X Factor legend breaks down in tears after being forced to cancel string of show
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Lucy Spraggan has done her best to hold back tears when announcing the cancellation of upcoming shows. In 2012, the then 20-year-old appeared on X Factor, getting through the audition, boot camp and judge's house stages before withdrawing from the competition four weeks into the live shows, citing illness. It was years later, in 2023, that she finally revealed the real reason for her exit – sharing the shocking story of how she'd been sexually assaulted during a night out with the cast and crew. Lucy's harrowing experience was shared in her autobiography Process, which was followed by her seventh studio album, Balance, the next month. This week she released her album Other Sides of the Moon. But while promoting her new release, Lucy has been left devastated after falling ill. Sharing a video on Instagram, the 33-year-old fought back tears while saying: 'This is absolutely the last message I wanted to be putting out. 'I woke up yesterday not feeling well, and today woke up feeling even worse and we've had to make the decision to reschedule the outstore shows this week. 'Because my throat feels like it's got razor blades in it and my nose is completely blocked. 'Not just that it doesn't feel responsible to be meeting with you guys to be signing things and hugging you and saying thank you because I don't want you to feel this way either.' Lucy went on: 'I'm so grateful to every single person who has pre-ordered an album.' She then choked up at the prospect of 'letting people down.' After explaining she would reschedule the shows, Lucy finished the video by saying: 'I'm really sorry to anyone that was coming to London, Leeds, Liverpool and Glasgow – I really really hope I'll get to see you when I do these shows soon.' She then confirmed they would be rescheduled to August. Despite Lucy's concerns she was letting fans down, many rushed to offer their support. 'Oh Luce, so sorry to hear this. You are what's most important. Get well soon,' Rach commented on Instagram. 'Oh Lucy!! We love you, all we care about is your health. Get better soon and don't beat yourself up. We love you!!!' Maxine shared. 'You're not letting anyone down Lucy. You can't help being ill. Always prioritise your health. We all appreciate you so much, how much you always go above and beyond for your fans. Hope you feel better soon,' Kirsty added. Lucy had been due to kick off her shows at the Jacaranda Baltic in Liverpool tomorrow. This morning, she went on to share another post thanking people for their support. 'This week did not go the way I had planned. It's the first week my brand-new album is out, arguably the most important week to be scrambling around playing shows, encouraging people to listen to it, to buy it, to tell their friends all about it and I'm sitting at home in bed feeling the worst I've felt in a long time,' she began. 'I've tried to ask what the universe could possibly be doing?! I've cried a lot and queried how this could at all be part of the plan for the bigger and better picture, I implicitly trust that what is for me will not pass me by so, HOW?! And, I almost got stuck there for a sec. 'But. And a big but…yesterday I put a video out to say I wasn't going to be able to do the shows. I was very emotional because the idea of letting so many people down (people that have made plans and spent time, money and energy on getting to the shows) made me feel so, so upset. The OUTPOURING of love and positivity I received from you has been an absolute glimmer in a really rough time. Your words matter so much. More than you could possibly know.' Although Lucy said yesterday was 'a really dark time in the house', she was thankful for 'such a gift with your words of love'. She then thanked fans for their 'patience, understanding and kindness'. More Trending Admitting it was 'harder to promote' her album from bed, her fans had proved she 'already had everything I need'. Lucy's latest release is a mix of new songs and reimagined fan favourites from past albums. Speaking to Pink News about the record, she explained: 'I have this perspective on the past that it's such a big part of your present [so] it was really nice to go back and dig around in [my discography] and cultivate it to be what I always wanted it to be.'

Judge temporarily blocks Noem from killing TSA workers' collective bargaining deal
A union scored an initial victory in its challenge to stop the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from stripping collective bargaining rights from employees at the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA). The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) argued that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has no power to end an already authorized seven-year contract, accusing the secretary of targeting the union after it brought a number of suits on behalf of government workers. U.S. District Court Judge Marsha Pechman, a Clinton appointee, granted a preliminary injunction barring Noem's decision, first announced in March. 'AFGE has demonstrated a strong likelihood that the Noem Determination constitutes impermissible retaliation against it for its unwillingness to acquiesce to the Trump Administration's assault on federal workers. AFGE has shown the Noem Determination likely violates Due Process, having afforded no notice or process for AFGE and its members to work with DHS and TSA to resolve any disagreement before simply shredding the contractual promises of the CBA,' she wrote, referencing the collective bargaining agreement. 'And AFGE has shown it is likely to succeed in showing the Noem Determination is arbitrary and capricious in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act, particularly given its complete disregard for the 2024 CBA and its mischaracterization of AFGE's role.' The union celebrated the decision. 'Today's court decision is a crucial victory for federal workers and the rule of law,' AFGE president Everett Kelley said in a statement. 'The preliminary injunction underscores the unconstitutional nature of DHS's attack on TSA officers' first amendment rights. We remain committed to ensuring our members' rights and dignity are protected, and we will not back down from defending our members' rights against unlawful union busting.' The contract affects the roughly 50,000 agents who do security screenings at airports across the country. In its announcement, DHS leveled a number of claims against the union, including that TSA workers 'will no longer lose their hard-earned dollars to a union that does not represent them.' DHS also claimed TSA had more officers working on union work than screening passengers in 86 percent of airports — something the AFGE said was mathematically impossible.

