Tenor Russell Watson awarded honorary degree by University of Greater Manchester
The singer, who has overcome two life-threatening brain tumours, was recognised for his outstanding contribution to music and the arts during a graduation ceremony for students from the Centre for Clinical and Biomedical Sciences. The classical crossover star was first diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2006 after experiencing blurred peripheral vision. The tumour was successfully removed during emergency surgery at St George's Hospital in Tooting, south London. A year later, a recurrence on his pituitary gland required a second emergency operation at the Alexandra Hospital in Cheadle, Greater Manchester. Watson, who was conferred the title of doctor of arts (Hon DArts) at the ceremony on Friday, said: 'This is such an honour, I am so proud to be standing here today. 'My health battles graphically highlighted to me the amazing job done by staff in our NHS. 'I would not be here today without their wonderful care and support. 'So it is fantastic to see the University of Greater Manchester's continued commitment to training the healthcare workforce of the future and its new Medical School which I understand will welcome its first students in September. 'I want others to receive the kind of life-saving treatment that I did, to give that gift of time for which I'm so grateful every day.' Watson underwent intensive rehabilitation, hormone replacement therapy and struggled with mental health challenges during his recovery. At one point, doctors feared he would never sing again. But he returned to the stage and rebuilt his career. This year marks a quarter of a century since the release of his acclaimed debut album, The Voice, and he is due to embark on The Evolution Tour in October and November. Watson, who born into a working class family in Salford in the late 1960s, also praised the university's commitment to opportunity and inclusivity. 'It is fantastic that this university offers the chance for people from all backgrounds and ages to improve their lives for the better,' he said. 'People should be able to achieve their dreams with the right support and it is clear that you have been supported every step of the way. 'My diagnosis changed everything but I am living proof that you should never give up if you want to continue to do the thing you love. 'You should be so proud that you are here today celebrating your graduation. 'It is the result of a lot of hard work and determination and I am honoured to be sharing this moment with you.' Watson's Evolution Tour takes place throughout October and November and tickets are on sale now.

Sci-fi series based on Stephen King novel arrives on Stan
Telepathic and telekinetic kids from middle America are scooped up and taken to a secret institution where tests are performed on them by people who say they're saving the world. No, we're not talking about Stranger Things, though you could be forgiven for thinking so. The Institute is based on a Stephen King novel of the same name and follows brainiac Luke (Joe Freeman), who, at just 14 years old, is already too smart for high school and is about to head off to college. But before that can happen, he's kidnapped in the middle of the night and brought to The Institute, where very little is explained to him, and he has serious doubts he'll be returned to his home. He's got some telekinetic ability, but nothing he can control. There are other kids with similarly fledgling powers, and all of them are just as in the dark as he is about their fate. Meanwhile in the outside world, Tim Jamieson (Ben Barnes, with more free time now Shadow and Bone was cancelled) picks up a job as a semi-civilian police employee whose only task is to walk through the small town at night knocking on doors of businesses to make sure they're not being broken into. But there's an offbeat unhoused woman along his route who knows some things that she shouldn't and has him wondering if there's some sort of conspiracy in town. Mary Louise Parker also stars in this sci-fi thriller. Two episodes were released to kick things off, with further episodes arriving weekly. If you combined The Voice, Love is Blind and Popstars (you remember the one, our first introduction to Sophie Monk) you'd come close to Building the Band. The competition singing show sees 50 wannabe boy band or girl band stars each confined to their own little pods in a big warehouse, listening to just one of their number singing their favourite song in the hope that their peers will want to work with them in a band. You need at least five people to show interest in order to proceed in the competition, and then you can chat with your fellow singers to form a group of between three and five people. None of the singers can see each other through this whole process. Hosted by Backstreet Boy AJ McClean, the series also features judges Nicole Scherzinger, Kelly Rowland and Liam Payne in his last project before his tragic death. This four-part true crime docuseries does something that many other entries in the genre fail to - it puts the victims front and centre. The series delves into the murder of Maddie Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle, four University of Idaho students who were killed in the same off-campus share house in November, 2022. Through interviews with the slain students' closest friends and family members, as well as the perspective of local media (who are portrayed as concerned locals while the national media are considered invasive vultures), true crime fans and faculty staff, the story of the foursome's