Stevie Wonder sends blunt message to world leaders
The iconic musician insisted anyone in a position of power should be using their platform to "bring peace to all the world".
Speaking to the crowd during a concert in Birmingham in the UK on Monday (07.07.25), he said: "I believe we need the leaders of the world, to take advantage of what they've been given to do - to bring peace to all the world.
"I don't care who you are, you could be a president or a prime minister, it doesn't matter. Get your s*** together!"
Back in January, the Isn't She Lovely hitmaker was asked for his opinion on Donald Trump's inauguration after the President of the United States returned to the White House.
Stevie, 74, told TMZ at the time: "Guess what? I don't follow politics anymore.
"It's too much bulls***. You know what I follow? The truth."
In August 2024, he appeared at the Democratic National Convention and insisted the choice between Trump and his then presidential rival Kamala Harris was "clear".
He told the crowd: "Now is the time to understand where we are and what it will take to win: win the broken hearts, win the disenchanted, win the angry spirits—now is the time.
"This is the moment to remember when you tell your children when you tell your children where you were and what you did.
"As we stand between history's pain and tomorrow's promises, we must choose courage over complacency. It is time to get UP and go vote!"
Months later, during a tour in November 2024, Stevie called for unity.
He said during a concert: 'America as a whole needs to come together, because there's always someone – or some country somewhere – that wants to take away the concept of democracy and what it means.
'The reality is, we have to get to a place where we say, 'Listen, we all need to come together.' "
And Stevie insisted while some celebrities might shy away from talking about certain issues, he only answers to God.
He added: 'I think people are so scared of being canceled or being talked about – all this stupidness that goes on.
'God is my manager, so I've been given permission to manage myself. I allow people I trust around me to give me their feedback.
"I listen to them. But ultimately, I'm going to make my own decisions.'

Dean Cain worries Superman is woke
Dean Cain is concerned James Gunn has made Superman too "woke". The 58-year-old actor - who played the superhero in Lois + Clark: The New Adventures of Superman from 1993 to 1997 - admitted he has reservations about the filmmaker's new movie, which stars David Corenswet, and his vision for the character. He told TMZ: "How woke is Hollywood going to make this character? How much is Disney going to change their Snow White? Why are they going to change these characters [to] exist for the times?" James had previously compared his movie to "the story of America", with a central character who is "an immigrant that came from other places and populated the country." Referencing the traditional Superman motto of "Truth, justice, and the American way" - which has evolved over the years and has most recently been "Truth, justice, and a better tomorrow", Dean said: "We know Superman is an immigrant — he's a freaking alien... "The 'American way' is immigrant friendly, tremendously immigrant friendly. But there are rules. "You can't come in saying, 'I want to get rid of all the rules in America, because I want it to be more like Somalia.' Well that doesn't work, because you had to leave Somalia to come here... There have to be limits, because we cant have everybody in the United States. We can't have everybody, society will fail. So there have to be limits." Dean's comments came after James described Superman - which also stars Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor - as a tale of "basic human kindness". He told the Sunday Times newspaper: "'I mean, Superman is the story of America. An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country, but for me it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost ... "It's about human kindness and obviously there will be jerks out there who are just not kind and will take it as offensive just because it is about kindness. But screw them." And the DC Studios CEO believes a story of positivity and goodness is much needed in the world. He added: "This Superman does seem to come at a particular time when people are feeling a loss of hope in other people's goodness. "I'm telling a story about a guy who is uniquely good, and that feels needed now because there is a meanness that has emerged due to cultural figures being mean online. "And I include myself in this. It is ad infinitum, millions of people having tantrums online. How are we supposed to get anywhere as a culture? "We don't know what's real, and that is a really difficult place for the human brain to be. "If I could press a button to make the internet disappear I'd consider it. And, no, I don't make films to change the world, but if a few people could be just a bit nicer after this it would make me happy."

In flooded Texas, I saw the best of America – and the parts that make you shake your head
Guillen takes the time to show me around and speaks at length about what she saw on that terrifying night, including a family of five clinging to a tree and being swept away by the raging torrent. She also reveals she lost one of her own employees: 27-year-old Julian Ryan, who worked at Howdy's. 'He closed the restaurant with me that night, and he went home,' she tells me. 'Water got into his house and he had to break a window to get his family to safety – and he did. But he cut himself in the process, and he bled out.' His sister Connie Salas told KHOU-11 television: 'He died a hero, and that will never go unnoticed.' There were heroes aplenty in the aftermath of the disaster, and a great deal of southern hospitality. While I waited for Guillen, one of her staff, Jennifer Dickson, arrived carrying trays of breakfast tacos and pancakes for the team, having woken at 6am to cook. Courtney Friedrichs, who was volunteering as gatekeeper, happily gave me lunch while I waited: cajun sausage pasta and a fruit cup. Every community comes together in a crisis. As Friedrichs says, they put their differences aside. But one can't help but wonder if those differences – the political ones, at least – might contribute to a lack of preparedness. Lawmakers are now under fire for failing to pass a bill this year that would have set up a grant system for counties to buy new emergency communication equipment and build new infrastructure such as radio towers. One local representative who voted 'no', first-term Republican Wes Virdell, told the Texas Tribune: 'I can tell you in hindsight, watching what it takes to deal with a disaster like this, my vote would probably be different now.' On talkback radio, hosts and callers slammed Austin fire chief Joel Baker, who the firefighters' union accused of failing to dispatch vital resources in time. Austin mayor Kirk Watson said the union was politicising the tragedy amid budget negotiations. It seems nothing is immune from the political polarisation afflicting the US. At a vigil for the victims in San Antonio, I watched speaker after speaker lead the crowd in heartfelt prayer. Some tried to wrestle with the inevitable question of how a merciful God could wreak such heartbreak on so many, and for no reason. If there was a persuasive answer, it was lost on me. I wonder, too, whether the American deference to religious salvation creates a blind spot for real, terrestrial actions that could offer people a little more protection. When Guillen, who lost so much and witnessed such horror, says the flood was 'truly an act of God', I ask her whether the tragedy has altered her faith at all. Loading 'Not really,' she says. 'I am Catholic, and I believe God does things the way he does, and he's the only one who knows why. But there is a reason. 'And I truly believe that we, the people here on this beautiful earth are the ones that have to deal with it. And mother nature is powerful.'
