Glastonbury headliner branded 'dreamiest boss' after paying for entire crew's th
Olivia Rodrigo has been declared the 'dreamiest boss' by her guitarist, Daisy Spencer, after paying for the whole crew to have therapy.
She closed the 2025 lineup on Sunday night, with a cameo from The Cure icon Robert Smith, after memorable sets from Lewis Capaldi, Lorde, and Bob Vylan.
The Jealousy Jealousy hitmaker was widely applauded for her performance, and it seems that she also praised for her kindness off-stage.
During their time on tour, anyone who needed it could speak to a mental health professional whenever they wanted, all for free.
'I have never had anything like that,' the 31-year-old musician told The Stage Left podcast.
She continued: 'That reignited the importance of therapy to me because I had just kind of fallen off for so long.'
It's thought the therapy was available throughout the Guts World Tour last year, even if they were on a break at that moment in time.
Daisy said: 'Suddenly I had this free resource of incredible therapists, and I utilised the crap out of that. I was going, you know, once a week, once every other week, whenever I could.'
Branding Olivia as 'the dreamiest boss of all time', she added: 'Honestly, that was one of the coolest things that has ever happened on tour.
'It's not very heard of. It was the coolest thing ever.'
Multiple artists have spoken out about their mental health, including Lewis Capaldi, who recently returned to music with an emotional Glastonbury set.
He made a surprise appearance at this year's festival and announced a UK tour for later this year, but there was a very real chance he wasn't going to make a comeback.
Lewis described the 2023 show as 'literally the worst moment' of his life but that therapy has been a 'massive part of the reason' he's 'able to be a musician again' two years later.
In 2022, Liam Gallagher raised awareness of male mental health with his new music video for Too Good For Giving Up.
The 50-year-old Britpop legend said at the time: 'We all know someone affected by suicide which sadly seems to be at an all-time high.
'I've lost many people far too early and it's important to talk. I'm really pleased to be able to help in anyway with this song and will be partnering with Talk Club on my track 'Too Good For Giving Up' LG x'
After Liam Payne's death and various documentaries on the impact of boy bands on singers, questions about the protections around young stars in the industry. More Trending
Mental health charity Mind previously shared research suggesting that those in the music industry are 'more prone to mental health problems than the general population'.
Musicians are said to be 'up to three times more likely to suffer from depression'.
The Music Industry Therapy Collective (MITC) has now set up the Online Tour Health And Welfare Coaching service to provide aid to any professional musician who is struggling.

Devito's Circus aims to be host the kindest and most inclusive Big Top
A new circus aims to host the most inclusive and kindest Big Top in the Circus, set up by David Devito, is the smallest touring Big Top circus in the country with just 175 seats and six performers. It offers relaxed performances for neurodivergent team hires children from the community in partnership with the Glastonbury-based charity Children's World."We went to the charity with this idea 12 months ago and we've finally got to the stage of opening this year," said Mr Devito. Mr Devito said he had always wanted to run his own circus as he has Asperger syndrome and was bullied at school."Every child can have a dream and this is my dream, which is finally coming true," he said."I've been in the circus since I was 15 and this is my happy place." The show, titled Laughter is a Worldwide Language, is a blend of classic circus entertainment and timeless the Clown is played by Mark Foot, who has dyslexia and struggled at school. He said the circus helped him to express himself better through performance. "Within the circus, it is very, very culturally diverse and is very accepting of everybody and anything."It doesn't matter what your weaknesses or strengths are, you all have a level base that you can communicate on and come together like a big family," he said. Children and young adults from Children's World are employed to work front of house in the box office or selling candy floss and popcorn, and as backstage hands doing lighting or sound. The first performance was held in Castle Cary earlier this month, with further shows booked on 2 and 3 August at Paddington Farm, Glastonbury, and 5-7 September at Merriman Park, Street.

Lewis Capaldi locked in planning battle with neighbour at £1.6M pad weeks after emotional Glastonbury comeback
LEWIS Capaldi is locked in a battle over a new fence at his £1.6million mansion as neighbours reckon it will wreck their view. The Someone You Loved singer, 28, hopes to beef up privacy with a 6ft-high wooden barrier around the grounds of his farmhouse, near Glasgow. 4 4 4 4 But resident Adam Dunwoodie has objected to the star's planning application claiming an existing fence has already had a 'significant adverse impact' on his home life. He said he understands Lewis's 'desire for security and privacy' but argued the height of the proposed partition would be 'oppressive'. In a letter to the council he claimed the current fence was too tall and too near his own pad and should be lowered 'without delay'. Mr Dunwoodie writes: 'Our concerns have been mirrored by every visitor to our property. The fence, as currently located, has a significant adverse impact on our daily lives. "Whilst we fully understand the applicant's desire for security and privacy, there are several significant factors we strongly oppose. 'The oppressive height of the fence, the proximity of the fence, the standard of finish and appearance and the lack of maintenance access to ground between the properties. "Our hope would be that approval should be rejected and that work to relocate and alter the height should be completed without delay. "If required, we would hope to engage in constructive discussion with the applicant.' We told how Lewis snapped up the pad in 2020 after superstar pal Ed Sheeran scoured property listings on his behalf. After moving in he complained it smelled of cigarette smoke and dogs but has embarked on an upgrade. The music star recently won permission to construct a recording studio and last year built a triple garage for his car collection. He has also added a swimming pool, changing rooms, spa and sauna and hopes to add a sun room with glass windows and slate roof. Mr Dunwoodie insisted he was not opposed to the upgrades. He told East Renfrewshire Council: 'We do not object to any other construction work that has proceeded or is due to proceed as part of this or other applications.' The local authority is due to rule on the fence in due course. The row comes after Lewis made a triumphant return to Glastonbury last month after struggling to finish his set at the festival in 2023. He took time off after the previous performance was cut short due to a Tourette's flare-up. Now he has returned to the charts with single Survive and will perform at Glasgow's OVO Hydro and Aberdeen's P&J Live as part of a UK arena tour in September.
