Lewis Capaldi and Lorde top UK charts after Glastonbury performances
Alternative pop star Lorde's new record Virgin reached number one on the album chart after she performed all 11 tracks at a secret set at the Woodsies stage on Saturday. Scottish singer Capaldi also made an emotional return to the Somerset festival last weekend, performing his new song Survive which has since gone to number one on the singles chart. Capaldi performed a 35-minute set at the Pyramid stage, two years after struggling to manage his Tourette syndrome symptoms while singing on the same stage. Speaking to Official Charts, Capaldi thanked fans who had streamed and downloaded Survive, saying it 'really means the world'. 'I've been away for a little while, and to come back to this outpouring of love and support has been absolutely incredible. 'I can't thank everybody enough for all the kind words since Glastonbury – and now this. 'It's been the best week of my life,' he said. Speaking to the festival crowd on Saturday, he said: 'It's so good to be back. I'm not going to say much up here today, because if I do, I think I will probably start crying. 'But it's just amazing to be here with you all, and I can't thank you all enough for coming out and coming and seeing me. 'Second time's a charm on this one, everybody. 'It's just a short set today, but I just wanted to come and kind of finish what I couldn't finish the first time round.' Introducing Survive at the festival, Capaldi became visibly emotional as he said: 'The last two years haven't been the best for me, it's been difficult at times. 'This has been my f****** goal, to get back here,' he added. He ended his performance with Somebody You Loved, the track that Glastonbury crowds helped him to sing when he struggled with his Tourette symptoms in 2023. The condition causes you to make sudden, repetitive sounds or movements and while there is no cure, treatment can help manage the tics, according to the NHS website. Virgin is Lorde's fourth studio album, and her previous three, Pure Heroine (2013), Melodrama (2017) and Solar Power (2021) all reached the top 10 of the UK albums chart. Lorde, 28, whose real name is Ella Yelich-O'Connor, took to the Woodsies stage at Glastonbury on Saturday to perform the album in full to the packed tent and a crowd gathered outside. The New Zealand-born singer pulled her top off to finish with a double hit of Ribs from her debut album Pure Heroine, which she said was first played at Glastonbury in 2017, and Melodrama's Green Light, during which the lasers turned from blue to green. The final song prompted a football terrace-style singalong that almost drowned out Lorde herself. She is best known for songs such as Homemade Dynamite, Solar Power and her second single Royals, which reached number one in the UK singles chart.

Bob Vylan singer says ‘only good pig is a dead pig' in anti-police rant
The singer of punk band Bob Vylan said the 'only good pig is a dead pig' in an anti-police rant, new footage has revealed. A video shared by the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism (CAA) appears to show the group's frontman, whose real name is Pascal Robinson-Foster, saying to the crowd: 'How do you lot feel about the police? The only good pig is a dead pig.' It is understood that the incident occurred at the Rebellion Festival in Blackpool in August 2023. Robinson-Foster sparked controversy last week after leading the crowd at Glastonbury in chants of 'death, death to the IDF' [Israel Defence Forces]. The band were performing ahead of an appearance by Kneecap, the pro-Palestinian Northern Irish rap group. The chant was taken up by the crowd, many of whom were waving Palestinian flags. The incident has left Tim Davie, director-general of the BBC, fighting for his job after Lisa Nandy, the Culture Secretary, demanded answers over the live-streaming of the event and 'more accountability' from the corporation's leadership. The Chief Rabbi also criticised the BBC for broadcasting the chants and described the incident as a 'time of national shame', adding: 'Toxic Jew-hatred is a threat to our entire society.' 'Appalling hate speech' The band's visa, ahead of its 20-city tour through the US, was also revoked by the State Department, and Sir Keir Starmer condemned Robinson-Foster's 'appalling hate speech'. The Prime Minister told The Telegraph that the corporation urgently 'needed to explain how these scenes came to be broadcast'. In response to the new footage, a CAA spokesman said that they had contacted the police over the latest chants, adding: 'Before they were calling for 'death to the IDF', we can reveal that Bob Vylan were insulting police officers and extolling 'dead pigs'. Calling for the death of people you dislike isn't art: it's cheap and dangerous. 'It should carry consequences. We have alerted police in Lancashire and Somerset, who are already investigating the Glastonbury performance.' The CAA had previously called for Mr Davie to be sacked. The BBC has since said that it will no longer live broadcast 'high-risk' performances following the incident. Corporation officials also admitted that the band were judged 'high risk' during an assessment of Glastonbury acts, but deemed them suitable for live-streaming, subject to the use of language or content warnings. A BBC source has previously told The Telegraph that Mr Davie believes he can weather the scandal. Following the Glastonbury incident, Lorna Clarke, the BBC's head of music, who was the most senior executive in charge of the corporation's coverage, stepped back from day-to-day duties. Bob Vylan's performance at Radar festival in Manchester was cancelled after the incident at Glastonbury. According to an organiser, Kneecap were suggested as a replacement for the band. The Irish rap trio have also caused controversy in recent weeks, with member Liam Og O hAnnaidh, also known as Mo Chara, appearing in court in June charged with a terror offence. Kneecap said they have 'never supported' Hamas or Hezbollah, which are banned groups in the UK. 'Make a statement' Speaking on the 2 Promoters, 1 Pod podcast, Radar organiser Catherine Jackson-Smith said the festival was 'forced into a position' they did not want to take in dropping the band from their upcoming headline slot this Saturday. On acts that could replace Bob Vylan, Ms Jackson-Smith said her colleague Joe had suggested a Kneecap 'secret set' in order to 'make a statement'. But she added: 'We might end up with somebody that has no discernible political opinion in any manner at this point, because if they're free and they could play on Saturday, maybe that is the criteria that we're looking for at this stage.' Avon and Somerset Police and Lancashire Police have been contacted for comment.

