Ed Sheeran only wears white T-shirts
Ed Sheeran has shown off his wardrobe - but it only contains white t-shirts. The Shape of You hitmaker shared a funny TikTok video in which he showed off the contents of a clothing rail and explained when he wears each of the garments, despite them all being identical. Ed, who was wearing one of the plain white crew neck tops in the clip, pulled the hangers off the rail one by one and explained: "This is my wardrobe, and this is basically the T-shirt I wear to be on stage, and when I finish on stage, and I go out, I wear this T-shirt. "And when I have my day off and I'm trying to chill out, I wear this, which is always very important. "Sometimes if I'm actually going to be really really fancy, if I'm really fancy and I want to go out for a nice dinner, I wear this T-shirt. "Then, when I'm in the studio, I wear that. "And when I do the school visits with Kev, plain. "Spaghetti bolognese, but you might spill it — it'll be good. "So that's my wardrobe. What do you think?" An account for TikTok was quick to join in the joke. They commented: "Was hoping to see your fav clothes to scroll TikTok in [cry laughing face emoji] (sic)" Ed previously admitted his friend Sir Elton John is one of the biggest critics of his "boring wardrobe". The Castle on the Hill singer wore an uncharacteristically colourful Versace blazer to the 2021 GQ Men of the Year awards and explained at the time his pal had given him some advice on what to wear to the event. He told The Sun newspaper at the time: 'Before I came tonight I FaceTimed Elton to show him the results. He's been slagging off my boring wardrobe for years. "I'm not really a fashion guy but I've had to start to show an interest – he loves it. Elton approved — it's very him. 'I actually feel pretty good in it and it's a while since there were big events on, so here I am. I'd feel less comfortable in an ordinary suit. It's easier being in this.'

Tom Dunne: My six favourite albums of 2025 so far
Glastonbury is but days away and if Glastonbury is in the air it means its late June, and if it's late June, then it's time for preliminary 'the year so far' lists. You can set your watch by it. BBC's epic coverage on TV, list making on the couch. You'll be buying schoolbooks next, laying in wool. As new music is my stock in trade I will of course argue that it's been a 'great year for music' so far. And it has, honestly, so let's do this. Stereolab, Instant Holograms on Metal Film The Anglo-French, avant-pop musings of Tim Gane and Laetitia Sadier were the first things I thought of when the UK voted for Brexit. 'Oh, please don't let their pop/krautrock/surrealist/philosophical musings be an early casualty of UKIP' I cried. I needn't have worried. Classic music has survived short-sighted foolishness before, and it will again. I think part of the reason Stereolab albums age so well is that they always sound as if they are from the future. Bren Berry, In Hope our Stars Align A debut solo album at 61 is the kind of uplifting story we need in these times. To not only find your voice as a singer but to then write 12 songs of such charm, grace and style is truly inspirational. A celebration of life, love, family, Dublin and music itself. The first nervous, tentative steps have been made into the world of performance and you will be able to see Bren at the All Together Now festival over the August Bank Holiday Weekend. Bon Iver, Sable Fable The first Bon Iver album that has genuinely blown me away and the first 'happy' Bon Iver album too, coincidence? I think not! As per Stereolab, Justin Vernon has an incredibly distinctive voice and sound, and it lends itself beautifully to uplifting music. The standout is probably Everything is Peaceful, Love, but If Only I Could Wait, a duet with Danielle Haim is stunning too. The entire sound of the album reminds me of the theme to Hill Street Blues, but I find that a very, very good thing. 