Bantams photos on display to celebrate promotion
Photographs taken while Bradford City were last in the top tier of English football have gone on display to celebrate the club's recent promotion. Renowned social documentary photographer Ian Beesley added the images to his exhibition at Salts Mill in Saltaire after the club secured League One status. He took the black and white photos while he was artist in residence for the club after they gained promotion to the FA Carling Premiership in 1999. For two seasons, the lifelong supporter took pictures of fans as they watched their team compete against the best football sides in the country. Discussing his time as club artist in residence, the 71-year-old from Bradford said: "I was given an access all areas pass, I thought I'd landed my dream job. "How wrong I was - I found the transition from fan to photographer, spectator to observer, unbearably difficult." He added: "I really didn't enjoy the experience." After two seasons in the top flight, Bradford City were relegated and he handed in his pass and returned to the stands - where he has "stayed put" ever since. He was with his daughter Fay at Valley Parade earlier this month when a last-gasp winner ended the Bantams' six-year stay in League Two. "Every couple of months we put a new section in to keep the exhibition current," Beesley said. "Ever since it looked like the Bantams might be going up I've been planning to add these images to the walls at Salts Mill. "I refused to jinx it by installing them too early, being a football fan I'm always a bit pessimistic." The Life Goes On exhibition at Salts Mill runs until 31 December.

Bruce Springsteen reveals he still gets stage fright ahead of performance
Music legend Bruce Springsteen , who has been feted with 20 Grammy Awards and more than 140 million records sold, said that despite his 50-plus-year career, he "always" gets a bit nervous before going onstage.. "(It's) what I call anticipatory anxiety . You're about to test yourself physically, emotionally, spiritually," Springsteen said on The Hollywood Reporter's Awards Chatter podcast, reports "Every night you're going to call on all those parts of your personality and you're going to relive them and be as alive as you can be, which is, I believe that's what the audience pays for, how alive you can be on any given night, more than what song you're singing or what song you don't sing." Springsteen has long been known for his energetic sets, which can sometimes last more than four hours. Once he gets rocking, his anxiety mostly dissipates, he explained.

So there's always some anticipation before I go out on stage, which pretty much disappears the minute I count in the band," he said. The singer currently has 16 European shows coming up, starting in May and running through July. In August, he balked at the idea of ever slowing things down after more than five decades with his E Street Band . BTS unveils the title of their lead single 'Life Goes On' "We ain't doing no farewell tour. Jesus Christ. No farewell tour for the E Street Band!" he told the crowd during a performance in Philadelphia. "Hell no... Farewell to what? Thousands of people screaming your name? Yeah, I wanna quit that," Springsteen added. "That's it. That's all it takes. I ain't goin' anywhere." Guitarist Steven Van Zandt also shut down retirement talk during a conversation with The Telegraph in July 2024, explaining that stepping back is not in the cards. "I don't see the end anywhere in sight, to be honest, especially in Europe, where we're bigger than we've ever been," he said. "I think we can play every summer for evermore, man."
