Victoria Beckham Sends Sweet Message To Husband David As She Shares Pictures Of Him In Hospital
Victoria Beckham has revealed that her husband Sir David Beckham was recently admitted to hospital.
On Friday morning, the former Spice Girls star shared a picture of the recently-knighted football legend lying in a hospital bed, with his right arm in a sling, on her Instagram story.
He could also be seen with an anode attached to his chest while wearing a hospital gown.
Although Victoria did not share any details of how or why Sir David ended up in hospital, he did seem to be in high spirits, smiling towards the camera in her photo, which she accompanied with the message: 'Get well soon, daddy.'
In a second snap from his hospital bed, the 50-year-old striker could be seen holding a friendship bracelet, again emblazoned with the message: 'Get well soon.'
According to The Sun, David was in hospital for surgery to repair a wrist injury he acquired during a football match more than 20 years ago. David Beckham's team had no comment when contacted by HuffPost UK.
So far, 2025 has been a massive year for the former England striker.
Last month, he celebrated his 50th birthday with a massive, star-studded party, attended by members of his family and some of his A-list friends.
Weeks later, it was revealed he had received a knighthood in King Charles' birthday honours, for his services to both sport and charity.
However, he and his family have been in the headlines for less desirable reasons, amid rumours of a feud that has developed between his eldest son Brooklyn Peltz Beckham and his younger brother Romeo Beckham.
In the last few weeks, David has sent several public messages of support to Brooklyn, which he has not acknowledged publicly. Brooklyn was also absent from his dad's 50th birthday celebrations in May, at which the rest of the family were present.
David and Victoria celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary last year. The couple share four children: 26-year-old Brooklyn, 22-year-old Romeo, 20-year-old Cruz and 13-year-old Harper, who is their only daughter.

Residents unveil giant 'animated' mural
A six-storey high mural has been unveiled on a housing block in east London, inspired by the memories of those living on the estate. The Priory Court Unity Banner in Walthamstow was created by the street artists INSA, along with local residents, who shared their stories in workshops as part of a project celebrating the heritage of the community. The giant artwork illustrates the area's links to the sewing trade and the artist William Morris, nods to the global diversity of residents and celebrates nature and community. It has been created as an "augmented reality" artwork, so that it appears to animate as a moving GIF when looked at through a special viewer app. Ideas for the theme of the mural were developed during estate-wide resident consultations, which included face-to- face interviews, focus groups and workshops. Young people engaged in the project by learning some of INSA's painting techniques, while some older residents contributed by making appliques that were sewn on to the mural. Mustafa, a trainee mural assistant, said it "meant a lot" to him to work on the project. "I learned a lot of things, a lot of skills I didn't know about before." He added that "everyone smiles" when they look at the mural. Ibrahim, who helped produce the work, said he thought it would make the community "stronger and more connected". "I think the mural is absolutely incredible. You can just look at it and you can see that it tells a wonderful story."

'There will always be demand for street buskers'
Buskers have entertained city-centre crowds throughout history, with many famous faces starting out on the streets. But with the music industry going digital, fewer consumers carrying cash - and increasing fears about safety – how is the artform faring? Last week, Jason Allan announced he was no longer setting up his pitch in Leeds after a number of violent incidents. He also cited the move from cash to card payments as a reason playing on the streets was increasingly difficult. "It was a couple of things that happened in a very short period of time," he said. "People have less money, you know it's gone from cash to card so I think it was difficult from the get-go but I could handle that, it was just more that when the threat of violence came in, that's when it became a little bit too much for me." Mr Allan's recent confrontation with some teenagers went viral last week with more than 17m views. While busking around the UK – including in London, Birmingham, Glasgow and Newcastle – Mr Allan films his performances for his Instagram and TikTok pages. His approach as a musician is to use busking to promote shows inside venues and meet new people. "I give myself a month to promote the show," he said. "I'm meeting lots of new people on the streets, building a bit of a community, selling tickets, telling them about me and my music. "Leeds was a bit more difficult this time and I think that it's just become more difficult for all buskers." Bradford-based Jake Keating, 28, also busks in Leeds. But he does not stream his performances to TikTok and is "not looking for a viral video either". "I understand the way the music industry is geared up," he said. "A significant portion of breaking into the industry is in and around online content. "I busk to connect with people. I personally choose not to stream because I'm not looking for a traditional career in the music industry." Mr Keating is a leading member of Keep Streets Live, a community group set up to support and protect buskers. He said a lot of the group's work was about promoting the benefits of art in public spaces. "Performances in public spaces are a really important foundation and cornerstone of our national identity," he said. "I can see all aspects of society come together, whether it's people who are sleeping rough, people who are out on the town having a night out - they all come together and dance or party or enjoy an experience and a lot of people respect that and really appreciate it. "I'm really sorry to see the interaction Jason had and it wasn't a positive one this time around. "I want to reassure people that Leeds isn't a dangerous place. It's such a brilliant city and it's a safe city, it's a really welcoming city. " But on the streets of Leeds on Wednesday, busker Katie Gittins described a recent incident in which her takings were stolen. "He literally took everything I'd made that day and I'd only made like 15 quid," she said. "I was pretty hungry at the time and I was trying to get the money together for a gas and electric bill. "When it is most of your income, it does weigh on you a hell of a lot more. Buskers like Jason have the luxury of having income from another place." Ms Gittins has been busking for about three years, mostly in Leeds, but also in Leicester, Wakefield, Bradford, Newcastle, Sheffield and Richmond. While we're talking a busker approaches Ms Gittins to warn her that another performer has had their sound equipment stolen. "In the last couple of months, that's the second load of someone's musical equipment that's been stolen," she said. "This whole week has just felt weird. I don't know if that's the result of all the tensions that fizzled over during the heatwave. "But to me, the altercation I saw that Jason caught on video. Honestly, that looks like a regular Saturday night." She blames the increasing difficulty of busking on streaming and lack of music education in school. "Withdrawing the funding from the arts has meant young children are not introduced to music or taught to respect it," she said. "The modern streaming system means everybody can just download music for free. "A lot of my friends are independent artists. It just seems like they're not getting anything back for the effort they're putting in and it's not just them." A spokesperson for Leeds City Council said any safety concerns should be reported to the police. "We are proud to support busking as a vibrant part of our city's culture," they said. "Keeping people safe, and ensuring they feel welcome in the city, is a priority for us and our Safer Leeds team works in partnership with other organisations across the city, including emergency services, to achieve this." Nick Broad is co-founder and former CEO of The Busking Project, which is behind the busking payment platform allows performers to get tipped via Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal. "There are fewer street performers today because of cashless payments," he said. "The cost-of-living crisis and gentrification push struggling artists out of city centres and add to that the rising inflation, street performers need to be earning more than ever before but they are earning less." But despite backing the revolution in digital payments, Mr Broad is wary of encouraging buskers to push their art online. "I can't stand the digital landscape," he said. "During lockdowns people set up online and put time and money into looking good for Zoom concerts. That's all good but then we came out of lockdowns. "If you create music and upload it to platforms like TikTok or Spotify you're competing with an algorithm for views and it's not always about artistic integrity." works with artists in Australia, the US, Canada and the UK. And safety is not a concern Mr Broad regularly hears people complain about. "Busking is the one part of outdoor city life that has lasted from ancient times until now. The hawkers, market traders, kids playing games, news callers and so on have all been eradicated," he said. "Street performers are still there for a very good reason: there will always be demand for entertainment, and people will always be willing to support a good show."

