Scots gig cancelled by chart-topping sensation amid health issue
Chart-topping success Yungblud has announced the cancellation of one of his Scottish gigs. The musician, real name Dominic Harrison, has been forced to reschedule his Dundee show.
The Zombie singer had been set to perform at Dundee's Livehouse tomorrow, Thursday 10 July. However after hitting medical concerns and being diagnosed with tonsillitis, he announced on social media the unfortunate news he has pulled out.
Although the Doncaster-born singer has been instructed to stay on bed rest for two days to prevent further voice damage, he has reassured fans that he should still be able to perform for fans in Liverpool this coming Friday.
Sharing the update with fans on Instagram he said: " Dundee, I have some bad news. This morning I was diagnosed with tonsillitis.
"I'm trying to get them out, but I need to find some time as obviously I'm on the road all the time. The doctor has asked me to stay in bed for two days to make sure I don't do any damage to my voice."
The 27-year-old continued, "I'm so sorry I never wanna let any of you down these intimate shows me so much to me. Being close to you all means so much to me.
"I'm gonna have to reschedule the show for a later date but I'll be there in Liverpool on Friday."
"Information will be provided in the coming days. I love you all," he concluded in his post. Any Dundee fans who will miss out on seeing Yungblud may have a chance to soon.
Last month he announced he would be embarking on a world tour, which will see him perform a set in Glasgow as he travels the world performing songs from his new album Idols.
Yungblud is set to take to the stage on April 20 next year at the OVO Hydro. Fans who attend the show have been promised his "most personal and ambitious project yet."
A statement from the OVO Hydro read: "YUNGBLUD, the boundary-pushing artist from Doncaster, has taken the world by storm with two UK #1 albums, six billion global Spotify streams, and back-to-back entries in the Billboard Top 100.
"In 2024, he launched his own festival, Bludfest with over 22,000 attendees and generated over 200m views, and became a Sunday Times bestselling author with You Need to Exist.
"Now, in 2025, YUNGBLUD returns with his most personal and ambitious project yet—Idols, a genre-defying album born from a journey of reinvention, rebellion, and radical self-expression.

Scots schoolgirl named on Time magazine first Girls of the Year list
A Scottish schoolgirl has been named in Time magazine's first-ever Girls of the Year list after designing a solar-powered blanket for homeless people. Rebecca Young, from Glasgow, was aged just 11 when she came up with the idea after becoming concerned about people sleeping on the streets during a freezing Scottish winter. Now 12, she has been named alongside nine other girls from around the world all recognised as being young leaders inspiring communities, as part of a list aimed at celebrating and empowering girls. The Kelvinside Academy pupil described it as 'cool and very unexpected' to be among those named, adding: 'I'm honoured by the fact they wanted to include me on their Girls of the Year list and hope other kids see it and decide to do their part in helping people.' Supplied Rebecca has been turned into a LEGO mini-figure In January, Rebecca triumphed over 70,000 entrants to take home the MacRobert Commendation Medal in the UK Primary Engineer competition. Her design has resulted in 30 of the blankets being manufactured and distributed to a homeless shelter in Glasgow, with plans to make more. She and eight of the other girls are featured as part of a limited-edition animated Time cover – reimagined as Lego minifigures, with each character aimed at capturing the spirit of their achievements. 'I was stunned when I found out. I can't believe I am one of the first Time Girls of the Year. It's simply incredible', she said. 'To be named alongside nine other girls who have achieved so much is one of the most special experiences of my life. 'In my wildest dreams I'd never imagined being in this position when I came up with the design. I'm most proud of how the idea is now helping homeless people in real life – which was my inspiration all along – and I hope this can help shine a brighter light on an issue we should all care deeply about.' Time chief executive Jessica Sibley said the list features girls aged between 12 and 17 who are 'shaping their communities with courage and purpose'. The collaboration followed a recent study by the Lego group of more than 32,000 parents and children across 21 countries which found 70% of young women struggle to see themselves as someone who is good at building things. It also found that children were twice as likely to credit major inventions to men – with most believing that wifi (69%) and the Moon landing software (68%) were invented by men, even though they were pioneered by women. Rebecca's mum Louise, 49, said the whole family was 'over the moon' with her daughter's achievement. 'The attention Rebecca has received since she won the Primary Engineer prize is unbelievable, and we're all so proud of her,' she said. 'She was just 11 when she designed the blanket, and already she's decided she wants to follow a different path – and we couldn't be more supportive. 'Even at just 12, she's already made such an impact, and we know she can do the same in whatever she goes on to achieve. The most important thing is she's happy – and following her passions is how she'll achieve that.

