Paul McCartney honours Bruce Springsteen at 2024 Ivor Novello Awards: “He’s never worked a day in his life”
Paul McCartney honoured Bruce Springsteen by presenting him with the Ivor Novello Awards’ biggest prize yesterday (May 23).The Boss became the first international songwriter to receive the Fellow of the Ivors Academy at Grosvenor House in London, following in the footsteps of Elton John, Kate Bush, Annie Lennox and McCartney himself who previously received the same award 20 years ago.Presenting the prize, McCartney who brought Springsteen onstage along with Dave Grohl during his headline slot at Glastonbury in 2022, jokingly said: “Like Bruce’s concerts, I’m going to keep this brief,” referencing the Boss’ three hour plus concerts, before adding that he “couldn’t think of a more fitting” recipient “except maybe Bob Dylan, or Paul Simon, or Billy Joel, or Beyoncé, or Taylor Swift. The list goes on.”He continued: “He’s known as the American working man but he admits he’s never worked a day in his life.”Accepting the award, Springsteen hugged the former Beatle and referenced his “long and wonderful history” in the UK, thanking the “extraordinary” fans who have been with him since his first show in Hammersmith some 50 years ago.He also spoke about his show the Stadium of Light in Sunderland, the night before (May 22).Springsteen said: “We came out last night, and I was like, ‘What is this weather? Driving rain, wind roaring But standing in front of me, in the rain, I realised: These are my people.“Some of them are young, some of them are children, and some of them… wore lines on their faces, of lives hard-weathered and well-lived.

Peter Kay makes rare public appearance at Ivor Novello Awards amid rumours of new stand-up tour
Peter Kay has shied away from most public events for five years but has now delighted fans as he made an appearance at the Ivor Novello Awards.The comedian, 48, has been quiet since 2017, when he cancelled his planned 14-month standup show due to ‘unforeseen family circumstances’.Last year, Peter hosted a Dance For Life danceathon with all money raised going to Cancer Research, however he has not performed a proper stand-up tour for over a decade.Despite the break away, Peter proved getting on stage and chatting to crowds remains as natural to him as anything as he made a surprise presentation on Thursday night.Peter looked relaxed and happy as he walked on-stage to the Ivor Novello Awards in a smart suit and waistcoat to present an award.He was photographed standing at the microphone holding the name of the winner by comedian and historian Lucy Worsley.She uploaded the snap to Twitter, asking: ‘Is that REALLY Peter Kay?’, though she was more focused on finding singer-songwriter Michael Bublé, who sadly was not in attendance.Peter could be preparing to make a return to the spotlight, with the public being given hints from all sides that the funnyman is planning a new tour in the near future.Fellow comedian Jason Manford, who has been a close pal of Peter’s for over 25 years, teased the idea last month.He said Peter could be ready to return to stand-up and urged fans to ‘keep an eye out’ for tour news.Speaking to a Dublin radio station FM104, Jason said he hopes Peter will be ‘back to himself soon doing stand-up, on keep your eye out for his tour.’Peter is also, clearly, as funny as ever, with crowds at the Manchester Danceathon seen in stitches as Peter joked about dancing at weddings.Peter had been set to tour in 2018
