Drake leaves fans fuming as he cancels Manchester gig hours before he's due onstage
US star Drake has left fans fuming after he cancelled his Manchester gig just hours before his performance. The One Dance singer, 38, was forced to miss his show due to "travel logistics and unforeseen ferry schedule". 4 4 Drake was set to perform at Manchester's Co-op Live arena on Monday as part of his Some Special Shows 4 U tour. But the Canadian hitmaker informed fans that he had rescheduled for August 5, with organisers ensuring "all tickets remain valid for the new date". A statement on the arena's website read: "Due to unforeseen ferry schedule and travel logistics, tomorrow's performance in Manchester on July 28th has been rescheduled. "The good news is that Drake will now perform in Manchester on Tuesday, August 5th, and it's set to be an unforgettable night." The singer had already played in the city on Friday and Saturday. Earlier this month, Drake left fans disappointed when he ended his three-show extravaganza at Wireless after 40 minutes. An insiders revealed the Canadian star threw an epic party after his last gig — which saw him partying at Mr Porter in Mayfair until after 5.30am. A source said: 'After his back-to-back shows on Friday and Saturday, Drake had a party. 'He hired out Mr Porter in Mayfair and was seen arriving around midnight. 'There were loads of celebs there like Casey Affleck and Sacha Baron Cohen. Weirdly, Lily Phillips — the X-rated adult performer — was also on the guest list. 'The party went on all through the early hours of Sunday morning, with Drake finally heading home not long before 6am. 'It was a great bash and everyone who came out looked like they'd had a really good time. 'Drake looked a bit tired when he came out with some of his entourage, so it's not surprising that his final show at Wireless was cut short. 'He probably needed some extra sleep.' After his final show at Finsbury Park, North London, Drake took to Instagram to speak directly to his fans and said: 'Thank you London. 'Need some time to process what just happened so I don't have my usual caption . . . just thank you so much for the best three nights of my performance career.' Drake's fans, who had tickets to his final performance night, were not too impressed though. His shows on Friday and Saturday ran for 90 minutes, with the latter featuring 13 special guests. On Sunday, the official setlist had advertised two sets for Drake, one at 6.25pm and one at 8.55pm. But the first randomly disappeared from the schedule, with Drake coming on after Burna Boy had finished. His first track was an unreleased collaboration with Central Cee, who was seen mouthing the words from the front row, which was projected on to big screens. One concert-goer said Drake then raced through hits, with a surprise appearance from Nigerian rapper Rema and Jamaican dancehall star Vybz Kartel. There was then only time for a few more tracks, with Drake finishing to Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You for a third night in a row. 4 4

Joaquin Phoenix Regrets 'Uncomfortable' 2009 Letterman Appearance: 'One Of The Worst Nights Of My Life'
More than 15 years ago, Joaquin Phoenix was responsible for one of the internet's earliest viral moments when he appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman in character. The Oscar winner recently recounted his 'horrible' Feb. 11, 2009 appearance on the talk show, which came after he did the pre-interview in character for his Casey Affleck-helmed mockumentary I'm Still Here (2010), which saw Phoenix quitting acting to pursue a hip-hop career.

I'm coming out here and I'm doing this whole thing,'' he explained on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. ''And I just want Dave to like, lacerate me. I just want it to be really dangerous,'' Phoenix continued. 'That was the kind of intention… I just always wanted to get this reaction and see how I would respond to that. So it was beneficial for no one to know, except when needed.' Although he recalled the interview was 'horrible,' Phoenix noted, 'It was strange because in some ways, it was a success, and it was also just one of the worst nights of my life.' The Eddington actor said the appearance 'was so uncomfortable,' adding: 'I regret it. I'll never do it again. I'm so sorry.' I'm Still Here grossed $626,396 worldwide and holds a 53% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes, panned as 'disturbing' and 'painful to watch.' Following the film, Affleck settled lawsuits brought by producer Amanda White and director of photography Magdalena Gorka, alleging sexual harassment, infliction of emotional distress and breach of oral contract.

