‘He was a creative force': Lead singer of '60s psychedelic rock legends dead at 82
James Lowe, frontman of '60s psych-rock icons The Electric Prunes, who were best known for their Top 10 hit 'I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night,' has died, aged 82, according to published reports. Lowe, who went on to a successful career as an engineer and producer, working with such artists as Sparks and Todd Rundgren, died on May 22, his family reported, according to Variety. Lowe left the music industry in the early '70s and eventually found a second act in the world of industrial filmmaking, according to Variety. Lowe reunited the Prunes in the late 1990s and continued to perform through the end of his life, according to Variety. In a statement, Lowe's family said the singer 'passed away ... from natural causes - suddenly, yet peacefully - surrounded by family and music.' Lowe leaned into the wave of nostalgia for his old combo band that only seemed to heighten in recent years. He performed for an adoring crowd in Los Angeles at a 'Nuggets' tribute show in 2023 ('I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night' was the kickoff song to that classic garage-rock compilation). He also recently gave retrospective interviews for a series of rock podcasts, according to Variety. 'James left this world peacefully - his heart giving one final electric beat, surrounded by the loving embrace of his family and enveloped by the sounds of his favorite music,' his children Lisa, Cameron, and Skylar said in a statement, according to Variety. 'He was a creative force, a rock star without pretense, and someone who lived and loved fully. But the most important ingredient to James' life was his 62-year marriage to Pamela, his guiding star and enduring muse for all things. … James was a visionary, a dreamer, a doer who never stopped creating, exploring, lifting others up - or believing in what's possible,' his family said.

Off-colour Leinster advance into URC semi-finals with win over Scarlets
Leinster were not at their best but they had enough in the tank to see off Scarlets with a 33-21 victory in the BKT URC quarter-final at the Aviva Stadium. Defending champions Glasgow Warriors are Dublin bound next week after the top seeds capitalised on Alec Hepburn and Vaea Fifita's second-half sin-binnings to win in front of a disappointing crowd of 12,879. Advertisement In their first play-offs appearance since 2018, Scarlets recovered brilliantly from conceding two early tries to only trail 15-14 at half-time. James Lowe and Jamison Gibson-Park both crossed before Tom Rogers replied from the visitors' first real opportunity. Blair Murray then cancelled out a Sam Prendergast penalty with a cracking counter-attacking try just before the break. However, Leo Cullen's men had the better of the closing half, with Jamie Osborne and player-of-the-match Hugo Keenan contributing tries, and Johnny Williams grabbing Scarlets' only response. Advertisement Lowe gave the hosts a fourth-minute lead, crossing out wide via a couple of partially-blocked passes from Keenan and captain Jack Conan. Lowe's soft hands then sent Conan through a gap, with the latter putting Gibson-Park in under the posts to make it 12-0. However, a 19th-minute lineout was the launchpad for Scarlets' recovery, winger Rogers finishing strongly from a deft Sam Costelow pass. The latter crisply converted. Well-organised defence, including a Joe Roberts turnover penalty, provided more inspiration for the visitors, who had young scrum-half Archie Hughes deputising for the injured Gareth Davies. Advertisement Despite Prendergast's 47-metre penalty, Ellis Mee hacked a dropped Leinster pass back downfield, and the electric Murray expertly dribbled away from Jordie Barrett to make it a one-point game. The Irish province, who lost Josh van der Flier to injury, only had themselves to blame as their decision-making was poor at times. Osborne's timely 45th-minute effort, from a Prendergast chip kick, steadied the ship at 22-14. TMO Andrew McMenemy's tight call on the grounding went the centre's way. Scarlets fell further behind by the hour mark, with a Costelow penalty miss following by prop Hepburn's yellow card for not rolling away. Leinster's experienced bench stepped up, a Dan Sheehan charge-down eventually leading to Keenan slaloming over from a Barrett assist. Williams reduced the arrears to 30-21 in the 70th minute, darting over after lovely work in the build-up from Fifita and Marnus van der Merwe. Fifita's subsequent yellow for a high tackle on Keenan was a killer blow though, and Prendergast clipped over the clinching penalty.