Lewis Capaldi 's new track Survive soared to the top of the charts this week after he made an emotional return to music at Glastonbury last weekend. The 28-year-old Scotsman's comeback came after he took a two-year hiatus to focus on his mental health and 'adjust' to his Tourette's diagnosis. He returned with the track Survive, released last Friday, detailing a difficult two years - and it's been a huge hit with millions of fans across the country. Lewis has landed not only his biggest ever, but the largest opening week of any single released this year with the comeback track. Survive has shifted a whopping 68,500 units in its first week, including more than four millions streams, surpassing the much-loved singer's previous best of 56,000 with his 2022 song Forget Me. Gushing about the support he's received since his highly-anticipated comeback last week, Lewis said: 'Survive is this week's UK Number 1, and I want to say a massive thank you to everybody who's been streaming it, downloading it - it really means the world. 'I've been away for a little while and to come back to this outpouring of love and support has been absolutely incredible. 'I can't thank everybody enough for all the kind words since Glastonbury - and now this! It's been the best week of my life. I hope you continue to enjoy the song, it means a lot to me.' Lewis pipped Michigan DJ and producer MK to top spot, with his Chrystal collab Dior sitting in second in place, while filling the remaining three spots on the top five are Sabrina Carpenter's Manchild, Rayvn Lenae's Love Me Not andPink Pony Club by Chappell Roan. Such is the mania surrounding Capaldi's return that streams and sales of his old music also sky-rocketed. Streams of signature track Someone You Loved shot up by 115%, while his 2019 chart-topping album Divinely Inspired surged by 198%. And amid the astounding success of his new single, Lewis announced this week that he will be embarking on a UK tour later this year consisting of 10 dates. He will play at Sheffield, Aberdeen, Birmingham, Nottingham and two dates at the 02 arena. Pre-sale tickets go on sale on July 8, while general sale is on July 10. The Bruises hitmaker was greeted with cheers from the huge Worthy Farm crowd on Friday, following a two-year career hiatus. Delighted to be back in front of an audience he tearfully said: 'Two years ago I wasn't sure if I'd ever do this again, but I'm back baby!'. Lewis sung a number of his famous hits, before once chocking back tears as he performed brand new single Survive, which highlights the difficult period in his career following his last Glastonbury gig. Fans in the crowd could be seen crying and calling out his name before joining him in a rendition of mega-hit Someone You Loved. In his emotional speech, Lewis said: 'Glastonbury it's good to be back. Won't say too much up here today as if I do I might start crying, but I can't thank you enough for coming here and being with here'. 'Second times a charm hey! It's a short set today but just wanted to come and finish what I couldn't last time, also this was like the worst kept f*****g secret ever'. Following his set Lewis took to Instagram with footage of his performance alongside a post which read: 'Glastonbury it's so incredible to be back, thank you so much for having me x' Fans and famous friends rushed to the comments to welcome the talented musician back into the public eye. Sam Fender said: 'Return of The King', while Alan Shearer said: 'Love It': Paddy McGuinness gushed: 'Governor' and Jade Thirlwall shared a slew of loving emojis. Following his emotional set at Worthy Farm in June 2023, the singer took time off to focus on his mental health and to 'adjust to the impact' of his Tourette's diagnosis. Also performing on Glastonbury's first day was CMAT, Lola Young, Alanis Morissette, as well Lorde with her own secret set. It came hours after Lewis shocked fans by announcing his comeback on Instagram, sharing a snippet of his new song and the Henry Dockrill directed accompanying music video. Captioning his exciting post, he simply wrote: 'It's been a while…' before directing his followers to the link to his song in his bio. The short video features sweet moments throughout Lewis' life and career, including snippets from his childhood. The new song has been described as a 'brutally honest track that addresses mental health challenges of self-doubt and despair', highlighting the difficult period in his career following his last Glastonbury performance.
