Drake postpones concert due to 'travel logistics'
Drake has postponed his planned Manchester, England concert at the last minute due to "travel logistics". The One Dance rapper was scheduled to perform as part of his co-headlining concert tour with PartyNextDoor, titled Some Special Shows 4 U, at the Co-op Live arena on Monday night. However, a representative for the venue announced on Sunday evening that the show will now take place on 5 August. "Due to unforeseen ferry schedule and travel logistics, tomorrow's performance in Manchester on July 28th has been rescheduled," a post on the arena's website reads. "The good news is that Drake will now perform in Manchester on Tuesday, August 5th, and it's set to be an unforgettable night." All tickets remain valid for the new date. Drake has not yet commented on the news. The 38-year-old dropped the collaborative album, Some Sexy Songs 4 U, with fellow Canadian star PartyNextDoor, real name Jahron Brathwaite, in February. The Some Special Shows 4 U Tour marks his first trek of Europe in six years, following his Assassination Vacation Tour in 2019. Drake and PartyNextDoor will next play a trio of gigs at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam starting on 30 July.

Country pub of the week: the Angel on the Bridge, Henley-on-Thames
Pubs are keepers, protectors, collectors. Mostly of memories — walk in and there they are, behind the bar with the optics. The Angel, a pretty, black-and-white beamed Georgian place that stands tall beside the Thames, is full of them — there are the regulars here, the ones who only stop in before and after the Regatta, those on a weekend away. The pub's position is its everything, which is what keeps people coming back. Under hanging baskets blooming with petunias and begonias, benches line the waterfront, as if at any moment they might tip in. People have been known to. Views stretch down the river, full with cruisers, and sometimes a parade of Dunkirk boats. The beer is fine, with good Brakespear ales, and the wine list to the point. Food is fine. But really, you're here to make memories. Thameside, Henley-on-Thames, RG9 1BH,