Credit: Sam Barnes/Sportsfile via Getty Images This afternoon's Leinster vs Scarlets live stream serves up a United Rugby Championship quarter-final with shades of David vs Goliath. The top-seeded Irish province is the superclub that has it all, while the plucky Llanelli outfit is the sole bright spark in Welsh rugby. Below we have all the information on how to watch Leinster vs Scarlets from anywhere. Advertisement There's no fixture more menacing than Leinster at Aviva Stadium, but for all of the superstars and finances at Leo Cullen's disposal, there's a narrative building around the club – and it isn't flattering. Much like PSG during the basketcase years, Leinster is becoming a byword for waste. A team with the likes of James Lowe, Jamison Gibson-Park, Jordie Barrett, Andrew Porter, Ronan Kelleher and Joe McCarthy really ought to be dominating not only the United Rugby Championship but Europe. Instead, Leinster last lifted the URC title in 2021, and the Champions Cup in 2018. Scarlets' 35-22 victory over a second-string Leinster last month helped to inspire their playoff push. Skipper Gareth Davies broke the deadlock on that occasion but hasn't been able to recover from a rib injury, though it was flanker Taine Plumtree who ran the show. Dwayne Plumtree's men, however, are up against a very different Leinster today. Here's where to watch Leinster vs Scarlets live streams online from anywhere, potentially for FREE.

Off-colour Leinster see off Scarlets to set up URC semi-final with Glasgow
URC quarter-final: Leinster 33 Scarlets 21 An occasionally brittle Leinster will meet Glasgow next Saturday in the semi-final of the United Rugby Championship after they led from beginning to end against Welsh side Scarlets at the Aviva Stadium. Four tries, the first arriving after four minutes, gave Leinster a deserved win with Scarlets coming to within one point with a counterpunch try just before the break. Leinster started with intent, their first entry into the Scarlets 22 within the first minute. Josh van der Flier, Jordie Barrett and James Ryan pounded the defence as the ball moved right to left. Finally, with the field stretched, Sam Prendergast whipped the ball wide with Hugo Keenan helping it along for James Lowe to run in the easiest of tries for 5-0. Within minutes a purposeful and accurate Leinster were pushing forward again. Moving through the phases and the gears, Ryan Baird made the initial bump through to make ground and with support coming up both sides in the middle of the field, it was scrumhalf Jamison Gibson-Park who romped in under the posts for 10-0, Prendergast converting to give Leinster a comfortable early lead. READ MORE How can the provinces break France's dominance? Listen | 29:52 But the young Scarlets team were not just in Dublin for the experience of being beaten by the top seeds and on 20 minutes moved the ball right to left across the pitch from their first attacking lineout. With Leinster players fanning across, a double-handed overhead pass from outhalf Sam Costelow to Tom Rogers allowed the right wing to cut back and wriggle over the line for a quick Welsh riposte, Costelow converting for 12-7. By the half-hour mark both sides were determined to keep the ball alive as play raced from end to end, with van der Flier departing and Scott Penny coming in for Leinster. Leinster's James Lowe fields a high ball under pressure from Scarlets' Ellis Mee. Photograph: Dan Sheridan/Inpho A penalty from just inside the Scarlet's half landed by Prendergast gave the 12,879 crowd something to cheer as Leinster again nudged ahead 15-7. But a misplaced kick from Prendergast that didn't find touch and Lowe went into touch on the full just invited Scarlets back into the game before a surging finish to the half saw Leinster press for a try only to be met with a sucker punch from Scarlets. Looking threatening and pressing the Scarlet's line, the pass back from Gibson-Park to Prendergast flew over the outhalf's head. He and Jordie Barrett turned and charged back towards their posts as an alert Blair Murray got to it first and kicked on. The fullback kicked a second time, controlling the ball beautifully into the Leinster danger zone where he touched down and Costelow converted for 15-14 to Leinster at the break. Rain replaced sunshine for the restart but there were no clouds hanging over Leinster. Straight into the go-forward mentality, they left little time for Scarlets to feel they had purchase on the game and from a Leinster scrum Gibson-Park fed Prendergast, who deftly chipped over for the running Jamie Osborne.

Costelow missed a Scarlets penalty to close the gap before pressure finally yielded reward for Leinster, when replacement Dan Sheehan blocked down a Welsh kick. Leinster then flooded the zone with the supporting Keenan floating on to the ball inside the Scarlets 22 to make it 27-14. Leinster looked safe enough, and with Prendergast making it 30-14 from a penalty it looked settled. But Scarlets' sting in the tail came less than 10 minutes from the end when Johnny Williams punched through and Ioan Lloyd converted for 30-21.
