OHMYGOSSIP — Bill Roache loves playing comical ‘Coronation Street’ scenes because they “lift your mood” on set.
The 86-year-old actor has portrayed Ken Barlow on the ITV soap since the show’s first-ever episode in December 1960 and while he is a big fan of acting out dramatic scenes, he has enjoyed the more light-hearted work of late.
He said: “I love playing the drama and all the big scenes in the Barlows but the comedy has been good to do recently. After a full day it does seep into you and lift your mood, I always found that in theatre, and it’s really nice to do.
Rula Lenska recently returned to ‘Corrie’ as Claudia Colby, and Bill enjoys playing out the “flirtations” between the hairdresser, Ken and fellow tresses queen Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls).
He added: “Rula is lovely, I’m so lucky to have some of the people I work with and she’s one of them, she’s wonderful and so good.
“I love playing the lighter stories with Claudia and Audrey, the flirtations between them, the slight jealousies and the stories from the past.
“Whether there will ever be a long term relationship between them I’m not sure, I think there’s much more to play this way.”
But Bill has some hard-hitting scenes to come with Ken’s daughter-in-law Sinead Tinker (Katie McGlynn) set to go through with a cervical cancer diagnosis, and he is to become her “confidante”.
He added: “Sinead doesn’t confide in him voluntarily, Ken happens to be at the hospital when she comes out of a room in tears having been given the news.
“She rushes off home but he goes round after her and puts in her in a position where she tells him. He becomes her confidante, even though it wasn’t through choice.
“He wants her to tell Daniel, he says ‘You must tell him, you can’t keep him out of this.’ But Sinead says, ‘It’s my baby, my body, my cancer.’ She begs Ken to keep quiet but it’s really difficult for him, he wants to do the honourable thing but this is his son’s life as well.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Liam Neeson claims a horse in his new movie “recognised” him.
The 66-year-old actor can next be seen in Western ‘The Ballad of Buster Scruggs’ and the creature that pulled his wagon remembered working with the ‘Taken’ star on a previous movie.
Liam had taken “special care” of the horse on their previous project so the equine was happy to see him.
He told the New York Post newspaper’s Page Six column: “I play a travelling impresario. We filmed in New Mexico. The odd thing is the horse who pulls my wagon knew me.
“You won’t believe it. I’m saying this horse knew me. He actually remembered me from another Western we made a while back.
“I love animals. When we worked together before I took special care of him. I fed him treats. Gave him apples.
“He whinnied when he saw me. And pawed the ground.”
The movie also stars James Franco, Tyne Daly and Zoe Kazan, with Tim Blake Nelson in the titular role.
But the 54-year-old star doesn’t think he’d have landed the lead role if it wasn’t for his friends, the movie’s directors the Coen brothers, because he isn’t traditionally “handsome”, well known or tall enough for a main part.
He said: “I play singing cowboy Buster Scruggs. You’d think, who am I to play a lead being short, small of frame, not handsome, not well-known? Only with the Coen brothers could this happen.
“They’re friends. I’m an actor who’s done 80 films. My character’s a killer but doesn’t kill unless he’s provoked. He lives by a code. In a sense, he feels justified. It’s self-defence.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Slash was “sceptical” about Axl Rose fronting AC/DC.
The Guns ‘N Roses guitarist had misgivings about his bandmate stepping in to sing with the ‘Back in Black’ rockers after Brian Johnson was forced to quit performing on doctors’ orders in 2016, but was pleasantly surprised when he went to see them in action.
Slash told the Los Angeles Times newspaper: “The Axl-doing-AC/DC thing, I went and checked that out, and it was awesome. I was probably as sceptical as anybody because of the iconic status of the band.hing his bandmate perform with the group, though.
“He pulled it off and it was great.”
The ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ hitmaker was drafted in for the latter part of AC/DC’s ‘Rock or Bust World Tour’ in 2016 after Brian pulled out due to hearing issues.
The ‘Highway to Hell’ stars went through a transformation last year with bassist Cliff Williams retiring, guitarist Angus Young’s brother Malcolm Young – who quit the group in 2014 – passing away, and Brian pulling out of the tour due to his hearing problems.
However, not everyone is keen on the idea of another legendary band member replacing Brian.
Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott recently said he wouldn’t have replaced the 70-year-old frontman with Axl if he was in AC/DC, because he wouldn’t have “dealt with” the situation in that way if he had been part of the group.
He said: “I wouldn’t have done it like that.
“I can’t speak for [AC/DC guitarist] Angus [Young] and his team as to what their reasons were for doing what they did.
“But considering that we had a drummer [Rick Allen] lose an arm and we waited for him. The way that they dealt with it was not the way I would have done it, put it that way.”
While he didn’t agree with the way Axl took Brian’s place in the band, Joe, 58, thought the ‘November Rain’ singer did a “pretty good job”, but to him the current line-up doesn’t feel like the AC/DC of old.

OHMYGOSSIP — Matt Damon admits the original ending for ‘Manchester by the Sea’ had to be scrapped because it was too expensive.
The Hollywood star served as a producer on the critically acclaimed drama film – which tells the story of a man whose brother dies and he’s entrusted with looking after his nephew – but Matt has admitted that the movie’s shoot didn’t quite go according to plan.
He shared: “I love ‘Manchester’, I’m incredibly proud of it, but Kenny [Lonergan, the writer] had an ending – there was this scene where they were on the boat that the whole movie’s kind of about, and it was a flashback to before Casey [Affleck’s] kids had died, before his brother had died, when he was still married to Michelle [Williams], and they were all on this boat and they were whale watching.
“It’s this incredible moment of joy and you see this family all together and then these whales start breaching out of the water.”
Matt, 48, explained that because of budget restraints, it simply wasn’t possible to bring their ambition to reality.
He told the Bill Simmons Podcast: “You needed [a] f***ing drone cam. I mean, it was one day of shooting and you gotta get lucky with the whales, but either way we could’ve figured that out.
“It was this epic [scene], so as the camera pulls back as this family is experiencing this incredible joy – and you know it’s about to go horribly wrong for them – the camera’s pulling up, up, up and it reveals all of these other boats all around it, and it’s all of these other families watching these whales and it’s like this is one little story in this sea of stories.
“It was epic and it was beautiful and it tied the whole thing together, and we ran out of money. It was like, ‘f**k.'”

OHMYGOSSIP — Enrique Iglesias wants to quit touring.
The ‘Escape’ hitmaker admitted he’s thought several times over the years that he needs to “take a break” from travelling all over the world and now it’s something he’s seriously considering doing in the “near future”.
He told The Sun newspaper: “There are days when I’d be lying if I said that stopping didn’t cross my mind . . . that probably could come a reality in the near future.
“When I was 19 and travelling around the world with my first album, there were times I would think, ‘Oh man, maybe I should stop doing this. I need to take a break’. And that has crossed my mind over the years.
“But now it has crossed my mind a few more times than before.”
However, the 43-year-old singer will keep making records for some time after that but he’d really like to just be at home with his partner Anna Kournikova and their twins Nicholas and Lucy, 10 months.
He added: “Maybe I don’t see myself doing anything other than a few albums and that’s it. Then, never doing anything again other than being a dad.”
If the ‘Hero’ hitmaker does quit touring, he is unlikely to be short on offers for other ventures as Enrique has previously revealed he has rejected numerous approaches to be a judge on various TV talent shows.
He said: “I turned them all down. Not because I don’t like the shows, because I ­actually watch the shows and enjoy them.
“Whether it’s ‘X ­Factor’ in the UK or ‘American Idol’ or ‘The Voice’ here in the US, it’s still TV.
“It takes quite a big chunk out of your time. To do that and tour at the same time, I don’t think I could do it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — The BBC have been inundated with complaints over their decision to axe ‘Flog It!’.
The daytime antiques show is set to be taken off air next March after 17 years on screen but upset viewers have been bombarding the broadcaster with calls, urging them to rethink their decision.
However, programming chiefs are staying resolute as they are keen to introduce new shows to the time slot.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: “From the moment they announced its axing the phone lines have been full with people ringing up to complain.
“They’ve obviously got a very loyal fan base and people are extremely sad to see it go.
“Bosses didn’t expect such an outcry after the announcement.
“They are hoping it dies down and viewers can look forward to new programmes which will fill the schedule.”
