    Scottish star KT shows off her dance moves in the arty black and white video for her latest track, The River.

    In a statement, Tunstall said: “I know how this song makes me feel. I wanted the emotion of that to come through our faces, our bodies and our movement, rather than relying on colour.”

    The actor, who plays Freddie Mercury in the film, has answered critics of the movie's original trailer which was accused of shying away from the singer's sexuality.

    The film is due to premiere at Wembley Arena later this year.

    Speaking to Attitude magazine, Rami, who also plays the title role in the dystopian series Mr Robot, said: "It's a shame that people are making remarks after a minute teaser where you just wanna see the music.

    "I don't think the film shies away from his sexuality or his all-consuming disease, which is obviously AIDS.

    "I don't know how you could avoid any of that, or if anyone would ever want to. It's a bit absurd that anyone's judging this from a minute trailer."

  19. Kendrick Lamar pays tribute to Mac Millerpublished at 09:39 BST 13 September 2018

    Kendrick LamarImage source, Getty Images

    Kendrick Lamar has shared some fond memories of his late friend and fellow rapper Mac on US TV.

    Speaking during the opening segment of Open Late With Peter Rosenberg, Ken described Mac as a “funny, funny, funny individual."

    “He showed a smile and then you gave that smile right back. It made you feel good," said Kendrick.

    "All in all, that’s the type of person he was - just a good dude."

    Miller was found dead at his home in LA last week, aged 26.

    Quote Message

    [He] Always made you feel good, just a great energy to have around. He’d pull up to the studio, give honest opinions. I’d play some music, he’d say, 'I like that. You should do something right here.'

    Quote Message

    Just whatever, man, and he was just true and selfless about it. Great musician. Great writer.

    Mac MillerImage source, Gett

    Ken added: "No matter what he was going through, he didn’t make you feel sorry for him, you know? He was strong about it - always kept a smile on his face because he wanted you to smile, too.

    "And that’s just something I always loved, you know, no matter whatever personal issues, he gave you that energy."

    Signing off with: "So forever we’re gonna remember the life and we’re gonna remember that smile. Celebrate. Mac Miller. Love."
