His star was so high but when it came down to it, he couldn’t breathe the air, it was almost impossible.” Indie hitmakers The Sherlocks play Reading and Leeds Festival this weekend. Guitarist Josh Davidson says they are throwing a massive party to celebrate their debut album Live For The Moment being in the top 10. What’s the most rock ‘n’ roll moment you’ve ever had?

The last man she was publicly linked to was bad-boy actor Jack O’connell, 27, who she dated in 2014, after her break-up with stunning actress Michelle Rodriguez, 39.
