Spencer shares how Rodrigo helps and pays for therapy for everyone while on tour
During a recent episode of 'The StageLeft Podcast' released on June 30, the guitarist revealed what all goes down while she is on tour with the Grammy-winning artist. She shared that, 'On the 'Guts World Tour', Olivia and our tour manager, Marty Hom, made accessible and free therapy for all of the touring personnel.'
She continued sharing that this was a new experience for her and something that she had never experienced before with any other artist.
Daisy also added that the action was so important to her, as it helped her get back on track and back into therapy.
'Honestly, that was one of the coolest things that has ever happened on tour. Like seriously, one of the best things you can give to people is accessible free therapy, because it can get kind of expensive', she continued.
Impact of free therapy on her life
Daisy also delved into the kind of impact that having access to therapy has had on her life altogether.
She stated that she is doing 'baby Daisy a good justice'. She shared that it has helped her listen to herself more, especially her younger self even more now.
'It's been a gift for real. I feel like it is such a gift to be able to look within yourself and have someone else help you bring some stuff out of you that you might otherwise not be able to get there. That's the gift that therapy has given to me:I can really flesh out some stuff from my childhood that needed a voice', she shared.

Museum of Art and Photography unveils new exhibition of works by celebrated modernist Ram Kumar
The Bengaluru-based Museum of Art and Photography Saturday unveiled its latest exhibit: 'Shape of a Thought: Letters from Ram Kumar.' The display, which will be open to the public until October 26, focuses on the works of the celebrated abstract artist Ram Kumar, juxtaposing his art and writing. A fascinating aspect of the late Ram Kumar's work is that most of his pieces on display are untitled – in keeping with his perspective that his art should be interpreted by the viewer. He was also deeply influenced by the cities he visited, with some of his works being inspired by places like Varanasi. In the words of the curators of the exhibition, he 'viewed cities as people, and people as cities.' The exhibition also focuses on Ram Kumar as a writer – something he tried his hand at before he was ever known for his art. One can expect to see the odd quotation by Ram Kumar, or contemporaries who knew him like M F Husain, or even an excerpt from a conversation alongside a painting. In keeping with this, visitors can write down their impressions of the gallery and leave them behind. Also on display are several excerpts from letters by Ram Kumar that give readers an insight into his thought process. One reads, 'I want a direct confrontation with myself without any distraction. It suits me wonderful. I am able to see things in a deeper perspective.' Speaking to members of the press and others this Thursday, MAP founder Abhishek Poddar shared his memories of Ram Kumar, whom he befriended when he was a teenager in Delhi after finding out his home address. He recalled, 'I was 17 or 18 at the time… he called me up to his house and asked me why I wanted to see his work. It resulted in this amazing relationship.' The MAP has also opened up displays in collaboration with BIAL (Bangalore International Airport Limited) at Terminal 2 of the Kempegowda International Airport – with a digital display centre located in the domestic section, and an exhibition of Padma Shri-winning artist Bhuri Bai's work in the international section. The digital display centre allows access to various digital experiences such as puzzles based on art and virtual displays, including past exhibitions displayed at the Museum of Art and Photography. Harish Vasudevan, Director, MAP, said, 'The point is not for people to come (physically) to the museum – the point is for people to understand the value of art in your life. We want to take art to people in the media they are more comfortable with.' A particular highlight is the autobiographical series of artworks by artist Bhuri Bai, who belongs to the Bhil community of Madhya Pradesh. This is a physical display at the international section of T2, and will be exhibited for an extended period of several months or longer before being rotated out. Bhuri Bai's art on display reflects her own experiences and those of her community, while also exhibiting the evolution of her own artistic style – which started out with makeshift pigments using earth, soot and turmeric. One sees art closer to the traditional Pithora style of the Bhil community – which was historically male-dominated – and later changes as Bhuri Bai developed her own distinctive art. Natural motifs have progressed to modern trappings such as aeroplanes and cars – through the prism of her distinct style.

