Brooklyn Beckham delivers ultimate blow to dad David as feud rumbles on
Brooklyn Beckham has failed to mark Father's Day for his dad David Beckham amid their family fallout despite the football icon's olive branches through social media David Beckham's public calls to his eldest son Brooklyn Beckham have appeared to have landed flat as he has failed to mark Father's Day. The football icon, 50, has been locked in a bitter family fallout with his son, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30. Things came to blows for the Beckhams when Brooklyn and Nicola failed to attend David's 50th birthday celebrations despite flying to London from Los Angeles. Since, Brooklyn has appeared keen to express his loyalties towards his wife amid reports he has stopped responding to messages from his famous family. Brooklyn failed to publicly acknowledge David's long awaited knighthood on Friday and has now ignored Father's Day. For the family who have long used social media to post gushing personal messages, it seems Brooklyn's silence could be deafening. His younger brothers Romeo and Cruz led the way in paying tribute to David for the special day. Cruz shared a snap of him chilling in the sun with his sports star dad and captioned the post saying: " Happy Father's Day, I love you x." Meanwhile, Romeo posted two pictures of him and his father. One was of him as a child with David and he captioned it simply saying: "love you." David shared his own public message to his children as he appeared to hint at the feud. He shared: "My most important & favourite job in life is being a dad... I'm so proud of all of you and like daddy ( sorry boys ) tells you every single day I will always be here for you no matter what... "Mummy thank you for doing the most important part and making me a father there is no greater gift in life than making me a dad... Happy Father's Day... I love you kiddies more than you could imagine." Throughout the day, David shared a series of throwback photos of his family as he shared his pride at being a dad. He tagged all his children in the posts, yet still did not receive a response from Brooklyn. His wife Nicola chose to share the love to her own dad but not her in-law. She shared a series of photos throughout the years with her dad Nelson alongside a touching caption. Nicola wrote: "Happy Father's Day to the greatest dad in the world I am so lucky to be your daughter I love you more than you will ever know. Thank you for always being my constant support I love you beyond words. Happy Father's Day dad." Brooklyn recently shared a picture of a tattoo that could be perceived as a tell-tale sign about where his loyalties lie. The image shows the tattoo on Brooklyn's upper back that is based on a note Nicola, 30, wrote to him before their wedding in April 2022. Tattooed in a stylish calligraphy font, it reads: "My forever boy. Read this anytime you feel anxious. I want you to know how deeply loved you are. You have the kindest heart I've ever met and hope I never go a day without your love. I think you are so incredible. Just know we can get through it all together if you breathe slow and trust. I love you beyond. Love always, your future wifey."

"Garth you are such a superstar class act," the momanger told the surgeon. "You did my first facelift in 2011… 14 years ago!!! and made it the most amazing experience ever and even gave us access to film so that others could get a peek inside what it's like and not be afraid… you have taken great care of us always and remain such a close and treasured friend!! Such an incredible talent!!"

Parklife stage shut and acts cancelled as festival issues new statement
The Matinee stage at the Parklife festival was closed this evening with bosses at the festival making the decision to pause proceedings at the dance arena following 'advice from the safety team' Parklife festival goers received a surprising update that one of its prime stages was shut, citing 'safety' worries as the cause. Revellers were earlier asked to evacuate from the Matinee stage, following a decision by Heaton Park festival chiefs to halt the dance arena's programme based on 'advice from the safety team'. Manchester's own DJ Josh Baker and Denmark's Chris Stussy had been lined up to grace the stage Sunday evening. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Baker, who was scheduled for a 6.30pm to 8pm slot, expressed his regrets saying he was 'deeply sorry' he couldn't take the stage. On social media to his followers, he announced: "Unfortunately, I will not be performing at Parklife due to reasons outside of my control. I deeply apologise. I can't really put into words what today was going to mean for me." Chris Stussy, set to close the stage with an 8pm to 11pm performance, found himself in the same position, reports the Manchester Evening News. Taking to Instagram, Stussy revealed his disappointment at not being able to perform, mentioning 'safety comes first' and pointed out that the closure was 'due to safety reasons' and issues with the 'stage being over-crowded'. By way of an alert through the Parklife app, festival organisers informed that there was an interruption at the Matinee stage. Festival-goers saw the message: "Upon advice of the PL safety team, the show on the Matinee stage has been paused. We will update asap." In a fresh statement released this evening, Parklife's spokesperson announced: "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." Attendees described the stage area as dangerously overcrowded, with 'all packed together' and 'too many people in'. A staff member reportedly took to the stage to announce an evacuation due to a 'health and safety emergency'. Lizzie Brown, 18, from Birmingham, said: "I was in there and they were letting too many people in. We were all packed together, but stuck. This man on the mic said everyone needs to leave. He said it was a health and safety emergency. As we were leaving, we had to climb over the barrier to get out." Several hopefuls lingered outside the Matinee stage, wishing for it to reopen, yet eventually dispersed when it became clear that it wouldn't be in time for Stussy's scheduled performance. The rest of the festival's stages continued to operate without interruption
