Night of stories and songs planned as Blue bring Greatest Hits tour to Halls

They're a group who, by their own admission, broke at the right time and became very successful and very popular in short order.

In the space of four years at the turn of the century, Blue sold millions of singles and albums, toured the world and won award after award, including two BRIT Awards, while songs such as "All Rise", "Flyby", “Too Close”, “One Love” and “Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word” were among their biggest hits.

Having gone on hiatus in 2004 for solo careers, it seemed that the group would be a footnote in history, but a triumphant return at, of all places, Eurovision in 2011 propelled the group back into the public conscience and they have enjoyed a career resurgence since.

Now, Antony Costa, Simon Webbe, Duncan James and Lee Ryan are coming to the Halls Wolverhampton on Friday, May 3 as part of their Greatest Hits theatre tour, a special and intimate show which will see them perform their best loved songs, as well as tell tales from their 24 years as a group.

Antony Costa said talking about the group was easy as he said the four members were all mates and genuinely still liked being around each other and said that's what made Blue special and made the shows special.

He said: "We are genuinely mates and I think people like to see realness on stage and having fun and having a laugh and having a giggle and we're singing the old songs and it's very nostalgic when people come to see us.

"They'll be going back to what they were doing when they were 18 or 19 and at university or were getting married if they were old enough to do so or in their 20s and then they'll bring along their kids who are also into our music and it's really great."

The show at the Halls will be the first time Blue have played in Wolverhampton, although Antony said he had experience of the city from performing at the Grand Theatre and was excited about putting on an intimate show at the Halls.

It will be a chance for fans to hear about the formation of the group in 2000, where he and Duncan James recommended Lee Ryan, then Simon Webbe was introduced and they began working together.

Antony said that they broke in at what he described as a lucky time, with some groups coming to an end and others in a different space, and said that he felt that the music was, as it still is today, the driving force for establishing them.

He said: "I think we broke at a lucky time as Five were coming to the end of their hiatus, Another Level had split, on and off, and Westlife were a completely different entity to us, so it worked right for us.

"I also think that, for us, it was more about the music and the music sold itself and we were just very lucky, and still lucky now, to be doing what we love.

"We also didn't want the image to take over and avoid the chatter of 'oh, they're got two blond guys, a dark haired guy and a black guy', so it was always about the music selling itself and I think it showed that we were onto a winner."

Antony said that the Blue sound had a lot of influences, with his own personal ones being people like Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Elton John and his hero, George Michael.

That sound, described as soulful and melodic, garnered instant success with BRIT Awards in 2002 for British Breakthrough Act and 2003 for British Pop Act, as well as their albums "All Rise", "One Love" and "Guilty" all going Platinum.

They also got to perform on Top of the Pops, a show Antony said he still remembered watching as a kid and was honoured to have appeared on.

He said: "I used to look forward to Thursday nights when, before mum and dad watched Eastenders and Dallas, you had Top of the Pops on and it was where I first saw Wham and George Michael and realised I wanted to be on that stage performing.

"It was an absolute honour to be on that show, it was great fun and it's funny as I have no recollection of our first time on it as it was over so quickly because it was live, but I thought it was amazing and mum and dad would video it and you'd watch it back the next morning in the studio."

When Blue took a break at the end of 2004 to have a go at solo careers, many fans were left wondering if they'd ever see the four back together and, for the next six years, there were rumours, but nothing solid until a surprise announcement that the group would be the British entry in the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest.

Antony said the experience, which saw the group finish 11th with 100 points for the song "I can" had been the hardest he'd ever worked and said that while the voting still rankled a bit, he was very proud to have represented his country.

He said: "I never thought it would the thing that brought us back together as we were only meant to take six months and ended up taking six years because we had so much on individually.

"Eurovision was a great time and, in 24 years in the business, that's the hardest 10 days I've ever worked in my life, it was really intense, 12 hour days all the way through.

