The crowd of over 200,000 then began echoing his lyrics back to him as he stood and watched in tears from the stage. Upon his return today, he again held back tears as the crowd enthusiastically greeted him. "Glastonbury. It's so good to be back," the singer said from the stage. "I'm not going to say much up here today because if I do, I think I'll probably start crying. "But it's just amazing to be here with you all and I can't thank you all enough for coming out and coming and seeing me." Lewis Capaldi has made an emotional return to the iconic Glastonbury Music festival after taking two years off due to his struggle with tourettes syndrome. (Getty) ITV reporter Rishi Davda was in the crowd when he came on stage, telling the Today Show that Capaldi made a triumphant return. "When Lewis Capaldi's name was put up on the big screen and he walked out, it was not like anything I've ever experienced in a number of years at Glastonbury Festival," he said. "He sang every song with so much passion, but when he said that first note, you could see he was back doing what he loved. "That kind of radiated throughout the hundred thousand people potentially, that may have been watching. It was a really, really beautiful moment." Singer songwriter Lewis Capaldi walks onto the Pyramid Stage during day three of Glastonbury festival 2025 at Worthy Farm, Pilton on June 27, 2025 in Glastonbury, England. Established by Michael Eavis in 1970, Glastonbury has grown into the UK's largest music festival, drawing over 200,000 fans to enjoy performances across more than 100 stages. In 2026, the festival will take a fallow year, a planned pause to allow the Worthy Farm site time to rest and recover. (P (Getty) Capaldi took a two-year break from all public performances following the Glastonbury performance in 2023 to work on his physical and mental health. His return to the stage was supposed to be a secret, but there were some hints around the festival grounds leading up to the show, including lyrics from his songs plastered on a billboard nearby. Capaldi has always been open about his struggles with Tourette's syndrome, a neurological disorder that causes involuntary and repetitive movements and sounds, referred to as tics. music music festivals UK World entertainment CONTACT US

'All of the time you wasted being mad/We could've been cute and we could've been stupid,' Rapp sings on the chorus. 'Hey, you/All of the time, you wasted in your head/We could've been having sex.'

Jean Chatzky sends strong message on buying vs. leasing a car
For millions of Americans, deciding whether to buy or lease a car is one of the most significant - and confusing - financial decisions they'll make. The car market is increasingly complex due to shifting interest rates, tariff concerns, and the rise of electric vehicles. It poses a tough question for consumers: "Should I buy this car outright, or would leasing be the smarter move?" Former Today Show financial editor and bestselling author Jean Chatzky explores the question in an episode of her "Everyday with Jean Chatzky" podcast. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter At first glance, leasing seems attractive. Lower monthly payments, the ability to drive a new vehicle every few years, and minimal repair responsibilities are hard to ignore. But those perks come with trade-offs - such as mileage limits, wear-and-tear fees, and the lack of vehicle ownership at the end of the term. Meanwhile, buying - whether with cash or a loan - offers long-term (although quickly depreciating) equity, freedom from contracts, and the pride of full ownership, but often requires a larger financial commitment up front. Related: Jean Chatzky sends strong message to Americans on Social Security The decision about whether to buy or lease a car is about lifestyle, flexibility, driving habits, and future plans. Do you rack up high mileage with a long commute? Are you planning to expand your family and need a reliable vehicle for the next decade? Are you more interested in enjoying the latest tech features and trading in every few years? Chatzky discusses some of these issues with Edelman Financial Engines wealth planner Andy Smith. Chatzky explains her perspective and behavior that informs her decision making when it comes to buying or leasing a car. "I've been a buyer for many years in part because I tend to drive my cars over the three years that you would have them on a lease, but I also was a commuter for many, many years and I knew that I would put more mileage on the car than the lease would allow," she said on her podcast "Everyday Wealth with Jean Chatzky." "That's not true these days with so many people working from home," she added. In response, Smith clarified his view that people arrive at this decision from their own experiences. More on retirement: Dave Ramsey offers urgent thoughts about MedicareJean Chatzky shares major statement on Social SecurityTony Robbins has blunt words on IRAs,401(k)s "It depends on your particular situation. In the past, the wear and tear, the use calculus was absolutely important," he said. "Now, it's more how often do you want a new car." Smith also addressed the issue of taxes on cars. "One other thing that I would say is how sales tax is calculated when you're leasing versus when you're buying," he said. "When you're leasing, remember, you're just paying for the amount of time that you're going to actually own and use the car. So, a lot of times the sales tax calculation is going to be a little bit less because you're not on the hook for the entire price." "When you purchase, the sales tax is going to be there," he continued. "So, that's something else to keep in mind as you're going through these sorts of decisions." Related: Dave Ramsey has blunt words on spending money to keep a dog alive Chatzky asked Smith directly about his view generally on whether to buy or lease a car. "The good adviser in me would say it depends," Smith said, before offering more specific advice. "But, a lot of times I'm going to advise people it's often better to lease a car than to buy, if a couple of things: If you like a new car every couple of years, if you drive less than 15,000 miles, if you're not just going to beat the absolute tar out of the car over that period of time." Smith suggested that when people look at leasing, there are a couple of things he wants them to keep in mind. "Don't choose any additional options with a leased car because the dealer's going to charge you for them and you're not going to get your options back when you turn it in," he said. "Make sure that you get gap insurance. This protects the person leasing the car from having to pay the difference between the residual value and the market value at the end of the lease." He also said people looking at leasing a car ought to avoid the cap cost reduction and avoid putting a larger deposit down to reduce their monthly payments. "That's where people get tripped up a lot of times," Smith said. "They think, 'I want to pay 700 bucks a month' and then they kind of back in to the calculation from there. So that's something to keep in mind. The big thing to do is not lease beyond the car's warranty." "On the overall decision, you just have to understand yourself."