There will be new episodes of the programme broadcast before it comes to an end, but six new shows will air in its place later in 2019, while host Paul Martin has other work in the pipeline, including game show ‘Make Me A Dealer’, which will pit two amateur antiques enthusiasts against each other to make the most money at auction.
A spokesperson said: “‘Flog It!’ has been an important part of the schedule and there will be new episodes next year but we’ve now been able to make room for six new commissions which we’re looking forward to sharing with viewers shortly.
“We’ll also be working with Paul Martin on some other programmes.”
After it was announced the show was to be axed, BBC controller of daytime and programming Dan McGolphin praised the BBC1 series as a “huge success” but insisted it was necessary to make changes to appeal to a new generation of viewers.
He said: “If we’re trying to create the new generation then some of the long-running shows will have to go.
“Now and again, we reach a time to move on and modernise, bringing through some new shows.
“The ideas we have here are hugely scalable, they are modern and accessible, lots of fun and hugely relevant to people across the UK.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Craig Cash feels like Caroline Aherne is “with him” when he works on ‘Googlebox’.
The 58-year-old actor took over voiceover duties on the Channel 4 show from his late friend – who died in July 2016 – when she was “gravely ill” with lung cancer and though he took it on at the time because it felt like the “right” thing to do, he’s glad he still has the job because it brings him close to his pal again.
He said: “In November 2013, when she was gravely ill with cancer, Caroline asked if I’d narrate ‘Gogglebox’ when she wasn’t up to it. Of course I said yes.
“It was a very sad time and I wanted to do right by her and the programme.
“Going into the studio is a lovely little moment because Caroline is with me again.”
And the former ‘Royle Family’ star is sure the actress is still watching the show from the afterlife.
He told Radio Times magazine: “I know Caroline will be watching ‘Gogglebox’ in heaven with 20 Bensons and a bottle of Champagne.”
Even though he spends time watching the clips to work on narrating the show, Craig still likes watching the programme as a fan – but admitted his friends think that’s “weird”.
He said: “After I’ve done my narration, I watch the show like everyone else.
“My mates think I’m weird for watching it. But I’m not watching it to listen to my narration, I’m watching it as a fan.”
The ‘After Hours’ star also admitted narrating ‘Gogglebox’ showed him he had skills he wasn’t aware of before.
He explained: “Before ‘Gogglebox’ I’d done lots of voiceovers but I’d never actually narrated anything.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Frank Skinner has been battling pneumonia for nearly a month.
The 61-year-old TV presenter felt so ill he couldn’t bear to read or watch TV for four days while staying in a hotel in Inverness, Scotland, and he had to down nine pills in the morning and more later in the day to try to improve his health.
He said: “I had four days of not being able to read, just in bed, staring at darkness. Then I felt well enough to watch the telly.
“I missed three shows or something. I had pneumonia for God’s sake. I did. I haven’t had any banter for weeks, I have barely spoken.
“There was a point where I was having nine pills in one go.
“I realised it actually works a bit like elevenses, it is like a snack, takes the edge off your appetite.
“Nine in the morning and some more later on.”
The ‘Room 101’ host was “terrified” he may not be “funny anymore” when he recovered.
Speaking on his ‘The Frank Skinner Show’ on Absolute Radio on Saturday (06.10.18), he added: “I went to the hospital and there was an older woman looking at me, very posh, she said to me ‘I know you, your programme is 1021’.
“I didn’t have the breath to correct her. There was enough bleakness in the waiting room.
“I did worry I might come out of pneumonia and not be funny anymore. It’s terrifying.”
Frank recently claimed people don’t show enough “respect” to comedy, the same way as they do for TV dramas.
He said: “Light entertainment is a bit looked down upon. You only have to write one crappy scripted thing for people to think you are a really clever, interesting person.
“I am being slightly cynical, but I don’t think people respect comedy.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, “wants to make a difference” to the world.
The 37-year-old royal – who was known as Meghan Markle before becoming a member of the royal family when she tied the knot with Prince Harry in May this year – is said to be embracing her newly appointed Duchess title, and wants to use her status to help others wherever she can.
