Legendary Artist Performed at Live Aid in Two Different Cities and Got ‘Caught in a Toxic, Dysfunctional Web of Led Zeppelin'
Legendary Artist Performed at Live Aid in Two Different Cities and Got 'Caught in a Toxic, Dysfunctional Web of Led Zeppelin' originally appeared on Parade. Perhaps no look back at Live Aid on its 40th anniversary is complete without focusing on the herculean task of on July 13, 1985. The Genesis singer-drummer and solo artist was the only artist to play the historic fund-raising concert in both London and Philadelphia. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Amazingly, Collins first performed and played drums for and in London at Wembley Stadium and then he traveled by helicopter to Heathrow Airport from where he flew on the Concorde to New York City and then jumped on another helicopter to Philadelphia. Once in Philly, he performed a solo set and played drums with and the reunited Led Zeppelin. With Sting in London, the Police singer started his set with two Police songs, 'Roxanne' and 'Driven to Tears' before Collins joined to perform his hit 'Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now,' the Police's 'Message in a Bottle,' Collins' 'In the Air Tonight' and 'Long Long Way to Go,' and the Police's 'Every Breath You Take.' At JFK Stadium in Philadelphia, Collins did his own two-song solo set consisting of 'Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)' and 'In the Air Tonight,' then backed Clapton on the Cream song 'White Room,' Clapton's 'She's Waiting' and Derek and the Dominos' 'Layla.' But he wasn't done. He also backed Led Zeppelin's , and on a three-song set featuring 'Rock and Roll,' 'Whole Lotta Love' and 'Stairway to Heaven.' Drummer was also on hand because apparently it took two drummers to fill the shoes of the late . 'It's just great to be part of something like this,' Collins told reporters backstage at the Wembley show, per Music Radar. Later, he was interviewed in the Concorde's cockpit while in transit, Collins said, 'Basically the reason I'm doing this is because it can be done. It's good fun isn't it?' However, Collins would later have second thoughts. Initially, Plant, Page and Collins were possibly going to perform, but it eventually turned into a full-scale Led Zeppelin reunion. ''You, me and Jimmy maybe doing something together' had become the second coming of history's greatest rock band. This is a development for which I am blissfully ignorant. Robert hasn't called, so I don't know that John Paul Jones is coming too. All of a sudden, it's Led Zeppelin,' Collins said. He went on to further detail the experience in his 2016 autobiography, Not Dead Yet. 'I didn't come here to play with Led Zeppelin, I came here to play with a friend of mine who has morphed back into being the singer of Led Zeppelin -- a very different animal to the one that invited me,' Collins wrote. 'Now I'm caught up in the ceaselessly toxic, dysfunctional web of Led Zeppelin interpersonal relationships' Collins admitted he knew things weren't going well during the short set. 'I know the wheels are falling off from early on in the set," Collins wrote in his book. 'I can't hear Robert clearly from where I'm sat, but I can hear enough to know that he's not on top of his game. Ditto Jimmy." Despite the honor of playing the gig and making history that day, Collins admitted it ended on a sour note. 'If I could have left that stage, I would have left, half-way through 'Stairway,' if not earlier,' he wrote.

