For country up-and-comer Hannah Dasher, music was a part of her life from an early age. "I hated to read books as a child, but my mother would always find me reading my cassette tapes and CD covers front-to-back," she recalled to Fox News. "I was that nerdy kid who knew who Keith Stegall was by the time I was eight years old.

I didn't like to read." As just a "little thing," she also developed a love for "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" crooner Alan Jackson after seeing him in concert. "I just discovered he talked the way that I do and I loved his music, it resonated with me," Dasher shared. "My girlfriends were into Shania Twain -- we all love Shania -- but I was more so into Alan and into rock and roll." Dasher credits seeing Jackson perform.

Carragher says Chelsea "embarrassed themselves" after Abramovich and Ukraine statements

Jamie Carragher has slammed Chelsea for Roman Abramovich’s statement in which the Russian announced he was handing stewardship of the club to its trustees.The Liverpool legend fumed on Sky Sports ahead of the Reds’ Carabao Cup final clash with Chelsea, where he claimed the Blues “embarrassed themselves”.Abramovich announced on Saturday he would be passing on control of the west London club in a heavily criticised initial statement where he failed to mention Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine.And despite Chelsea issuing a short statement on Sunday morning to limit the damage, Carragher believes the club still dealt with the situation embarrassingly.Carragher blasted: "I don't think they've handled it really well. I think that the couple of statements they've put out - I think it's been really poor."I think they've let themselves down badly."I think the club came out today and put out a statement as well, but I think that was trying to rectify what Roman Abramovich put out the night before."And I don't think they did that well either, really.

Connor Ball's secret health battle - breathing struggle to severe panic attacks

Connor Ball has been impressing viewers across the country with his amazing skating capability on ITV's Dancing On Ice.Wowing the judges week on week with his courageous dance moves and his willingness to push himself further, the 25-year-old musician has certainly earned his place in this year's competition.But although he has gained legions of fans from his singing career, and his presence on Dancing on Ice, Connor - who makes up one-fourth of The Vamps- has previously battled with panic attacks, depression and generalised anxiety order.Daily Star has taken a deeper look inside the star's health battle and how he has learnt to overcome it.In 2018, Connor appeared on ITV's This Morning and spoke to therapists Nik and Eva Speakman regarding his crippling fear of touring.Speaking openly to presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, Connor revealed: "I suffer with generalised anxiety order, panic attacks and depression as well."In the band, it has affected me because I don’t go to as many things as I would like to or should do. I would like to be going out and seeing more people."When the TV therapists dug a bit deeper, it became evident that the musician felt uneasy when he had to travel to different countries to tour and the problems derived from when he was a lot younger.Talking about a terrifying incident that happened to him in Greece, he recalled: "I remember when we were on holiday and I had to swim under a big rock to get to a beach and I got stuck and I was like ‘I am not going to be able to breathe'."He also spoke candidly about an experience that left him shaken when he was six years old.The star continued: "When I was six I was in Thailand and there were a load of monkey nuts on the table.
