Erasure's Andy Bell says Blondie's Debbie Harry helped him come out
Erasure's Andy Bell says Blondie's Debbie Harry helped him come out Bell is best known for being half of the synth‐pop duo Erasure, the group behind the hit songs A Little Respect, Sometimes and Always Erasure perform at Terminal 5 in New York City (Image: Getty Images North America ) Erasure star Andy Bell has said the lead singer from Blondie, Debbie Harry, helped him come out as a teenager. Bell is best known for being half of the synth‐pop duo Erasure, the group behind the hit songs A Little Respect, Sometimes and Always. The singer, 61, now shares a song with Harry titled Heart's A Liar which features in his newly released studio album, Ten Crowns. Bell told PA news agency: "She was my teenage idol. "I was smitten. When I saw her on TV, she had the big hair with the light behind the hair, it was like a halo. "And so I bought a packet of hair bleach and bleached my hair and then went to school proudly with my Blondie t-shirt. Article continues below "She kind of helped me come out before I was gay kind of thing so that just stuck with me. "I was one of those kids that was in their bedroom listening to the music all day. "I had the record player in my wardrobe to make it sound bigger." The singer started his Ten Crowns tour in May 2025 with concerts scheduled across the UK throughout the summer along with performances in Ireland, Denmark and Germany. The North American leg of the tour will start from October through to December with concerts in New York City, Washington D.C. and Toronto. Speaking about Harry and new track, Heart's A Liar, Bell added that the song took about a year to be finalised with Harry's vocals. He said: "She's a great mentor and her songs are amazing. You know, the way she uses her voice. "It took about a year for it to come back, but it came back on the same day we were in New York City doing Gay Pride festivals last year, and the vocals arrived on that day. And I just thought, that's such a Debbie thing, you know, where her timing is always divine. "I never would have believed it when I was a teenager listening to her music. I would never would have believed that I would be on a song with her. The industry still has "a way to go" in order for it to be more inclusive, says Bell. He added: "I know everybody gets one chance. "And you can have a huge hit and that's fine but the minute it starts to go askew you're dropped, like completely, it's almost like you're ignored. "And that would be my advice to young gay people in the industry, is you have to have really thick skin. "And also, don't believe the hype when you're a success, all the stuff that people are telling you, don't believe it, because it's too ingratiating, and too over the top praise, you need to keep your essence. "I think people become more damaged, not that their fame is instant, but because you're either so huge, or you're nothing. Article continues below "I'm not saying it's an overnight thing, because they work really hard, but it's almost like I want to pre-warn them just in case." Erasure, made up of Bell and the musician and songwriter Vince Clarke, won the Brit Award for Best British Group in 1989, and saw multiple number one albums including Wild!, Chorus and I Say I Say I Say.

The Voet'Tsekkers fly while Afrikaans turns 100
Perhaps the most unforgivable part of the Great Trek 2025 edition of 49 Afrikaner refugees (five more than Charlize Theron's... Newly arrived South Africans during welcome statements by US officials in Dulles, Virginia on May 12, 2025. Picture: Chip Somodevilla / Getty Images North America / Getty Images via AFP Perhaps the most unforgivable part of the Great Trek 2025 edition of 49 Afrikaner refugees (five more than Charlize Theron's 2022 census), clad in their down jackets and toting their bespoke luggage on a chartered flight to freedom in the US, was that the clamour last week overshadowed a far more important milestone. On Thursday, 8 May, it was 100 years since the great writer CJ Langenhoven introduced a Bill in parliament for Afrikaans to be recognised as one of the country's two official languages. It's still an official language to this day, albeit with 11 others. Afrikaans' trajectory from kombuistaal to an official language used to defend academic theses and highly complex legal arguments has been a benchmark for all indigenous tongues. The language has been robustly promoted and protected by white speakers throughout its history, but they only make up about 40% of the people who actually speak it as a first language. It's South Africa's third-most used language, spoken by almost 13% of the population and when you look at its representation in literature, film, culture and advertising, it's second only to English which, ironically, is the mother tongue of less than eight percent of the population, ranking sixth in the official language table. ALSO READ: Second chance for Amerikaner 'refugees' Afrikaans has been a success story by any metric, much like white Afrikaners themselves. In terms of their representation in the formal job market, ownership of businesses, directorships and, of course, agriculture, they have proven – as so many African nationalists have said over and over – how affirmative action can really benefit a group of people, so many of whom were unemployable, unskilled and poverty stricken when the Union of South Africa was formed in 1910, which continued to weigh heavily upon the minds of their leaders well beyond the end of World War I – and definitely after 1948. In 1960, Harold MacMillan rattled white South Africans when he told them in no uncertain terms about the Wind of Change blowing through Africa. Three years before, MacMillan had shocked Britons when he told them they'd never had it so good. It's a truth that quietly resonates for all the Afrikaners who remain here, just as it does for all their other white compatriots who aren't leaving. That's why 187 years since Piet Retief left Makhanda for freedom, the 49 now have their own name from those they left behind; the Voet'Tsekkers. God bless Afrikaans.