Strictly star George Clarke's hugely successful producer dad as he's revealed as nepo baby
YouTuber and TikTok sensation George Clarke who will appear on Strictly Come Dancing this Autumn has a very famous and successful father Strictly Come Dancing star George Clarke has surprisingly been revealed as a secret nepo-baby after his dad's identity has been unveiled. Earlier this week, Strictly bosses revealed that YouTuber George, 25, is joining the line-up for its 2025 series. He became the sixth contestant to join this year's cast, after EastEnders ' Balvinder Sopal was announced as a contestant on Good Morning Britain. The YouTuber and podcaster boasts 678k followers on Instagram, and is known for his podcast The Useless Hotline with Max Balegde. He's also built a thriving digital career with millions of followers across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.. "Never thought I'd say this… but I'm doing Strictly! Honestly, I've got no idea what I'm doing but I'm excited to get stuck in … and potentially fall over a fair bit," George said on joining the hit show. It comes after reports of all the celebrities rumoured to be joining BBC Strictly Come Dancing 2025. Speaking on Radio 1 George joked: "I feel like a lot of people will be saying who?" He then told the hosts it still "doesn't feel real". The YouTuber then told hosts Sam MacGregor and Danni Diston that he'd been keeping the secret for around two to three months – and had to put his plans of a marathon on hold for the show. Following the news that George is joining Strictly, his famous family ties have now been revealed. George is the son of his very successful father who is the main man behind one of the largest film productions companies in Britain. George's dad is none other than Sean Clarke, the managing director of Aardman Animations. The animation company are the mastermind behind Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep and Sean has worked his way up the company since 1998. Sean now oversees the entire company, managing the executive board and even co-producing several of its most successful films profiting along the way. He came on board in 1998 as Head of Consumer Products, one year before George was born, after serving as Disney's UK Licensing Director. At Aardman, his credits include co-executive producer roles on Early Man, both Shaun the Sheep films, and the musical short Robin Robin. Meanwhile, self-proclaimed nepo baby George keeps the family connection alive, naming his pet mouse Gromit and makes film references throughout his TikToks. George's TikTok account dates back six years but he has spoken about how one particular series on his page in 2021 led to the biggest increase in followers. It showed him trying to figure out the cause of a "beeping noise" in his garage, with the first of those videos now having 2.4 million views. Speaking about the impact of it, he said in an interview for AwayDays that was released on YouTube earlier this year: "People for some reason just lapped it up." George said that he got 250,000 followers in a week from the first video. He shared that his parents had been prepared to support him, even before that success, whilst he pursued a career as a content creator after leaving university. He said: "At that point of my life, I don't really know what I was doing." George, who said that he hadn't shared his TikTok page with family initially, recalled his dad finding his account years ago. He said that they then had a conversation about it, which included him receiving the blessing of his parents over it. In the interview uploaded earlier this year, George said he was told that his parents had noticed he was "doing quite well" on TikTok and recalled his dad saying to him: "We'll happily support you if you keeps going up. Obviously if it starts to tail off you need to finish yourself a job." George said that he filmed the beep series some time after that. His content on the platform now ranges from comedy skits to promotional posts for brands. He also collaborates with fellow content creators like Arthur Hill, Isaac Smith, better known as ItalianBach, and ArthurTV's Arthur Frederick. And earlier this year, George, who has 600,000 subscribers on his own YouTube channel, appeared on the second series of the competition Inside, launched by the Sidemen. The Netflix show invited content creators to take on a series of challenges.