"In terms of the voting, everyone knows about the political side, but what was strange was that Germany gave us no points, but the song ended up top three in their charts, so you never know what people are thinking.

"That said, it was an honour to represent my country and do something I never thought I would ever do and talk about representing my country with my three good mates."

That Eurovision appearance was the beginning of Blue part 2, with the group recording new material and enjoying the creative process more, something Antony said had been nice as there was less pressure.

He also said that the group enjoyed playing the newer songs as part of their songs, but understood that fans loved the original tracks and would expect to hear them at the shows.

He said: "Back in the day, we were under a lot of pressure as it was always an album a year and you do look back and hear some of it and feel that some of it could be better, but it was that machine of getting things out, whereas now, there are no rules.

"There's no 'you have to do this' or release 15 songs in two months time, we've got the time as there's no pressure on us.

"With the older stuff though, it's those songs that made us who we are today and I think that while you can think 'oh, we've got to play that again', it's what people have paid money to come and see you do, so you've got to give them 110 per cent."

The memories of the last 24 years are still strong for Antony Costa, with highlights being working with Sir Elton John, playing at Wembley and living a dream that seemed a long way away playing pubs and clubs for £50 a night.

He said: "There's so many highlights, but I think winning a BRIT award is right up there as best newcomer, as well as playing Wembley on our first arena tour as I remember going past it as a boy and picturing myself on that stage, so to be on it eight years later was amazing.

"For anyone still thinking about coming to our show in Wolverhampton, I would say that you'll be able to come and relive your youth as what better way to spend an evening than with Blue on stage, singing classic songs and telling great stories."

Blue bring their Greatest Hits tour to University of Wolverhampton at The Civic Hall on Friday, May 3, with Whiskey and Diamonds and Max Rae.

Doors open at 7pm and tickets start at £50, with VIP packages still available.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Rory McIlroy knows how to party. 

The Northern Irish golf star celebrated a victory at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans team event on Sunday by chugging a Michelob ULTRA and belting out the lyrics to “Don’t Stop Believin’” by Journey with a live band in front of a rocking audience of golf fans. 

The PGA Tour posted the video to its social media channels following the tournament win for McIlroy and his teammate Shane Lowry at TPC Louisiana. 

JUST A SMALL TOWN GIRL pic.twitter.com/NefSbCQjAk — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) April 29, 2024

The duo defeated ​​Chad Ramey and Martin Trainer in a playoff to capture the Zurich Classic and McIlroy won his 25th PGA Tour title and first of the season. 

McIlroy hit a brilliant pitch on the 72nd hole to set up a short Lowry birdie putt to force a playoff in what is the PGA Tour’s lone team event of the season.

Trainer missed a six-foot par putt that allowed McIlroy and Lowry the win and set off a boozy celebration on Sunday. 

“To win any PGA Tour event is very cool, but to do it with one of your closest friends — we’ve known each other for a long, long time, probably like over 20 years,” McIlroy said, per the Associated Press. “To think about where we met and where we’ve come from, to be on this stage and do this together — really, really cool journey that we’ve been a part of.”

In another video posted by the PGA Tour, the two are seen walking through a parking lot after the victory led by a New Orleans-style brass band after the win. 

A separate video shows McIlroy on a stage chugging a beer in front of a large gathering of golf fans. 

“People have come out in the thousands to support us. It’s not lost on me how cool that is,” McIlroy said about the crowds that followed during the tournament. “Every time I get to play in front of thousands of people, the little boy in me just thinks it’s so cool and so exciting.”

Cheers @McIlroyRory 🍻 pic.twitter.com/MH4mPxHvnU — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) April 29, 2024

It was a fitting celebration given McIlroy previously told Claire Rogers of Golf.com that he asked Lowry to partner together at a “really drunken lunch” after the Ryder Cup.

Lowry had previously teamed with Padraig Harrington, who now plays on the Champions Tour.