Inside Drake's star-studded Wireless afterparty with A-list celebs and OnlyFans star after fans were left disappointed with his 40-minute festival performance
Drake reportedly threw a star-studded party on Saturday night following his second day performing at Wireless festival, leaving him 'looking tired' for his final set on Sunday. The Canadian star disappointed fans after only appearing on stage for 40 minutes during his final performance at the London festival. And now, The Sun claims that Drake 'probably needed some extra sleep' after partying until 6am at Mr Porter in Mayfair. There were loads of celebs in attendance, including Casey Affleck, Sacha Baron Cohen, and OnlyFans star Lily Phillips. A source told the publication: 'After his back-to-back shows on Friday and Saturday, Drake had a party. 'He hired out Mr Porter in Mayfair and was seen arriving around midnight. 'The party went on all through the early hours of Sunday morning, with Drake finally heading home not long before 6am. 'Drake looked a bit tired when he came out with some of his entourage.' It comes after his three-day Wireless Festival residency ended in complete chaos as thousands of fans blasted the festival as 'dangerous' when they were forced to queue for hours and in huge crowds of people. As the rapper appeared on stage 10 minutes early, thousands of British festival goers were left 'disappointed' as they failed to enter London's Finsbury Park for the show. In videos shared on TikTok , festival goers were stood shoulder-to-shoulder pleading with security to let them in because they had tickets for the day. However, it wasn't just general admission that was facing large queues, as VIP guests told MailOnline that they had been forced to wait up to 'three hours' by security before coming to the conclusion they were not going to be let in and headed home. One guest attempting to get in said: 'We arrived at the guest/VIP entrance to the festival at 5:30pm and the queue was massive, but we joined and hoped it would go down quick. We ended up waiting for over two hours and we still weren't in the festival. 'When I asked security what was going on and if we would even get in for Drake coming on stage they said they couldn't give us a time, but said it would be at least another half an hour. 'Everyone was starting to get angry, and people were just pushing past the security. It felt dangerous and so we decided it was better to leave, meaning we didn't even get to see inside the festival. 'It was so disappointing that the festival had invited all these people down and then treated us like that. No staff members were willing to come out and speak to us to help the situation.' Another fan took to X and penned: 'As for whoever was running the crowd management for Wireless this year, they actually need to be fired. 'I've never seen a VIP queue where people are being held outside for 30+minutes for no reason.' A third fan said: 'It looks like a fight broke out at Drake's Wireless Fest, and the police have currently preventing anyone from entering or exiting the fest'. Others took to TikTok to share their experience, with one filming the huge queue and writing: 'Wireless VIP is literally a shambles. People fighting and getting crushed you literally cannot move'. Another on the platform listed the reasons 'why Wireless Sunday was terrible', as they complained about the 'VIP area running out of drinks, fights breaking out and Drake's short set'. Unfortunately it wasn't just the festival goers who failed to gain entry that were left disappointed, as Drake's headline slot was cut by 50minutes. Another fan took to X and penned: 'As for whoever was running the crowd management for Wireless this year, they actually need to be fired' Others took to TikTok to share their experience with one filming the huge queue while another listed the reasons 'why Wireless Sunday was terrible' The rapper arrived on stage 10minutes earlier than his scheduled time and warned the crowd that he would perform until his microphone was cut off - referring to the strict 21:30 curfew. During his set, Drake brought out only three special guests Popcaan, Rema and Vybz Kartel compared to the 12 guests and 90minute run time on the Saturday. Earlier in the day on Sunday, the official setlist had advertised two Drake sets - one at 18:25 and one at 20:55. The first mysteriously disappeared from the schedule during the course of the afternoon, with planned performances from Vybz Kartel and Burna Boy going ahead in their allotted time slots. He appeared agitated, which was a departure from his more upbeat attitude during the other sets he performed over the weekend. Drake started his set by playing an unreleased collaboration with British rapper Central Cee, who did not appear on stage to perform but instead mouthed the words from his position in the front row, which was projected across the big screens. The Toronto rapper and singer appeared apologetic throughout, promising to play some of his biggest hits to win over the crowd. He told the crowd: 'London, I will love you for the rest of my life,' as he raced through a medley of tracks which included Controlla, Find Your Love and One Dance, which were remixed and rushed through. A surprise appearance from Nigerian rapper Rema raised spirits in the crowd, with tracks Calm Down and Fever proving a highlight. But after a brief cameo from Jamaican dancehall artist Vybz Kartel, who had performed to a huge crowd earlier in the day, there was only time for two more Drake solo songs. For the third night in a row, he climbed onto a crane to wave to the 50,000 attendees as Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You blasted through the speakers as his set came to a close. Fans expressed their disappointment to the BBC as they shuffled to the exits with many complaining that they spent longer queuing to get into the venue than they'd seen Drake perform. Whilst attempting to leave, fans were alerted to scenes of distress at the accessible exit with many heard pleading with security to let them leave after being told they would have to be held in a restrictive space for ten minutes or until other security gave them the green light.