A source said: “Meghan loves her new role/ She takes it very seriously and wants to make a difference. She’s mindful that she’s representing the Queen and the royal family and doesn’t want to put a foot wrong.”
The former ‘Suits’ actress is also “supportive” of her 34-year-old husband in his new role as the Youth Ambassador for the Commonwealth, and sources say the newlyweds are a “great team”.
Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’, the insider added: “She also realises how important Harry’s role is as the New Commonwealth Youth Ambassador and wants to support him. They really consider themselves a great team.”
Meghan’s affinity to her new role as a royal comes after she completed her first solo engagement last month as she attended the launch of the Oceania exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts London.
The Duchess viewed art from the Oceania region, Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia, and New Guinea, Easter Island, Hawaii and New Zealand, before with several artists and leaving with flowers from the children of one of the exhibition’s organisers.
A tweet on Kensington Palace’s Twitter read: “Before departing @royalacademy, The Duchess received a posy from Rima and Kotai, whose father was involved in the exhibition. #RAOceania (sic)”
Meghan’s solo visit to the exhibition came exactly a year after she and Harry made their first official public outing as a couple at the Invictus Games in Toronto, Canada.

OHMYGOSSIP — Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson are reportedly expecting a baby.
The Coldplay frontman and the ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ actress have been dating for just over a year, and are now set to take their relationship to the next level as Dakota is said to be pregnant with the pair’s first child.
According to TMZ, 29-year-old Dakota and Chris – who already has daughter Apple, 14, and son Moses, 12, with his former wife Gwyneth Paltrow – threw a gender reveal party for their unborn tot at Chris’ home on Sunday (07.09.18).
Pictures obtained by the publication show blue and pink balloons tied down in arches, as well as depicting the star-studded guest list for the event, which included Sean Penn, Julia Roberts, and Dakota’s parents Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson.
TMZ reports that Don was the last to arrive to the bash, and 10 minutes after he got there, a stream of blue balloons were released into the sky, signalling that Dakota and Chris, 41, are expecting a baby boy.
The baby news comes just one week after Chris’ ex-wife Gwyneth tied the knot with her new husband Brad Falchuck.
Previously, ‘Suspiria’ actress Dakota played coy about her romance with the ‘Viva La Vida’ hitmaker, but said she was “happy”.
She said: “I’m not going to talk about it. But I am very happy.”
And whilst they might be doing what they can to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, Dakota’s parents are more than happy to gush about their daughter’s beau.
Melanie said in May: “I adore him! But she is very private about her life and I respect that.”
Whilst Don gave his support for Chris when he said: “He’s a lovely guy. I’ve met him and you want your kids happy, no matter what shape it takes.
“That’s the goal, that’s the key. He’s a very talented and gifted musician. I’ve seen them in a concert at a small venue called the Troubadour in Los Angeles when they were first coming out and that was a memorable moment.
“I knew right then he’d be good for her. I said ‘Oh you know, that man has got something going on’.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kevin Smith now weighs under 200 pounds.
The 48-year-old director has been on a mission to lose weight since he suffered a life-threatening heart attack earlier this year, and in a new Instagram post, he revealed he’s managed to drop below 200 pounds for “the first time since High School.”
Posting a picture of himself walking his dog, he wrote: “The scale said 198 today! This is the first time since High School that I’ve weighed under 200 pounds! Never… NEVER imagined I could get here again but a heart attack can be a great motivator. (sic)”
The ‘Jay and Silent Bob’ star went on to thank everyone who has made his weight loss possible, including Weight Watchers – for whom he is an ambassador – as well as his pup Shecky, and several people who have helped him on the path to a plant based diet.
He added: “This #wwambassador thanks @ww – whose Points system made it possible to drop the lbs! I also wanna thank my little exercise partner Shecky, my Vegan explorer @harleyquinnsmith, @veggiegrill, #pennjillette, @adam_rifkin, @raycroniseand #runyoncanyon! And a big thanks to all you folks who kept me going with your sweet supportive sentiments! Now over the next few months, I’m gonna slowly try to get down to 190! #KevinSmith #ww #weightlosstransformation #WWFamily#wellnessthatworks #WWBros#WWCommunity #ad *People following the Weight Watchers program can expect to lose 1-2lbs per week. (sic)”
Kevin previously dubbed his widow-maker heart attack as the “best thing” that has ever happened to his health.