Timberwolves' second-round series vs. nuggets will start saturday.

The Timberwolves made quick work of the Phoenix Suns in their NBA Western Conference quarterfinal series , giving them a week or so off before starting Round 2.

Late Monday night, the Wolves found out who their next opponent will be. The Denver Nuggets, defending NBA champions and No. 2 seed in the West, defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 108-106 on Jamal Murray's 14-foot jumper with four seconds remaining. That victory gave the Nuggets a 4-1 series win, so the Wolves will travel to Denver for Game 1 Saturday and Game 2 Monday. Here's the full schedule. Game times have yet to be determined.

Game 1: Saturday, May 4 at Denver

Game 2: Monday, May 6 at Denver

Game 3: Friday, May 10 at Timberwolves

Game 4: Sunday, May 12 at Timberwolves

If necessary

Game 5: Tuesday, May 14 at Denver

Game 6: Thursday, May 16 at Timberwolves

Game 7: Sunday, May 19 at Denver

The Timberwolves lost their first play-in game last year to the Lakers, ended up the No. 8 seed in the playoffs and lost their opening series to the Nuggets 4-1.

Vodka Museum Tour with transport (excursion only)

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you.

LIV Golf: Kevin Na goes full NSFW, shows why he doesn’t belong on PGA Tour

LIV Golf provides more of a laid back atmosphere for fans and golfers, but Kevin Na took that too far in Adelaide.

Share All sharing options for: LIV Golf: Kevin Na goes full NSFW, shows why he doesn’t belong on PGA Tour

LIV Golf , the Saudi-backed rival league to the PGA Tour, has trumpeted their laid back approach to golf. Whether that is the music playing in the background, the fans chanting as golfers hit their shot, or the players themselves acting a little more relaxed.

This weekend, LIV Golf hosted its most successful event, LIV Adelaide in Australia .

CEO Greg Norman declared victory after a record-setting week. Television ratings were up and there were attendance records set during the three days for LIV Golf.

But just because the tournament was an overall success, that does not mean there were not still hiccups.

A fan chucked a water bottle onto the course and hit a caddie in the head, sending him to the ground.

Then, there is the matter of Kevin Na, who finished T34 in a 54-man field.

Video surfaced of Na acting like a child Sunday, cursing like a trucker after failing to get out of the woods.

LIV Golf star Kevin Na loses his sh!t in Adelaide “F—king Bullsh-t!!!” (Via: milz_ting/TT | @ziregolf ) pic.twitter.com/vJ0S0Io6Ok — NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF) April 29, 2024

The video opens with Na standing, clearly frustrated as his ball lie in a patron sand path left of the fairway.

His caddie asks fans to move, as they are blocking the pathway for Na’s attempted shot.

He then completely chunks his shot, as it moved forward maybe 20 feet.

“F***ing bullsh**,” Na can be heard yelling aloud. He then punches his bag on his caddie’s shoulder as he mumbles more curse words.

Things did not get any better.

Na’s next shot strikes a tree and squirts out to the right. At this point, frustration boils over and the 40-year-old shows no care in the world.

He just walks to his ball and whacks it into the fairway, dropping more F-bombs along the way.

It was unbelievably childish behavior from a former 5-time PGA Tour winner . But this would be completely unacceptable on the big boy circuit.

You can get away with it in LIV Golf though. He obviously has zero concerns about how he is acting. Why would he? He already got his bag joining the Saudi-funded golf league.

Even I can acknowledge that there are certain elements of LIV that are good for the game, and in particular, for the fans. But creating an environment where a professional feels emboldened enough to act like that is not one of them.

2024 Kentucky Derby horses, futures, odds, date: Expert who hit 10 Derby-Oaks Doubles explains picks

Jody demling revealed his kentucky derby 2024 picks for the run for the roses on saturday, may 4 at churchill downs.

