Stevie Wonder announces hiatus for kidney transplant - NBC News

Pop star Stevie Wonder announced Saturday that he plans to take a break from performing to prepare for kidney replacement surgery.

"I’m all good," Wonder told the audience during a set at the British Summer Time Hyde Park concert series in London. "I have a donor, it’s all good. I want you to know: I came here to give you my love and to thank you for your love."

Wonder, 69, said he would perform three more dates before pausing his schedule for the procedure in September. According to Tickemaster, he's scheduled to perform in Dublin July 9.

The singer, pianist and 25-time Grammy Award winner said he made the announcement to quell rumors about his health.

"I don’t want to have any rumors about it, so I’m telling you about it because I like to keep it real with you all the time," Wonder told the crowd.

"I love you," he said, and the audience roared. "God bless you. And until we get together again, I send you love from up above."

Kevin Spacey questioned by Scotland Yard over assault allegations - Fox News

British police have traveled to the U.S. to interview Kevin Spacey about sexual assault allegations.

The Metropolitan Police is investigating six claims of sexual assault and assault against the former "House of Cards" star, who ran London's Old Vic Theatre between 2004 and 2015.

Variety reported Saturday that British detectives interviewed Spacey in May.

KEVIN SPACEY SEX ASSAULT ACCUSER TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS

British police don't identify suspects until they have been charged. Without naming Spacey, the London force said that in May "a man was voluntarily interviewed under caution in America by officers from the Met's Complex Case Team. He was not arrested. Inquiries are ongoing."

"Under caution" means the interview was recorded and can be used in future prosecutions.

Spacey's attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

KEVIN SPACEY ACCUSER ANTHONY RAPPS HOPES HE'S 'CHANGED THE CULTURE' AFTER COMING FORWARD

In the United States, a young man who says Spacey groped him in a Nantucket bar in 2016 dropped his lawsuit against the two-time Academy Award winner this week. Spacey still faces a criminal charge over the alleged incident and pleaded not guilty to indecent assault and battery in January.

In 2017, American actor Anthony Rapp alleged that Spacey, who is now 59, had climbed on top of him on a bed when Rapp was 14 and Spacey 26.

After Rapp's allegation the Old Vic conducted an investigation into its former leader. It said it had received 20 allegations of inappropriate behavior by Spacey, and had encouraged 14 of the complainants to go to the police.

Kevin Spacey was questioned by London police about sex assault allegations in the UK, Variety reports - CNN

The report, without citing specific sources, says six allegations of sexual assault have been lodged with Scotland Yard, London's police force, by six different men between 1996 and 2013.
The Met Police does not identify individuals who may be subject to an investigation, but when asked about the Variety report, told CNN it had received allegations that one man had sexually assaulted six different individuals between 1996 and 2013, and that the man "was voluntarily interviewed under caution in America, by officers from the Met's Complex Case Team."
"He was not arrested," Met Police said. "Enquiries are ongoing."
The questioning of the man took place in May, Met Police said.
CNN has reached out to and is awaiting a response from Alan Jackson, the actor's Los Angeles-based attorney.
Spacey, 59, faces criminal charges of indecent assault and battery in Massachusetts following an alleged incident in July of 2016 in which an accuser said Spacey bought him "multiple alcoholic beverages" before he then forcibly touched and fondled the then-18-year-old's genitals.
The former "House of Cards" star has pleaded not guilty to the charges and is expected to attend a hearing related to the case in Massachusetts on Monday.

Civil lawsuit dropped

Friday, the accuser in that case dropped a civil lawsuit he had filed against Spacey a week earlier. In it, the accuser made the same allegations he made in the ongoing criminal case and said he had suffered mental distress. The suit demanded judgment in an amount to be determined by a jury, including costs, interests and attorney fees.
CNN is not naming the accuser because he is an alleged victim of sexual assault.
The accuser's attorney, Mitchell Garabedian, told CNN via email Friday that he and his client voluntarily dropped the lawsuit and that he would have no further comment.

