BonJoviTalk @BonJoviTalk · 21h Honest thoughts on the 'Forever' duets album? I'm more interested now that we've got some good quality artists playing on it. Is it something I want? Not particularly. @robbiewilliams @AvrilLavigne @DefLeppard @springsteen

Maybe my expectations are not as high, they have been around for 35 years & they are an amazing live act but I am not expecting them to have hits but if they do good on them. .I was never a fan of the charts & getting that No 1 album is nice but I much prefer to see them still selling out stadiums etc & do what they do best & that is singing some great songs live & putting on a great show. I actually really liked their last album & I would not call myself a TT fan but I thought it was fresh & really different & pleased they took a change in direction. I have only recently listened to some of Mark Owens solo work & it's actually really good .

Tevez was just hilarious , ran circles around people , not bad for a 41 year old 😊. Normally I could watch the match online via a streaming platform but ITV is no longer available so had to put up with You Tube which was dreadful tbh, it just showed the actual match itself, showed very little of what was happening on the sidelines etc so I was like an 👹. Anyway I did enjoy the match itself, Nicky Byrne did his best & made some great saves, Robbie tried to get the crowd to sing Oasis songs. Huge money was raised again for Unicef which are a great organisation so well done to Jonny & Robbie . I noticed their names were credited at the end of the tv show .

'Soccer Aid gets bigger and better, and one change this year needs to stay'ITV's charity fundraiser continues to grow in stature and across the schedules. Ian Hyland ·Columnist Mon 16 June 2025 at 11:35 am GMT+1·5-min read England goalkeeper Paddy McGuinness during Soccer Aid for UNICEF 2025 at Old Trafford. (PA) Over on ITV1 last night Dermot O’Leary was at Old Trafford in Manchester, giving us an update on the state of play. "It’s a Sunday night in June when the football season is over," Dermot explained. "What else are we gonna do?" Well Dermot, for any fans looking for a bonus football fix the options were fairly clear. We could fall in with FIFA’s latest money-making scheme and watch the likes of mighty Bayern Munich stick ten goals past a bunch of postmen from New Zealand in the World Club Cup. Or we could tune into Soccer Aid, ITV and UNICEF’s very own annual money-making scheme, where you could see a bunch of celebrities and YouTubers being put in their place by seasoned ex-pros, and enjoy the "no reachy, no savey" spectacle of Take Me Out’s Paddy McGuinness trying to stop a trickler from TV chef Big Zuu sneaking in at his near post. ADVERTISEMENT For me it was always going to be the latter. It’s a much more satisfying viewing experience. Plus, it’s all for a good cause. By the way, is it just me or does Soccer Aid seem to be growing bigger every year? This year it was all across the ITV schedules, from piddling afternoon quizzes such as Ridiculous to prime time monsters such as The 1% Club. It was almost as if ITV had sensed a gap in the market following the recent fall off in interest in the BBC’s Children In Need and assorted Relief efforts, and decided to have a shot at gaining some charity ground. Soccer Aid even had its own sporty documentary this year: the tale of Sam Thompso to deliver the match ball in time for the big match’s kick-off. I’m not necessarily against such rampant expansion. Obviously, we must throw in the usual caveats. Can charities really be trusted with our money? And why should we donate our hard-earned cash when the millionaire celebrities and multimillionaire footballers asking us to do so could achieve similar results with their loose change? The simple truth is Soccer Aid usually offers us laughter and entertainment — and quite a few of the themed programmes were good fun too. Special mention to The 1% Club and to Alex Brooker on Deal Or No Deal. On the night itself, I knew I’d made the right choice when at 6.20pm on a Sunday evening, ITV took the rather brave decision to give Tyson Fury full control of the microphone to deliver a motivational speech to the England team. One "We’re England! We’re f***ing Spartans!" and several profuse apologies later, I think we could all agree we had just been reminded of the joys of live TV. It didn’t stop there either. Just before half-time, with England 2-0 up against the World XI and coasting, ITV decided it would probably be fine to go to Fury again. England coach Tyson Fury (right) with Sam Thompson (centre) with World XI's Tony Bellew ahead of Soccer Aid for UNICEF 2025 at Old Trafford. (PA) Of course, you couldn’t help but feel moved by the genuine fear and anguish in Alex Scott’s face and voice as she said "Once again, I do apologise for Tyson’s swearing." There was a little bit of "serves you right" in there from us as well though. The funniest thing about it all was that in the rush to apologise for Fury's behaviour, no one appeared to notice that Harry Redknapp has dropped an F-bomb of his own. The match itself was entertaining enough on its own. After a quiet first half, it burst into life in the second 45 minutes thanks mainly to the introduction of Carlos Tevez and Leonardo Bonucci. If we were being kind, we might say the pair are only recently retired from the professional game and that perhaps explains why they took the match so seriously. If we were being honest, we’d say book a couple of legendary s***housers and you’ll get what you pay for. Carlos Tevez during Soccer Aid 2025 at Old Trafford. (Mike Marsland/WireImage) Tevez in particular was a revelation. Not only did he score four goals to give the World XI the edge, he also incurred a yellow card for a blatant foul on fellow ex-pro Aaron Lennon, almost had a scrap with YouTuber Angry Ginge (grown-up name Morgan), and played the crowd like a panto villain throughout. As for Italian enforcer Bonucci, I guess his tackle on England’s Steph Houghton finally offered an answer to a question I first posed after the 2018 match: "How come there are no women playing in Soccer Aid?" In Bonucci’s defence, he did get the ball and, thanks to Houghton’s awkward landing, the tackle actually looked a lot worse than it was. Of course, ITV will still need to consider the ramifications of that incident ahead of next year’s match. At the end of the day, it’s meant to be a bit of fun. Steph Houghton was brought down by Leonardo Bonucci during Soccer Aid 2025 at Old Trafford. (Mike Marsland/WireImage) Speaking of next year, I’m fully expecting co-commentator Jason Manford’s loan move to be made permanent. I’m not sure why Iain "What’s forty quid?" Stirling decided to take a break this year, but Manford is clearly a better fit for this job. It was like listening to someone you might sit next to at a real match. Manford also made me believe that with the right partner in the commentary box Sam Matterface could also one day be reasonably bearable on ITV’s proper matches. Unfortunately, Manford almost let the side down near the end of the match when he said something smutty that, to be fair, was probably going through a lot of people’s dirty minds at the time. Talking about mobile phones, Matterface said to the viewers, "I know you’ve got it in your hand and you’re playing with it now." "You mean the phone?", Manford said. "Just checking." Jason, mate. Some open goals are best left well alone. Soccer Aid streams on ITVX. 'Soccer Aid gets bigger and better, and one change this year needs to stay'

