    I have just heard from a close mutual friend that Joni is walking, talking, painting some, doing much rehab every day, and making good progress - I have another friend who went through something similar - it does take a long time, three years for my friend, who has really totally recovered professionally and personally. I will try my best to see our songbird when I am in LA in the coming weeks.

    Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli - who recently performed for the Pope - might not seem like the most natural fit for the MTV EMAs, but he's the latest star to be added to the line-up of performers for Sunday night's ceremony in Milan. 

    Bocelli - who with sales of more than 85 million albums worldwide is the most successful classical artist of all time - will join Pharrell Williams, Ellie Goulding and a collaboration between Ed Sheeran and Rudimental. 

    He'll perform a solo track and a duet with singer-songwriter Tori Kelly - which he's promised will be "a nice surprise" from outside his "usual repertoire".

    Bocelli said he was excited to "share the overwhelming and contagious energy of so many young people from all around the world".

    Quote Message

    This episode of You've Been Framed was first broadcast in October 2014 and was repeated again on Sunday night. We have production processes in place to re-edit programmes in circumstances such as this, but regrettably the clip was not cut on this occasion. We are very sorry for this unfortunate oversight and for any distress its inclusion caused

    Broadcasting watchdog Ofcom has confirmed it has had two complaints and is assessing them before deciding whether to investigate or not.

  15. Iron Maiden to headline Download 2016published at 09:14

    Bruce DickinsonImage source, PA

    Iron Maiden have been confirmed as headliners for next year's Download Festival - the sixth time the band have played at Donnington Park and their only UK show in 2016. 

    Singer Bruce Dickinson promised a "memorable show" for fans.   

    Quote Message

    Download is a very special place for us. Not just because it’s always great to play on home turf but because there’s a truly unique vibe there, it’s the very heart of England and of Metal, so a fitting place for Iron Maiden! The crowd is always fiercely passionate and the whole band feeds off that famous Donington energy.

    The band say they will make use of their own jumbo jet to fly in to East Midlands Airport too.

    Quote Message

    Although this is our sixth time headlining at Castle Donington, it’s the first time we’ve been able to land Ed Force One right on the doorstep of the Festival site! We haven't decided on the set list as yet and won’t until we start rehearsing but we really look forward to playing a number of new songs live.
