Singer Charli XCX weds The 1975 drummer George Daniel in intimate ceremony
The couple's close friends and family members were in attendance, including the British rock band's other members, except lead singer Matty Healy.
Charli XCX, 32, whose real name is Charlotte Emma Aitchison, wore a white off-shoulder Vivienne Westwood gown with a corseted bodice.
Daniel, a 35-year-old British record producer, was in a double-breasted suit jacket and a boutonniere which matched the bridal bouquet.
According to reports, the newlyweds shared a kiss on the front steps of the town hall, before she put on her signature black sunglasses and exited the venue.
The couple met in 2019 at the GQ Men of the Year Awards, and started dating in 2022. They have collaborated a few times, with the first being on Filipino recording artiste No Rome's song Spinning (2021), which saw Daniel as co-producer.
In November 2023, Charli XCX announced on Instagram that they were engaged.
She has been on her Brat Tour since late 2024, and will be wrapping up her final show in South Korea in August.
In February, the singer-songwriter picked up three Grammys (including Best Dance/Electronic Album for 2024's Brat) before winning five trophies at the Brit Awards, including British Artist of the Year, Best Dance Act, British Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Songwriter of the Year.
Apart from his contribution to The 1975, Daniel's production credits include British indie pop musician The Japanese House's albums Good At Falling (2019) and In The End It Always Does (2023). – The Straits Times/Asia News Network

Global experts call for cultural understanding, exchange in China's Harbin
Foreign experts pose for photos at the Chinese Baroque Historic and Cultural Block in Harbin, northeast China's Heilongjiang Province on July 12, 2025. – Xinhua photo HARBIN (July 24): While speaking of his bond with Chinese culture, 69-year-old British translator David Ferguson hummed a passage from the Peking Opera classic Dingjun Mountain, recalling how Chinese art has profoundly transformed his life. Ferguson, the honorary chief English editor of China's Foreign Languages Press, has lived and worked in China for nearly two decades. Over the years, his engagement with Chinese culture has deepened both professionally and personally – his son, who came to China with him as a toddler, has studied Peking Opera for many years and can now perform a range of opera pieces. He said he is proud of what his son has achieved, noting that his son's experiences have strengthened his belief that cultural exchange is his life's mission. Ferguson was a recipient of the inaugural Orchid Awards in 2023. The awards were established to honor international friends who have contributed to fostering cultural exchanges between China and the rest of the world. From July 11 to 14, Ferguson joined dozens of global scholars, cultural experts and awardees of this year's Orchid Awards on a visit to Harbin, the capital city of northeast China's Heilongjiang Province famous for its unique music and cultural offerings. To Ferguson, meaningful dialogue between civilisations often takes place not on grand stages, but during ordinary encounters – much like his bond with Peking Opera. 'We tend to associate cultural exchange first with fine arts, but ordinary people are in fact the protagonists of most cultural interactions,' he said. He recalled a visit years ago to rural areas in northwest China's Gansu Province to learn about local poverty alleviation efforts. Foreign experts visit the Space Museum of the Harbin Institute of Technology in Harbin, northeast China's Heilongjiang Province on July 11, 2025. – Xinhua photo In a village inhabited by the Dongxiang ethnic group, children welcomed him in a modest classroom by performing 'Auld Lang Syne' – a memory that remains vivid to this day. 'As a Scotsman, hearing the melody of my homeland in a Chinese village thousands of miles away brought tears to my eyes. It was the most precious gift I've received in China,' he said, noting that such moments of cultural exchange are more important than ever in a world troubled by conflicts and tensions. For German medical scientist Thomas Rabe, who also participated in the Harbin tour, cultural exchange has been consolidating his family's long-standing friendship with China and will continue to contribute to international peace and friendship. Rabe is the chairman of the John Rabe Communication Center, which is dedicated to commemorating his grandfather John Rabe for his role in protecting civilians during the Nanjing Massacre in 1937, an atrocity committed during Japan's war of aggression against China. Over the years, Thomas Rabe has dedicated himself to compiling over 20 volumes of wartime diaries written by his grandfather. He has donated thousands of pages of the original manuscripts to Chinese authorities and Unesco. These diaries have become invaluable historical resources for research on the Nanjing Massacre. Rabe also shared with Xinhua how a China-German medical cooperation project he helped launch at Capital Medical University in Beijing enabled a Chinese cancer patient to give birth to two healthy children. For his contributions to cultural and scientific exchanges, Rabe was awarded the Friendship Envoy Award at the second Orchid Awards earlier this month. 'For my family, China has been, is, and will always remain our second homeland,' he said. Guo Weimin, president of the China Public Relations Association and deputy chair of this year's Orchid Awards expert committee, emphasised that cultural exchange is a vital force for connecting civilisations and advancing the development of human society. 'Visionary individuals from around the world, including the Orchid Awards honorees and nominees, have made outstanding contributions to international cultural dialogue and mutual learning among civilisations,' Guo said. 'Their efforts inspire confidence in our shared pursuit of peace and common development.' – Xinhua China cultural understanding global experts Harbin Xinhua

Coldplay dedicates Nashville show to Ozzy Osbourne after his demise
Washington DC [US], July 23 (ANI): Coldplay dedicated a cover of Black Sabbath's soft-rock 1972 ballad 'Changes' to the late Ozzy Osbourne at their concert at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, reported People. John Michael 'Ozzy' Osbourne, the lead singer of British heavy metal band Black Sabbath, has died at 76. He breathed his last on Tuesday after a yearslong struggle with Parkinson's disease. Less than three weeks ago, Osbourne performed from a throne on stage at Villa Park, telling fans, 'You've no idea how I feel -- thank you from the bottom of my heart. 'The concert featured performances from Osbourne's friends, including Metallica and Guns N' Roses, and was billed as the heavy metal legend's 'final bow'. Before the show, a fan posted a video on X from outside Nissan Stadium, where the band could be heard performing 'Changes' during soundcheck. 'We'd like to dedicate this whole show to the incredible genius, talent, and character called gift to the world who was Ozzy Osbourne. We send our love to his family,' Coldplay frontman Chris Martin said in a fan-captured video from the concert shared on TikTok, according to People. Martin said remembering the legend, 'Ozzy, we love you, wherever you're going.' In his 2011 autobiography I Am Ozzy, co-written by Chris Ayres, the Black Sabbath frontman revealed that the lyrics were inspired by the end of guitarist Bill Ward's first marriage. Osbourne co-wrote the lyrics with Black Sabbath bassist and lyricist Geezer Butler, as per the outlet. 'I will never forget you - you will be in every single note I sing and with me every single time I walk on stage,' Yungblud wrote. 'Your cross around my neck is the most precious thing I own. You asked me once if there was anything you could do for me and as I said then and as I will say now for all of us the music was enough. You took us on your adventure - an adventure that started it all.' 'I am truly heartbroken. You were the greatest of all time,' concluded the rock star. Osbourne's family said in a statement on July 22, 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.' Osbourne is survived by his wife Sharon and six children, reported People. (ANI)
