It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tina Turner. With her music and boundless passion for life, she enchanted fans worldwide and inspired future stars. We say goodbye to a dear friend who leaves us her greatest work; her music. Tina, we will miss you dearly.

RIP Glenda Jackson. Always remember her ripping into the ‘Thatcher was a feminist’ rewriting of history during the fawning over the most destructive politician ever. #GlendaJackson #IStillHateThatcher

🙏🏻 Gino, thank you for the light, the joy, and the laughs you brought us all, we will miss you as a rider and as a person. ❤️ Today and every day, we ride for you, Gino. 🔗 bit.ly/3qSoyRx

Gino Mäder era di quelli che era più semplice voler bene, per cui provare una simpatia. Aveva quel sorriso magnetico, il modo di fare educato e uno sguardo sempre in bilico tra gioia e malinconia. Un ricordo. Ciao Gino ilfoglio.it/sport/2023/06/…

Nothing Compares 2 U. Heart broken hearing the news of the passing of Sinéad O’Connor, such an inspiration

This is such a tragedy. What a loss. She was haunted all her life. What a talent. I remember my first Grammy show meeting this small shy Irish girl. #Sinead #RIPSinead Sinead O’Connor Dead at 56 – Rolling Stone rollingstone.com/music/music-ne…

A lot of the chat today re BBC's The Reckoning will be about Steve Coogan's performance. We can only think about Saville's victims. Trauma is long-lasting and far reaching. If you've been triggered by this programme, please reach out for support.

I’m pretty sure I’m being shadow-banned or something is being done to change the algorithm. The numbers keep changing on this tweet. Please retweet the OP if you think these politicians are war criminals.

Brilliant talk by Esther Stanford Xosei. Shameful that University of Chichester shut down the MRes on Black history #SavetheMRes #BlackBritishHistory

🚨 VICTORY RMT welcomes resounding victory against ticket office closures RMT today welcomed the government’s complete withdrawal of its ticket office closure plans in light of passenger watchdog objections as a complete victory.🧵 #SaveTicketOffices

The Director of the UN's New York office just resigned after thirty years at the organisation over the UN's handling of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians. The entirety of his resignation letter is a necessary read but this first page blew me away.

Really pleased to write about Gaiety Girls Phyllis Broughton and Connie Gilchrist for the ODNB. #GaietyGirls #VictorianLondon #VictorianTheatre #GaietyTheatre #19thcentury

In Hoxton, birthplace of a certain John Hollingshead, for the British Music Hall Society conference at Hoxton Hall. Fabulous building: it’s a real music hall among the local community. Excited for the talks, esp. those on race and music hall #britishmusichallsociety #hoxtonhall

Couldn’t find the star for the top of my Xmas tree so put the late great Liberace, who said he did classical music with the boring parts taken out, up there instead. John Hollingshead of the Gaiety Theatre would have approved. #liberace #gaietytheatre

‘Perhaps the last man in England who had a personal recollection of Charles Lamb, and who had known Mary Lamb intimately’: John Hollingshead and the Lambs. Honoured to be giving a talk to The Charles and Mary Lamb Society on 24 May eventbrite.com/e/john-holling…
