Justin Bieber releases first new album in four years called Swag

The 21-track seventh LP was released in a surprise drop on Friday and sees the singer reflect on his experiences as a husband and father, following online speculation around his marriage to wife Hailey Bieber.
It comes after the 31-year-old began to post teasers on Instagram last night as mysterious billboards were put up in locations around the world, with the new album described as 'some of his most personal music yet'.
A post shared by Justin Bieber (@lilbieber)
In May this year, Hailey, who is is the daughter of US actor Stephen Baldwin and has been married to Bieber since 2018, told Vogue that postpartum life had been 'very difficult' describing constant internet rumours as a 'crazy life to live'.
She said giving birth to the couple's son Jack Blues Bieber in August last year was one of the 'hardest things' she has ever done after going through an 18-hour labour.
Track titles on the new record include Therapy Session, Dadz Love and Devotion.
Swag follows 2021's Justice album, which featured the UK top 10 singles Hold On, Peaches and Anyone, and was made in collaboration with Carter Lang, Dylan Wiggins, Daniel Caesar, Dijon, mk.gee, Daniel Chetrit, Eddie Benjamin, and Knox Fortune.
The record is being released on the Def Jam Recordings label.
The Canadian singer, who began his career in his early teens, has had seven UK number one singles and two UK number one albums in Believe and Changes.
He is best known for songs such as Baby, What Do You Mean and Sorry.
Bieber has been nominated for 23 and won two Grammy Awards, for best country duo/group performance for 10,000 Hours with Dan + Shay and best dance recording for Where Are U Now recorded with EDM duo Jack U, made up of DJs Skrillex and Diplo.
Bieber also recently launched his clothing and lifestyle brand SKYLRK.

Jack Osbourne expresses ‘sorrow and gratitude' after death of father Ozzy

Jack Osbourne expresses 'sorrow and gratitude' after death of father Ozzy The Black Sabbath frontman, who had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019, died aged 76 on July 22 from a reported heart attack. (Image: PA Archive/PA Images) Jack Osbourne has paid tribute to his father, Ozzy, and said his heart is filled with "love and gratitude" as well as "sadness and sorrow" following the rock star's death. ‌ The Black Sabbath frontman, who had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019, died aged 76 on July 22 from a reported heart attack. ‌ Osbourne, his mother Sharon and siblings Aimee and Kelly, joined fans in laying flowers at the Black Sabbath bench in his home city of Birmingham last week. ‌ In an Instagram post, Osbourne said: "I haven't really wanted to post anything since the passing of my father. My heart has hurt too much. "I'm gonna keep this short because he certainly hated long rambling speeches. He was so many things to so many people, but I was so lucky and blessed to be apart of a very small group that got to call him 'Dad'. "My heart is full of so much sadness and sorrow, but also so much love and gratitude. I got 14,501 days with that man and I know that is such a blessing." ‌ Osbourne said a quote from US journalist and author Hunter S Thompson summed up his father, who "lived his life fully". He wrote: "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body... but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'Wow! What a ride!'." His message was accompanied by a video that featured Ozzy's song So Tired, and showed pictures and videos of the father and son with members of their family. ‌ On Tuesday, Birmingham Museum And Art Gallery announced it would be extending its Ozzy Osbourne exhibition to the end of 2025 due to public demand. Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero, which was originally due to end on September 28, was opened by former X Factor judge Sharon on June 25 to coincide with the band's July 5 homecoming farewell concert at Villa Park. The free exhibition showcases Ozzy's honours including Grammys, MTV Awards and Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame accolades. ‌ Birmingham City Council began gathering up tributes left at the Black Sabbath bench on Monday, which will be stored and then handed over to the Osbourne family. The family viewed the tributes last Wednesday during a procession in which the heavy metal star's body was carried through his home city a final time. Kelly Osbourne thanked fans for their support in a social media post and said the beautiful messages she received "have truly helped carry me through the hardest moment of my life". ‌ The siblings featured in the 2000s MTV reality show The Osbournes that shone a spotlight on the family's domestic life, although their older sister Aimee opted not to take part. Ozzy died just over two weeks after Black Sabbath were reunited barely two miles from where they first played together more than 50 years ago. The Back to the Beginning benefit concert saw performances from the likes of Anthrax, Metallica, Yungblud and Guns N' Roses.

The group who formed in 1968 and were known for songs including War Pigs and Paranoid, were given the freedom of the city of Birmingham in June, which recognises people's exceptional service to the city.

Meghan Markle toasts to 'beautiful day' as she launches new rose wine It comes after the previous rose, launched last month, sold out within an hour. Meghan Markle (Image: PA) The Duchess of Sussex has toasted to a "beautiful day" to mark the launch of her latest rose wine. ‌ Meghan released her As Ever Napa Valley Rose 2024 – described as evoking the same "soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish" as the 2023 rose – on Tuesday. ‌ It comes after the previous rose, launched last month, sold out within an hour. ‌ In a video posted on her Instagram, Meghan can be seen uncorking a bottle marked "Bottle #1" in front of bouquets of pink and cream flowers – followed by close-up of the cork bearing the As Ever logo. Alongside the clip, she wrote: "Here we go! First bottle off the line!

Three bottles cost 90 US dollars (around £67), six bottles cost 159 dollars (around £119) including a 12% discount, and 12 bottles are priced at 300 dollars (around £225) including a 17% discount.

"To those of you I don't know, but who send love every day – thank you so much. Please know I feel it and appreciate it," she captioned the post alongside a heart emoji.

The couple share their seven-year-old son Monty together with Christian also step-father to Geri's daughter, Bluebell Madonna. Geri's birthday comes just weeks after she failed to attend bandmate Mel B's wedding to Rory McPhee. The duo are known to have had differences in their friendship over the years. Only Emma Bunton attended the nuptials with Victoria Beckham instead sharing a public tribute to the singer after being forced to miss the big day due to prior commitments. Geri also recently remained silent when it was revealed Mel and Rory had held a second wedding in Morocco. It comes after it was reported that Geri's book company was facing debts. The Mirror claims new accounts for her business, Falcon Queen Productions, had sunk a further £750,000 in the year ending August 2024, compared to a £276,000 deficit the previous year. This Morning fans baffled as Geri Halliwell uses THREE different accents in 'cringe' interview Geri set up the firm in 2021 and launched her debut novel, Rosie Frost and the Falcon Queen two years later. In April this year she released a second title, Rose Frost: Ice On Fire. There are no such concerns with her main company, Won-derful Productions, which earned £2.16m in 12 months. Geri also has a jaw-dropping £440million net worth between her and Christian.
