Music icon Stevie Wonder said that as long as he's alive, he will continue to perform and create music, stating, "I'm not gonna stop the gift that keeps pouring through my body," according to People. Music icon Stevie Wonder said that as long as he's alive, he will continue to perform and create music, stating, "I'm not gonna stop the gift that keeps pouring through my body," according to People. "For as long as you breathe, for as long as your heart beats, there's more for you to do," said Wonder. He added that "an artist doesn't stop drawing just because." Instead, "you keep on. So as long as you can imagine, as long as you are going to be creative, and as long as you let your mind work, you don't have to retire." Wonder, who released his debut studio album when he was 12 years old, said that even to this day, "I love playing music, that's like my mantra. I think I can do all the stuff I want to do - still have fun and do what I need to do - but I'm not going to stop the gift that keeps pouring through my body," reported People. He added, "I love doing what I'm doing." When it comes to his many successes, like "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours," "Superstition," and "I Just Called to Say I Love You," the 25-time Grammy winner has no trouble performing them repeatedly. "Songs are like children, they're with you forever," he said, explaining that "they are statements from the spirit within you, and singing those songs is like me taking another breath," reported People. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Wonder, who made a surprise performance at the 2025 Met Gala, is currently slated to play his many hits around the country with Sing Your Song! As We Fix Our Nation's Broken Heart tour, which has upcoming stops planned for Pittsburgh, New York City and Atlanta, as per the outlet. Before that he was most recently playing live onstage in the United Kingdom for the Love, Light & Song UK Tour. It was during a July stop at Blackweir Fields in Cardiff, Wales, the singer made headlines after he joked about rumors that he can actually see. "I must say to all of you, something that I was thinking: 'When did I want to let the world know this?' But I wanted to say it right now," Wonder began. "You know, there have been rumours about me seeing and all that?" "But seriously, you know the truth. Truth is, shortly after my birth, I became blind," he continued. "Now, that was a blessing because it's allowed me to see the world in the vision of truth, of sight. See people in the spirit of them, not how they look. Not what color they are, but what color is their spirit?," reported People.

Stevie Wonder wows huge crowd with hit-filled performance in Cardiff as he closes Blackweir Live gigs
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Away from all the controversies about the use of Blackweir in Cardiff for gigs, on Wednesday night I consider myself incredibly lucky to have been one of the tens of thousands to be standing in a park I love, in the my home city, listening to the absolute icon that is Stevie Wonder playing some of his classics just metres away from me. He is a global superstar with more accolades my word count will allow me to list, and he was right here on my doorstep, and what a night it was. The sun was shining, the venue was packed and he performed hit after hit after hit. Earlier in the week, as I was cooking dinner I'd asked Alexa to "play Stevie Wonder". For the next hour, every single song that came on was a classic, and seeing most of them live a few days later? Well, that's bucket list stuff. From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What's On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here . The 75-year-old performed for more than two hours - coming on stage just after 8pm, ending around 10pm, telling the crowd he "had to". Given half the chance, I reckon he'd have carried on, because I can't remember a gig I've seen where the artist was so clearly enjoying every minute. Coming on stage, guided by two of his children, he explained this night was all along the theme of Love, Light & Song - and drew attention to the importance of his outfit choice, a diamante studded jacket - with Martin Luther King on one side and Gandhi on the other. (Image: John Myers) He opened with Love's in Need of Love Today - a sentiment he explained was as important today as it was when released in 1976 and closed with As in between? Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours; Sir Duke and You Are My Sunshine, were highlights. He was presented, mid-show, with an honorary fellowship of the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, and gave an impassioned speech about his life with sight loss. He told the crowd, "the truth is, shortly after my birth I became blind. That was a blessing because it allowed me to see the world in a vision of trust, see people in the spirit of them, not how they look, not what colour they are, but their spirits". The audience sang, boogied, swayed, and it was amazing to see the variety of ages of people there. Those who have been around for some if not all his career which started in 1962, right through to those much younger who have presumably fallen for the soul singer later in his career. He was joined on stage by his son, and support act Corinne Bailey Rae, they were the only relative breaks he took in the whole set. An impressive feat in a performance that was soulful, full of spirit and little short of beautiful. This was the last of the gigs at Blackweir, although the row over the use of the public land for gigs rumbles on, but the reviews I'd heard beforehand that it was a well organised event were true when it came to getting in, but I would say if they return, I think there's some work to do on the logistics. Downloading tickets has been a problem throughout the series as people struggled to get signal. The area we were in was packed, with huge bar queues, and our plan to eat was scuppered when we saw the massive queues there too. (Image: John Myers) Getting out was a slow affair, with relatively narrow lanes for pedestrians to exit. But even then, you can't say it ruined a night that is one which I'll never forget. A friend said to me as we left 'it was once in a lifetime, wasn't it?" and I can't disagree.

