The Welshman, 40, cuts a much slimmer figure these days after shedding the pounds over the past eight months.

Price, a former rugby league hooker, says his dramatic body transformation is here to stay and the result of fitness and eating healthier food. Though he claims he played 'rubbish' in patches during a 6-3 win over erratic Australian Joe Comito, the world No.6 is hoping to defend this World Series of Darts event in Wollongong. He said: 'I think I have lost between 13-15kgs. About two stone.

'I don't think it affects me physically when I'm throwing but mentally it definitely helps. I feel comfortable. 'I'm in some smaller clothes. I feel better in myself. Mentally it's a lot better.

So, give it another month, if I keep doing that, it will be back on!' Gerwyn Price says he had to control his emotions whilst playing against Daryl Gurney Price – who smashed Luke Littler 8-1 in the 2024 final Down Under – wore an Aussie gold-coloured shirt to try and win over the home fans. It has been a difficult trip for him to the other side of the world and he is not yet operating on the correct time zone. The former world champion said: 'The sleeping patterns ain't what I want it to be at the minute. 'I was up really early today. Even in the practice room, I didn't really feel it. It's difficult to shrug off the jetlag. 'I'm still stuck on UK time. I'm sleeping all day and awake all night. 'If I stay awake quite late tonight then the jetlag will be gone, which will be good. I need a good night's sleep ahead of Saturday. 'I wear a different shirt whenever I go, in the Premier League and World Series of Darts events. I choose the colours. I picked this one. 'Looking back to 2024, since I have had my Tour Card that was probably the worst season I've had. I was absolute rubbish. 'So, The final of the Australian Darts Masters was a good game. I watched it back on the TV a couple of times in the practice room. 'I thought to myself, I have dropped a couple of pounds since then, haven't I?'

Drake Blocked From A New No. 1 By Kendrick Lamar
Drake is working toward releasing a new album titled Iceman, which may be arriving very soon. Just months after he dropped a collaborative project, Some Sexy Songs 4 U with PartyNextDoor, he's hard at work on his next solo collection. He's already delivered two singles from the forthcoming effort, and the latest of the pair nearly gives him another No. 1 on the most important rap chart in America — but he's blocked by a familiar foe. "Which One" Debuts Just Behind Kendrick Lamar Drake's latest tune "Which One," a collaboration with Central Cee, starts at No. 2 on Billboard's Hot Rap Songs chart. The tally measures the most consumed rap tracks in the U.S. by combining sales, streaming, and radio data. The single launches just behind "Luther" by Kendrick Lamar and SZA, which is still at No. 1. Drake Adds to His Record-Breaking Chart Totals Drake remains untouchable when it comes to long-term performance on the Hot Rap Songs chart. "Which One" becomes his one-hundred-and-forty-third top 10 and two-hundred-and-fifty-sixth career entry on the list. He already holds the record in both categories, and the gap between him and everyone else just keeps widening. 'Luther' Continues to Outperform Drake Drake and Lamar's rivalry dominated headlines in 2024, with the two trading pointed diss tracks that turned into hits. "Not Like Us" ultimately became the defining win of the battle, ruling the Hot 100 and emerging as one of the most commercially successful rap cuts of the decade. With "Luther" still ruling, Lamar again keeps Drake from adding to his total of No. 1s. "Which One" Reaches No. 1 on Several Other Rankings While "Which One" doesn't reach No. 1 on the main rap tally, it does launch atop three other genre-specific Billboard charts. The track rules R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs, Rap Streaming Songs, and Rap Digital Song Sales rankings this frame. "Which One" Starts Strong Across Multiple Charts The Drake single also opens inside the top 10 on several other charts. "Which One" launches at No. 3 on both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales tallies. It enters at No. 8 on Streaming Songs and hits No. 14 on the Billboard Global 200. Drake already leads all artists in top 10 appearances on each of those rosters, and now he adds another smash to his catalog. Drake Controls Three of the Top Five Rap Tracks Even as he's blocked from another No. 1, Drake still dominates the Hot Rap Songs chart. "What Did I Miss?," his recent solo cut, drops to No. 4 after previously ruling. "Nokia," a highlight from Some Sexy Songs 4 U, slips to No. 5. That gives Drake control of three of the top five spots this frame.

