Anxiety has compelled Zayn Malik to pull out his first live performance in the UK. The former One Direction member was due to sing live at the Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium on 11th June after Craig David but he did not appear on stage as an announcement was made that he will not be performing. Reports from the UK say around the same time Malik took to social media to apologise and put it down to anxiety which had haunted him throughout the last few months around live performances. Initially Zayn Malik received boos from the audience who were oblivious to his condition, but support followed after he cleared the air. He later thanked his fans.

She is also the featured vocalist on David Guetta ‘s ‘This One’s For You’ – the official song for the UEFA Euro 2016 football tournament.

Rod Stewart has been knighted in the Queen’s 90th birthday honours list. The ‘Do Ya Think I’m Sexy’ hitmaker who is now 71 last received the CBE in 2007.

Meanwhile the popular duo Ant and Dec were made OBE’s in the same honours list. They are also part time singers. Also at the age 99, Dame Vera Lynn from another vintage was made a CH (Companion of Honour). Dame Vera was famous during the World War II and was known as “the Forces Sweetheart” (to Allied troops). Two of her popular songs were ‘We’ll Meet Again’ and ‘The White Cliffs Of Dover’.

Paisley Park the studio of Prince may be converted to a tourist attraction.

The intellectual property of Prince is estimated to worth nearly $300 million.
