Ah, the busker's classic. Lovely to see Bono & Edge together again, especially since they spent lockdown in different countries. I'm guessing this means there may be plans afoot 🤔

I can't believe permanently closing Brixton Academy is even being considered. It is 1 of London's great historic venues, the heart of Brixton, bringing 1000s of people's footfall to the area nightly. #SaveBrixtonAcademy - Sign the Petition via @UKChange

Tyler the Creator let's Theresa May have it for banning him in 2015. Not a great #Brits for Conservative PMs.

Patti Smith played @U2 's Love Is All We Have Left. It was beautiful. & such a compliment to a band who have always loved the punk poet queen.

I was queuing for a #Glastonbury burrito, when my phone rang. "Neil, it's Elton." 😳 He wanted to tell me how moved he was by yesterday's @Telegraph front page story. Read it below ..

Why Elton John is pop’s original radical

Elton’s last ever British gig at Glastonbury marked the swansong of a star who conquered pop not by fitting in but by standing out

Oh wow. I remember that gig in the school car park. 1978. Think I recognise faces in the crowd too.

I gave 5 Stars to @raye at the @RoyalAlbertHall but she deserves 10. What a talent. What a show.

Raye: the most talented artist since Adele and Amy Winehouse

The south Londoner stormed the Royal Albert Hall and proved once again that she deserves to be to be Britain’s next superstar
