Drake announces UK summer tour as he returns for the first time in six years - but will he face an awkward run in with nemesis Kendrick Lamar?
Drake has announced his highly-anticipated return to Europe and the UK for the first time in six years following his 2019 Assassination Vacation Tour.. The five-time Grammy-award winning artist will be landing in the UK in July for his $ome $pecial $hows tour. Kicking things off with two dates in Birmingham at the Utilita Arena on July 20 and 21, he will then perform two dates in Manchester at the Co-op Live on July 25 and 26, before heading to Europe. However Drake could face an award run in with his nemesis Kendrick Lamar who is also scheduled to tour the UK in the same month. Tickets will go on sale via on Friday, June 6 and an additional Live Nation pre-sale will take place on Wednesday 4 June. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It comes after Drake was announced to be making history as he headlines London's Wireless festival for all three nights. He will make history as the world's first artist to headline a festival for three nights with three different setlists later this year, with each night featuring unique setlists and special guests. The festival sold out within minutes, marking the fastest sell-out in its 20-year history. Meanwhile Toronto-born Drake and multi Grammy winner Kendrick have been embroiled in a furious rivalry for years, despite collaborating on each other's records in the early days of their careers. Drake had desperately tried to prevent Lamar from performing his scathing diss track Not Like Us, in which he refers to the Canadian as a 'certified pedophile,' to 83,000 fans at the game. He had reportedly banned his close friends from watching the set and refused to talk about it. But despite his failure to veto the track, he was 'happy' that viewers tuning in at home were less than impressed by Lamar's performance. 'Drake put his friends on a Super Bowl ban and did not tune into the show,' an insider told 'He was not able to stop Not Like Us from being played and wasn't happy about it. 'He knows it resonated with Kendrick's target audience who have basically exiled him.' The source added, 'But he is happy that people weren't impressed by Kendrick's performance and is feeling better about his chances of a comeback - even if he does feel that he has lost some of his core fans.' Despite Drake recently suing his and Kendrick's record label, Universal Music Group, over the controversial Not Like Us, Kendrick performed the song, but he omitted the accusation. Lamar made reference to the lawsuit before launching into the track, telling the crowd: 'I want to perform their favorite song, but you know they love to sue.' But he did deliver two other controversial lines, including 'Say Drake, I hear you like them young' and 'trying to strike a chord and it's probably a minor.' He also wore a big silver chain pendant with a small letter 'a', an apparent reference to 'A minor' in the lyrics. Drake's tour coincides with Kendrick's date in the UK as he embarks on a series of shows with SZA. The collaborators are bringing their Grand National Tour to Glasgow, Birmingham, London and Cardiff in July. The summer run will begin on July 8 at Glasgow's Hampden Park and wrap at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on July 22.

Drive Noel Gallagher's Bentley! Oasis star's iconic noughties motor goes on sale for huge seven-figure sum
Oasis star Noel Gallagher 's former 'pride and joy' retro Bentley Turbo R has hit the market for £1.2million. The 1997 model, which packs a punch with its 6.8L engine, was one of Gallagher's many cars which he could famously never drive after quitting his lessons while being mobbed by fans. Instead the legendary songwriter opted to be chauffeured around, with the deep red saloon just one of his many luxury motors. Its doors open to a cream leather seated interior, complemented by wood trim which allows prospective buyers into 'a slice of British rock and roll history'. Described as being in 'excellent condition' and 'surprisingly reliable', the five-door saloon is also kitted out with a registration plate which reads 'OA6I6 2' in a nod to the upcoming reunion. It has clocked 100,000 miles in its 28-year life, having been registered on March 25, 1997, and the accompanying logbook proves that it was once owned by Gallagher and five others. The car can hit top speeds of 150mph, though having been 'rarely driven', it may take an extra bit of greasing to get there. Erin Baker, Editorial Director at Auto Trader said: 'Cars listed by music legends don't come around very often, and Noel Gallagher's Bentley Turbo R is certainly one for the Auto Trader history books.' The deep red saloon was one of Gallagher's many cars which he could famously never drive after quitting his lessons while being mobbed by fans in the 1990s Gallagher previously told how his driving instructor caused a group of fans to mob him in the 1990s, meaning the Bentley and other 'expensive mistakes' like his 1967 Jaguar Mark II spent most of their time gathering dust. He told BBC Radio in 2023: 'I was driving round a housing estate in Slough and [the driving instructor] said to me, "pull in here". 'I pulled over and she got out of the car. 'She said "I'll be back in a minute" and came out with her mum. She'd driven me to her house and her mum was taking a picture of me in the street.' Things quickly descended and further chaos ensued for Gallagher when a local school bell rang and floods of pupils ran towards him. He said: 'I'm in a red Nissan Micra with a massive great big triangle on the top of it with an L, with all these kids coming out. 'This is at the height of Oasis mania. I was like, "never, never again am I getting in a car".' Though Gallagher doesn't have a license, he still splurges on luxury cars today - though he did brand his purchase of a vintage Jaguar as his 'most expensive mistake'. He previously said: 'I thought when I became a fully-blown rock star, I was gonna need a car. So I got a Jaguar Mark II from 1967, the year I was born. 'But they take about 18 months to two years to build, so I thought I'll easily have learned to drive in two years. 'This low-loader pulled up outside the house with this car on the back. I was putting the kettle on, thinking, 'f***ing lovely car, that. I'm gonna get one of those, one day'. 'And the guy knocked on the door and said 'Mr Gallagher? Your car!' I'd forgotten that I'd bought the car.' The convertible was said to have only covered nine miles in five years. In recent years, the rockstar was even hit with a six-month driving ban after his chauffeur-driven Range Rover racked up a number of speeding tickets. He appeared at Lavender Hill Magistrates Court in June 2023 and was ordered to pay more than £1000 for not naming who the driver was.