Osimhen or Isak? Gags and Grizz Break Down the Options
Liverpool Transfer Plans Heating Up: Isak, Osimhen and Ekitike in Focus as Gags and Grizz Weigh In As Liverpool navigate their most pivotal transfer window in years, the conversation around who leads the line next season is intensifying. On the latest episode of Chat G & G, Gags Tandon and Grizz Khan dived deep into the club's plans, weighing up the merits and possibilities of high-profile strikers Alexander Isak, Victor Osimhen and Hugo Ekitike. Isak: The Centrepiece of Liverpool's Summer? 'Isak is the one,' said Gags, emphatically backing the Swedish forward. 'If we do get him, that's the banger.' Grizz was equally enthused by Liverpool's intent. 'This is world record bid territory. We're prepared to make that move,' he revealed. Both agreed that Liverpool are lining up a statement signing and are ready to strike—if Newcastle United open the door. Advertisement However, Grizz raised a cautionary note on timing: 'If Isak says, 'Let me give Newcastle a Champions League run-out,' it's over. Liverpool won't wait. Not at 28.' Gags added, 'This is now or never. It's very clear we've got plans B and C, but Isak is the gem.' Osimhen: The Certified Goal Machine While Isak may be the club's top priority, the discussion pivoted compellingly to Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. Grizz labelled him 'the most certified goalscorer available right now,' while Gags passionately defended the Nigerian's character and resilience. 'People talk about his attitude, but if you've been racially abused by your own club's social media, would you just take it?' Gags said. 'Victor Osimhen is a lion, a killer. Why wouldn't you want someone with that fire in him?' Advertisement If Liverpool cannot prise Isak away from St James' Park, Osimhen may become more than just an alternative. He fits the bill physically, technically and mentally, and Grizz believes he could be 'absolutely electric' with the likes of Salah and Diaz around him. Ekitike: Raw Talent or Future Star? The wildcard in the conversation was Hugo Ekitike. While less experienced than the others, the former PSG striker was cited by Gags as 'one for the future.' He noted Liverpool's ability to scout talent just before it explodes: 'They want to go for the real deal, but if that doesn't happen, they go for the next best… younger, more room to grow.' Grizz, however, wasn't sold on Ekitike as a standalone solution. 'We're not bringing in two number nines. If we go for Ekitike, it cannot be at the expense of a proven starter.' Ruthless Rebuild Under Slot What stood out most in this Chat G & G instalment was the club's intent to act like a heavyweight in the market. 'This is what you call succession planning, future-proofing for the next four or five years,' Gags declared. 'We've got the funds, the project and the vision. The only thing left is the execution.' Advertisement Grizz, while usually measured, agreed: 'We've said for years, 'When will we act like a big club?' The time is now.' As the Liverpool faithful await official movement, the names of Isak, Osimhen and Ekitike remain at the heart of a potential frontline evolution. And if Gags and Grizz are right, the Reds aren't just buying players this summer—they're building a new identity.
