Rihanna teams up with fellow superstars to record tribute song to Fatman Scoop after his shock death --[Reported by Umva mag]

THE tragic death of the Fatman Scoop, aged just 56, last month shocked the music industry. And now, I have been told a number of his famous pals, including Rihanna and her boyfriend Asap Rocky have come together to pay tribute to the rapper, who collapsed on stage at a gig in Connecticut.

SYDNIE: KING SO CUDDLY

The footie legend has a pair of praying hands etched on his leg, bringing his tattoos total to 70.

Back in the day we used to note his new ones but we’ve totally lost track now.

MIAMI NICE FOR 1D LIAM

A YEAR on from being hospitalised due to kidney issues, Liam Payne says he’s finally in a good place.

Liam Payne has moved to the US and is doing well a year on from being hospitalised due to kidney issues[/caption]

The One Direction singer, has ditched the UK for Miami, Florida.

Speaking on Snapchat, Liam said: “I’ve wanted to live in Florida since I was little as we used to go to Disneyland all the time.

“It is a beautiful place and I have good friends who take care of me. I’m the happiest I’ve been in a long time.”

Liam appears to have put his second album on hold despite quietly working away on new music for over a year.

In March he released Teardrops, a track we all thought would be the lead single, but so far we’ve heard nothing else from Liam.

But he’s back on track, so us fans will wait until he is good and ready.

FEST BOSS BACKS OASIS

ISLE of Wight Festival boss John Giddings has defended Noel and Liam Gallagher in the wake of Oasis’ reunion gigs ticket debacle.

The brothers put on two more Wembley dates and introduced a new ticketing system after Ticketmaster struggled to cope with the millions of fans desperate to get to a show.

Oasis had come under fire for exorbitant “dynamic pricing”, which they said was down to Ticketmaster.

Speaking at the launch of Experience 25 – an exhibition celebrating the 25-year history of the Isle of Wight Festival – at London’s O2 on Wednesday, John, said: “I think they expected a big demand, I don’t think they expected more than ten million people to apply for over a million tickets.

“What people don’t realise, what the general public don’t appreciate, is that within a ticket price 20 per cent of it goes to the government in VAT before you begin.

“It’s ten times more expensive to put on shows since Covid, since Brexit, since all of that, and artists want to present a show.

“The back screen, the fireworks and everything going off with it.

“That’s what audiences want because we can see by the number of tickets they’re buying. People vote with their feet – if they don’t want to come then we’re all dead in the water.”

John added: “Once upon a time I put three David Bowie shows on sale at Wembley Arena, 24,000 tickets.

“I got a demand of 250,000 tickets but everybody had sent in a stamped and addressed envelope with a cheque, so what I did was I sent them all back a ticket for Milton Keynes and sold out three nights at Milton Keynes.”

Now that’s a clever move.

Kind Tom’s home truth

TOM GRENNAN is back with a new single – and it’s another belter.

Tom Grennan’s new single Higher is out today[/caption]

The song, Higher, is out today and he gave me an exclusive look at the artwork that goes with it.

Tom is one of my favourite British singers and since I last saw him perform at Glastonbury, I’ve been championing everything he does.

And he has been sharing the fruits of his success, revealing that he helped to pay off the mortgage on his parents’ home.

Former footballer Tom, who used to play for Luton Town, said: “To be able to do that for my parents – they’ve always been those parents who’ll do anything for me and my brother.

“To give them something back was such a lovely feeling. But I didn’t think about it. It was like, ‘Oh I’ve got that money, sweet, I’ll do that’.”

What a legend.

BOXERS Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois are facing off at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night – but the only thing I am going to be tuning in for is Liam Gallagher.

The Oasis rocker will perform before the bout in what will be his first solo concert following the news of the Britpop legends’ reunion.

You can listen live to the performance on Virgin Radio with my pal Ben Jones from 9pm.

Get it on the Virgin Radio UK app, DAB digital radio or, if you’re a sofa slob like me, just ask your smart speaker to play Virgin Radio UK.

CHART BATTLER KATY AIMS TO GET 143 TO 1

THE tussle for top album kicks off today with a raft of releases.

GettyKaty Perry has dropped her new record 143[/caption]

Katy Perry has dropped her new record 143, but she faces tough competition from rock band Blossoms, who have released their fifth album Gary.

Also out today is Jamie XX’s collection In Waves, which I have already had a sneaky listen to and is one of the best dance records of the year.

As well as collaborations with Robyn and Honey Dijon, it features his new single Waited All Night, on which he teams up with his The XX bandmates Romy and Oliver Sim.

Rising star ST Lundi has released his debut album The Island, which includes an amazing song about divorce called Different Houses. You can catch him on his UK tour in November.

And for a slice of pop fun, Ava Max has returned with her single Spot A Fake.

SCOTT MILLS should be charging the BBC double time. The DJ, covering for Zoe Ball on her Breakfast Show slot yesterday, popped up on Vernon Kay‘s show minutes later.

Scott played listeners a voice message from Vern where he said: “Hi Scott, it’s Vernon.

“I never thought this would happen. I’m still stood at the platform, miles from Central London, and miles from the studio.”

Scott joked: “Me and Vernon get the same train, but this is a first.”
Vernon made it in after 80 minutes, but Scott still ribbed him.

Joking about his stint on BBC show, Race Across The World, Scott said: “I managed to race 12,500 miles across South America, and Vernon can’t even get from the other side of London to the studio!”