Josh Allen goes full 'Wolf of Wall Street' at 3AM wedding bash (Image via Getty) NFL superstar Josh Allen turned a wedding celebration into a Hollywood-level spectacle, jumping on stage during his after-party and shouting one of cinema's most iconic lines—just like Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street. The moment capped a high-octane night during his wedding weekend with actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld, turning the elegant affair into something legendary. Guests watched in awe as Allen broke into the unexpected outburst late into the night. And just like that, the party reached its wildest peak. From vows to viral– A night that escalated fast The energy had been building for hours, with music thumping and guests crowding the dance floor. Josh Allen, clearly feeding off the late-night hype, made his way to the stage near the live band. With a mic in hand and a grin on his face, he gave zero warning before launching into the line. The entire venue exploded with laughter, cheers, and phones sneaking up despite the ban. 'I'm not leaving… I'm not f!#%ing leaving!'— Josh Allen, quoting The Wolf of Wall Street during the 3 a.m. after-party moment. Held on May 31 at the exclusive San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, the ceremony was intimate and elegant. Soft candlelight, lush white florals, and a no-phone policy kept things romantic and personal. The morning started with lemon ricotta pancakes—Hailee's favorite—breaking tradition sweetly. But as night fell, the tone shifted from serene to electric. A hidden after-party kicked off around midnight, featuring a DJ, cigar bar, and poolside lounge. Classic snacks like grilled cheese, cookies, and milk shots gave it a playful, nostalgic feel. NFL teammates and celebrity guests got rowdy, jumping into the pool fully dressed. Then came Allen's unscripted Belfort impression—turning the night cinematic. "Pure Josh energy": Hailee's favorite wedding moment A ccording to Hailee, that Wolf of Wall Street line summed up Josh's fearless, magnetic vibe. She described it as 'pure Josh energy,' and said it became her favorite memory of the night. The crowd erupted, the music soared, and it felt like something out of a movie. It captured his humor, spontaneity, and big-game presence—off the field. The wedding also featured deeply personal touches: Stevie Wonder's 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered' as their exit song, a spontaneous thunderclap during vows, and handwritten notes exchanged before the ceremony. Every detail was tailored to reflect who they are—romantic but never boring. And in that moment, Allen proved he's more than an athlete—he's an experience. Allen wore a sleek Tom Ford tuxedo, while Hailee stunned in a Tamara Ralph corseted gown. Her sheer gloves, pearl accents, and cathedral-length veil added timeless glamor. They looked like stars on a red carpet but stayed grounded in joy and authenticity. It was fashion, fun, and football royalty—all in one unforgettable night. Also read: Is this the new Travis Kelce?

'Ugly Betty' star Eric Mabius arrested for battery after altercation at Florida bar
Eric Mabius, known for his roles in Hallmark's Signed, Sealed, Delivered and Ugly Betty, was arrested early Thursday morning in Yulee, Florida, on charges of simple battery and resisting arrest. .According to an arrest record obtained by Fox News Digital, the incident occurred around 2 a.m. at a Nassau County bar, where Mabius allegedly knocked two women to the ground during a confrontation. One of the women, who was intoxicated, was reportedly bothering patrons when Mabius pushed her to the floor, along with a woman she had allegedly been harassing. The situation escalated when Mabius allegedly climbed on top of one of the women, pulling a handful of her hair. Multiple bystanders intervened, pulling both Mabius and the intoxicated woman off the victim. A witness also reported being spat on by the intoxicated woman, adding to the chaos. The woman Mabius allegedly assaulted expressed her desire to press charges, leading to both Mabius and the intoxicated woman being arrested for simple battery. As officers attempted to bring Mabius outside the bar, he became increasingly belligerent and resisted commands, prompting deputies to arrest him for resisting arrest without violence. Mabius, who appeared with a black eye in his mug shot, faces two misdemeanor charges in connection with the altercation.