The first leg of this year's horse racing triple crown takes place on Saturday at Churchill Downs with the running of the 2024 Kentucky Derby. Legendary trainer Todd Pletcher will look for his third Kentucky Derby win, and will have one horse in the 2024 Kentucky Derby field. Pletcher's sole horse in the 2024 Kentucky Derby lineup is Fierceness, the 5-2 betting favorite in the 2024 Kentucky Derby odds. With a win at Churchill Downs on Saturday, Pletcher would become just the third trainer ever with three Kentucky Derby wins.

Other top 2024 Kentucky Derby horses include Sierra Leone (3-1), Catching Freedom (8-1), Forever Young (10-1), and Just a Touch (10-1). Will this be the year the favorite breaks through and wins at Churchill Downs, or will a long shot stun the horse racing world? The 2024 Kentucky Derby post time is 6:57 p.m. ET. Before making any 2024 Kentucky Derby picks, be sure to see the horse racing predictions and futures bets from SportsLine's elite horse racing expert Jody Demling . 

A fixture in the horse racing world who has been writing about, talking about and betting on races for years, Demling enters the 2024 Kentucky Derby having nailed the winner of the Belmont Stakes four of the last six years, including an exacta in 2022 with Mo Donegal and Nest. He also called Flightline's win at the Breeders' Cup Classic in November of that year. 

Demling is at his best in the biggest horse races in the world like the Kentucky Derby 2024. In fact, he has hit 10 of the last 15 Derby-Oaks doubles at Churchill Downs. That means he held a ticket with the winners of both races all but five times in the last 15 years. He's also called 10 of the last 19 Preakness winners, including nailing his Preakness winner, exacta and superfecta picks in 2023, keenly understanding when the Kentucky Derby winner was poised for victory or a massive upset. Anyone who has followed him is up huge.

Now, with the 2024 Kentucky Derby odds already on the board, Demling is sharing his picks and 2024 Kentucky Derby predictions over at SportsLine. Go here to see them .

Top 2024 Kentucky Derby predictions

One of Demling's surprising 2024 Kentucky Derby picks: He is fading Fierceness, even though he's the top favorite and just won the Florida Derby. Fierceness will be racing out of stall No. 17, which has not produced a winner in 44 tries. Since the starting gate was introduced in 1930, it is the only post that has not featured a Kentucky Derby winner.

Fierceness has also never won back-to-back races during his young career, and it will not be easy to follow up his dominant showing in the Florida Derby. He finished seventh in the Champagne Stakes last October and finished third in his 3-year-old debut at the Holy Bull. There are multiple other proven 2024 Kentucky Derby horses, so Demling is going in a different direction with his pick to win the race.  See which other 2024 Kentucky Derby horses to avoid at SportsLine .

Another stunner: Demling is high on Dornoch, even though he's a 20-1 longshot. He's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. Dornoch has the speed to spring the upset at the Kentucky Derby 2024. He has won three of his last four starts and has finished first or second in five of his past six races.

Dornoch beat out Sierra Leone for the victory at the 2023 Remsen Stakes, which was held at Aqueduct Racetrack last December. He also comes from a pedigree known to produce contenders at the Kentucky Derby. Dornoch is from the second crop of Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner Good Magic, who was also second in the Kentucky Derby in 2018. Demling says trainer Danny Gargan will rely on Dornoch's speed from the No. 1 post position this time around, making him a valuable longshot.  See which other horses to back at SportsLine . 

How to make 2024 Kentucky Derby picks, bets

Demling is especially high on an epic double-digit longshot who "keeps getting better and better."  Demling is sharing which horse it is, along with his entire projected 2024 Kentucky Derby leaderboard, over at SportsLine .

Which horse wins the Kentucky Derby 2024, and which double-digit longshot is a must-back? Check out the latest 2024 Kentucky Derby odds below, then visit SportsLine to see Demling's picks for the Kentucky Derby, all from the expert who nailed 10 Derby-Oaks doubles .
