nobody claimed the top prize on Friday. If a lucky single ticket holder manages to win the jackpot on Tuesday, June 10, they will instantly become richer than megastars Dua Lipa and Adele. But with such a massive prize pot on offer, it stands to reason that more people than normal could buy a ticket to try their luck. So, can anything be done to increase your chances of matching the six numbers and two lucky stars to win the jackpot? The Midlands is the luckiest region in the UK, as more than 1,000 people have become millionaires there since the National Lottery was launched in 1994. In comparison, only 195 people have ever won more than £ 1 million in Northern Ireland, with 408 people in Wales becoming millionaires in the same time frame. When it comes to EuroMillions, people from other European countries also take part in the draw, but you'll be pleased to know the UK is one of the luckiest countries. Some 46 out of 172 jackpot winners since September 2016 have been in the UK, analyst said – about 26%. But hold your horses if you're considering packing your bags and moving to the Midlands. A National Lottery spokesperson said: 'Certain areas have more National Lottery millionaires, but there are more people in London than the North East, for example, so after 30 years of millionaire-making, you'd expect it. 'Remember, only around 5% of big winners share their news, so your perception of where the winners are may be based on just the winners spraying champagne. There are big winners in every corner of the country.' Some players reckon buying a ticket in a shop rather than taking part online increases your chances, but a Lottery spokesperson has debunked this theory. They told Metro: 'It's up to you – buy your ticket in your local corner shop, or on the app, sitting in the bath, how you buy your ticket has no impact on your chances of winning. 'The key point is to have a ticket, without one your chance is zero.' The number of times a number has been drawn also doesn't play a role in boosting your chances. reckons the least drawn EuroMillions numbers are 22 and 40, and the numbers 26, 11 and 16 are the most overdue to feature in a draw soon. Similarly, some superstitious players use a fixed set of numbers every time, maybe choosing lucky numbers, memorable dates, or the birthdays of loved ones. But the National Lottery spokesperson said neither of these improves your chances, saying: 'Any set of numbers can be drawn, so sticking with one set doesn't make a statistical difference. 'However, we are all drawn to our own lucky numbers, and plenty of winners will say it is these that have helped them bank a big prize. 'Statistically, there is no reason why the same set of numbers couldn't come up in every single draw.' This did actually happen once – 4, 15, 23, 24, 35 and 42 were drawn in two consecutive rounds of the Bulgarian lottery back in 2009. Officials ruled it a coincidence. The Lottery spokesperson also ruled out always playing on a certain day and only playing when there is a lower jackpot as potential ways to boost your luck. This is because the odds of all of your numbers matching those drawn remain the same and will not change, no matter how big the jackpot, what day it is, or how many other people have bought tickets. 'The key is to have a ticket. No ticket, no chance – a ticket, whenever you buy it, means you are in with a chance of winning big,' the spokesperson said. However, when it comes to only playing when there is a lower jackpot, the spokesperson added: 'In general, fewer people tend to play when jackpots are lower, which means if you were to win the jackpot there is a slightly smaller chance that you would end up sharing it with another player who has the same set of numbers.' So overall, it seems like there isn't a tried and tested way to improve your odds of winning the EuroMillions jackpot. More Trending The only way to make sure you're in with a chance at all is to buy a ticket and cross your fingers. Previous British winners include those who scooped £83,000,000 in January and the £65,000,000 jackpot in February. Other recent wins include the Easter Lotto draw, in which three people won £1million, and in April a single ticket holder claimed a £5.2million jackpot – not quite as big as the sum on offer this week, but still a life-changing amount of cash.

