Lizzo has opened up in a very candid interview about the ablest criticism she faced due to the lyrics in her song, Grrrls. The Juice hitmaker told Vanity Fair that she was unaware the word in question was a slur and that she had used it in other contexts. At the time, Lizzo said she was sorry for the lyric and that she was open to listening to others and wanted to take action, the lyrics to her track have since been changed. 

Lewis Capaldi and Niall Horan have joined forces for a new documentary. The singers, who are good friends as well as peers, have teamed up for a docu-film for Guinness titled Niall Horan's Homecoming: The Road to Mullingar with Lewis Capaldi, which will air on Virgin Media One. The one-off documentary will see Niall revisit and reconnect with all that he loves about his home country and experience the reality of Ireland today. Fans of the stars will know that the pair met up in Ireland to surprise members of the public in Dublin during an impromptu busking session to sing Slow Hands and Before You Go. The programme airs on Sunday 16 October. 

And Country music star Blake Shelton has announced he is departing his role as a judge on The Voice. The singer, who has been a part of the talent show for 12 years, said in a statement that he'd been wrestling with the idea for a while but that he'd decided to step away from his judging chair.
