Katy Perry cries during Australia show amid split with Orlando Bloom
Katy Perry turned emotional while wrapping up the final show of the Australian leg of her The Lifetimes Tour — her first stage appearance after her reported breakup with her longtime partner Orlando Bloom.
The American singer-songwriter was addressing the audience at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre while doing a hand heart, as seen in a clip shared by a fan account on X.
'Thank you for always being there for me, Australia! It means the world,' she said as tears rolled down her cheeks. She then shrugged it off and shouted, 'Now let's sing Firework !'
In the middle of the show, Perry also experienced a prop malfunction after the large metal sphere where she was in tilted. Fortunately, the singer was able to hold on to the bar in the middle of the sphere to keep her balance until the stage crew members came to help her.
Perry's Adelaide show was held just days after reports of her breakup with Bloom circulated on June 25.

Pop star Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom split 6 years after getting engaged
FILE - Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have been romantically linked since 2016. Photo: AP Popstar Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom have split, multiple media outlets reported Thursday. Outlets including People and USA Today cited a statement that said the pair "have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting' and would continue to be seen in public with their daughter. The statement, attributed to representatives for both stars, said their priority would be raising their daughter with 'love, stability, and mutual respect.' The statement came a week after reports of the couple's breakup swirled ahead of the wedding of billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos, which Bloom attended alone. Perry has been on a world tour. Representatives for Perry and Bloom did not immediately respond to The Associated Press' request for comment. Perry, 40, and Bloom, 48, have been romantically linked since 2016. The pair split in 2017 but rekindled shortly thereafter, getting engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019, as Perry revealed during an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live . In 2020, the pair welcomed a daughter named Daisy Dove Bloom. Perry and Bloom got Unicef to announce the news on its Instagram account. Both are goodwill ambassadors for the United Nations agency that helps children. Bloom and his former wife, Australian model Miranda Kerr, have a son, Flynn, who was born in 2011. Daisy is Perry's only child. Perry, born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, was previously married to comedian Russell Brand. Born and raised in California, the 13-time Grammy Award nominee helped usher in the sound of 2000s pop, quickly becoming one of the bestselling artistes of all time for her campy, big, belting anthems. She has released seven studio albums, most notably 2010's sugar-sweet Teenage Dream . The album produced five No.1s that tied a record set by Michael Jackson's 1987 album Bad . Bloom, who is from Canterbury, England, is best known for his roles as the elf Legolas in The Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit films as well as Will Turner in the Pirates Of The Caribbean series. – AP

Fans rally behind Zii Jia after disturbing IG post raises concern
NATIONAL badminton star Lee Zii Jia has left fans concerned after sharing a series of dark and disturbing illustrations on his Instagram, raising questions about his emotional well-being. The post, consisting of 10 eerie artworks, includes images of a faceless figure stitched up and holding a blood-stained needle, as well as a person lying motionless on a sofa with sharp objects impaled in their body and brain exposed. ALSO READ: Zii Jia, Aaron-Wooi Yik among finalists for 2024 national sportsman award The unsettling visuals immediately sparked alarm among followers, who took to the comment section to pour in messages of encouragement and support for the 27-year-old. Zii Jia, who has been battling a foot injury, has only participated in two tournaments this year — the Orleans Masters and the All-England in March — before deciding to take an extended break to focus on recovery. His world ranking has since slipped to No. 27, although he has applied for a protected ranking from the Badminton World Federation (BWF) to retain his standing during the layoff. The posts had no caption and its haunting nature has triggered public concern, with fans and peers urging the shuttler to stay strong as he navigates both physical and emotional challenges. Fellow shuttler Lai Pei Jing commented: 'Let's keep going together, alright?' 'Bro, we love you, okay... please don't do anything reckless, yeah?' one user called heidizetaofficial wrote. 'Jia!!! We are behind you!! You have us!! We love you,' offered.