A lost cell phone

At issue in Monday's pretrial hearing is the cell phone on which the accuser texted his girlfriend and sent a video during the alleged assault. The prosecution says it obtained data from the phone, which it shared with the defense, and then the phone was returned to the man's family. Spacey's defense team wants to examine the phone itself, claiming that exculpatory evidence may have been deleted before it was given to police and prosecutors.
"Access to the underlying databases is necessary to perform a proper analysis, including whether messages may have been deleted or to attempt recovery of deleted data," defense expert Sankara Shanmugam wrote in an affidavit.
Judge Thomas Barrett ruled in June the defense was entitled to inspect the phone. However, the accuser and his family have said they don't have it and don't know where it is.
Barrett extended the deadline for turning the phone over until Monday and said that if it's not found, the accuser, his attorney and his mother must appear in court to testify about its whereabouts.

Kevin Spacey 'questioned by Met Police in US' - BBC News

Actor Kevin Spacey has been questioned in the US by the Metropolitan Police over sex assault allegations in the UK, according to Variety magazine.

Variety said Scotland Yard detectives travelled to the US in May to interview the Oscar-winner under caution.

He faces six allegations of sexual assault in the UK between 1996 and 2013. Police said he was voluntarily interviewed - he was not arrested.

Spacey faces a number of sexual assault allegations, which he denies.

While the Metropolitan Police did not name Spacey, a spokeswoman said: "In May 2019, a man was voluntarily interviewed under caution in America, by officers from the Met's Complex Case Team.

"He was not arrested. Inquiries are ongoing."

Spacey, 59, was artistic director at London's The Old Vic theatre between 2004 and 2015.

The latest development emerged a day after a man who claimed Spacey groped him in the US in 2016 dropped his civil case.

The unnamed man had been seeking unspecified damages over Spacey's alleged "explicit sexual behaviour" at a Nantucket bar.

Spacey still faces a criminal charge in the US and pleaded not guilty to indecent assault and battery in January.

Overall, Spacey has faced allegations of sexual assault from more than 30 men.

The first allegation came from the actor Anthony Rapp in November 2017.

Mr Rapp claimed Spacey had made sexual advances to him in 1986 when he was 14 years old and Spacey was 26.

Mr Spacey claimed to have no memory of the events, but publicly apologised. He has since issued an "absolute" denial of the other allegations that later emerged.

Meghan and Harry release Archie christening photos - CNN International

The baby son of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex was christened in Windsor on Saturday, exactly two months after Archie was born on May 6. Photos taken after the private ceremony were released hours later.
The snaps were taken by fashion photographer Chris Allerton in the Green Drawing Room at Windsor, the same room where Harry and Meghan took some of their wedding pictures last year.
One of the photos shows Archie with his parents, his grandfather the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Meghan's mother Doria Ragland, and two sisters of Princess Diana, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes.
A second, black and white photo, pictured just Archie, Meghan and Harry in the Rose Garden at the castle.
Harry and Meghan were criticized by some for keeping Archie out of the spotlight, especially after it emerged recently that British taxpayers footed a £2.4 million (about $3 million) bill for their home renovation.
While royal baptisms have been private, cameras have been allowed to capture the arrivals of the family and their guests when the three children of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge -- George, Charlotte and Louis -- were christened.
Meghan and Harry's private christening for baby Archie causes almighty storm
The christening was held at a private chapel in Windsor Castle. The intimate service was officiated by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby.
Harry was christened at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle in 1984, and he and Meghan wed there in May 2018.
Only a few guests were invited to witness the baptism, according to Buckingham Palace. Among them were the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The Queen skipped the event due to a prior engagement, according to the palace.
Seventh in line to the throne, Archie Harrison does not qualify immediately for the title of prince and the Sussexes have chosen not to use any title at all for their son.
The photos provide the first proper view of Archie's face.
While Archie will have the right to use his father's second peerage title, Earl of Dumbarton -- his parents have indicated they won't be using it for him.
However, when Prince Charles becomes King, Prince Harry's son will automatically become His Royal Highness Prince Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.
