King Charles III Has Cancer

by

King Charles III has been diagnosed with an unnamed form of cancer, Buckingham Palace announced in a statement provided to BBC on Monday. The 75-year-old was at the hospital, last week, to treat benign prostate enlargement when the issue was discovered. He will continue with his royal duties behind the scenes but postpone public appearances. He was last seen at a church service in Sandringham on Sunday.

“His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties,” the Palace’s statement said. “Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual. The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible. His Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer.”

Royal Society of Medicine President Dr Jay Verma thanked the King for showing that cancer is indiscriminate. “Please don’t be shy. The more information we have the better to help – hopefully – rule out cancer or, if not, put you on the most suitable treatment pathway,” he said, according to BBC. Check out Buckingham Palace’s announcement of King Charles’ condition below.

The Royal Family Speaks Out

Snoop Dogg Denies Beef With Chris Rock, Says He Wants To Perform At King Charles’ Coronation

by

As King Charles III’s long-awaited coronation quickly approaches, Snoop Dogg is throwing his hat in the ring to perform at the royal ceremony. The gig was previously offered to names like Elton John, Adele, and Harry Styles, though none of them were particularly eager to take on the responsibility. Seeing as the late Queen Elizabeth allowed the rapper to stay in the UK back in the ’90s as haters made an attempt to ban him, however, the Doggfather would be happy to pay his respects to the monarchy and its new leader.

“When they tried to kick me out of England, the Queen made a comment that her grandbabies loved Snoop Doggy Dogg, and he had done no wrong in Britain,” the Death Row Records owner recalled in a 2015 interview. “Those grandbabies grew up to be Prince William and Harry, so I had influence on them, and they had influence on their grandmother, which enabled me to get into this beautiful country. They love my music, and it is what it is.” In a more recent chat with The Sun, he confirmed, “I’m down to perform at the coronation. Make it happen.”

Nothing has been confirmed as of now, but seeing as the Palace appears to be having a tough time booking its headliner, Snoop Dogg may become their only option, which would certainly be a show to remember. Elsewhere in the news, the “Gin N Juice” hitmaker is shutting down rumours of any beef between him and Chris Rock following the comedian’s Selective Outrage Netflix special. The stand-up show has markedly earned him backlash for his comments on Meghan Markle and Jada Pinkett-Smith, and it seems some were also upset by his comments about the recording artist too.

While poking fun at Snoop, Rock compared his friend to Morgan Freeman, who’s appeared in ads for products like Mountain Dew and the Professional Golf Association. As of late, the California native has also been heavily in his bag, lending his personality to various campaigns, which the Madasgcar couldn’t help but joke about earlier this month. While chatting with MailOnline, the 51-year-old confirmed that he didn’t take the comments to heart.

“Chris Rock is my friend,” Snoop Dogg explained. “He was basically saying how did I go from being America’s Most Wanted, to America’s most loveable? It’s all about transformation, growth, development and being willing to accept change.” The industry icon went on to confirm that he “says no” to a lot of opportunities that come his way. “If I feel like your family and I believe what you believe in there’s no problem. You stand behind your brand, but there are some things in life that don’t mix with me and I can’t promote everything, so sometimes I do have to say no,” he shared.

Adele & Ed Sheeran Both Say “No” To King Charles III

by

Adele and Ed Sheeran are two of the most important musical figures in modern music in the United Kingdom. Adele, born in the Tottenham region of London, is coming off a massive year. In Nov. 2021, she ended her six-year album drought with her studio album 30. Celebrated all throughout 2022, 30 was a huge triumph for Adele, who had experienced major changes in her life since 2015’s 25. Additionally, she was honored on music’s biggest stage for this album. At the Grammy awards in early February, she won Best Pop Solo Performance for 30‘s lead single “Easy on Me.”

As for Ed Sheeran, he too put out an LP in late 2021. The star from Halifax, a town in England, released his fourth official studio album = in Oct. 2021. Then, throughout 2022, he did a bit of genre-hopping for some eye-opening collaborations. In April 2022 he released his single “2step” which featured rapper Lil Baby. Then in July 2022, he landed on Afrobeat icon Burna Boy’s album Love, Damini for the song “For My Hand.” That same month, he linked with rapper-producer Russ for his single “Are You Entertained.” Now, Ed Sheeran is embarking on his U.S. “+-=÷x Tour” with recent collaborator Russ, as well as Khalid and others.

Along with Adele and Sheeran making tons of noise in 2022, their home country was going through a bit of a rough stretch. After King Philip passed away in early 2021, his wife Queen Elizabeth II met the same fate the next year. Elizabeth trivially passed away at age 96 in Sept. 2022. This left the throne empty and in need of a successor. Thankfully, Elizabeth and Philip’s eldest son Charles III was able to assume the throne. Now 74, King Charles is currently looking for performers for his official coronation ceremony on May 6. The ceremony will be followed by a festival on May 7, but it will unfortunately not feature two of Britain’s finest musicians. On Saturday (Feb. 18), OK! reported that both Adele and Ed Sheeran will forgo the opportunity to honor King Charles’ crowning.

In the case of Adele, she declined the invitation without further comment. According to sources provided by OK!, this was not welcomed news for the royal family. “The King has suggested a number of people he would like to perform, and Adele and Ed were on that list. He was very keen that they were part of the concert,” sources said. “There is a team set up to get the talent signed up, so they approached the two of them, but got replies saying that they were unavailable, which was a massive disappointment. They are titans of the showbiz industry and are quintessentially British, but also known across the globe. It’s such a shame.”