He said earlier this year: “Down 26 pounds today! Started March 8th and now 4 weeks later, I’ve lost a small child worth of weight! Doc told me to lose 50 pounds and I’m now over halfway to that goal! Ironically, this heart attack was the best thing that ever happened to my health! (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lakeith Stanfield has joined the cast of ‘Knives Out’.
The ‘Get Out’ star will star alongside Daniel Craig, Michael Shannon and Chris Evans in the upcoming murder mystery film directed by Rian Johnson – who is teaming up with his regular producing partner Ram Bergman.
Although details of the film’s plot are yet to be disclosed, it has been reported that Lakeith, 27, will play a detective alongside James Bond actor Daniel, 50, and Media Rights Capital, who own the world rights to the project, recently teased it is going to be a “fun and inventive” story.
Co-presidents of film Brye Adlet and Jonathan Golfman said in a statement: “We have been massive fans of Rian and Ram [Bergman, co-producer]’s since we saw Brick and have been pursuing them ever since.
“‘Knives Out’ is such a fun, inventive and entertaining film and we are thrilled to partner with Rian, Ram and Daniel on this exciting, original project.”
‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ filmmaker Rian recently admitted he had been waiting a long time to find the right project to work on with Daniel.
He said: “I have been a huge fan and always wanted to work with him and as I worked on the script, trying to get it right, Ram and I were wringing our hands over who could be the detective.
“Then, serendipitously, we heard Daniel might have a small window, and it worked out. He’s an actor of extraordinary range, and we are looking forward to the fun of finding that modern detective, and collaborating with Daniel on creating a new Poirot.”
The project is due to shoot this November and is likely to hit cinema screens in late 2019.

OHMYGOSSIP — Late horror legend George A. Romero left behind nearly 50 unused scripts that could become films.
The screenwriter-and-director – who was best known for his satirical zombie movies which began with ‘Night of the Living Dead’ in 1968 – passed away in July at the age of 77 following a “brief but aggressive battle with lung cancer” but a treasure trove of new stories has since been discovered and his widow Suzanne Desrocher-Romero is making it her “mission” to bring them to the big screen.
Speaking to ComicBook.com, Suzanne said: “George has many scripts. We have very many scripts that he’s written. And so, you just never know what’s gonna pop up … George was a prolific writer. He loved to write, and we have 40, 50 scripts that he’s written, and a lot of it is very good. He had a lot to say, and he still does, because I’m gonna make sure that he does. It’s my mission.”
At the time of his death Romero had been working on ‘Road of the Dead’ and that movie is still in development.
Suzanne spilled: “[‘Road of the Dead’] is in the works, I think. I think it’s sputtered a little bit, but we’ll see what happens. But we have a lot.”
In addition to the unseen scripts and ‘Road of the Dead’, there are plans underway to release a movie Romero shot in 1973 that “most people haven’t seen” that is not a zombie flick.
Suzanne explained: “We have a film that he shot in 1973 that most people haven’t seen. A handful of people have seen this film. We’re gonna restore it, and we’re gonna show it to Romero cinephiles. It’s a scary movie, but it’s not a horror movie, and it’s about ageism. Anyway, he has a cameo in it, and it’ll be fun. And we’ll show the movie, or get it distributed. It’ll be a project that the foundation’s gonna do. I think it’s the first project we’re gonna do actually.
“You see how he shoots and the story. It’s a unique find. I’m so happy I have it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Russell Crowe became “lifelong friends” with a horse after chatting to the animal every day on the sets of ‘Robin Hood’ and ‘Les Miserables’.
The 54-year-old actor is now great pals with Rusty after his four-legged friend appeared in the two movies, and he also used to engage in daily conversations with another equine, George, on the sets of both ‘Gladiator’ and ‘Robin Hood’, which comes after Liam Neeson recently claimed a horse in his new movie “recognised” him.
Russell retweeted a story about the ‘Taken’ star’s filly claims, and he wrote on Twitter: “This is absolutely true . There’s a horse George who I gave the speech in the forest in Gladiator on. Years later he was on the set of Robin Hood and we would have a chat everyday.