Ryan Fox chips in for birdie in playoff to win Myrtle Beach Classic over Mackenzie Hughes
The Canadian and Harry Higgs each missed their birdie putts Published May 12, 2025 • 2 minute read Mackenzie Hughes of Canada, left, and Ryan Fox of New Zealand shake hands on the 18th green during the final round of the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic 2025 at Dunes Golf & Beach Club on May 11, 2025 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Photo by Andy Lyons / Getty Images North America MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — Ryan Fox of New Zealand chipped in from just outside 50 feet on the first playoff hole to win the Myrtle Beach Classic on Sunday for his first PGA Tour title, sending him back to the PGA Championship.

Create Account Fox closed with a 5-under 66 that looked like it might not be enough when Mackenzie Hughes came to the 18th hole with a one-shot lead. Hughes pulled his drive into the trees, had to pitch out and missed a 10-foot par putt for a 67 that put him in a playoff at 15-under 269 with Fox and Harry Higgs, who missed a 25-foot birdie putt on the 18th with a chance to win for the first time. Higgs shot 68. Going back to the 18th for the playoff, Hughes and Higgs found the fairway and each had decent looks at birdie. Fox went from the rough to the collar right of the green. He raised both arms when the chip dropped for birdie. 'I had a really similar line in regulation and missed the putt right,' Fox said. 'My caddie, Dean (Smith), said to me, 'Remember, this doesn't break that much.′ So I just kind of aimed straight at it, and I hit the spot I wanted to hit. … To be honest, it never looked like it was going anywhere else, and the rest of it is a bit of a blur from there.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Higgs and Hughes each missed their birdie putts. The 38-year-old Fox had won three times on the European tour, including the flagship BMW PGA Championship in 2023, and has climbed as high as No. 23 in the world. But he had yet to record a top 10 on the PGA Tour this year. 'Very rewarding,' Fox said. 'I haven't transitioned probably as well as I would have liked over to the PGA Tour. It was a tough year last year. I managed to just keep my card. It's been a scratchy start this year as well. I always deep down felt like I could compete with the guys out here. Just haven't been able to put it together. I was very happy to do it this week and give myself a chance on Sunday was nice again.' The PGA Championship was holding a spot in the field at Quail Hollow for the winner of the Myrtle Beach Classic. This will be Fox's fourth straight year playing the major. Hughes was already in the field. The victory also gives Fox a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour and a spot in The Sentry at Kapalua to start next year.

Create Account Journalism, the Santa Anita Derby champion, is the morning-line favourite (3-1). He has won four straight races, three of which were graded stakes, at three different tracks and is backed by an elite pedigree (by Curlin, the American Horse of the Year in 2007 and 2008, and out of a dam tied to Nyquist, winner of the 2016 Kentucky Derby). With triple-digit speed figures, tactical versatility and consistent improvement, he fits the profile of a Derby winner. His only question mark is handling a large field for the first time. Trainer Bob Baffert is set to make his return to the Derby after serving a three-year suspension, handed down when 2021 Kentucky Derby runner Medina Spirit failed a drug test. His two entries – Rodriguez and Citizen Bull – were among the top 10 in the points standings for this year's Run for the Roses. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. One horse from the European/Middle East Road to the Kentucky Derby and one from the Japanese Road to the Kentucky Derby also will be competing in this year's first Triple Crown race. Admire Daytona won the UAE Derby and will be the representative from the European/Middle East Road. Luxor Café, a son of 2015 Triple Crown winner American Pharoah, won the Fukuryu Stakes in March to secure his spot in the Derby via the Japanese qualifying series. Below, we break down the odds and post positions, with a few insights to help you handicap this year's Derby contenders. Post time: Saturday, 6:57 p.m. Eastern TV: NBC – – – Citizen Bull walks back to the barn during the morning training in preparation for the 151th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on April 25, 2025 in Louisville, Kentucky. Photo by Andy Lyons / Getty Images North America No. 1 Citizen Bull (20-1) Trainer: Bob Baffert Jockey: Martin Garcia Citizen Bull has amassed a commendable record, with notable victories in the Grade I American Pharoah Stakes, the Grade I Breeders' Cup Juvenile and the Grade III Robert B. Lewis Stakes. Citizen Bull aims to become the third Kentucky Derby winner sired by Into Mischief, following Authentic (2020) and Mandaloun (2021).

