Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next.' A screenshot of the second Instagram story that Orlando Bloom shared about healing. Image: Instagram stories According to 'Page Six', a source disclosed that their romance had come to an end early in June. 'It's over. They are waiting 'til her tour is over before they split,' the source said. While 'People' reported that a source revealed that Perry's recent album '143', which was released last year, did not do well in terms of sales, which has left Perry frustrated, and her stress caused tension in the relationship. The source shared: 'Perry was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album. It made her very stressed. Bloom was understanding, but it did cause some tension.' Shortly after that, it was reported that the actor came solo at Jeff Bezos's Italian wedding in Venice and introduced himself as a single man while Perry is in Australia for her Lifetimes Tour. The 48-year-old was also spotted hanging out with Sydney Sweeney and Tom Brady on Saturday, June 28, a day after the star-studded wedding. Perry has also been spotted without her engagement ring in her recent Instagram posts, which raised eyebrows. Perry and Bloom got engaged in 2019, four years after they publicly confirmed their relationship. A year after getting engaged, the couple announced that they are expecting their first child in one of Perry's music videos. Fans continue to speculate about their relationship as the pair have not yet publicly spoke about the split.

BBC regrets not cutting 'antisemitic' Bob Vylan Glastonbury live stream
Britain's BBC said on Monday it regretted not stopping the live stream of Bob Vylan's set at Glastonbury music festival after a member of the punk-rap duo led what the broadcaster called antisemitic chants against Israel's military. Saturday's set included onstage chants of 'death, death to the IDF', a reference to the Israel Defence Forces fighting a war in Gaza, and 'From the river to the sea, Palestine must be, will be, inshallah, it will be free'. The national broadcaster's decision to keep the set streaming live was condemned by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and drew scrutiny from media regulator Ofcom. 'From the river to the sea' is a hotly disputed phrase in Israel, often taken as a call for Israel's destruction and a denial of its right to exist, though many Palestinians dispute that. The BBC, which broadcasts the festival in southwest England, issued a warning on screen for strong and discriminatory language while the set was being streamed online, but said on Monday it should have gone further. 'The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves,' the BBC said in a statement. 'The team were dealing with a live situation but with hindsight we should have pulled the stream during the performance,' the BBC added. 'We regret this did not happen.' The rap duo's lead vocalist, who also goes by the stage name Bobby Vylan, wrote on Instagram: 'I said what I said,' adding he had been 'inundated with messages of both support and hatred'. 'Teaching our children to speak up for the change they want and need is the only way that we make this world a better place,' he said in the post, apparently in reference to the incident. Bob Vylan, known for their mix of grime and punk rock, have been outspoken about their support for Palestinians in the past. Their songs tackle a range of issues including racism, homophobia and the class divide. The BBC said it would look at its guidance around live events so that in future its teams were clear on what is acceptable content to be shown. Earlier on Monday, Ofcom said it was 'very concerned' about the BBC's live stream of the performance and that it 'clearly has questions to answer'. 'We have been speaking to the BBC over the weekend and we are obtaining further information as a matter of urgency, including what procedures were in place to ensure compliance with its own editorial guidelines,' an Ofcom spokesperson said via email. Police have said they were considering whether to launch an investigation, but did not name Bob Vylan or Irish rap band Kneecap, who also performed at Glastonbury and criticised Israel. The Israeli embassy in London also condemned the incident, while Starmer demanded answers from the BBC on 'how these scenes came to be broadcast'. Political statements by musicians on stage have been in focus since a member of Kneecap was charged last month with a terrorism offence for allegedly displaying a flag of Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militant group that is proscribed as a terrorist organisation in Britain. He denies the offence.
