Quick Glance: Sons of John Lennon and Paul McCartney Release New Single

The most famous songwriting credit in history, Lennon-McCartney, has been revived - this time for a song written by the Beatles' sons.

Primrose Hill, a track by Paul McCartney's son James, co-written with Sean Ono Lennon, is an acoustic ballad featuring a shuffling backbeat and contemplative guitar solo.

McCartney described the song in an Instagram post as a vision he had as a child in Scotland: 'Primrose Hill is about getting the ball rolling with me & finding this person.'

Fans also have the chance to acquire a unique piece of McCartney memorabilia - the open-top double-decker bus used by him and Wings for their 1972 European tour, expected to be auctioned for up to £200,000 on April 22.

Quick Glance: Refugees Flee Violence in Southeastern Myanmar

Thousands of people from Myanmar’s Kayin (Karen) State have fled to Thailand to escape the fighting between the junta and ethnic Karen troops.

The Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) captured the last military outpost in Myawaddy, leading to retreat and reinforcement by junta forces.

The battles intensified, causing an influx of refugees crossing the Moei River into Thailand, with Thai authorities offering humanitarian aid.

Thailand is fortifying its border defenses and providing assistance to refugees as the situation remains tense along the border.

Grammy award winner and American Idol singer dies at age of 47: Star found fame after coming ninth in the fifth season of the popular TV talent show

walesonline.co.uk/lifestyle/showbiz/grammy-award-winner-american-idol-29027085

Quick Glance: Mandisa, 'American Idol' Singer and Grammy Winner, Passes Away at 47

Grammy-winning singer Mandisa, who rose to fame on season five of 'American Idol,' has passed away, her representative confirmed on Friday.

Mandisa, whose full name is Mandisa Lynn Hundley, shot to stardom after placing ninth on 'American Idol.' She went on to win a Grammy for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album in 2014 for her album 'Overcomer.'

In 2017, the singer told 'Good Morning America' that she fell into a deep depression in 2014 and almost took her own life following the death of her close friend, Lakisha Mitchell, who had breast cancer.

Tributes poured in following news of Mandisa’s passing, with colleagues like Robin Roberts and Matthew West expressing their sorrow and reminiscing about their time spent with the late singer.
