    Black Panther Star Chadwick Boseman Dies After Four-Year Battle With Cancer

    Black Panther Star Chadwick Boseman Dies After Four-Year Battle With Cancer

    29/08/2020 - 03:24:48          Back to Heathrow Showbiz Home

     Black Panther actor Chadwick Boseman has died at the age of 43 following a four-year battle with colon cancer, his family said in a statement. 

     The Hollywood star died at home with his wife and family by his side, the statement said.

     “A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much,” it added.

     “From Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and several more, all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy. It was the honour of his career to bring King T’Challa to life in Black Panther.”

     The family added: “The family thanks you for your love and prayers, and asks you to continue to respect their privacy during this difficult time.” 

     Boseman had not spoken publicly about his diagnosis. 

     The US actor had been known for playing real-life figures, including professional baseball player Jackie Robinson in 2013 biopic 42 and James Brown in 2014’s Get On Up, before he landed the Marvel role which made him a superstar. 

     He first played Black Panther in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War, before the character headlined a hugely successful blockbuster in 2018.

     Black Panther was a hit with critics who praised its diversity and it grossed over 1.3 billion dollars at the global box office, as well as earning a best picture nomination at the Academy Awards. 

     In June he starred in Spike Lee’s searing drama Da 5 Bloods, playing a Vietnam soldier.

    Kanye West And Sunday Service Steal The Show At Coachella

    Kanye West And Sunday Service Steal The Show At Coachella
     
    The rapper performed with Sunday Service at Weekend 2 of Coachella
    As Coachella draws to a close for another year, there's only really one person everyone's talking about after Weekend 2 and that's of course, Kanye West.
    Weekend 1 set the bar high for electronic music across the festival and as dance music reigned supreme to begin with, it soon became hip hop's turn to take control.
    Yeezy was originally meant to headline the festival but it didn't go ahead because Coachella weren't able to accommodate his plans of a custom-built dome for the performance. With that, Kanye fans collectively put their heads in their hands as a gig from the rapper was scuppered.
    But, Kanye being Kanye, naturally there were some tricks up his sleeves and he ended-up performing with the gospel choir Sunday Service on the last day of Weekend 2.
    The Saturday night also saw West team up with frequent collaborator and Kids See Ghosts cohort Kid Cudi for a special appearance on the Sahara Stage where he performed three tracks from 'The Life Of Pablo'.
    Kanye's Sunday Service took place below the mountain at the festival and Chance The Rapper and Kid Cudi both appeared alongside the gospel choir for holy renditions of West's most-beloved tracks. The performance was streamed live through a peephole and Yeezy also sold special merchandise that cost upwards of $225 for a sweatshirt, not to mention $50 for socks.
    As far as talking points go for festivals, Kanye without doubt took the crown and although Justin Bieber joined Ariana Grande and Will Smith got on stage with his son Jaden, West and his band of spiritually spectacular singers will be the thing everyone remembers about Coachella 2019.
    Check out images from the performance below.

    We stayed at Prince Harry and Meghan's babymoon hotel and it's heaven on earth

    We stayed at Prince Harry and Meghan's babymoon hotel and it's heaven on earth

    It’s the perfect place for the soon-to-be parents to relax

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex couldn’t have chosen a more idyllic location for their pre-wedding babymoon. The royal couple, who are set to welcome their first child together in the next few weeks, spent four days at the luxurious countryside hotel Heckfield Place in Hook, Hampshire, it was revealed earlier this month.

    HELLO! recently visited the five-star estate, and could instantly see why Prince Harry and Meghan would have chosen to stay there. Sustainability and nature are at the very core of Heckfield Place, with a farm to fork concept where they grow much of what they serve in the restaurant on their working farm.


    Prince Harry and Meghan visited Heckfield Place for a babymoon All of the food grown on site is seasonal and organic – something which would resonate with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex – who made a concerted effort to serve seasonal produce at their royal wedding, and are known for following a healthy lifestyle. A source told HELLO! that it was a big reason for their visit, saying "Meghan wanted to say there because she liked the organic, home-grown food".


    The restaurant serves seasonal and organic food grown on site In a project that would also impress Harry’s father, the Prince of Wales, the team who look after the grounds have ensured that all of the soil is completely GM-free, so that the fruit and vegetables taste as good as possible with absolutely no nasties.
    Meanwhile, they also have sheep on site which produce lambs that are used for their meat. However, Meghan would have been unable to get the full farm experience by seeing the animals, as over 50 ewe were pregnant and some had just given birth, and pregnant sheep emit bacteria that can induce pregnant women.

    It’s not only the food that would have made this the perfect place to stay for Harry and Meghan, but also the décor. The hotel was filled with fresh flowers including daffodils and tulips all grown on site, while the bedrooms all have an extra-special touch – a living carpet made out of water hyacinth that needs watering once a day and fills the room with a beautiful fragrance.
    Heckfield Place would have offered the utmost privacy for Harry and Meghan, who reportedly stayed in the most expensive apartment which costs £10,000 a night and boasts its own dining room, private terraces and uninterrupted countryside views. Indeed, the couple weren’t seen much around the hotel and their stay was so private that many of the staff had no idea there were royal visitors on the premises. We’re sure it will become even more popular now it has the royal seal of approval!