Drake's Latest Collaboration Launches At No. 1
After releasing a collaborative album, Some Sexy Songs 4 U, with PartyNextDoor earlier this year, Drake is already hard at work on what's next. He's been teasing an upcoming full-length, Iceman, for weeks, and even sharing singles from the project. His latest cut, 'Which One' with Central Cee, arrives on multiple charts in the United Kingdom this frame, and it helps him score yet another leader. 'Which One' Gives Drake Another No. 1 Drake's new collaboration with Cental Cee opens at No. 1 on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart. The debut grants him his seventeenth leader on the tally and expands his total number of top 10s on the roster to 92. 'Which One' is his second new No. 1 on the genre ranking in 2025, following 'Nokia,' which arrived in the spring. Drake's Recent Singles Keep Performing While 'Which One' claims the top spot, several other recent Drake tracks are still performing well on the same list. 'What Did I Miss?' peaked at No. 4 just a few weeks back, and it remains competitive, while 'Nokia' continues its extended run on the hip-hop tally after previously reaching the summit. A Multi-Chart Debut for 'Which One' Drake's Central Cee collab lands on more than just the one genre list. The tune launches at No. 4 on the Official Singles chart, instantly becoming Drake's forty-seventh top 10 smash. On the Official Streaming tally, the cut opens at No. 7. It also starts at No. 66 on two sales rosters at the same time, though it doesn't manage to enter the top 40 on either. Central Cee Partnership Expands Drake's Reach Pairing with Central Cee, one of the U.K.'s most prominent rap figures, clearly gives 'Which One' added momentum, as it performs better than Drake's own 'What Did I Miss?' There's no word yet on when Iceman will arrive, but with the rapper talking openly about it and two singles already out, the project might be delivered soon.

Drake Gives Fiery Speech To Concert Crowd: 'I Didn't Get Here By Being A Piece Of Sh-t'
Source: Simone Joyner / Getty Ever since the Drake beef with Kendrick Lamar boiled over, other artists have jumped in. From Rick Ross and A$AP Rocky to The Weeknd, they steadily piled on, leading many to question how Drake wronged them as rumors of shady business dealings and stealing girlfriends ran amok. And if you ask Drake? Nothing. That's what he told the crowd last night at Amsterdam's Ziggo Dome for his co-headlining $ome $pecial $hows 4 U Tour with PARTYNEXTDOOR . 'I hope you get everything you want. Never give up. Keep going, not even on some preachy sh-t. This might be the moment that you need to hear it,' Drake told the crowd. 'And the biggest thing I would say to you is I didn't get here by being a piece of sh-t. I didn't get here by being a snake. I didn't get here by being a d-ckhead. I got here by being good to people, being nice to people, and my karma is straight.' He goes on to say that the way he's treated people is why he's been able to rise again after the beef. 'That's why I'm still on stage in 2025,' he added. In what's been the most challenging year of his career, he shouts out his fans for always holding him down and promises to deliver on his next album, Iceman . 'And I appreciate you always supporting me, always being there for me. I love y'all. I don't have no jokes tonight. I usually tell a joke or some sh-t, but tonight it's no jokes. It's just love. I appreciate you so much. I'm working on this album for y'all, Iceman . We got a lot to talk about.' While jokes were off limits for the night, he did have a lighthearted moment with the crowd when he admitted Amsterdam will always be special to him because that's where his son Adonis was conceived. 'I was saying backstage, like, 'This is the place. A very special place in my heart, because this is where my son was conceived,'' Drake said. 'It's a big show for me, you know. I hold Amsterdam very dear to my heart. There would be no Adonis if there wasn't an Amsterdam, so shout out to y'all.' Drake's 7-year-old with French artist Sophie Brussaux was of course the bombshell that Pusha T revealed to the world in their 2018 beef that ended with 'The Story Of Adidon.'