Is this the most inappropriate wedding outfit ever? Aussie model shocks as she wears sheer outfit and see-through underwear to Sting's daughter's nuptials in Sicily
An Aussie model threatened to steal the spotlight at the wedding of Sting's daughter Fuchsia Kate Sumner and her long-time partner Max Wright over the weekend. The happy couple tied the knot in Italy with an extravagant three-day ceremony in the Sicilian town of Noto. And while many guests were enraptured with the blushing bride, some couldn't take their eyes off Nicole Trunfio, who arrived in a very racy, sheer ensemble. The brunette beauty left little to the imagination as she flaunted her figure in a completely see-through black outfit. Her black underwear could be seen underneath as it sat high on her hips, with the frock also featuring a daring, low-cut neckline. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The completely see-through stockings clung to Nicole's figure and she finished off the look with strappy black heels. Her jewellery included a large gold ring and a huge cross secured around her neck with a black tie. Nicole added a classic leopard print clutch from Alexander McQueen to her ensemble—a designer bag which can be found secondhand for upwards of $1,400. The model finished her look with natural makeup, preferring to let her genetically blessed features shine through, and added a wave to her dark tresses. Meanwhile, Sting's daughter, who goes by Kate, looked stunning in a lace bridal gown as she kissed her groom during their extravagant pre-wedding street bash on Friday. Kate married Max in a glamorous three-day celebration in the Sicilian town of Noto over the weekend. The actress and director tied the knot with Max, a creative director in the arts and tech space, in front of family and close friends. Pictures showed the nepo baby having the time of her life with her then-fiancé before they tied the knot the morning after. On day one, guests enjoyed a street party complete with an Italian marching band and tucked into local fare including freshly baked Italian breads and aperitivo. In the evening, they attended a special performance of Una Serenata!—'A Serenade' in Italian—at the Teatro Comunale Tina di Lorenzo to celebrate local Sicilian traditions. Kate wore a white lace mermaid gown by Maison Valentino with a high neck and open back, while Max opted for a terracotta shirt and trousers. Family in attendance included Sting and his wife Trudie Styler, and Kate's older brother, musician Joe Sumner, 48, who at one point treated guests to live performances on his guitar. Kate, whose mother is Sting's first wife, the Northern Irish actress Frances Tomelty, was also joined by her half-siblings who are Sting's children with second wife Trudie. They include actress Mickey, 41—the maid of honour—musician and actor Eliot, 34, filmmaker Jake, 40, and actor Giacomo, 29. The next day brought the main event—but not without a near wardrobe disaster. For one of his outfits, Max realised the only shoelaces he had for his £720 beige Prada shoes were black. With no white laces to hand, a quick-thinking guest—American fashion stylist Erica Cloud—improvised by pulling the string from a shoe bag and threading it through his shoes. Crisis averted, the wedding ceremony took place and was held outdoors against a crimson and ivory floral backdrop. Kate wore a beautiful off-the-shoulder embroidered tulle gown with her initials embroidered on, while Max donned a light grey suit. After they exchanged vows, green and pink smoke flares shot up into the sky as they had their first kiss as husband and wife. The newlyweds then walked through the city with a beaming Kate holding their smartly dressed one-year-old son. At the reception, Sting delivered a show-stopping speech that was both heartfelt and hilarious. He joked about his early impressions of Max, unsure of what to make of the man after his daughter's heart, but quickly realised he was, in fact, 'a lovely chap'. Guests were in stitches but also, at times, in tears as the music icon described how happy he was for his daughter to have found the love of her life. Sister Mickey, who was joined by her new fiance Carter B Smith and her son from her previous marriage to tech CEO Chris Kantrowitz, also gave a speech during the reception—referring to Kate as 'the most beautiful bride'. Kate later described it as 'the best speech ever.' Her sibling Eliot, whose string of roles in Hollywood films include a security guard in the latest James Bond film, No Time To Die, was joined by their glamorous girlfriend, Mollie Davis. Eliot, who is non-binary, started dating the divorced mother-of-two last year after splitting from British aristocratic model Frankie Herbert, granddaughter of the 7th Earl of Carnarvon. Other guests included British film director Charlotte Colbert and her artist husband Philip Colbert, DJ Mia Moretti—who played a late-night set—and music label boss Henri Behrmann. The dinner, which took place at Dimora delle Balze—the same venue that hosted Italian influencer Chiara Ferragni and Fedez's 2018 wedding—was laid out on candlelit banquet tables. Guests dined on pasta, ciabatta, fresh fish, lobster and vegetables and toasted the couple underneath elegant fairy lights. After dinner, they danced late into the night to a soundtrack of Stevie Wonder classics including I Wish and disco favourites. Day three saw guests enjoy a final day of celebration, starting with 'a master blaster BBQ' to help cure hangovers from the night before. It featured a multi-layered barbeque station with chicken, fresh fruit and vegetables. Noto Mayor Corrado Figura blessed the festivities, meeting Sting on his arrival in the historic centre. He posed for a photo with the star, writing on social media: 'It was a great honour to welcome Sting, a global music icon, to the wedding of his daughter Fuschia Katherine Sumner and her partner Maximillian Wright, right here in the heart of Sicilian Baroque.' The mayor presented Sting with a book dedicated to Noto, calling it 'a small gift to thank him for sharing such an important moment for his family with us.' He added: 'Thank you to Fuschia, Maximillian and Sting for choosing Noto. Our city is proud to be part of this wonderful love story.' Kate and Max announced their engagement two years ago and Kate threw her hen's party last month—where she and her pals tucked into fried chicken and danced around in wigs. Friends describe Max as 'low-key, charming and utterly devoted'—a sentiment echoed in speeches throughout the wedding weekend.
