Radio host forced to leave studio live on air after receiving tragic news
A popular radio host has been forced to leave her morning radio show on Wednesday after receiving 'tragic news'. Jade Robran, who hosts FIVEAA's Winter Breakfast show with Tom Rehn, was presenting her program before abruptly leaving the studio just before 7am. Tom then addressed her shock departure, informing listeners there had been a death in her family. 'Jade unfortunately has had to go home, there has been some unexpected and very tragic news, there's been a death in her family so we wish Jade all the very best,' he said. 'Hope you're okay, Jade, if you're driving home listening right now. Jade, we love you. We hope you're okay with the rest of the family. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Hopefully she'll be back tomorrow. That's very, very sad news.' Tom continued presenting the show on his own until 9am. It comes after a Melbourne radio star surprised fans by announcing his shock departure. Jack Post, 37, who has made a name for himself on The Christian O'Connell Show on Gold FM, quit the program on in May in an emotional Instagram post. Jack shared a slew of snaps from his time on the show, including one of him playing a guitar in the studio with Christian O'Connell and another with his wife Bianca and son Gordon. Telling fans that it was one of the 'hardest decisions' he had ever had to make, the radio host revealed the reason why he was calling his time on the popular breakfast program. 'I love this show deeply, and it has given me so much. But there is something in my gut telling me it's time to close this chapter and write the next one,' he wrote in the caption. 'When I left radio with Hamish & Andy in 2017, I honestly didn't know what was next for me then — but I had an excitement and giddiness for the thrill of what it could be. He added: 'I'm so happy it turned out to be The Christian O'Connell Show. 'It's time to step away again, make space, and see what's next,' he shared. Jack said that he was grateful for the listeners who tuned in for the morning show over the years. 'Thank you to each and every listener who chooses this as their breakfast show. 'I love talking to you in the mornings, I love meeting you on the street — don't stop saying hello,' he wrote. The radio star then went on to thank his colleagues at the station, particularly Christian, who he said had been on of the 'most profound relationships of my life'.

Beloved country singer Felipe, 24, dies in horrific but avoidable pick-up truck death
Brazilian country music singer Felipe died Monday at the age of 24. The promising artist had been hospitalized since Sunday when he fell off the back of a pickup truck in Araguaína, a city in the central state of Tocantins. Felipe, whose real name was Felipe Alves, was in serious condition and being treated for cerebral edema at Araguaína Regional Hospital, according to his manager Diego Rony. Brazilian newspaper Metropoles reported that Felipe fell headfirst from the speeding pickup truck. Felipe joined his childhood friend Raphael Sousa in 2024 to form the group Felipe & Raphael. A shocked Felipe paid tribute to his best friend with a heartbreaking post on his Instagram Stories that featured a picture of the duo smiling. 'I will always remember you like this, smiling, singing, motivating, and caring for everyone around you,' Felipe's caption read. 'Thank you for believing in my dream and including me in yours! I will always honor your name and always make a point of telling who Felipe really was, MY FELIPAO. 'Hug, talk, declare yourself, don't be afraid to live, life is short, a shot, fear and excuses will make you not value incredible people, everything passes very quickly in this world.' The country music duo was planning their first project, an EP titled 'Extended Play,' later this year. Rony lamented that he will not be able to hear Felipe's morning greetings any more. 'Felipe is no longer with us physically, and this pain is difficult to put into words,' the band manager wrote on his social media Tuesday. 'But what remains, forever, is what he left on our stages, backstage, in rehearsals, in conversations, and in our dreams. 'Our group will no longer have his "good mornings" or his messages, always full of life. But spiritually, he will remain with us - accompanying every step of our journey. Our family, our band, our work... our history. 'The duo Felipe & Raphael was born with a purpose and a flame that he helped to ignite. And this flame, now, will be kept alive by all of us.' Brazilian country music singer Felipe, one-half of the duo Felipe & Raphael, was sitting on the flatbed of a pickup truck when it sped away and caused him to fall headfirst into the road pavement in Araguaína, a city in the central state of Tocantins, on Sunday. Felipe was rushed to Araguaína Regional Hospital, where he was treated for a brain injury and died Monday Fellow country music singer Matheus Oliveira was stunned by the news of Felipe's death. 'You were AN INCREDIBLE LOVE! Thank you for all our moments, thank you for all the advice, thank you for all your help in difficult situations, thank you for the friendship, for the laughs, thank you FOR EVERYTHING,' Oliveira wrote. Country music artist Yuri Geovanny wrote: 'Our last meeting was two weeks ago, and he told me how happy he was to be working on what he truly loved. Rest in the peace of Christ, my friend!' 'You were a light on this earth, my friend!' Felipe's friend, Dr. Fernanda Vitória added. 'Those who knew you know that you were a human being that everyone loved to be around. May God welcome you with open arms, prince!