'I want to feel good and feel happy,' he has said in interviews, to which I can only say you and me both, Vernon, you and me both. Waterboys, Life, Death and Dennis Hopper What a blast, what an idea. An entire album inspired by the life and wild times of Denis Hopper, friend of James Dean, Elvis, and Andy Warhol, a star of era defining films, one of which Easy Rider (1968) made him the ultimate symbol of disillusionment with the American Dream. Around this tale, his foibles, his dreams and the wild times he lived in Mike Scott weaves a magic web of sixties innocence and optimism, melancholy and regret. Wonderful stuff, altogether. Elton John / Brandi Carlile, Who Believes in Angels You can make a strong case that this is more a Brandi album than an Elton one but even that is just a tribute to his lack of ego in dealing with other people's talents and the time he spent as a session musician leaning to step aside and let others bloom. That said when Elton is Elton (The Rose of Laura Nyro, Never Too Late) it is classic Elton, and when Brandi shines – Swing for the Fences, The River Man - you can see why Elton is such a fan. Beautiful, beautiful album. Deep Sea Diver, Billboard Heart This Seattle band has been making music since 2009 but this is their first album for Sub Pop Records, a deal concluded after their last breakout album which saw them also tour with Pearl Jam. Singer Jessica Dobson is a gifted guitarist and has toured as such with The Shins and Beck. In interviews she has talked about this being a difficult album to make and how at one point she had to trust her gut and ditch the early recordings. Bloody good move. She has a great voice and the choruses are god like. If you like Alvvays or early Radiohead this is one for you. Surprised they aren't bigger here yet. And still to come: CMAT, the Seven Albums of Bruce, Lana del Rey, Barbra's Duets, Margo Price, Big Thief, Divine Comedy, The Lemonheads, Suede, Josh Ritter, Wet Leg, St. Etienne, Paul Weller and more. Some names, and this is the best bit, that we haven't even heard of yet!

Exclusive: Mill Valley Film Festival undergoing change at the top
Zoë Elton has been associated with the Mill Valley Film Festival since its inception. But the 48th edition of the event will be the first in more than three decades without her as director of programming. Elton told the Chronicle on Monday, June 9, that she is transitioning to a part-time role and intends to make more time for her creative pursuits. 'I have in my background as well a life in writing and creating art,' she said. 'I'm a regular cartoonist and I want to make more space to have my own creative life back. That is really key for me.' The California Film Institute, which runs the internationally recognized star-studded event each October, posted the job opening of artistic director — as the position will now be called — later Monday and intends to launch a nationwide search this summer. 'The work that we do is absolutely amazing, but the extensiveness of the work and the pressure of the work, it never goes away,' Elton said. 'I can't remember the last time I had an actual vacation. We're always working. So, as rewarding as it can be, I'd like to relieve the pressure a little bit.' Elton's said her new role will be 'curatorial.' Executive Director and founder Mark Fishkin told the Chronicle that the decision was '100%' Elton's, and that he'd have been happy to have her as director of programming for as long as she wanted the job. 'The good news is she's not going anywhere,' Fishkin continued. 'Obviously not in that role, but she'll be here to give additional wisdom and her many years of experience to the programming department and the organization in general. That's the good side of it.' Elton has spearheaded several ongoing programs at MVFF that have helped define the event's mission, most prominently Mind the Gap, an initiative championing gender equity in film. She also is known for her commitment to world cinema and emerging voices. She is a ubiquitous presence at the film festival, often conducting post screening Q&As with some of the world's biggest stars and filmmakers. 'It's been an extraordinary experience to help shape MVFF from its early days into a respected presence in the world of film festivals,' Elton said in a statement released later Monday. 'I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with so many incredible filmmakers and creatives and to introduce their work to our community. Championing new voices and engaging with artists at all stages of their careers has been a true gift.' Elton was born in Hereford, England, and attended drama school in Hampstead in northwest London. She came to the United States in the 1970s, intending to hitchhike across the country, go to Peru, then back to England. Instead, she fell in love with Northern California and stayed; she has lived in Oakland for decades. 'Knowing those rock star moments when you think, 'Oh yeah, I did that,'' she explained. As to what her advice might be to her successor, Elton didn't hesitate. 'Breathe,' she said. 'Stay grounded. Love what you do. Let go of what you don't love.'
