Andrea Corr, 51, has barely aged a day as shows off toned body in tiny bikini
ANDREA Corr has barely aged a day if these stunning bikini snaps are anything to go by. The Irish singer, 51, is currently holidaying in the Caribbean, and showed off her toned physique in a designer Missoni bikini and blue baseball cap. 4 4 Andrea rose to fame in the band alongside her siblings, Caroline, Sharon and Jim Corr in the 1990s thanks to their the catchy pop tunes complete with violins and tin whistles. The Irish siblings were best known for songs like Breathless, So Young, and Runaway, and they won Best International Group at The Brits in 1999. The band singer looked like she'd barely aged a day in 30 years as she took a dip in the sea outside the Sandy Lane Hotel in Barbados. Andrea wore her black locks in a pony tail but days earlier wore them long, down her shoulders while going for another swim in a black bikini top, matched with pink, scalloped hemmed bottoms. Earlier this year, Andrea stunned Masked Singer judges after being unmasked as Snail on the show. The Corrs singer said she "loved" the costume, gushing: "I had such a good time, everyone's been lovely, it's been really joyous. I wanted to do it for the children." The 90s band, made up of Andrea on lead vocals, Sharon on violin, Caroline on drums and brother Jim on the guitar and piano, have continued to perform together over the years. Andrea was once married to barrister Gavin Bonnar, who she wed in 2001, and they split in 2019. Since the split, Bonnar went to live with Telma Ortiz in Madrid, the sister of Spain's monarch, Queen Letizia. The 51-year-old opened up about their break up at the time, saying she had a breakdown on a flight. 90s pop legend unrecognisable 23 years after winning a BRIT Award She said: "I was going through a tumultuous experience. I was on a plane from Madrid to Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. Something very personal and distressing had occurred the day before, which shocked me "I was reeling, absolutely reeling, from it." Continuing, the Corrs singer shared: "I was crying on the plane and I didn't care that I was crying. If people were looking at me, that didn't matter." She said after the flight she was on became delayed by a few hours due to weather it allowed her time to think, and she channelled her emotions into writing. She added: "I felt the gigantic storm outside was in sync with what was going on in my life. 'It was almost therapy, because there was definitely a huge storm going on inside of me. These words of a song just started to fall out of me. While the plane took ages to take off, I wrote and wrote and wrote."

For rockers Wilderado, redefining the band is ‘a daily project'
Most rock bands make an album, promote it with a tour and two, and then head back into the studio to record another one. For Wilderado singer-guitarist Max Rainer, that course didn't necessarily seem to be the right one. 'There's enough music in the world,' says Rainer by phone from his Tulsa home. 'I don't want to be part of throwing new music at people's faces just because we have before.'

Lebanese singer Ragheb Alama's Egypt concerts suspended following accusation of inappropriate conduct
Lebanese singer Ragheb Alama has been suspended from performing in Egypt for 'violating the country's customs, traditions and societal values' after being kissed on stage by a fan. The decision made by the Musicians Syndicate in Egypt came after the circulation of a video of the incident at his recent concert on the North Coast. Alama, 63, has been summoned to the Musicians Syndicate headquarters for an investigation into what has been described as a 'deliberate violation of Egyptian norms, customs and traditions.' His work permit in Egypt has been suspended pending his appearance. Alama said he plans to attend, and holds the concert organisers responsible for the incident. 'For two days, I have been following shameful behaviour that violates all Egyptian customs, traditions and societal values,' said Mostafa Kamel, head of the Musicians Syndicate in Egypt. 'We have never been accustomed to this in our country before and we will not allow it to be repeated. 'Egypt's stages have been graced by some of the greatest artists in Egypt and the Arab world, both artistically and in value. They have never been, and never will be, a breeding ground for kisses, undisciplined gestures and disgusting hugs. He added: 'With my sincere respect and appreciation to Mr Farid Bou Said, the head of the Musicians Syndicate in our sister country, Lebanon, and to all our brothers and sisters in the beloved Lebanese people.' The syndicate has also contacted officials from the Chamber of Tourism Establishments to arrange a meeting with them or their representatives, with the aim of making a joint decision to summon the owner of the tourist venue that hosted the concert. Alama said in a phone call with Al-Nahar TV: 'What happened was that the girl grabbed me in her joy as I was coming off the stage and kissed me. The kiss wasn't on my mouth. I swear to God, that didn't happen.' He added: 'I hold the organisers responsible because people were going to the theatre. I respect the audience and I am well aware that tourism in Egypt is a great responsibility. 'I contacted the head of the syndicate and I respect the syndicate's decision and place myself at its disposal. God willing, I will visit the syndicate next week.'

The main symptoms of Parkinson's disease explained
Ozzy Osbourne died on Tuesday after living with Parkinson's disease for nearly six years. The Black Sabbath singer was diagnosed with the progressive neurological condition in 2019 and had been experiencing constant pain for the past year. Parkinson's disease, which currently has no cure, is caused by the death of dopamine-producing nerve cells, leading to three main symptoms which include tremor, slowness of movement, and rigidity. Some subtle symptoms may include a change in a person's walking pattern, very small handwriting, a loss in their sense of smell, nerve pain or insomnia. Symptoms, which can develop slowly over several years, usually occur when the brain is no longer able to make enough dopamine to adequately control movement.
