ADRIAN THRILLS: You can often determine a singer by the company they keep. Lucinda Williams' credentials, on that score, are unsurpassed. On Robert Plant's last record with Alison Krauss in 2021, the Louisiana singer appeared regularly with the late Tom Petty and provided backing vocals. Bruce Springsteen and his partner Patti Scialfa are on her 16th solo album, out today. It's easy to see why she attracts the most coveted titles. She started out as a country artist, but her biker boots, leather jackets, and road-hardened rock 'n' roll struggled to triumph over the Nashville establishment, but she soon discovered her niche in beautifully crafted Americana.

When asked by German media why he needs so many children, Meijer replied: "I want to do something meaningful with my life."

BY MATT BARLOW: PELE's glittering career came to an end with three years at New York Cosmos (right), where he politely accepted all manner of requests in the name of promoting the wonderful sport, including once leading his team out on horseback while wearing a cowboy hat.

Celebrities were mingled in the dressing room and the Cosmos were invited to hang out at New York's raucous Studio 54 nightclub.

JENNI MURRAY: The Royals will regret choosing to humiliate Prince Harry

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 21, 2022
JENNI MURRAY: I didn't mean to be sad for Prince Harry, but I did not expect to find myself cymic for him. Nonetheless, this young man appeared to suffer humiliation after humiliation as the days of remembrance for his beloved grandmother passed by. His face was smouldering, shame, and indignation, and I could only pity a man whose mother's coffin was followed in the full glare of public attention. All seemed hopeful right from the start. He had already been in the country, and I suspect the same is true about his home. He did not hear of his grandmother's death as quickly as the majority of the immediate family. He was still in the air on his way to Balmoral, but he was told as soon as was possible, if not before the announcement was made public. He was with his closest relatives to reveal their immediate grief. His father, now King Charles III, made a moving and heartfelt address to the nation the next day. He expressed his sadness over the Queen's death. Prince William and his wife, Kate, were promoted to Prince and Princess of Wales, and he said, "I also want to show my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives around the world."
