Ben Lee on mistakes, longevity and the power of pop music
Ben Lee is responsible for some of the most ubiquitous Australian songs of the last two decades ('Catch My Disease', 'We're All In This Together', and 'Cigarettes Will Kill You'). His breakthrough fifth album Awake Is The New Sleep turns 20 this year, and he's on The Music Show to reflect on career longevity (forming his first band at 14), what he's learned from joining (and leaving) cults, and why he spends so much time playing gigs in regional Australia these days. 2022 Classical Freedman Fellow Katie Yap's prize project Multitudes has seen Katie improvising, composing and performing with four unique collaborators. Ahead of its latest performances in Brisbane, a chance to hear this conversation with Katie about how birds, poetry and collaboration have informed her work. Katie Yap performs four concerts 24 - 26 July at VENTSpace, South Brisbane. Find out more at this link. Ben Lee is touring Australia throughout September and October. Dates and details here.

Tina Turner musical star sacked for performing with the Rolling Stones wins bitter legal fight
A STAR of the Tina Turner musical sacked for performing with the Rolling Stones has won a bitter legal fight. Chanel Haynes, 46, injured her wrist falling through a stage door while playing the singer in London's West End. 4 Star of Tina Turner musical Chanel Haynes has won a bitter legal battle 4 She was sacked for performing with Mick Jagger's band the Rolling Stones Credit: Getty 4 Haynes said her injuries did not prevent her from performing with the Stones Credit: Getty Two months later in June 2022 she travelled to Milan to Ms Haynes launched a county court claim for compensation, saying her sprained wrist and an earlier knee injury were made worse by 'extreme movement' in the three-hour shows. By contrast, she was fine performing with the Stones, telling the London court: 'That was not a factor in going on stage with 80-year-old men. There was nothing physically stressful'. Ms Haynes had suffered a cut to her left knee after striking it on a spotlight in December 2021. READ MORE ON TINA TURNER She then fell through a trap door in April 2022, hurting her right wrist. She said she'd struggled to hold a microphone and it had affected her family life. She hit back at accusations of dishonesty, telling the county court judge: 'I swore on the bible that I was injured and I had difficulty.' Asked about posts showing her moving apparently without difficulty on stage after the accidents, Ms Haynes said her social media meant to project resilience. She accepted ditching the musical in June 2022 so she could travel to Milan to sing Gimme Shelter with Jagger. Most read in Music Show records indicate she took sick leave to do so. Ms Haynes said: 'I thought they would be more than happy I took the brand of Tina Turner to the Rolling Stones. Tina Turner fans are only just realizing her iconic song Simply The Best is actually just called something different 'Why didn't I seek permission? I didn't think they would let me have that opportunity.' Tina producer Mark Rubinstein suspended her. She later posted his letter of dismissal. Show lawyers tried to get her case thrown out. Barrister Matthew Smith said: 'This is a dishonest exaggeration of the length and effect of those injuries.' He accused her of bringing her claim out of greed and to get back at Mr Rubinstein. Ms Haynes hit back: 'Mr Rubinstein was not the kindest person to me but I've dealt with much worse.' District Judge Ian Greenidge found in Ms Haynes' favour. But he reduced her damages to £3,000, saying she should have followed doctors' advice to take time off. The musical must pay £10,400 in legal costs. 4 Ms Haynes pictured leaving court after her legal victory Credit: Peter Jordan
