Glastonbury headliner branded 'dreamiest boss' after paying for entire crew's th
Mental health in the music industry has been a hugely important topic in recent years, and one Glastonbury headliner has gone above and beyond. Olivia Rodrigo has been declared the 'dreamiest boss' by her guitarist, Daisy Spencer, after paying for the whole crew to have therapy. She closed the 2025 lineup on Sunday night, with a cameo from The Cure icon Robert Smith, after memorable sets from Lewis Capaldi, Lorde, and Bob Vylan. The Jealousy Jealousy hitmaker was widely applauded for her performance, and it seems that she also praised for her kindness off-stage. During their time on tour, anyone who needed it could speak to a mental health professional whenever they wanted, all for free. 'I have never had anything like that,' the 31-year-old musician told The Stage Left podcast. She continued: 'That reignited the importance of therapy to me because I had just kind of fallen off for so long.' It's thought the therapy was available throughout the Guts World Tour last year, even if they were on a break at that moment in time. Daisy said: 'Suddenly I had this free resource of incredible therapists, and I utilised the crap out of that. I was going, you know, once a week, once every other week, whenever I could.' Branding Olivia as 'the dreamiest boss of all time', she added: 'Honestly, that was one of the coolest things that has ever happened on tour. 'It's not very heard of. It was the coolest thing ever.' Multiple artists have spoken out about their mental health, including Lewis Capaldi, who recently returned to music with an emotional Glastonbury set. He made a surprise appearance at this year's festival and announced a UK tour for later this year, but there was a very real chance he wasn't going to make a comeback. Lewis described the 2023 show as 'literally the worst moment' of his life but that therapy has been a 'massive part of the reason' he's 'able to be a musician again' two years later. In 2022, Liam Gallagher raised awareness of male mental health with his new music video for Too Good For Giving Up. The 50-year-old Britpop legend said at the time: 'We all know someone affected by suicide which sadly seems to be at an all-time high. 'I've lost many people far too early and it's important to talk. I'm really pleased to be able to help in anyway with this song and will be partnering with Talk Club on my track 'Too Good For Giving Up' LG x' After Liam Payne's death and various documentaries on the impact of boy bands on singers, questions about the protections around young stars in the industry. More Trending Mental health charity Mind previously shared research suggesting that those in the music industry are 'more prone to mental health problems than the general population'. Musicians are said to be 'up to three times more likely to suffer from depression'. The Music Industry Therapy Collective (MITC) has now set up the Online Tour Health And Welfare Coaching service to provide aid to any professional musician who is struggling. Got a story?

Bristol in Pictures: Painting the town red
Not only has the sun had his hat on this week, but there have been loads of big events in Bristol. Bristol City secured their place in the play-offs and a shot at the Premier League, and the Bristol Folk Festival began. Rovers and City legends took each other on for charity at the Mem, and morris dancers welcomed in the start of May. There was also a sneak preview of the next Gromit Unleashed trail, an award win for a cutting-edge Bristol company, and a special procession through the city on Saturday morning. Sneak preview: With two months to go until the next Gromit Unleashed sculpture trail returns to the city, organisers the Grand Appeal and Aardman have released pictures of how the artists, including Paula Bowles (above), are getting on with their unique creations. All smiles: The Bristol Folk Festival began on Friday at St Georges, with Talisk (above) among the performers. The event continues on Sunday with performances beginning at 13:00 BST at both the Folk House and St Georges. Painting the town green: You may have seen Bristol's Jack in the Green heading from the Harbourside up to Horfield on Saturday. The event welcomes the summer each year, keeping alive a tradition that would have been commonplace across England a couple of centuries ago. Legends return: Past heroes from Bristol Rovers and Bristol were pitted against each other on a warm evening at the Mem this week in aid of charity Talk Club, which helps men with their mental health. Rovers took the win on a night organised by the Bristol Rovers Community Trust, Bristol City Robins Foundation and Talk Club itself. May day: Morris dancers welcomed in May as dawn crept across Bristol on Thursday, keeping their traditions alive. Revving up: Fowlers Motorcycles held the first of this summer's bike nights on Friday, bringing together enthusiasts of all things on two wheels. The events will continue on the first Friday of each month. Packed out: More than 700 people visited the popular St Werburgh's City Farm as it held its Spring Fair last weekend. Come on down: Whitehall Rugby Club hosted an all-women day at the weekend to help it develop more all-female sides at its base in the east of the city. Winners: Dynisma, based just outside Bristol, won Technology Company of the Year at the 2025 British Business Awards. Founded by former Formula One engineer, Ash Warne, Dynisma makes high-performance driving simulators for motorsport teams. Painting the town red: Year Six pupils Headley Park Primary School showed their support for Bristol City when players Zak Vyner, Joe Williams and Elijah Morrison dropped in as part of a Robins Foundation event this week. Cutting edge: The dBs Institute of Sound & Digital Technologies held a new showcase at the Loco Club at Temple Meads on Thursday, featuring cutting-edge sound art created by third year students at its Bristol campus. Brains of Bristol: Staff from 11 Bristol hotels took part in a quiz organised by the Bristol Hoteliers Association (BHA), raising £1,250 for the Brain Tumour Support Charity.