NPR sues Trump admin over executive order to cut federal funding
WASHINGTON — National Public Radio and three of its affiliates in Colorado sued the Trump administration on Tuesday over a sweeping executive order signed earlier this month that would terminate the outlet's federal funding. In a suit filed in DC federal court, NPR and three stations — Colorado Public Radio in Centennial, Roaring Fork Public Radio in Aspen and KSUT Public Radio in Ignacio — alleged that President Trump's order unconstitutionally infringes on First Amendment protections. 'The Order's objectives could not be clearer: the Order aims to punish NPR for the content of news and other programming the President dislikes and chill the free exercise of First Amendment rights by NPR and individual public radio stations across the country,' attorneys representing the radio stations wrote in the 43-page filing. Advertisement 'The Order is textbook retaliation and viewpoint-based discrimination in violation of the First Amendment, and it interferes with NPR's and the Local Member Stations' freedom of expressive association and editorial discretion,' they said. 'Lastly, by seeking to deny NPR critical funding with no notice or meaningful process, the Order violates the Constitution's Due Process Clause,' they added. 4 On May 1, Trump signed the executive order yanking federal funding for NPR and PBS. AP Advertisement On May 1, Trump ordered federal funding yanked from NPR and Public Broadcasting Service, arguing: 'Government funding of news media in this environment is not only outdated and unnecessary but corrosive to the appearance of journalistic independence.' The president had railed that the 'two horrible and completely biased platforms … should be DEFUNDED by Congress, IMMEDIATELY,' in a March 27 Truth Social post. NPR CEO Katherine Maher had been hauled before a congressional panel that day before to answer questions about her left-leaning outlet's failure to cover the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. 4 The president had previously railed that the 'two horrible and completely biased platforms … should be DEFUNDED by Congress, IMMEDIATELY,' in a March 27 Truth Social post. AFP via Getty Images Advertisement 'I do want to say that NPR acknowledges we were mistaken in failing to cover the Hunter Biden laptop story more aggressively or sooner,' Maher told members of the House Oversight Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE) Subcommittee. Maher also faced uncomfortable questions from Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) about social media posts as recently as 2020 in which she claimed America was 'addicted to white supremacy' and argued in favor of reparations for slavery. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russ Vought the following month asked Congress to claw back $1.1 billion in taxpayer funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which provides some funding for both NPR and PBS, as part of a rescissions bill that could pass by a simple majority. 4 'I do want to say that NPR acknowledges we were mistaken in failing to cover the Hunter Biden laptop story more aggressively or sooner,' Maher told a congressional panel in March. AFP via Getty Images Advertisement The Corporation for Public Broadcasting had been slated to receive $535 million in federal funds in fiscal years 2025 and 2026 to distribute to radio and TV stations — including NPR and PBS. Upwards of 70% of CPB's budget goes toward more than 1,500 local public media stations. NPR takes around 1% of its funding from CPB, while PBS receives up roughly 15% of its revenue from the nonprofit. 4 Maher faced uncomfortable questions from Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) about social media posts as recently as 2020 where she claimed America was 'addicted to white supremacy' and argued in favor of reparations. Getty Images Other revenue streams include major foundation grants and advertising as well as viewer and listener donations. CPB previously sued Trump on April 29 for trying to fire three of its board members. 'The CPB Board shall cease direct funding to NPR and PBS, consistent with my Administration's policy to ensure that Federal funding does not support biased and partisan news coverage,' Trump stated in his order days after the attempted ouster. Advertisement 'The CPB Board shall cancel existing direct funding to the maximum extent allowed by law and shall decline to provide future funding,' he added, giving a June 30 deadline. Other agency heads like Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. were also deputized to cut taxpayer funding for public broadcasters failing to comply with anti-discrimination laws related to 'race, color, religion, national origin, or sex.' The Post reached out to the White House for comment.
