Miley Cyrus hints she may never tour again
The 32-year-old American pop star has been belting out tunes since 2006; when she was better known for her Disney character alter ego Hannah Montana. Her last world tour was her 2014 Bangerz Tour, and fans have been hoping for a new world tour ever since she left the stage. But opening up to Zane Lowe on his Apple Music 1 radio show, the singer explained that she has a condition called Reinke's edema - a swelling of the vocal cords that can be aggravated if the voice is overworked.

Brian Wilson dies aged 82: The Beach Boys founder remembered as music pioneer as family confirm legend's death
Music industry legend and pioneer of rock, Brian Wilson, founder of The Beach Boys has died aged 82. Wilson, who co-founded the iconic group back in 1961, created some of rock's most enduring songs such as Good Vibrations and God Only Knows in a career that was marked by a decades-long battle between his musical genius, drug abuse and mental health issues The singer's family announced his death in a statement on the Wilson's website. 'We are heartbroken to announced that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away,' the statement said. 'We are at a loss for words right now. 'Please respect our privacy at this time as our family grieving. 'We realise that we are sharing our grief with the world. Love & Mercy' The statement did not disclose a cause of death. The band's official social media site released an additional statement. 'Brian Wilson wasn't just the heart of The Beach Boys—he was the soul of our sound,' the statement read. 'The melodies he dreamed up and the emotions he poured into every note changed the course of music forever. His unparalleled talent and unique spirit created the soundtrack of so many lives around the globe, including our own. 'Together, we gave the world the American dream of optimism, joy, and a sense of freedom—music that made people feel good, made them believe in summer and endless possibilities.' Wilson had suffered from dementia and was unable to care for himself after his wife Melinda Wilson died in early 2024, prompting his family to put him under conservatorship. Wilson was the eldest and last surviving of the three musical brothers who formed the US rock band in 1961, alongside their cousin Mike Love and school friend Al Jardine. His band, known for their vocal harmonies, signed with Capitol Records in 1962 and released their first album, Surfin' Safari, that same year. Wilson was born on June 20 1942, and began to play the piano and teach his brothers to sing harmony as a young boy. The Beach Boys started as a neighbourhood act, rehearsing in Wilson's bedroom and in the garage of their house in suburban Hawthorne, California. In the group Wilson played bass while his brother Dennis was the drummer and Carl played lead guitar. Their debut single, Surfin', became a minor hit on its release in 1961 but was nothing compared with the success that followed from their second studio album, Surfin' USA, released in 1963. The band were managed by the trio's father, Murry Wilson, but by mid-decade he had been displaced and Brian, who had been running the band's recording sessions almost from the start, was in charge. They were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 and received a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award in 2001. The Beach Boys' biggest hits included California Girls, Surfin' USA and Good Vibrations. Tributes flow for a musical pioneer Mick Fleetwood, drummer and co-founder of band Fleetwood Mac said Wilson had a 'genius magical touch'. 'Anyone with a musical bone in their body must be grateful for Brian Wilson's genius magical touch!!,' he wrote on X. 'Greatly saddened of this major worldly loss!! My thoughts go out to his family and friends.' - with Reuters, PA

Harvey Weinstein found guilty of sexual assault
Disgraced Hollywood titan Harvey Weinstein was found guilty of one sexual assault at his retrial Wednesday and not guilty of another, with jurors still considering a rape charge after hearing graphic testimony from his alleged victims. Weinstein was retried for offenses against two women, Jessica Mann whom he is alleged to have raped, and Miriam Haley whom he was found to have sexually assaulted, alongside new charges of assaulting ex-model Kaja Sokola. He was found not guilty of those new charges at the tense proceeding in a Manhattan court on Wednesday. Delivering the verdict of the seven women and five men of the jury on the Haley count, the foreman said: "Guilty." He shook his head when he was asked for a verdict on the rape of Mann, and said "not guilty" on the Sokola count. Weinstein looked on impassively, seated in a wheelchair and wearing a dark suit as he has done throughout the six weeks of hearings. But later, the 73-year-old appeared to mutter "Not true" as he was wheeled out of court. Following the verdict, Haley told reporters that the defense's "victim shaming and deliberate attempts to distort the truth was exhausting and at times dehumanizing." "But today's verdict gives me hope, hope that there is new awareness around sexual violence and that the myth of the 'perfect victim' is fading." - Threats - The verdicts came after a dramatic morning in which tensions in the jury deliberation room spilled into the open. The foreman had told the judge Curtis Farber he could not continue after facing threats. "One other juror made comments to the effect 'I'll meet you outside one day'," the judge said quoting the foreman, adding there was yelling between jurors. After Weinstein's lawyer Arthur Aidala heatedly demanded a mistrial over the jury rupture, Weinstein himself addressed the court, deploying a commanding voice reminiscent of the heyday of his Hollywood power. "We've heard threats, violence, intimidation -- this is not right for me... the person who is on trial here," he said. "My lawyers, the District Attorney's lawyers can fight all they want, (but) this is my life that's on the line and it's not fair." "It's time, it's time, it's time your honor, to say this trial is over," Weinstein added. The judge responded that while unusual, disputes between jurors were not unheard of, before pressing on to hear the jury's partial verdict. - Genesis of 'MeToo' - The Oscar-winner's conviction is a vindication for Haley, whose complaint in part led to the initial guilty verdict in 2020, and helped spur the "MeToo" movement that saw an outpouring of allegations from prominent women who were abused by men. Weinstein underwent a spectacular fall from his position astride the world of Hollywood and show business in 2017 when the first allegations against him exploded into public view. The movement upended the film industry, exposing the systemic exploitation of young women seeking to work in entertainment, and provoking a reckoning on how to end the toxic culture. More than 80 women accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct in the wake of the global backlash against men abusing positions of power. Weinstein's original 2020 conviction, and the resulting 23-year prison term, was thrown out last year after an appeals court found irregularities in the way witnesses were presented. Throughout the trial that began on April 15, Weinstein's sharp-suited attorney argued that the context had shifted since the first proceedings. While the "MeToo" movement was "the most important thing in society" back them, "I think people's heads are in a different place right now," Aidala said. Any sentence will be in addition to the 16-year term Winstein is already serving after being convicted in California of raping a European actress over a decade ago. Weinstein, the producer of box office hits like "Pulp Fiction" and "Shakespeare in Love," did not take the stand during his retrial, but did acknowledge in an interview he acted "immorally." The retrial played out with far less public attention than the initial proceedings, when daily protests against sexual violence were staged outside the court. This time, the case was eclipsed by the blockbuster trial of hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs taking place at an adjacent courthouse.
