Devastated and heartbroken that my older brother Simon passed away on Friday morning, he was 54. A guiding light to me and my 2 Sisters all our lives. I can’t remember having an argument with him in 51 years. He instilled in me the confidence to pursue my dreams. Love you Si 💔

Great vibe in Halifax tonight. Leon Bridges about to hit the stage. Support act Gott Street Park were great ! I’m back here August 1st supporting Squeeze..



ozzy osbourne’s top ten favourite beatles songs and why:
I just can’t believe it! My dear dear friend Ozzy has passed away only weeks after our show at Villa Park. It’s just such heartbreaking news that I can’t really find the words, there won’t ever be another like him. Geezer, Bill and myself have lost our brother. My thoughts go…
I think Satie, Ravel and Poulenc would have loved this piece of music from Ryuichi Sakamoto that was influenced by them. I know that it moves me every time that I hear it. This is very likely one of the very last times that he played it. Sublime. youtu.be/ELJf83TelA0
Amazing news: @badly_drawn_boy will be my very special guest for my Manchester Apollo show Friday Nov 14th. Surprises to come but this one means a ton. Damon is an influence on my music and career. Just so chuffed. Tix to this landmark evening here shorturl.at/DjxBy

Quick visit to the Tony Wilson exhibit at @SmolenskyART in Manchester - great to see some of these old artefacts & memories. RIP Tony. X
One night in Hope Street with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and our good friends Terry Hall, Ian McCulloch and Sean Payne. Here we are performing a cover of Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day”. #tbt
Visited this gentleman's grave today. John Peel had a huge influence on British modern culture. By giving exposure to alternative music in his Radio show he actually changed the music scene. I didn't listen to his shows but a friend did and we exchanged cassettes. Thread 1/3
Aphex Twin’s Windowlicker still sounds like music a time traveler from the future would hear if they jumped into their future.
Bob Dylan reading Baseball Weekly in an empty convenience store. It means nothing. It means everything.
Ahead of playing Summer Nights at Caldicot Castle in August. Damon Gough, better known as @badly_drawn_boy, talks candidly about fatherhood, touring, being sober and the state of the arts buzzmag.co.uk/badly-drawn-bo…
Look at these amazing paintings by a girl who is thinking of giving up A-level art because she feels she is failing! She might need the A-level for college purposes but she doesn't need it to convince me she's incredible!
My daughter is giving up A-Level Art because she feels she is failing. Her Year 12 portfolio was given a D-. The 2nd painting is a self-portrait. I’m biased but I think they’re brilliant. Who here thinks she could make a living as an artist/illustrator? I’ll pass on comments!❤️
I wrote a big thing on TRACKS II: THE LOST ALBUMS, which features at least one of my favorite Springsteen LPs of the last 30 years. theringer.com/2025/06/26/mus…

These art prints are a wonderful sight to behold in the flesh. Stunning A2 on 170gsm paper with a classy, silk finish. An essential addition to any discerning Sidebottom fan's collection! Still time to order in time for Xmas but hurry! Last orders 19th shop.1137enterprises.com
JAWS was released 50 years ago today. Regarded the first summer blockbuster and a landmark of Hollywood, the making of story is so crazy it begs the question of how it was ever made… 1/47