Inside Drake's EPIC Wireless after-party with A-list celebs and OnlyFans star after fans moan final show was cut short
THE last night of Drake's three-show extravaganza ended when he left the stage after 40 minutes — leaving his fans fuming. But I reckon I know why the IDGAF rapper might have needed to get away sharpish from London's Wireless Festival on Sunday — and it wasn't just the energetic performance, complete with twerkers. 11 11 My insiders reveal the Canadian star threw an epic party on Saturday night — which saw him partying at Mr Porter in Mayfair until after 5.30am. A source said: 'After his back-to-back shows on Friday and Saturday, Drake had a party. 'He hired out Mr Porter in Mayfair and was seen arriving around midnight.

There was then only time for a few more tracks, with Drake finishing to Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You for a third night in a row. I'm a big fan, but I can understand why ticket holders for the final night felt short-changed. I'd have been raging. Chris plane ad prank takes off 11 CHRIS STARK proved why he's one of the funniest blokes on the radio when he gave racegoers a laugh at Newmarket. The Capital Breakfast host played a DJ set on Ladies Day and called up Zoe Lister – the voice of Jet2 holidays ads – to see if she'd appear when he played Jess Glynne's Hold My Hand, which blasts out of speakers on board every Jet2 flight. Chris said: 'So I'm DJ-ing at Newmarket and why don't you come along and maybe we can bring you out and do it live?' She then stunned the crowd by picking up the mic and doing the spiel we hear on the adverts. Tim & Co: We are back THE CHARLATANS are back with their 14th studio album, We Are Love. The 11-track record, out on October 31, is the first album from the group since 2017's Different Days. The album was recorded at Rockfield Studios in Monmouthshire and their own Big Mushroom space in Cheshire. Singer Tim Burgess said the record was inspired by the concepts of hauntology and psychogeography – which to us normal people is how geographical environments influence human emotions. Tim added: 'The whole idea of hauntology and psychogeography is represented by us going back to Rockfield, where so much history has happened for The Charlatans. 'That was important as a way of honouring every member who's played in the band. 'So we're honouring ourselves, our past, feeling that energy and reincarnating it, doing something fresh, brand new.' The group have also announced a six-date UK tour, kicking off at the O2 Academy in Leeds on December 6. They will also play Stoke, Bath, London, Manchester and Glasgow. Welcome back, lads. Dan has gotta tie shorts DANIEL BEDINGFIELD had to take inspiration from his 2002 hit Gotta Get Through This after having a mare at Pub In The Park. He was performing at the event in Reigate, Surrey, when his shorts fell down mid song. Daniel, brother of Natasha, was forced to run off stage and get them sorted. Laughing about it, he said: 'Little known fact . . . if your pants are falling down, you can't do a gig.' After getting himself back on track, Daniel went on to introduce his next song, warning the children in the audience he was about to say some rude words. The singer joked: 'OK, here we go. Kids, you are going to learn a lot of swear words in this song.' At least the shorts stayed up for that one, Dan. J-Lo's sparkle returns JENNIFER LOPEZ is back on top form after her split from Ben Affleck. She turned up the heat by performing in a crystal-embellished bodysuit during her Up All Night Tour, currently in Spain. This is J-Lo's first tour since 2019's It's My Party, but she's not lost her ability to put on a killer show as she smashed through songs including Get Right, Love Don't Cost A Thing and Let's Get Loud. She also revealed her new track Wreckage Of You, a ballad she wrote not long after her split from Ben. The song has not yet been released but the lyrics are cutting: 'It was perfect when you made me believe. 'Really got only greater for me. And it made me stronger, stronger, bulletproof. 'Now watch me climb out of the wreckage of you.' Stevie's salute 11 STEVIE WONDER celebrated a victorious set at American Express Presents BST Hyde Park by throwing an after-party for his closest family and friends. My mole revealed the Signed, Sealed, Delivered singer hosted a bash at the Great Lion Bar backstage and gave an emotional speech. They explained: 'Stevie was one of the few big stars to throw a party after performing and it was really special. 'His two daughters, Aisha and Zaiah, and two sons, Kailand and Mandla, were there too and Stevie got up on the mic to give a speech. 'He thanked them for all the support. It was really emotional.' The stars were out in force for his set, with JB Gill telling me he once bumped into him and told him all about JLS. He told me backstage: 'I've actually met him in an airport lounge at Heathrow Airport. 'He was so nice. We were on our way to LA and I walked into the lounge with the boys, and Stevie was sitting in the lounge, so we had to say hello. 'He's a music purist so he had an inkling of who JLS are and our music. 'It's funny, a lot of people who are into music in the States, no matter how big they are, know who's who and what's what. 