The secret son of a rock star is living on the streets in London two years after the late musician's £4.5million will left him nothing and he 'spent all his money'. Liam Firlej was forced to go to court in a bid to prove the guitarist was his father after he had a year's long-romance with the 38-year-old's mother, Janina. But despite his paternity being confirmed by a DNA test, Liam didn't receive a penny from his father's will when he died in 2020. Liam, an army veteran who quit the forces in 2003 due his opposition to the Iraq War, has been homeless several times in his life, but says this has been the most traumatic. Liam claims he was forced back onto the streets three months ago as he tries to pay care bills for his maternal grandmother, who she raised him in his father's absence.

Daisy Jones & The Six: How Elvis's granddaughter made the 70s sexy again in series hit

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 16, 2023
It's a heart-stoppingly popular one when the fighting comes to an end and the warring couple turn to one another, saying, 'I'd never know we were so alike.' It's happening in episode five of Amazon Prime's hit series Daisy Jones & The Sixties, and by then, I was fully hooked on this ten-part series charting the highs and lows of a fictional rock band in 1970s Los Angeles. Clearly, I'm not alone. The series soared to No. 1 in the Amazon Prime Video charts within 24 hours of its debut, while the show's accompanying debut album debuted it at the top of the iTunes charts. The series, based on a best-selling book by Taylor Jenkins Reid, is heavily influenced by the British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac's antics, bust-ups, heroin-fuelled dramas, and the tumultuous friendship between lead singers Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham.

Will "Daisy Jones & The Six" Get a Season 2?Taylor Jenkins Reid Weighed In on the Possibility

www.popsugar.co.uk, March 27, 2023
Fans who have been following "Daisy Jones & The Six" — which has concluded airing its ten episodes on March 24th — have certainly picked up on Reid's numerous updates. Although some changes, such as Simone's beefed-up role, were welcomed with open arms, others were not so keen (mainly the kiss between Billy and Daisy). Despite the fact that fans may not agree with all of the changes, they may have opened the door for a second season of the show, although the book neatly wraps it up. Reid said she was okay with the direction Amazon took with her book in a Variety interview, but she confessed that she never expected the series to be a one-to-one copy. "I don't think I've ever wanted someone to film my book exactly as it is," she told Variety. "Here is a new interpretation of this tale." Here are updated versions of this song. Here's a new way to enjoy it. My hope is that my readers would feel as though they're finding the things they love about it but also that it's something different. It's cool that it's different. I don't feel the need to compare them in the same way that I have seen others do.

Fans Think This Passionate Fleetwood Mac Performance Inspired "Daisy Jones"'s Love Story

www.popsugar.co.uk, March 23, 2023
When it comes to songwriters writing traumatic songs about the exes who broke their hearts, their former lovers' punishment is usually limited to hearing the breakup track played incessantly on the radio (as seen in Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift's "All to Well." However, Daisy Jones and Billy Dunne, the fictional lead singers of the fictional title band, have an enthralling, forbidden chemistry that's only enhanced by the fact that they write their most brutal lyrics about each other and force the other to perform them on tour in front of thousands of followers. Reid denied that she had no knowledge that her book about a 1970s rock band's ascension and fall was partially based on Fleetwood Mac. The legendary band was not limited by its catalogue of timeless hits, but also by its history of interpersonal tensions, a continually evolving lineup of members, and band internals — none more notable than the one between its lead singers, Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham.

Here's a look at the "Daisy Jones & The Six" Cast Before and after from Riley Keough to Sam Claflin

www.popsugar.co.uk, March 21, 2023
"Daisy Jones & The Six" by Taylor Jenkins Reid, a rock-star oral-history-style book, made a lot of buzz when it debuted in 2019. Now, it has a 10-episode Prime Video TV adaptation that premiered on March 3, 2023, starring Riley Keough and Sam Claflin. "Daisy Jones & The Six," a documentary that "behind the music" styled series, follows a group of musicians' rise and fall as a result of the 1970s Los Angeles music scene. Some of the show's cast members have worked on high-profile projects before, while others are new faces making their mark. Fortunately for viewers, the majority of the cast members are on social media, which has resulted in a slew of behind-the-scenes videos that viewers of true bands that inspired the show, such as Fleetwood Mac, probably never had access to in their heyday. (One can only imagine that Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham would have reacted off at each other if they'd taken to social media when they first saw "Rumours" on television.)

