In honour of the victims of the Orlando shooting, Florence + The Machine frontwoman Florence Welch asked the audience for a moment of silence at her Tinley Park, Illinois show this week, as well as performed with a Pride Flag during 'Spectrum'.

YOU WILL LIKE MY MUSIC, IF YOU LIKE.... soulful pop music that pulls at your heartstrings.
 
IF YOU ONLY LISTEN TO ONE OF MY SONGS, YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO... ‘Remains’, because it's the most honest, emotionally charged song that I've released so far, and really sums me up as an artist.

In an exciting new collaboration, Vans have announced they’ve teamed up with Nintendo for a new line of footwear and apparel.

The new range uses 8-bit inspired artwork as well as characters from the following: ‘Super Mario Bros.’, ‘Duck Hunt’, ‘Donkey Kong’ and ‘Legend Of Zelda’ - and the collections come in both adult and children’s sizing.

My personal favourite are the Princess Peach styles, especially the backpack. As well as shoes, the new collection also has ranges of socks, hats, tees, and more.

The 1975 frontman Matty Healy addressed the tragic mass shooting at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, while introducing 'Loving Someone' at their Charlottesville show this week.

Apparently, Thom Yorke played a 30 minute solo acoustic set - including 'Desert Island Disk', 'No Surprises', 'Street Spirit', 'Reckoner' and 'I Might Be Wrong' - at a neighbour’s garden party this past weekend.

Makes sense. He’s Thom Yorke. He does as he pleases.

Grizzly Bear frontman Ed Droste has written a heartfelt statement reflecting on yesterday’s tragic mass shooting at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, and the ongoing struggle for LGBTQ rights.

Today is a reminder that we all can still feel rightfully scared and angry but let us try our hardest to reach out to one another and provide support and love, especially to those that need it most and are living in unsafe or unsupportive communities.

In four very special locations in San Francisco, McDonald’s have launched garlic fries - made with locally sourced garlic from Gilroy, a city that has been named the ‘Garlic Capital of the World’.

The fries are specially made to order - and look AMAZING. As well as being tossed with garlic, the fries have parsley, olive oil, and a little parmesan cheese.

If you ever find yourself in Chicago, please do me a favour and visit this brand new diner that has opened - inspired by the halls and the stories of the classic ‘90s show ‘Saved By The Bell’.

The decor is a total trip back in time - but get in quick, because it’s only open until August 31st.

The pop-up restaurant was created by Derek Berry, who has also done such things as a nail salon meets lounge called ‘Beauty Bar’.

Even the menu pays homage to the show, with items such as the AC Slider, and Mac and Screech.

At their show in New Jersey tonight, Twenty One Pilots specially added their song 'Doubt' to their setlist, and dedicated their performance of it to Christina Grimmie - who had covered it in the past.

Grimmie was fatally shot yesterday after a show in Orlando, Florida. Her representative has released this statement:

This month’s book club is a special edition, in celebration of ‘Me Before You’ - the book by Jojo Moyes that has been transformed into a film, out in New Zealand cinemas soon on June 16th.
