Sir Paul McCartney pays tribute to the 'ballsy' late Vivienne Westwood in passionate post
Paul McCartney, 80, paid tribute to the late fashion designer after she died aged just one year older than he is currently.The former Beatles bassist, who had publicly accompanied Dame Vivienne Westwood to his daughter Stella McCartney's show at Paris Fashion Week two years earlier, paid his respects in a Twitter message."Goodbye Vivienne Westwood," he lamented, describing her as "a ballsy lady who rocked the fashion world and stood defiantly for what was right".He signed off "Love Paul x" as he remembered the star in a tribute posted to his 4.2 million online followers.Vivienne's death was announced on December 29 via her official Twitter account, reassuring followers that she "died peacefully and surrounded by her family in Clapham, South London".The tweet added: "The world needs people like Vivienne to make a change for the better.”She had been regarded among many as the first person in the UK to bring her brand of provocative punk style to the world of high fashion - a combination which was unheard of at the time she first arrived on the scene.Vivienne and her lover Malcolm McLaren's London shop, Sex, became well-known around the world, while her attitude that "sex is fashion" gave birth to a series of now iconic bondage outfits synonymous with their names.Paul wasn't the only celebrity to make it clear how much of an impact the punk-aligning fashion icon had on their lives.Other tributes were led by the likes of Boy George, whom she once dressed, Chrissie Hynde and Naomi Campbell to name just a few.Cyndi Lauper wrote: "So sorry to hear that we lost @viviennewestwood today.She was a fashion icon, who not only created punk fashion but punk couture."She added of the longevity of Vivienne's ideas: "You can still see her

Brian May and Roger Taylor join Foo Fighters for Queen set at Taylor Hawkins tribute concert
Queen – lead guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor – joined the Foo Fighters to perform a five-song set of their own hits at the first Taylor Hawkins tribute concert.The special gig – which took place at Wembley Stadium last night (September 3) and was simulcast all over the web, TV and streaming platforms – honoured the late Foos drummer with performances from Liam Gallagher, Mark Ronson, Queens Of The Stone Age’s Josh Homme, Supergrass, Metallica’s Lars Ulrich and AC/DC’s Brian Johnson, The Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde, Blink-182’s Travis Barker, Kesha, and more.The Queen/Foos supergroup were introduced with archival footage of Hawkins himself, who welcomed Roger Taylor out at one of the Foos own shows before he passed. Hawkins was a noted superfan of the British rock icons, and Foos sets would often see the drummer take over from Dave Grohl to perform lead vocals on a cover of ‘Somebody To Love’.“When I was 10 years old, my older sister took me to go see Queen in concert – the first concert I ever saw – and I watched the fucking drummer, and I said, ‘I wanna fucking be him, I wanna do that’,” Hawkins says in the archival clip screened at last night’s concert, after hyping the crowd up with his imitation of Freddie Mercury’s famous “ay-oh” chant.The set itself began with a cover of Queen’s 1977 hit ‘We Will Rock You’, for which Taylor was joined on drums by his son Rufus, and Luke Spiller of The Struts sang lead vocals.