lives and deaths comes into focus. But by the nature of the case, this series doesn't have a resolution. We know who the murderer is (arrested suspect Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty to the crimes only days before the series was released) but we still don't know his motive or how he actually knew the victims. Without these crucial parts of the mystery, as a piece of content, One Night in Idaho is lacking. But it is still engaging and tragic, and you come away with a great sense of who these young people were and how big a hole they've left in the lives of those who loved them. Lena Dunham's back with another show after the success of comedy series Girls. This Netflix offering also stars Dunham, but she's not the main character this time around. That honour belongs to Megan Stalter as Jessica, an advertising rep who hasn't quite come to terms with her recent breakup. After a particularly humiliating encounter with her ex and his new girlfriend, Jessica decides to take up an opportunity to work at her company's London branch and get away from her sad reality. She's determined to live out her London fantasy and almost immediately finds herself attracted to pub singer Felix (Will Sharpe), a new contender for the title of 'internet boyfriend'. The comedy is a little brash and loud and American, to be expected of a series called Too Much, but fans of Dunham's work should like the show. It is chock full of cameos and appearances from familiar faces, with just the first couple of episodes alone featuring Jessica Alba, Rhea Perlman, Rita Wilson, Andrew Rannells, Emily Ratajkowski, Richard E. Grant and Adwo Aboah, among many others. If you were a fan of Bosch, there's a new spin-off to enjoy in Prime Video's Ballard. The crime series stars Maggie Q as the titular cold case detective who thinks she's found the work of a serial killer in a case more than two decades old. On Disney+ fans can rejoice in some behind-the-scenes action and interviews celebrating the legacy of the original summer blockbuster, with Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story. Meanwhile younger audiences can catch the latest Disney original musical with Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires. Disney+ also has the return It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, with season 17 starting on Wednesday. Over on AppleTV+ there's a new season of sci-fi drama Foundation, and nature documentary series The Wild Ones, which follows three experts trying to save several species from extinction.

Belgian music festival under pressure over Franco-Israeli billing
Les Francofolies de Spa, a staple of Belgium's summer music festival season since 1994, is at the heart of a growing controversy mere days before it starts. The four-day event, which aims to promote francophone artists, kicks off tomorrow and one planned set on Friday is fueling concern - that of Franco-Israeli singer Amir, a former contestant on The Voice and France's Eurovision representative in 2016. His presence on the billing has angered several other artists who are also due to perform at the festival, who have expressed their unease at Amir's perceived pro-Israel stance. Artists like Lovelace, Nicou, CHOSE and Mado have signed a statement denouncing the singer's presence: 'As artists scheduled to perform at the Francofolies de Spa, we strongly disagree with the decision to programme Amir.' As for Franco-Swiss singer Yoa, she has cancelled her participation (also originally set for Friday) altogether, citing her 'social, political and humanist" convictions which dictate that she should not 'share the stage with an artist who does not recognise the ongoing genocide in Palestine, and who has taken part in events organised in support of the Israeli army.' Indeed, Amir took part in an event in Hebron, an Israeli settlement that is illegal under international law, in 2014. Artists have also referred to his attendance at an evening in support of IDF soldiers, organised by Yoni Chetboun - an MP for the far-right Habayit Hayehudi (The Jewish Home) party. In the wake of Yoa walking away from the festival, two other artists announced that they too were withdrawing from the Francofolies de Spa: Brussels DJ RaQL and activist DJ LibraRomea. Amir's label has denounced "an outpouring of anti-Semitic hatred" and posted its support for the singer on Instagram. As for the organisers of the Francofolies de Spa, interviewed by public service broadcaster for the French-speaking Community of Belgium RTBF, they said they had received "numerous messages calling for Amir to be deprogrammed." "In a dramatic context, it is understandable that citizens and artists should question us about the commitments of an artist on the bill", said the organisers. "We are outraged by the ongoing tragedy in Gaza and deeply shocked by the unacceptable suffering inflicted on the civilian population." However, the festival seems to be maintaining Amir's concert, as they are unable to 'morally assess the entirety of his personal trajectory or access the innermost depths of his convictions'. This comes at a time when tensions surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are regularly overshadowing European music festivals. For instance, this year's Glastonbury festival in the UK courted controversy over sets by Kneecap and Bob Vylan. This led to the BBC (the festival's official broadcaster) facing pressure from the UK government – and ultimately leading to the BBC's director of music having to step down over the scandal. Les Francofolies de Spatakes place in Spa, Belgium, from 17 - 20 July 2025.