Joseph Jr. Jockey: Flavien Prat Neoequos – in the field after Built decided to run in the Grade II Pat Day Mile on the Kentucky Derby undercard – has tactical speed, consistent graded stakes form and sharp recent workouts. Plus, he is an overachiever who could be among the first four finishers in his first race away from Gulfstream Park. Neoequos has twice earned third-place finishes at double-digit odds in graded stakes races, and he has two other second-place finishes at odds of 5-1. – – – No. 3 Final Gambit (30-1) Trainer: Brad H. Cox Jockey: Luan Machado Final Gambit is trying to make a name for himself, but he has never run on dirt and his pedigree suggests he is more suited for the traditional 1½ miles of the Belmont Stakes rather than the 1¼ miles of the first leg of the Triple Crown. Still, Cox's mounts ridden by Machado have won 40 percent of their races in the past 60 days, returning a profit of $1.79 for every $2 wagered to win, per Brisnet.

Photo by Andy Lyons / Getty Images North America No. 4 Rodriguez (12-1) Trainer: Bob Baffert Jockey: Mike E. Smith Rodriguez secured his place in the Derby with a victory in the Grade II Wood Memorial, leading from start to finish and drawing off to win by 3½ lengths. His sire, Authentic, is known for producing versatile runners, and Rodriguez's demonstrated early speed positions him as a potential pacesetter in the Derby. Among horses in this field, only No. 8 Journalism and No. 1 Citizen Bull have earned a higher Brisnet final speed figures than Rodriguez. – – – No. 5 American Promise (30-1) Trainer: D. Wayne Lukas Jockey: Nik Juarez American Promise, sired by 2018 Triple Crown winner Justify out of Tapit mare Tapella, boasts a pedigree rich in stamina and classic distance capabilities. He showed some of that when he dominated the ungraded Virginia Derby, completing 1⅛ miles at Colonial Downs in 1:46.41, a track record. However, the two times he was entered against graded stakes competition, he didn't finish better than fifth. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. – – – No. 6 Admire Daytona (30-1) Trainer: Yukihiro Kato Jockey: Christophe Lemaire Admire Daytona has already proved his mettle internationally with a tenacious victory in the Grade II UAE Derby over 1 3/16 miles, but the winner of that prep race hasn't gone on to claim the Kentucky Derby in 20 tries. – – – No. 7 Luxor Café (15-1) Trainer: Noriyuki Hori Jockey: Joao Moreira Luxor Café, a Japanese-based colt sired by Triple Crown winner American Pharoah, dominated the Japan Road to the Kentucky Derby with victories in the Hyacinth and Fukuryu Stakes. The recent crop of horses from Japan has appeared to get stronger and stronger, and Luxor Café will look to improve on Forever Young's third-place finish last year. – – – This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Trainer: Michael McCarthy Jockey: Umberto Rispoli The Curlin colt impressed with a 3½-length victory in the Grade II Los Alamitos Futurity and followed up with solid wins in the Grade II San Felipe Stakes and Grade I Santa Anita Derby. He's also won his third race off a layoff before, and McCarthy has a positive return on investment in those scenarios (18 cents for every $2 wagered over 72 races, per Brisnet). – – – No. 9 Burnham Square (12-1) Trainer: Ian R. Wilkes Jockey: Brian Hernandez Jr. Burnham Square, sired by Liam's Map – a notable speedster and Grade I Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner – needs more stamina from his pedigree to convince me he can handle the Derby's 1¼-mile distance. His ability to close from behind, as seen in the Grade III Holy Bull Stakes, makes him a fringe contender if the pace of the race is swift, but even then he probably hangs on for a board hit rather than crossing the wire first. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. – – – No. 10 Grande (20-1) Trainer: Todd Pletcher Jockey: John R. Velazquez Grande has shown consistent improvement, culminating in a 101 Brisnet speed figure during his runner-up finish in the Grade II Wood Memorial. Trained by Pletcher, a two-time Derby winner, Grande should benefit from experienced guidance, while his tactical running style will allow flexibility in positioning during the race, which can be crucial in navigating the Derby's large field. – – – No. 11 Flying Mohawk (30-1) Trainer: D. Whitworth Beckman Jockey: Joseph D. Ramos Flying Mohawk has two wins and two seconds in six starts, earning $295,800. He also has demonstrated versatility, winning on turf and synthetic surfaces. His pedigree leans heavily toward turf influences, with sire Karakontie excelling on grass and offering less success in producing dirt runners. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. – – – No. 12 East Avenue (20-1) Trainer: Brendan P. Walsh Jockey: Manny Franco East Avenue announced his presence with a gate-to-wire victory in the Grade I Breeders' Futurity. Then he faltered badly in the Grade I Breeders' Cup Juvenile (finishing ninth out of 10 horses as the favorite) and again in the Grade II Risen Star Stakes (10th out of 12 horses as the favorite). He got back on track with a second-place finish in the Grade I Blue Grass Stakes, albeit with a below-par final speed figure (97) for this upcoming event. Perhaps that's a signal his troubled times are behind him, but his wins have only occurred when he has been loose on the lead, something unlikely to happen Saturday. – – – No. 13 Publisher (20-1) Trainer: Steven M. Asmussen This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr. Publisher's pedigree combines American Pharoah's proven stamina – which won the sire a Triple Crown – with Proud Citizen's influence, suggesting classic potential. Yet this colt is 0 for 7 for his career, failing to win races ranging in distance from seven furlongs to 1⅛ miles. Only 12 maidens have run in the Kentucky Derby since 1937, and if Publisher manages to win, he would become the fourth maiden to do so, following Buchanan (1884), Sir Barton (1919) and Brokers Tip (1933). – – – No. 14 Tiztastic (20-1) Trainer: Steven M. Asmussen Jockey: Joel Rosario Tiztastic, a dark bay colt by Tiz the Law out of Keesha (by Tapit), brings a notable blend of speed and stamina to his Kentucky Derby aspirations. His victory in the Grade II Louisiana Derby showcased his ability to handle longer distances and competitive fields. Unfortunately, Tapit has never produced a Derby winner, and Asmussen is 0 for 26 with Derby contenders, although he does have three second-place finishes and two thirds. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. – – – No. 15 Render Judgment (30-1) Trainer: Kenneth G. McPeek Jockey: Julien Leparoux Render Judgment doesn't appear fast enough to compete in this race – his lifetime high Brisnet speed figure is 96, well short of the 103 typically needed to win races of this caliber – and his fifth-place finish in the Grade I Blue Grass Stakes, even at steep odds, indicates he may struggle against stronger contenders. – – – No. 16 Coal Battle (30-1) Trainer: Lonnie Briley Jockey: Juan P. Vargas Coal Battle gained attention with a win in the Grade II Rebel Stakes; however, his Brisnet final speed figure in his next race, the Grade I Arkansas Derby, declined by five points. You want to back a colt in improving or peaking form at the Kentucky Derby, not one that took a sizable step back in his final prep race.

