I Didn't Expect Florence Pugh's Next Role To Be A Nurse In A Yungblud Music Video, But I'm So Here For The Sweet Reactions Its Getting From Healthcare Workers
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. As of late, Florence Pugh has become a blockbuster star, between her role as Yelena Belova in new Marvel movies, including the recent release of Thunderbolts* and being officially in the cast for Avengers: Doomsday, and she's also set to reprise her Dune role in Messiah the same weekend. So I wasn't expecting to see her as the star of a music video on a random Friday, but she proved she can make us cry in a role that last about four minutes, too. Yungblud is a British pop punk star who has been on the music scene since around 2018, but I think he can officially say he's made it now that he has Florence Pugh in one of his music videos. Check out the new video for 'Zombie': Wow, I totally understand why Florence Pugh not only signed on for this, but was thought about for 'Zombie.' It's not your average video starring a famous actress as a nurse; it's really taking viewers into the mindset of what it feels like to be a healthcare worker day by day, and how harrowing it can be to see so much death all the time. While we'd assume when Yungblud made the song that he was thinking about his own experiences with 'looking like a zombie,' he gave a new meaning to the song on his upcoming album called 'Zombie' by making it about a young nurse just trying to get through the day. Upon the release of 'Zombie,' the music video has been labeled as a 'love letter to nurses.' In Pugh's own commentary on the video on her Instagram Stories, she thanked the punk star for having her 'on your journey.' She said she will 'always be grateful for this moment and forever impressed' by what he does and 'why' he does it. The comment section of the Instagram announcement video is also flooded with healthcare workers thanking Yungblud and Pugh for making the video. Check out some of them: 'As a Healthcare worker. THIS is a true representation of our daily struggles. We laugh. We cry. We scream. What a beautiful video and anthem. Thank you Dom.' - @thejennorater 'As a healthcare worker who worked in critical care during the pandemic and witnessed so much death. Thank you for this. It truly hit home. Ugly crying by how beautiful this was.' - @missgio_ 'As an icu nurse, I felt every scene! Thank you 🖤💋' - @ 'As a nurse, thank you ❤️ This is a beautiful song and video.' - @katherinefruendt 'This video really highlights the intense ups and downs with being a nurse. As a nurse, thank you, this was lovely to watch 🥹🤍' - @adellaturay 'As a nurse this makes me feel so seen and appreciated🥹🖤 I love you so much, thank you🖤' - @ Sure, Florence Pugh is a lot more likely to show up in a sparkly dress on her usual day to day, but her talent to make us feel deeply is already touching so many who can relate to the content of the video. Pugh has already made us cry for her Thunderbolts role and playing a young mom with cancer in We Live In Time, and this new role for 'Zombie' is another great performance from Ms. Pugh.

Derby's market hall reopens after seven-year multi-million-pound renovation
Hundreds turned out to see Derby's new Market Hall, Mark Gough reports Derby's Market Hall has reopened after a seven-year £3.5-million renovation. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on Saturday morning (May 24th) - almost 159 years to the day since its original grand opening. Hundreds of people were seen queuing outside waiting to get inside the Grade II listed building. The Market Hall was officially declared open on 29 May, 1866 by Mayor Frederick Longdon, where the occasion was marked with an appropriate inaugural ceremony, including a performance of Handel's Messiah. The council said the transformed Market Hall will bring together the best of the region's independent shopping, eating, drinking, and entertainment, and will offer a variety of new features and experiences for visitors, such as: Stallholders were setting up for the first week of trading, which began today (May 26th). Previously, the Market Hall often had to close to customers if there was a chance of strong winds, snow, or heavy rain in case the glass windows came out of their frames. These windows have now been replaced, and the extensive structural restoration of the roof was finished in August 2022. The revitalised Market Hall has also been redesigned with accessibility and inclusion at its heart, making it an accessible building for all visitors. Leader of Derby City Council and Cabinet Member for City Centre, Regeneration, Strategy and Policy, Councillor Nadine Peatfield, said: "This is a historic moment for everyone in the city to be celebrated by all. "Derby Market Hall will be a flagship, vibrant destination that will attract visitors from across the region and beyond. I am truly excited for the opening event, and I know that visitors will enjoy everything that the revitalised Market Hall has to offer. Located at the heart of the city centre, linking Derbion and St Peter's Quarter with the Cathedral Quarter and Becketwell, the redeveloped Market Hall will play a key role in widening the diversity of the city centre and is expected to generate £3.64m for the local economy every year.

The city council has now confirmed that another ongoing project is nearing completion Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A CITY centre once dubbed 'neglected' re-opens its famous Market Hall after a £35m transformation investment. Visitors will see at first hand the results of the careful, multi-million-pound restoration, aimed at preserving the rich heritage of the Grade II-listed building. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 A city centre once dubbed 'neglected' re-opens the market hall after a £35m transformation investment Credit: Alamy 3 The doors to Derby's historic Market Hall will open today to the public 3 The new Market Hall will offer flagship dining, retail shopping and crafts that will showcase the very best of Derby, Derbyshire and the East Midlands The doors to Derby's historic Market Hall will open today to the public – almost 159 years to the day since its original grand opening. Market Hall was officially declared open on 29 May 1866, by Mayor Frederick Longdon when the occasion included a performance of Handel's Messiah. Offering flagship dining, retail shopping and craft ware that will showcase the very best of Derby, Derbyshire and the East Midlands - the new Market Hall wishes to become an event destination. The flexible venue space incorporates modern street food dining area and bars, traditional and contemporary retail units, and creative spaces for local artisan makers and traders. An ongoing programme of events, activities and entertainment is also planned to bring Market Hall to life throughout the week with regular themed markets, live music, DJs, and craft workshops. The majority of Osnabruck Square has been taken over by hoardings while the £35.1m refurbishment of Market Hall took place. But the city council has now confirmed that another ongoing project is nearing completion. The full reopening of Osnabruck Square, located outside Market Hall off Albert Street, has been set for later this summer. However, access to the Market Hall from Osnabruck Square will be maintained throughout the remainder of the works, the council has said. Hoardings around the square will be updated and repositioned, and the public will be able to see the progress of the square during the final stages of the project. The Viking Centre: Britain's first American-style mall faces demolition Once completed, the square will become a flexible area for events and entertainment, with outdoor café seating and artistic installations, aiming to provide a lively hub for local markets and homegrown talent. There will also be new benches being installed around a "flexible" events area, while raised beds, trees and shrubs will be installed to create "a vibrant green space", said the council. The square will also be the site of a new main entrance into Derby Market Hall. Nadine Peatfield, leader of Derby City Council and cabinet member for city centre, regeneration, strategy and policy, said: "The transformation of Osnabruck Square, together with the revitalised Market Hall, will breathe new life into this key city centre location. "The square will not only look beautiful but will also improve accessibility and help draw more people into the heart of our city. "This is the culmination of a great deal of hard work and planning, and I look forward to seeing the area become a vibrant destination for shopping, eating and entertainment." Despite this, locals were left gutted last year, after the council scrapped the iconic Market Place waterfall after promises for it to be returned. For the last half a decade the treasured waterfall has remained dry as a bone, and to the dismay of locals, Councillor Nadien Peatfield announced there were "no plans" to switch the waterfall back on. However, the council is hopeful that the redeveloped Market Hall will play a key role in widening the diversity of the city centre. The venture is predicted to generate £3.64 million for the local economy every year.
