It's one vocal and guitar take from start to finish — one live performance of me and my friend Simon Aldred in a pure state of music and expression,' Smith shared. 'I wrote it five years ago while writing my last album 'Gloria' and then parked it because I knew it was not a song for that album. It was created during a time in my life where I became free within myself.' In regards to the residency, Smith claimed 'This residency is something I've been thinking about and planning in my head for a long time. It's such a different experience to play intimate shows, and I'm so excited to host this in a city that I adore' via Instagram. When the 32-year-old says 'intimate,' they mean it.

Rod Stewart shares special message for Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis
Rod Stewart welcomed Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis onto the Pyramid Stage during his Legends slot at the festival on Sunday (29 June), in a heartwarming move to mark Eavis's 90th birthday. Eavis, who will turn 90 in October this year, arrived on stage in a wheelchair, accompanied by his daughter Emily, the festival's organiser. As Eavis entered the main stage at Worthy Farm, Stewart, 80, greeted him with an embrace and a kiss on the cheek.'Happy Birthday to Michael Eavis, he's the guy who founded Glastonbury,' Stewart told the crowd. 'Let's all give him a big round of applause. Michael, where are ya? Don't be shy!' Stewart then launched into a performance of his 1975 hit 'I Don't Want to Talk About It', featuring a singalong from the enormous crowd. Eavis's appearance wasn't the only surprise of the show. Stewart brought out Simply Red singer Mick Hucknall straight afterwards, for a rendition of Simply Red's 1989 track 'If You Don't Know Me by Now'. He then welcomed Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood, for their 2004 Faces hit 'Stay With Me', followed by Scottish star Lulu. Elsewhere, Stewart's set included hits such as 'Maggie May' and 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?'. His performance came just days after he endorsed Nigel Farage in a newspaper interview, telling Brits to 'give Farage a chance'. He claimed that the Reform UK leader is 'coming across well' when asked about the political future of the UK. Eavis also made headlines earlier this week when he stated that those who disagree with Glastonbury's political leanings 'can go somewhere else'. The event has long been known for its strong political undercurrent, with stages such as Left Field and Green Fields' Speakers Forum regularly hosting politicians, pundits, and celebrities. Asked by the Glastonbury Free Press, the festival's resident newspaper, if the event still stands for something, Eavis did not mince his words. 'Oh heaven's above, yes, of course it does,' he said. 'And I think the people that come here are into all those things. People that don't agree with the politics of the event can go somewhere else!' US pop star Olivia Rodrigo will be closing the festival with her headline performance on the Pyramid Stage at 9.45pm on Sunday night. Keep up to date with 's Glastonbury live blog here.

Rod Stewart joined by trio of veteran superstars for rousing Glastonbury set
Rod Stewart was joined by a trio of veteran superstars during a rousing performance at Glastonbury Festival on Sunday. The tea-time legends slot saw him perform alongside his former Faces bandmember Ronnie Wood, Simply Red's Mick Hucknall, and Scottish singer Lulu. He was also joined by the festival's founder, Michael Eavis, who was wheeled onto the stage by his daughter, organiser Emily Eavis. The first music star welcomed to the stage was Hucknall, 65, for a rendition of Simply Red hit cover of Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes' If You Don't Know Me By Now. Rolling back the years, Stewart then performed Faces 1971 hit Stay With Me while The Rolling Stones star Wood, 78, played guitar. After this Lulu made her entrance, wearing an all-white ensemble, to sing Hot Legs alongside Stewart. Bagpipes had signalled the arrival of Stewart, who kicked off his afternoon performance with his 1981 single, Tonight I'm Yours (Don't Hurt Me). "I'm here, enjoy yourselves ladies and gentleman, please, music brings us together, we need music", he told the large crowd who had gathered to see him. The 80-year-old, who recently cancelled a slew of shows while recovering from the flu, wore flared trousers, a white shirt and a black jacket, before changing into a green suit. Across his set he played songs including Some Guys Have All The Luck, Forever Young, The First Cut Is The Deepest, and Maggie May, which he performed from a runway that jutted out into the crowd. Before he launched into a cover, Ukrainian flags were shown on a screen behind Stewart, who said: "There's been a lot about the Middle East recently, quite rightly so, but I want to draw your attention to Ukraine in the next song, it's called the Love Train." Earlier on Sunday, organisers said chants by punk duo Bob Vylan "crossed a line" after the performer, Bobby Vylan, led crowds on the festival's West Holts Stage in chants of "Death, death to the IDF". A joint Instagram post from Glastonbury and Emily Eavis said: "As a festival, we stand against all forms of war and terrorism." It added: "We are appalled by the statements made from the West Holts stage by Bob Vylan yesterday. "Their chants very much crossed a line and we are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence." UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting told Sky News' Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips that chants of "death" to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) at Glastonbury were "appalling" and that the BBC and festival have "questions to answer". A BBC spokesperson added: "Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan's set were deeply offensive. "During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language. We have no plans to make the performance available on demand." UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has spoken to the BBC director general about Bob Vylan's Saturday performance, a Government spokesperson said. Avon and Somerset Police said video evidence from Bob Vylan and Kneecap's performances would be assessed by officers "to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation". Kneecap, who hail from Belfast and Derry, have been in the headlines after member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who performs under the name Mo Chara, was charged with a terror offence. The group performed after Vylan's set on the West Holts Stage and in reference to his bandmate's forthcoming court date, Naoise Ó Cairealláin, who performs under the name Móglai Bap, said they would "start a riot outside the courts", before clarifying: "No riots just love and support, and support for Palestine". Irish noise rockers Gurriers asked if anyone had seen Kneecap's set during their Sunday performance, before adding: "Well it's the Irish takeover at Glastonbury this year I think." British soul singer Celeste opened the Pyramid Stage on Sunday before rock outfit The Libertines took to the stage. At one point in the set frontman Pete Doherty broke into Rod Stewart's Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?. Other notable performances came from British funk group Cymande, US singer Shaboozey, and Australian duo Royel Otis. Over at the Pilton Palais cinema actress Jodie Comer answered questions about her career and said she feels "really excited" to embark on the UK and Ireland tour of Prima Facie - the play that saw her win a best actress Olivier.