I posted this article back in April where he was working with some guy in LA ... Scouting For Girls star Roy Stride has been tasked with writing Take That's 'biggest song' to dateScouting For Girls star Roy Stride has been tasked with writing Take That's "biggest song" to date. Wednesday, April 23, 2025 8:00 AM Scouting For Girls star Roy Stride has been tasked with writing Take That's 'biggest song' to date Roy Stride has been tasked with writing Take That's "biggest song" to date. The 46-year-old musician - who is best known as the frontman of Scouting For Girls - has been writing with Mark Owen, and explained that the Take That star thinks that despite his decades in the industry alongside bandmates Gary Barlow and Howard Donald, the best is yet to come. He told The Daily Star newspaper's Wired column: "I did a writing session with Mark Owen from Take That over here (LA) and it was so inspiring because he's achieved so much. It's the biggest boyband to ever come out of the UK, like wha more could they achieve? "But literally he started the session going, 'I still don't think we've written our biggest song, we still have more to achieve, I still think we can write the biggest song ever, so yeah it was quite humbling but inspiring. "It was amazing to work with him because he was really like, 'This isn't good enough, this isn't it, we could do better than that.' It was really hard work because he was so demanding about how good it had to be." Roy also noted working with a Take That member comes with a certain type of perstige but then it is all a breeding ground for songwriting talent in the end because of how it spreads on social media. He said: "You'll do an incredible session and be like, 'Yes got that!' but then I am following other songwriters on Instagram like, 'Oh he's in with Mark Owen, he's in with Mark Owen, oh fing hell, Mark Owen's working with a lot of people!" Meanwhile, in the late 2000s, Roy found fame himself alongside Greg Churchouse and James Rowlands and they enjoyed success with hits such as 'She's So Lovely' and 'This Ain't A Love Song'. Ahead of the release of a 15th anniversary edition of their album 'Everybody Wants To Be On TV' and a tour set to begin next year, Roy noted that the thing he is still most proud of is knocking Lady Gaga off the top of the UK charts when they were at the height of their fame. He said: "I probably mention that at most dinner parties. "It's quite funny, especially as I'm working and living in LA and nobody knows who Scouting For Girls are... "So I do say, 'Yeah, we were No1, we knocked Lady Gaga off' and you can see them go like, 'Is this guy for real?"

😄 In the run-up to the release of my new book, I would like to take you behind the scenes with special stories that go with the photos in the book. It was during Take That's very first promotional visit to the Netherlands. The guys were at the beginning of their breakthrough, and we had planned a photo shoot to get some fresh images for the media. Robbie, still young but already full of bravado, had brought a small hat for his solo portrait. He asked me if it was okay if he put it on. "Of course," I said. "It's just a hat." In fact, I actually found the text on it quite funny. While we were working on the photos, the door suddenly burst open. The manager – Nigel Martin-Smith, the man who had conceived and shaped Take That – stormed onto the set in a rage. His face on thunderstorms. "That hat must come off immediately!" he shouted. Robbie looked at me and said calmly, "He was okay with it." I nodded. "Yes, no problem." But for the manager it was non-negotiable. "Don't use those photos," he snapped at me, in a serious tone. And then, almost like in a movie, Robbie leaned over and whispered with a mischievous twinkle in his eye, "Use them." He took off the hat, visibly impressed by the scene, but the moment was already there. The photos were taken. And as Robbie had asked me, I used them anyway. One of them even appeared life-size on a poster in an English pop magazine. I can imagine how Nigel must have eaten himself. Years later, Robbie shared an extensive story about the same manager on his Instagram. What a tyrant he was. It became painfully clear what kind of influence that man had had on them. Robbie's best decision ever? Stepping out of the band – and eventually becoming bigger than the band itself. This photo is included in my new book Zwart Wit, which is now available for pre-order.

@Jonny_Wilkes · 20m 19 years on ,it still blows my mind what we have created !! @socceraid @socceraid · 23m Robbie's here! 👑

Remember it was the same last year at Hyde Park Laura , I was surprised at how many guys were there & the age profile of the fans in general , really nice to see . There is nothing like a good show to bring out the crowd.

The C stage is really a great idea & really nice for people in GA area

Not such a bad thing really, maybe it depends on the venue & anyway it's nice to mix it up a bit ,,