"Daisy Jones & the Six" Takes Inspiration From a Famous Real-Life Rock Band

www.popsugar.co.uk, March 2, 2023
Taylor Jenkins Reid's book "Daisy Jones and the Six" on Amazon Prime Video is certainly one of the year's best new TV shows. It mixes a fictional plot with details meant to evoke the 1970s rock band's true music scene. Just how much is the story inspired by real music history?A lot, as it turns out! The novel (and the TV show) is a new story, both in terms of content and technology. It doesn't use real names or real-life events, but instead presents a "documentary" story about the fictional band of the name, their families, and the creation of their most popular album. However, music enthusiasts will certainly recognize certain plots in the story of a 1970s rock band tense by interpersonal drama and musical conflicts.

Jenkins Reid has consistently stated that the story is based loosely on Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham's dynamic, as well as the turbulence of life in the limelight.

A polarizing topic can be book-to-screen adaptations. Some people aren't worried about how closely the new plot follows the original or how the characters appear IRL. Some, on the other hand, are deeply invested in every tiny detail and are eagerly awaiting the premiere. Fans of "Daisy Jones & The Six" don't have to be concerned about too much. If you've read the book, you might have guessed that it was surprisingly simple to imagine the characters. Author Taylor Jenkins Reid said the idea for the tale came after watching a live performance of Fleetwood Mac, specifically the palpable tension between two of the company's leading singers, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. Daisy Jones & The Six are a fictional '70s rock band's rise and abrupt dissolution in a similar vein as "Behind the Music," which chronicles the meteoric rise and abrupt dissolution of a fictional '70s rock band.

From Oasis to Guns n Roses, and the Smiths, here are five of the best Rock and Roll feuds

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 12, 2023
Nothing says Rock and Roll like sex, drugs and decade long feuds and backstabbing's over music royalties and Twitter account access does it? Audiences have been treated to a smorgasbord of musical excellence from companies like Oasis and Fleetwood Mac over the years, but it has not always been the story behind the scenes drama that has captured our interest. We're naturally attracted to the chaos that surrounds some of music's most gifted performers, whether it's meltdowns online, pithy open letters to former bandmates, or just good old fashioned heavy rocking violence. With that in mind, MailOnline has taken a deep dive into five popular feuds from Rock and Roll history.

Be sure that trusted businesses are providing the right kind of bets

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 6, 2023
The word 'discount' seems to be a way to get more for less. This is why there is so much excitement about the increasing availability of discounts on several investment trusts, especially those focused on commercial property, private equity, and smaller businesses. But scrimpers like me must know how to reduce their instincts. Because a discount may appear to be a lower-cost bet on the trust's overall growth and dividend-flow, the reality may be much less rewarding.

Christine McVie's passing, according to Lindsey Buckingham, is "profoundly heartbreaking."

DOMINIC MIDGLEY: How have the hellraisers of Fleetwood Mac survived so long?

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 1, 2022
Dominic Middlefield: No one did rock 'n' roll excesses to the 1970s supergroup Fleetwood Mac. They traveled by private plane and, on their arrival, 14 black limousines would be waiting for them at the airport. Above, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, and Mick Fleetwood are among those photographed, while Stevie Nicks and Mick Fleetwood are pictured inset with Stevie Nicks. The couple and their entourage would be carried to the swankiest hotel in town, where each band member would recover to a suite repainted in the colour of their choice. If so, a pick-me-up would be available in the form of, say, an eighth of an ounce of cocaine. In fact, Class A drug supply was so formalized that the daily hand-out of coke was included on the band's tour itinerary, and the dealer was credited on album covers.