Rod Stewart 'devastated' to cancel shows ahead of Glastonbury legends slot
The music legend has cancelled several shows in the run-up to to his tea-time set at Glastonbury. Sir Rod Stewart has cancelled a string of concerts in the US as he recovers from flu, ahead of his set at Glastonbury later this month. The music icon is due to play the famous tea-time legends slot at the Somerset festival on Sunday, June 29. The star is scheduled to take centre stage from 3.45pm to 5.15pm, in a Glasto slot having played host to some of the biggest global stars like Shania Twain, Cat Stevens, Diana Ross, and Kylie Minogue. But he announced on Instagram that he was "devastated" to cancel or reschedule his next six US shows, which are due to take place in the next eight days. Sir Rod has cancelled six shows, four of which were to take place in Las Vegas and Stateline, Nevada, as well as two further shows in California that the icon plans to reschedule. However, it appears he is still gunning for the Glastonbury legends slot, insisting he will be back on stage soon. "I have to cancel and reschedule my next six concerts in June as I continue to recover from the flu," the 80-year-old wrote in his statement on Instagram. "So sorry my friends. "I'm devastated and sincerely apologise for any inconvenience to my fans. I'll be back on stage and will see you soon." He signed off "Sir Rod" along with the heartbreak emoji. Stewart also recently revealed that he will reunite with his former Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood for his much-anticipated set at Glastonbury, and has expressed some dissatisfaction at the allocated length of his set. He told That Peter Crouch Podcast he was only due to play for an hour and a quarter on the Pyramid Stage. "But I've asked them 'Please, another 15 minutes' because I play for over two hours every night and it's nothing," he said. The star also confessed that he wished the legendary slot at Glastonbury wasn't nicknamed the 'tea-time slot', although he said he felt he did deserve the title of 'legend', in an interview with Nick Grimshaw and Annie MacManus on the BBC Sounds podcast Sidetracked By Glastonbury. He said: "I don't mind, I think I deserve it. I just wish they wouldn't call it the tea-time slot." Rod also added that all his children have 'bought their own tickets' for the Worthy Farm festival. In 2024, he promised he would not retire but confirmed that his 2025 European and North American shows would bring an end to his "large-scale world tours". Sir Rod's best known solo songs include Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?, Every Beat Of My Heart, and Maggie May. Last month he was presented with a prestigious lifetime achievement award by five of his children at the American Music Awards (AMAs). Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Stephen Graham had emergency operation on a plane to the US
Stephen Graham may be known for his intense on-screen performances, but his recent appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers showcased a very different side of the acclaimed British actor. A story the Adolescence star, 51, told on the show has gone viral online for good reason: It involves mid-air panic, unexpected medical heroics, and the actor 'dropping his kecks.' Prompted by Meyers' question about a particularly eventful journey to the United States, the A Thousand Blows star chuckled and admitted it had been 'a hell of an experience.' 'I'm of a certain age now,' Graham began. 'You know, once you hit 45, the trips to the loo start to rack up.' That complaint led the actor to seek a medical solution months prior – a non-invasive procedure designed to reduce frequent urination by slightly enlarging the prostate, often aided by a catheter. For a while, everything had been fine. That is, until Graham found himself at 10,000 feet and suddenly unable to urinate. 'It just didn't feel right,' he recalled. He returned to his seat and downed more water, hoping it would work itself out. But the next time he visited the toilet, things took a frightening turn. 'Long story short, I went, but it was just pure blood,' he said. 'It was very scary. I couldn't stop this trajectory of blood and I'm having a slight panic attack. I'm about to cry and I'm having a moment,' Graham added. Earlier that day, Graham had posed for a selfie at the gate with a fan, who, as luck would have it, was a doctor. Even better? The doctor's travel companion was a surgeon. Once the severity of Graham's situation became clear, the cabin crew sprang into action. 'Next minute, the doctor comes around the corner and goes, 'Stephen!' and I'm like, 'Doc! Hello!'' What happened next could rival the drama of any Graham-led series. The space between economy and first class was hastily converted into an operating bay. Curtains were drawn, medical kits opened, and the lounge area sterilized. More Trending 'I dropped me kecks, got on the couch, and they performed a catheter procedure right there,' Graham said. The cause? A blood clot that had lodged behind his urethra. But once it was removed, Graham described the relief in the most Graham way possible: 'It was one of the nicest experiences with me and my penis,' he quipped, grinning. 'I came running out like a kid who'd just learned to use the toilet.' He also made sure to commemorate the surreal incident: 'We took a photo at the end, me, the doctors, and the flight crew. Wonderful people.' What could have been a nightmare turned into a memorable, oddly uplifting tale of mid-air humanity – and one more reason fans continue to love Stephen Graham. Got a story?
