Sir Elton John is charging a whopping $1.9 million
A source told The Sun, 'Elton is booked to perform for an hour. He will play a selection of his songs, including some of Eve and Harry's favourites. A concert from Elton doesn't come cheap. Apparently they've forked out over £1 million to have him perform. It's going to be incredibly special.'
The couple is said to be going for a theme that blends 'upper class English luxury with a cool, modern American vibe.' Event planner Stanlee Gatti, 69, is handling the wedding arrangements.
Wedding guest list includes
The guest list reportedly includes several high-profile names. Former Vice President Kamala Harris, a close friend of Laurene, is expected to attend, along with Bruce Springsteen's daughter and equestrian Jessica Springsteen, 33, and former Apple design chief Sir Jony Ive, 58. Matt Helders of the Arctic Monkeys is also said to be invited.
Eve's siblings, Reed Jobs, 33; Erin Jobs, 29; and half-sister Lisa Brennan-Jobs, 47 are expected to be present. Lisa is Steve's daughter from his earlier relationship with Chrisann Brennan. Harry's father, Olympic gold medalist Peter Charles, 65, will also attend with their extended family.
The wedding is being planned like a military operation
One insider described the preparations as intense, 'This is a very quiet place not far from the Cotswolds. Everyone is used to tourists and famous faces, but this is something else. The wedding is being planned like a military operation.'
Security around the venue is expected to be tight. The nearby village will reportedly go into lockdown from Wednesday as guests arrive by private jet at Oxford airport, with helicopters on standby to fly them to the wedding estate.

MAGA singer's Canada gigs cancelled: Backlash over Sean Feucht's anti-diversity views; organisers cite safety risks
Sean Feuch (Picture: Instagram) US singer Sean Feucht's permit to hold a concert at the York Redoubt National Historic Site in Halifax was cancelled this week by Parks Canada. Officials cited safety concerns following public backlash against his anti-2SLGBTQ+, anti-women's rights, and anti-diversity remarks on social media. Feucht, a religious performer with links to the MAGA movement, was scheduled to perform on Wednesday. His permits for other events in Charlottetown (P.E.I.), Moncton (New Brunswick), and some parts of Quebec were also revoked soon after. LGBTQ+ groups welcomed the decision. Cameron Cassidy, head of Pride P.E.I., said, 'The City of Charlottetown absolutely did the right thing by revoking that permit. It shows respect for the queer community.' But not everyone agreed. James Turk, director at Toronto Metropolitan University's Centre for Free Expression, said cancelling a permit over a person's views is dangerous. 'The foundation of democracy is public discourse, including ideas we disagree with,' he said. 'Censorship only amplifies such voices.' Feucht later performed at a private venue in Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia, hosted by pastors Christine and Neil Barr. They said they faced hundreds of hate messages and some protests but went ahead with the show. In response to criticism, Feucht posted: 'If I had shown up with purple hair and a dress, no one would've cared. But my Christian beliefs are seen as a threat.' Opponents said his views go against Parks Canada's values of inclusion and safety. Turk countered that while physical safety must be ensured, 'a subjective feeling of being unsafe' isn't legal grounds to silence someone.

Tom Lehrer, master of musical satire and mathematics, dies at 97
AP Tom Lehrer, song satirist and mathematician, dies at 97 Tom Lehrer, the renowned American satirist, singer-songwriter, and mathematician best known for his darkly humorous songs that skewered politics, social taboos, and the absurdities of the Cold War era, passed away on Saturday, July 26, 2025, at his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He was 97 years old. Lehrer's longtime friend David Herder confirmed the news, though the cause of death has not been disclosed. Born on April 9, 1928, in Manhattan, New York, Lehrer was a mathematical prodigy who entered Harvard University at the age of 15. He earned his bachelor's degree in mathematics at just 18 and went on to obtain a master's degree from Harvard the following year. Though he began doctoral studies, he never completed his dissertation. Lehrer's academic career spanned teaching positions at prestigious institutions including Harvard, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the University of California, Santa Cruz, where he spent much of his later professional life devoted to education rather than entertainment. Lehrer first gained national recognition in the 1950s through self-produced albums that featured his clever, politically charged, and taboo-breaking songs. His work hit wider audiences in the 1960s when he was featured on the American television program That Was the Week That Was (TW3), a satirical news show hosted by David Frost. Lehrer's sharp wit and musical skill made him a cult favorite, with songs that remain influential for their cutting humor and musicality. His 1965 album That Was the Year That Was reached number 18 on the U.S. charts. His repertoire includes enduring classics such as 'Poisoning Pigeons in the Park,' 'The Masochism Tango,' 'Be Prepared' (a satire of the Boy Scouts), 'The Old Dope Peddler,' and 'The Vatican Rag,' which amusingly lampooned religion with lines like 'Down on your knees, genuflect, genuflect.' Lehrer's song 'The Elements' is famous for setting the names of chemical elements to the melody of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance and is regarded as one of the cleverest educational songs ever the success of his musical career and his wide influence—he inspired future musical parodists such as 'Weird Al' Yankovic—Lehrer largely abandoned performing and recording after the late 1960s to focus on his academic career. In 2020, he made headlines by relinquishing all rights to his songs, placing his work into the public domain for free public for his classical piano training starting at age seven, Lehrer admirably balanced his dual passions for music and mathematics throughout his life. Though he never married or had children, his legacy endures through his contributions to musical satire and the mathematics community.
