				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Harry Styles gave fans a parting gift on Saturday night, playing an unreleased instrumental piano piece, bringing <em>Love On Tour </em>to a close. The 29 year old singer, who had been touring the globe in support of his latest album <em>Harry&#8217;s House, </em>concluded<em> </em>the final run of shows in Italy, a country that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L4m5ZMzf3A">&#8220;<em>has a special place in my heart</em>&#8220;</a> according to Styles.</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XO0-LGF8YJA" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br />
On a somewhat sombre note Styles, sat alone at his piano, peacefully plinked away as though he were at in a world one his own. Addressing the audience in English Styles spoke with immense gratitude,<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XO0-LGF8YJA">&#8220;</a><em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XO0-LGF8YJA">I&#8217;d like to say thank you to a couple of people, and then we&#8217;re gonna give you some more music&#8221;</a>,</em> thanking members of the road crew as well as his band before continuing in Italian saying that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XO0-LGF8YJA"><em>&#8220;Tonight we will give you 100%. Then it will be time to rest. For me. I am tired, but happy. Very tired, but very very happy. I want to to have as much fun as possible&#8221;</em></a> A visibly emotional Styles also thanked his family<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XO0-LGF8YJA"> &#8220;<em>for the way you&#8217;ve supported me over the last thirty years&#8221;. </em></a></p>
<p>In a video of the final performance audible sobbing can be heard coming from the swathes of smitten fans, weeping along to the glitter coated singers piano plucked swan song, the mood is melancholic and the tune is mediative giving off a &#8216;don&#8217;t be sad that its over be happy that it happened&#8217; kind of vibe.</p>
<p>Having persevered through pandemic pauses, perhaps it comes as no surprise that Styles chose to conclude the two year long world tour in Italy, in an interview with Apple Music&#8217;s hipster in chief Zane Lowe. Styles spoke an emotional experience of self discovery, finding peace and relaxation away from the prying eyes of the public on a solo road trip to Italy during the brief break between the lifting of lockdowns<em>. </em>Reflecting upon his road trip of self imposed solitude; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L4m5ZMzf3A"><em>&#8220;I relaxed a lot and felt like no one knew where I was and felt like a human being and felt very small in a good way&#8221;</em></a>, Styles drawls softly, his voice vibrating with hints of a pseudo-transatlantic accent.</p>
<p>The <em>Love On Tour </em>also saw Styles invite opening band Wet Leg on stage to perform a Harry Stylish rendition of the band&#8217;s omnipresent ear-worm &#8220;<em>Wet Dream&#8221; </em>off of their eponymous<em> </em>debut LP<em>.<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9244aNbCzg4">&#8220;It has been the most wonderful, wonderful tour, getting watch them play every night&#8221;</a> </em>he gushed before introducing the band in Portugal<em>. </em>This wasn&#8217;t the first time Styles and his band had performed their rendition of Wet Leg&#8217;s song, having already performed it as part of their set for Radio One&#8217;s Live Lounge.</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vMAPW7ZoOLw" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>Meanwhile Madame Tussauds have hatched a fresh batch of seven wax mannequins in honour of Harry&#8217;s&#8230;style? So it would seem, each wax figure depicts the singer donning one of his iconic outfits. The seven Styles have been shipped out across the globe, doomed to an eternity of exhibition halls, destined to be gawked at by gangs of giddy girls (and guys) for the remainder of their wretched wax lives.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A builder from Oldham, <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/builder-could-win-2000-after-finding-paul-mccartneys-piano-designs-in-skip-2625944">Andy Clynes may win up £2,000 after discovering sketches from Paul McCartney for a &#8220;psychedelic&#8221; piano.</a></p>
<p>Better still, these said sketches, commissioned by McCartney, were discovered in a skip. It&#8217;s a stroke of luck that could lead Andy to a very healthy payday.</p>
<p>In 1999, Andy was leading a team at a mill in Manchester where he encountered the drawings. They&#8217;d simply been discarded with other waste. Until now, the sketches had been stored in his loft and left forgotten. Twenty years later, he&#8217;s had them valued.</p>
<p>The sketches for the piano, which was designed in 1967, are set to be sold at Omega Auctions. Other items found in the find are due to be auctioned off in a separate sale. In total, they&#8217;re expected to reach £10,000.</p>
<p>Andy remains uncertain as to why the papers were left in the skip in the first place, considering their value. The sketches outline a list of commissions, of which were handed to the 1960s art group BEV.</p>

<p>The sketches contain McCartney&#8217;s own ideas, as well as designs for the Kinks. This comes after the collective were scheduled to work on their album,<em> ‘Sunny Afternoon’</em>.<br />

It was raining and I just picked up what I could. I imagine there was a lot more there but it was damaged.”</em></p>
<p>He added: <em>&#8220;It could have been an art studio at some time or another,” </em></p>
<p><em>“I’ve had them for 20-odd years. You put things away and forget about them and then something triggers your mind.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>The builder admitted: <em>“I haven’t planned what I’ll do with the money yet but I was surprised about the value.”</em></p>