Photo by Andy Lyons / Getty Images North America No. 17 Sandman (6-1) Trainer: Mark Casse Jockey: José L. Ortiz Sandman's pedigree, featuring Tapit and Distorted Humor, suggests he has the stamina and class to excel in the Kentucky Derby, and he emerged as a serious contender with his victory in the Grade I Arkansas Derby. Thanks in part to a fast pace in that race, he launched a rally around the far turn and stayed on strong to prevail by 2½ lengths. He also achieved a career-best Brisnet final speed figure (101), albeit under favorable conditions. – – – No. 18 Sovereignty (5-1) Trainer: William I. Mott Jockey: Junior Alvarado Sovereignty's pedigree includes notable sires such as Empire Maker (the grandsire of 2015 Triple Crown winner American Pharoah), Seeking the Gold (who sired 91 stakes winners, including five champions) and Seattle Slew (who won the Triple Crown in 1977), indicating strong genetic potential for classic distances. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. – – – No. 19 Chunk of Gold (30-1) Trainer: Ethan W. West Jockey: Jareth Loveberry Chunk of Gold has a closing running style but has not won on dirt in two tries. He has, however, nabbed two second-place finishes at odds of 10-1 and 40-1 in his past two starts. Perhaps that means he is an overachiever ready to take a spot among the top four, but he seems overmatched by this field. – – – No. 20 Owen Almighty (30-1) Trainer: Brian Lynch Jockey: Javier Castellano Owen Almighty, by Speightstown, was initially pulled from Kentucky Derby contention after finishing sixth in the Grade I Blue Grass Stakes in early April. But his ownership had a change of heart and decided to make a run for the roses after all. Owen Almighty's pedigree is balanced enough for a classic win, even if his résumé suggests he should be overmatched. Sunshine Girls Sunshine Girls Toronto Maple Leafs Canada World