Same with the white horse Rusty in Robin Hood we chatted again on Les Mis. Lifelong friends. (sic)”
Liam recently claimed the horse in his latest film, ‘The Ballad of Buster Scruggs’, “knew” him, and as a result he took “special care” of the stallion and treated his pal to regular apples.
He said: “I play a travelling impresario. We filmed in New Mexico. The odd thing is the horse who pulls my wagon knew me.
“You won’t believe it. I’m saying this horse knew me. He actually remembered me from another Western we made a while back.
“I love animals. When we worked together before I took special care of him. I fed him treats. Gave him apples.
“He whinnied when he saw me. And pawed the ground.”
Russell and Liam’s confession of their love of horses comes after the ‘Sate of Play’ actor bought an equine that “almost killed” Josh Lucas in drama series ‘Snowy River: The McGregor Saga’.
Josh previously said: “Every actor claims that they can ride a horse. My first job was in Australia. When I was 19 years old, I got hired to play a great horseback rider, so I told everyone of course I could ride a horse, and then I arrived on set and of course I didn’t really know how to ride a horse, and that horse .. tried to kill me.
“Funnily enough, years later I did ‘A Beautiful Mind’ with Russell Crowe and he told me he has that horse.
“He was like, ‘Your horse on ‘Snowy River: The McGregor Saga’? I have that horse now.’
“I never ended up seeing the horse again. Who knows if that horse is still alive?”

OHMYGOSSIP — Desiree Akhavan says being “bisexual is a struggle” and still “incredibly taboo”.
The 44-year-old Iranian-American film director – who got critical acclaim for her 2018 movie ‘The Miseducation of Cameron Post’, which starred Chloe Grace Moretz as the titular character dealing with her own homosexuality – is attracted to both men and women but she says it’s still hard for people to identify with that sexuality as it doesn’t have the same sense of “community or backing” as lesbianism.
Speaking to The I Paper, Desiree said: “I’m the child of immigrants; I was raised in New York; I live in England; my parents are from Iran. I’ve never quite felt American, never felt Iranian. I’ve been openly bisexual but when I’m in a lesbian relationship, I always feel not gay enough; when I’m in a straight relationship. I always feel not straight enough.
“My life has been determined by being somewhere in between, and not quite belonging to any of the heavily organised communities that I was raised in.
“I don’t think it’s a nice one. It doesn’t have the community or the backing of ‘lesbian’. I still struggle with it. I’ve always had a difficult time identifying with anything.”
Desiree – who stars in and directs new Channel 4 comedy drama series ‘The Bisexual’ – has confessed she still hasn’t yet “found her place in the world” and struggles with knowing exactly where to fit in.
Desiree added: “You think that you’ll know your place in the world and you’ll be happy. It’s very strange, and it’s not at all the case. I still feel like I haven’t found my place in the world. That might be something I take with me my whole life.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Iggy Azalea is going to write a biography about her move to America to follow her dream of becoming a pop star.
The ‘Fancy’ rapper left her native Australia to launch her music career in the US when she was 16 and she has announced she is penning a book about the experience which will share some of her most personal moments with her fans.
Iggy is creating the tome with her friend David Ritz, who has previously written biographies on stars such as Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles and Janet Jackson.
Sharing the news with her 7.95 million followers on Twitter, she wrote: “Me & David Ritz are writing a book about my life in Australia/moving to America as a kid etc. I’m really excited although it will take about a year to complete. I feel like I don’t speak much about that stuff in my songs and it will help my fans understand me on a deep level. (sic)”
It seems that the pair got the idea for the book during a lunch meeting on September 28.
Iggy tweeted on that day: “I’m going to go and have lunch with my friend David Ritz today & honestly I’m so excited; I’ve been reading his books all week – I think he’s brilliant. (sic)”
The new project is some positive news for Iggy who had to announced at the weekend that she was having to cancel her planned North American tour due to unforeseen circumstances, leaving her legions of fans disappointed.
Apologising for pulling the plug on her ‘Bad Girls Tour’, she tweeted: “Believe me – i was really excited for this tour … and im genuinely disappointed it cant happen this year – The choice was out of my hands and not my call to make. I hope i will get to see you all in person one day. I love you. (sic)”