Ethan Slater shares how being part of Wicked franchise changed his life in 'huge way'
Washington DC [US], July 26 (ANI): Ethan Slater, who played Boq Woodsman in the musical film 'Wicked' and will reprise his role in 'Wicked: For Good', opened up on his journey in the film and how it has impacted him personally and professionally, reported People. "It's a hard question to think about how it's impacted my career, because it's all sort of like ongoing, one foot in front of the other," said Slater while attending San Diego Comic-Con. He added, "It's been a big part of making those childhood dreams come true," Slater said of being a part of the Wicked franchise. "I saw Wicked on Broadway with my, I think, fifth-grade class. We went on a school trip before the Tonys. It just opened, and we went, and I saw it, and that was one of the first shows that I saw," as per the outlet. "And then I brought my niece to see it for her ninth birthday," Slater continued. "I got to see it again with new eyes, and see what it must have felt like for me to see that. And so it's been such a huge part of me to now be a part of it, to be a part of Wicked, that's changed my life in a huge way," reported People. 'Wicked' is a movie adaptation of Winnie Holzman's 2003 Tony Award-winning musical, starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande as Elphaba and Glinda, respectively. The film chronicles the story of an unusual relationship between the soon-to-be Wicked Witch of the West and the Good Witch of the South, and how their lives are altered once they meet the great and powerful Wizard of Oz. 'Wicked: For Good' is an upcoming musical fantasy film directed by Jon M. Chu and written by Winnie Holzman and Dana Fox. The sequel to Wicked (2024) adapts the second act of the 2003 stage musical by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman, which was loosely based on Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel, itself a reimagining of L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its 1939 film adaptation. Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Marissa Bode, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum reprise their roles from the first film. (ANI)

Astronomer brings in Chris Martin's ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow in a ‘PR masterclass' move after ‘kiss cam' drama: ‘Best brand response of the year'
Amid the media frenzy sparked by the recent Coldplay concert kiss cam controversy, data company Astronomer has found an unexpected way to handle the spotlight, by bringing in none other than Gwyneth Paltrow, ex-wife of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, as a 'very temporary' spokesperson. The Oscar-winning actress appears in a new promotional video posted on X, where she calmly introduces herself: 'Hi, I'm Gwyneth Paltrow. I've been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300+ employees at Astronomer.' The unexpected cameo comes just days after Astronomer's CEO Andy Byron and HR head Kristin Cabot resigned following a viral kiss cam moment at a Coldplay concert, a clip that quickly made its way around the Internet and triggered intense public scrutiny. In the video, Paltrow says the company has been flooded with questions and is now aiming to clear the air: 'Astronomer has received a lot of questions over the last few days, and they wanted to answer the most common ones.' But it's not just damage control. Paltrow also uses the moment to spotlight the company's latest innovations in AI and data, and even plugs their upcoming Beyond Analytics conference in September. In a lighter moment, she acknowledges the team's resilience with a cheeky nod to the company's social media crew. The clip ends with her saying, 'Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.' Astronomer suddenly found itself in the spotlight, not for its data tools, but because of a viral moment involving its former top brass. At the centre of the drama are ex-CEO Andy Byron and former Head of People Kristin Cabot, whose brief appearance on the kiss cam at a Coldplay concert sparked a flurry of speculation. The clip shows the two looking unusually close, only to quickly pull away when the camera landed on them. Martin, who noticed the awkward moment in real-time, quipped to the crowd that 'either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.' That line only added fuel to the already swirling rumours of a possible affair. What made the situation more controversial is that both Byron and Cabot are married—he to Megan Kerrigan, and she to Andrew Cabot, heir to a prominent Boston family and owner of Privateer Rum. As the video circulated widely, Astronomer responded by placing both executives on leave while launching an internal investigation. Byron soon resigned from his role, and Cabot followed with her own exit days later. In the words of the interim CEO, Astronomer has now 'become a household name', though certainly not in the way the company intended. Reacting to the Paltrow ad, a user wrote, 'I want to know what prompt you used on what system to come up with this PR response because chef's kiss.' Another user said, 'Guys this is a PR masterclass. You take the most viral moment of July 2025 and, instead of disaster control, make light of the situation and create the ultimate brand awareness. Bravo.' A third person wrote, 'it hits even better when you find out Gwyneth Paltrow is the ex-wife of the guy from Coldplay…the rascals in marketing cooked on this one forever internet lore.'
