Mary J. Blige lights up Tottenham Hotspur stadium
Mary J. Blige delivered a spectacular performance at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. She captivated the audience with her futuristic look and commanding stage presence. The legendary R&B and hip-hop soul queen embraced a bold, avant-garde style that perfectly matched the energy of the massive venue. Mary J Blige took to the stage dressed in a striking blue rhinestone-encrusted outfit by NAMILIA, which shimmered under the stadium lights. This dazzling ensemble, paired with her iconic thigh-high boots, made her look every bit the queen she is often hailed to be, according to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The outfit change came after an energetic first half of the show, where she wore a bright yellow two-piece that radiated confidence and star power. The futuristic fashion was not just a statement of style but also a symbol of her enduring influence in music and culture. The concert was part of a high-profile event that also featured hip-hop legend 50 Cent and American rapper A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie. Mary J. Blige's set was a masterclass in live performance. Mary J Blige was backed by a six-person live band, three backing singers, and four dancers, creating a rich and dynamic soundscape. Throughout her set, she performed hits like Family Affair , Share My World , and the emotional No More Drama . The singer delivered them mostly without backing tracks—a rare feat that showcased her vocal prowess and authenticity. Behind her, a giant crown symbolised her queen status, while later video clips of her past interviews and music videos added depth and nostalgia to the experience. This blend of past and present resonated deeply with the audience, many of whom have followed her career for decades. 'Performing here in London, in such a grand stadium, feels like a full-circle moment,' Blige said. 'It's about celebrating where I've been and looking forward to what's next'. The concert also highlighted the growing trend of large-scale music events in iconic stadiums, which bring significant economic benefits. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium alone contributes roughly £344 million (about R 10.3 billion) annually to the local economy. Mary J Blige's futuristic look and powerful performance at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium were a testament to her enduring legacy. She continues to evolve as an artist while honouring her roots, making her a true inspiration for music lovers worldwide. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.

FUTURA Returns to Chicago for a 'Family Affair' at Anthony Gallery
Summary FUTURAis back withAnthony Galleryin Chicago for a solo exhibition calledFamily Affair. Though FUTURA is best known for his roots in New York City's graffiti scene, the presentation marks his first solo show in Chicago. He shares a personal connection to the city through his mother Billie who was born in Chicago and FUTURA spent summers there throughout his childhood, visiting his grandmother who suffered from chronic illness. The exhibition coincides with the 50th anniversary of his mother's passing, adding a deeply personal layer to the presentation. In a statement, FUTURA reflects on those summers in Chicago, remembering peach cobbler on the porch, learning what a pantry was and the comfort of a home that felt far removed from his New York apartment. ''Family Affair' suggests my journey has come full circle,' he said in a press statement. The exhibition features new large-scale paintings, collages, a six-panel work and pieces made on skateboards. Altogether, these works continue FUTURA's evolution as a multidisciplinary artist in all spheres of the art world while weaving in personal memories and cultural references. The show opened June 17 and runs through July 26. Anthony Gallery1360 W Lake IL 60607