'I remember meeting Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber.' JB is also lobbying to get a set at the event in the coming years, adding: 'We're still working on JLS headlining BST Hyde Park. 'It's going to happen, watch this space.' All the lovers came out for Stevie too on Saturday, with AJ Odudu snogging her fiancé Peter Gibson during his set, while Jade was spotted with her boyfriend Jordan Stephens. Dua Lipa and Callum Turner were also spied locking lips during Neil Young's set over the weekend, with my mole saying: 'They were late but had a massive snog before taking their places in the VIP suites. 'They are clearly madly in love.' George: Worricka a top boy BOY GEORGE has teamed up with rising star Worricka for a track called Mesmerised. The record out on July 24, is a funky electronic single mixed with classic vocals from the Culture Club frontman. Boy George said: 'I love Worricka's jazzy tones and we have worked on a few things together. 'I don't know why we have never written together, but we should. 'He sounds great doing reggae and he brings a familiar flavour with his voice but he still sounds like himself. 'I hear a bit of Jessye Norman and that's serious praise.' Worricka added: 'It's about the first moments of infatuation when you meet someone on the dance floor in a club. 'We shared the stage for the first time many years ago at The Jazz Cafe in London when George asked me to join him to open a charity show. 'Now we share the stage once again with Mesmerised.' Kaisers reigning in Spain KAISER CHIEFS pulled in the biggest British crowd at Mad Cool Festival in Madrid over the weekend. One of my mates, who was down at the front, told me Spanish fans started legging it after mosh pits started springing up near the stage. 'It was chaotic but amazing,' they said. 'The locals didn't seem used to having Brits going absolutely bananas, and left the mosh pits well alone.' Frontman Ricky Wilson tried his best with the lingo but said he was struggling. He joked with fans and said he wished he had 'paid more attention to my Spanish lessons in school', before adding with a laugh, 'I hate myself.' It then got even funnier when he said: 'Nous sommes Kaiser Chiefs,' before realising that was French for 'We are Kaiser Chiefs,' not Spanish. I'll be getting you a Duolingo subscription for Christmas, Ricky. News Just-in 11 JUSTIN Bieber is raising a glass of plonk to himself and he's got good reason to. The singer, who's just dropped surprise album Swag, will be back in the Official Charts this week. Justin celebrated its release on a yacht in the Med with his supermodel missus Hailey. Daisies, a song from the 21-track record, is on course to hit No5 on Friday. If he holds the position, the song will become Justin's 28th Top 10 hit. I can imagine there will be more corks popping come Friday.

This very casually dressed Wimbledon attendee is the actor brother of a HUGE Hollywood A-lister - but can you guess who it is?
His brother of one of the biggest stars in Hollywood who has starred in huge Marvel and DC movie franchises as well as directing. And while this casually dressed Wimbledon attendee has a very successful brother, he has had his own very glitzy career in show business. Having starred in Good Will Hunting, Interstellar and Oppenheimer, this actor has followed in the footsteps of his a-lister brother who has appeared in the likes of Justice League and Air. This star has also bagged a myriad of awards too for his movie stardom as he has been in receipt of an Academy Award, a British Academy Film Award, and a Golden Globe Award over the years. And while the brothers have proven their incredible acting credentials, this star is also a filmmaker, and producer recognised for his commitment to independent cinema. But can you guess who it is? That's right, it is Ben Affleck's younger brother Casey. Casey, 49, was spotted at the eleventh day of the famed tennis competition on Thursday as he spent the day at the AELTC's Parkside Suite in No.1 Court. He cut a casual figure for the outing as he wore a pair of light blue jeans and a relaxed blue shirt. Casey finished his look with a pair of grey trainers, black sunglasses and an olive cap. Over the years Casey has starred in some huge movie flicks as he has starred in Ocean's Eleven (2001), Ocean's Twelve (2004), Ocean's Thirteen (2007), Interstellar (2014), and Oppenheimer (2023). Casey was seen at the event alongside Andrei Gillott instead of his brother Ben, who has spent the last year being embroiled in a divorce to his long term love Jennifer Lopez. Casey is current in a relationship with Caylee Cowan, 27, but was previously married to Joaquin Phoenix's sister, Summer Phoenix. They were married for 11 years before divorcing in 2017. The pair have two sons together: Indiana, 21, and Atticus, 17 The actor first met Casey in January 2021 and started dating at some point later that year and have gone from strength to strength. At Wimbedon, Iga Świątek, who is No.8 seed, will take on unseeded Belinda Bencic for a place in Saturday's final before the mixed doubles final is hosted on Centre. Friday will see the men's singles semi-finals take place on Centre Court as two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz is first on day 12 up against world number five Taylor Fritz. Taylor is playing for his second Slam final after reaching the 2024 US Open tennis championship match.