Celebrities Lead the Charge on the Bob Hair Trend for Summer 2025: Leslie Bibb, Halle Berry and More
Buckle up — it's a bob girl summer. First popularized by movie legend Mary Thurman in the 1920s, 'the bob' has rapidly made its way onto almost every star-studded scene and red carpet over the last year. From Hailey Bieber to Zendaya and even Nicole Kidman, there's been no shortage of stars who haven't taken the plunge, chopping their long ends into a blunt cut above the shoulders. Some like Selena Gomez have kept their ends trimmed just in line with their shoulders, while others like Keke Palmer have stuck to traditional measures, clipping their hair chin-length and even adding micro fringe à la Anna Wintour. More from WWD The History Behind the World's Most Expensive Hats: From Princess Beatrice's Royal Wedding Headpiece to the $2.7 Million Chapeau D'Amour and More Scarlett Johansson and More Celebrities Revive the Controversial Side Part: The Hairstyle Dividing Millennials and Gen Z Princess Charlene Channels Modern Royal Glamour in Louis Vuitton for the Closing Ceremony of the Monte-Carlo TV Festival Leslie Bibb, a long-standing bob supporter (might as well call her Leslie Bob), is careful not to let her ends get too close to her collarbone, noticeably subscribing to a 'the shorter, the better' mindset. As a top model for the hairstyle, Bibb's also influenced other women in the A-list echelon. On Tuesday, she brought her hair artist Chris McMillan on the 'Today Show,' convincing Jenna Bush Hager to let him give her a bob — she was successful. Here, WWD takes a look at 10 celebrities who've rocked the short hair beauty trend, from Carrie Coon to Charlize Theron. Carrie Coon stepped out with her finely-cut bob during the 2025 Tribeca Festival in June. The 44-year-old noticeably clipped her tresses for her role in Mike White's 'The White Lotus' Season Three. Leslie Bibb kept her blond bob during an appearance on the 'Today' show on June 17. Bibb has worked with celebrity hairstylist Chris McMillan on the upkeep of her short 'do. Halle Berry stepped out with a balayage bob for the closing ceremony red carpet at the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival on May 24. Berry has worked with a number of hairstylists, including Neeko, Castillo Bataille and Renato Campora. Charlize Theron marked her return to the public eye with a dirty blond bob for her appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' on May 8. Adir Abergel has been her go-to hair artist, helping her achieve effortless waves above her shoulders. Sarah Paulson slicked her dark brown bob behind her ears at The MOCA Gala 2025 on May 31. Paulson has kept her tresses ultra-short for some time now, working mainly with stylist Michael Forrey. Pamela Anderson, a pioneer for the no-makeup-makeup trend, debuted a brand new bob at the 2025 Met Gala in May. She added finely-chopped micro bangs, flattening them on her forehead for the occasion. Nicole Kidman shocked the masses at the 2025 Met Gala when she stepped out on the carpet with slicked bob. Kidman has kept her hair long for most of her life in the spotlight, never truly straying from the style until the first in Monday in May. Ayo Edebiri gave her hair a trim above her shoulders for the SeriousFun Children's Network's 'A Night of SeriousFun' Gala in April. Edebiri has collaborated with her longtime hair architect Ro Morgan in the past, but it's not certain he was behind this look. Cynthia Nixon sported a blond bob at the 'And Just Like That…' Season Three photo call in May at Hotel Napoleon in Paris, a far cry from the burnt orange coloring she's kept as her character, Miranda, in the show. Rebekah Forecast is the stylist who's helped maintain her even cut.
