Rock Legend Stevie Nicks, 77, Cancels Tour Dates Due to Medical Emergency
Rock Legend Stevie Nicks, 77, Cancels Tour Dates Due to Medical Emergency originally appeared on Parade. Fans 'love to love' the Fleetwood Mac hit 'Rhiannon,' but they love to love the iconic singer songwriter even more. Stevie Nicks, 77, is the undisputed ' Queen of Rock and Roll ' for her supernaturally good songwriting and singing abilities, but when it comes to physical injury she is, it turns out, only human. On Friday her official Instagram posted that Nicks would be canceling her August and September tour dates 'due to a recent injury resulting in a fractured shoulder that will require recovery time.' All of the canceled concerts, which span nine cities including Boston, Toronto and Brooklyn, will be rescheduled. According to her Instagram, Nicks will resume her concert schedule on Wednesday, October 1st in Portland, Oregon. Fans flocked to the comments to send healing wishes to the rock and roll royal, with many commenting on the jump scare the message had given them. '[N]ever make a post format like this again i was going to pee myself,' wrote one fan. Another commented, 'Whoever is running this Instagram, DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN PLEASE. Love you Stevie.' A third added, 'I damn near passed out. We love you Stevie. Take care of yourself.' One of many sympathetic fans wrote, 'Get well soon Queen, sending hugs and love.' The beloved rock and roll icon is known for her passion for her music and commitment to her fans, which shines through in the announcement, which focuses on her speedy return to what she loves most. In an interview in 2020 after a bad bout of COVID, Nicks was asked what it would mean to her if she had to stop singing. 'It would kill me,' she said simply. 'It isn't just singing; it's that I would never perform again, that I would never dance across the stages of the world again.' 'I'm not, at 72 years old, willing to give up my career,' Nicks said in that 2020 interview. So fans can rest assured that come COVID or a fractured shoulder, or anything else the universe sends her way, the Queen of Rock has no intention of taking off her crown any time soon.

Pam Bondi sidelined by sudden medical condition after bombshell report claims AG told Trump he was in Epstein files
Pam Bondi abruptly canceled her appearance at a high-profile anti-trafficking summit on Wednesday, citing a sudden medical emergency. The attorney general - who has been under siege over the Epstein files - was scheduled to appear at CPAC's Summit Against Human Trafficking when a speaker at the event made the stunning announcement. 'I do have a note from the attorney general, from Attorney General Pam Bondi, that I wanted to share,' Acting Assistant Attorney General Matthew R. Galeotti said. He then read her statement aloud: 'I'm sorry to miss all of my CPAC friends today...' 'Unfortunately, I am recovering from a recently torn cornea, which is preventing me from being with you. I truly wish I was able to join you and support all of the work being done on this critical issue.' At the conclusion of the statement, Galeotti laughed nervously as scattered applause came from the audience. 'We appreciate the applause for her and not boos for me,' he joked. 'So I will do my best to fill those big shoes.' Several people can be seen walking out of the conference after it was revealed the attorney general would not be speaking. The Department of Justice did not provide any further information about Bondi's condition. Her injury came just hours after a bombshell report claimed she personally informed President Trump that his name appeared 'multiple times' in the Jeffrey Epstein files. Bondi's appearance at the CPAC summit was highly-anticipated given her central role in the administration's long-promised disclosures about the billionaire pedophile. Adding to the intrigue, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that Bondi had informed President Trump in May that his name appeared more frequently than expected in the trove of sealed Epstein files. Bondi had warned Trump that while the documents included 'unverified hearsay,' they also contained child pornography and sensitive victim information. She also advised against further public releases, the WSJ said. The Journal's report directly contradicts Trump's public statements about the drama surrounding the Epstein files. On July 15, when asked whether his name came up in a briefing with Bondi about the Epstein records, Trump replied bluntly: 'No, no.' He described the meeting as 'just a very quick briefing,' and accused former FBI Director James Comey of 'making up' the contents of the files. Trump's communications director, Steven Cheung, slammed the Journal's reporting as 'fake news,' responding to the Daily Mail in a statement. 'The fact is that the President kicked [Epstein] out of his club for being a creep,' Cheung said. 'This is nothing more than a continuation of the fake news stories concocted by the Democrats and the liberal media, just like the Obama Russiagate scandal, which President Trump was right about.' But the Journal's reporting was backed by multiple senior officials, who said Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche briefed Trump as part of a 'routine meeting.' The Journal also noted that Bondi recommended withholding additional Epstein documents due to their inclusion of graphic material and potential privacy violations. 'They turned out to be child porn downloaded by that disgusting Jeffrey Epstein,' Bondi said at a July 8 cabinet meeting. 'Never going to be released, never going to see the light of day.' Bondi's explanation has done little to quell outrage particularly from Trump's MAGA base, which has grown increasingly hostile towards over what they see as stall tactics and contradictions. Her promise earlier this year on Fox News that she had the Epstein 'client list' on her desk proved hollow, as the long-awaited 'Phase I' release offered no significant revelations. A leaked DOJ-FBI memo later revealed that no such 'client list' had ever been located in agency files. The backlash has ignited conspiracies of a cover-up and infighting within pro-Trump circles. Calls to release everything have grown louder, and some prominent MAGA influencers have demanded Bondi's resignation. The administration's failure to deliver on the campaign promise of transparency in the Epstein case is becoming a political flashpoint. Trump has had recent beef with the Wall Street Journal, threatening to sue the publication and its owner Rupert Murdoch for publishing last week a piece claiming he sent Epstein a 50th birthday card with a hand-drawn outline of a naked women. The paper claims that Trump wrote in the card's note: 'May every day be another wonderful secret.' 'I never wrote a picture in my life. I don't draw pictures of women,' Trump fired back when asked if he transmitted such a card. 'It's not my language. It's not my words.' Legal experts say such a defamation lawsuit would be difficult to win, but the threat underscores the president's rising frustration with how the Epstein story is dominating headlines - and damaging his team's credibility.

Wimbledon match suspended twice on Centre Court due to medical emergency before Taylor Fritz left bleeding from injury
A WIMBLEDON match on Centre Court was halted TWICE in the same game for a medical emergency in the crowd and a bloody injury. American No1 Taylor Fritz took on Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the opening match on the main show court on Friday. 3 3 3 But early in the second set, play was suspended with Fritz serving at 2-1 up. It is understood a fan was taken ill. The spectator was helped by being given water and an umbrella put up to protect them from the sun. The chair umpire used his phone to speak to Wimbledon officials as the two players waited on the court. Play got back underway after four-and-a-half minutes once the supporter had been taken out of the stadium. But in the very same game, the match was suspended again. That was because Fritz attempted an acrobatic dive but re-opened a cut on his right elbow as blood poured down his arm. The Californian suffered the initial injury in his previous match and he had to have a medical time-out when break point down to get the blood cleared up. Thankfully, he was all patched up and able to continue. And it meant that when he eventually held serve, the game had lasted for a whopping 18 minutes. Wimbledon ball kid removed from court as umpire is forced to ask for help
