Sam Wellings, an Australian rock star known as Kim Dracula, had to cancel two of their shows in Texas after their tour bus caught fire.

Aussie rocker Sam Wellings, aka Kim Dracula, narrowly avoided death on Monday after their tour bus went up in flames in the US. The singer, 26, endured the terrifying ordeal in Texas after being woken up by their crew, who were “screaming and banging on the door”.

Recalling the heartstopping incident after being forced to cancel their gigs in Texas and Arkansas, Wellings took to Instagram, explaining: “At 6am this morning our bus caught fire while we were sleeping. I was in the back behind a locked door and was woken up by my crew screaming and banging on the door telling me to get off the bus.

We all departed right away, and within 30 seconds, the entire bus was engulfed in flames, starting where I was lying down.

The vehicle had a charred and soot-strewn interior and two fire engines en route to the fire, according to a video that came with the post.

Miraculously, no one on the bus was hurt, but Wellings continued, “Most of us lost all our possessions, including things we needed for the show,” despite the crew’s injuries. We were unable to perform tonight and won’t be able to do so tomorrow.

They explained that the Texas and Arkansas shows had been postponed, adding, “We hope to be back on the road supporting Ice Nine Kills starting in Madison.”

Wellings concluded that they had planned to release the news sooner but were unable to do so because they had lost their phone in the fire.

“My phone went up in the fire, so I was unable to make this post any earlier.” However, everyone on the crew is safe, including myself. We anticipate returning soon.

However, “every member of the crew is safe, including myself.” We anticipate returning soon.

Wellings from Tasmania in Australia, shot to fame during the pandemic with viral metal remakes on TikTok.

Their uber popular cover of Lady Gaga’s Paparazzi made them the fourth most-followed Australian music artist on the platform in 2020.

The actor has since released their album A Gradual Decline in Morale (2023), appeared on Lin-Manuel Miranda’s concept album Warriors, and previously toured the United States with Hanabie, a Japanese metalcore group.

Welllings still hopes to bring his Horror Down Under tour to Australia this November.

Here’s how to save money by reproducing a PSL at home. Starbucks has announced the precise date it will be returning its well-known seasonal pumpkin spice lattes for 2025.

Nothing more denotes the return of this season than Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Lattes, even though it may only be August.

The colossal coffee shop has announced that its Pumpkin Spice Lattes (previously known as PSLs) will be available to order starting today, August 26th, for around the £4 mark. These are milky, sweet coffees with added flavors of pumpkin, nutmeg, and cinnamon. However, making your own coffee can make a lot of difference if you want to save money. Here’s how…

I had four supermarket sleep teas and a £1.50 purchase sent me right away.

A flavored coffee pod is the simplest way to experience this autumnal flavor at home. We adore Grind’s Pumpkin Spice coffee pods, priced at £15.75 for 30 pods, because they are completely compostable at home. You’ll need the best coffee pod machine, of course, because they work with either Grind’s own very stylish-looking model (we reviewed here), but at 53p per pod, it’s a lot less expensive than Starbucks.

If you instead have a Nescafé Dolce Gusto machine at home, you can try something nearer in taste to the original thing with Starbucks’ own Pumpkin Spice Latte Coffee Pods, £4.75 for six at Sainsbury’s, or currently £3.50 if you have a Nectar card – so costing from 58p a drink. Sainsbury’s shoppers are describing these as “perfect for those colder nights, pumpkin and a hint of spice” and “tasty, not too sweet, just the right amount of spices”.

Another simple way to experience PSL at home is by adding a flavored syrup to your regular coffee if you don’t have a coffee pod machine. On Amazon, you can purchase both the well-known brand MONIN Pumpkin Spice Syrup, which costs $ 7.99, and the low-calorie Skinny Food Co Pumpkin Spice Coffee Syrup, which has thousands of five-star reviews.

In your own kitchen, make creamy lattes and cappuccinos with milk frothers if you want to up your barista game even more. The Nespresso Aeroccino3 Milk Frother, which costs $79, has been around for years, and if it still works, this tiny handheld battery-powered milk whisk, costing $58.09, does the same thing.

Our beauty and wellness editor, Laura Mulley, a former Starbucks barista, has thoroughly reviewed the Nespresso Vertuo and praised its high-quality coffees.

Sam Thompson has gone through a lot in the last year, including splitting from his ex-partner Zara McDermott and growing his podcast Staying Relevant with friend Pete Wicks.

Podcaster Sam Thompson has announced that he is ‘done’ with reality TV as he switches his focus to other projects.

The former Made in Chelsea star, 33, said that he had reached an age where he felt it was time to stop and concentrate on podcasts and documentaries.

Sam, who won the 2023 edition of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! has been building up a following through the podcast he co-hosts with friend Pete Wicks called ‘Staying Relevant’.

Sam said, “You get to an age when you go, “I’m done,” when it comes to reality TV. You can’t beat that, and the jungle was the perfect place for me to end my time there.

I haven’t taken a vacation in two years. I’d like to take some vacation next year. “Possibly there will be a second documentary coming out soon.”

Whilst documentaries may be on the horizon, for the moment Sam is best known for the podcast he co-hosts with former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Pete Wicks, who has been a supportive friend since Sam’s split from fellow Made in Chelsea star Zara McDermott in January.

In a lie detector test, Pete, 36, admitted he preferred Sam being single over Zara, whom he dated for five years. The lie detector’s operator established that Pete was telling the truth.

Pete has been supportive of Sam, but he has also made fun of him by calling him a “single man with cats”—felines who Sam refers to as “like my sons.”

Speaking to The Standard about his relationship with his podcasting co-host, Sam is honest about their surprise at their success as they prepare for a live recording in front of 20,000 people at London’s O2.

We’re so proud of ourselves for getting there, he said. We can’t believe it’s happening, but it’s crazy. We realized that we were just cracking up when we looked back and saw all the things we had accomplished. We have actually accomplished some things.

Speaking to The Sun about his future plans, Sam doubled down on his desire to slow the pace to ‘consolidate’ what he has at the moment. He said: “Next year, I want to really consolidate and figure out what it is that I want to do, and not just be a yes man.

Fans have criticized Kim Kardashian for allowing her daughter North, 12, to wear a corset and a mini skirt on a day out together.

Kim Kardashian has been criticised for allowing her daughter North, 12, to wear a corset and mini skirt. The family are currently on holiday in Rome, Italy but fans took issue with the not-yet teenager’s outfit.

North was taller than her mother, who wore a stunning black silk dress, and had pigtail-styled blue hair. North was also sporting some chunky boots, a corset, and a very short skirt.

However, enraged fans took to social media to vent their outrage. Why does North appear so grown-up, one wrote? What 12-year-old wears a corset, adds another phrase. Kim is a truly unknowing parent.

This is literally a child, according to a third commentator, who also claimed, “Her and Beyoncé are the same when it comes to how they dress their [children] in public.” She typically wears oversized baggy clothing. A fifth phrase comes to mind: “It’s insane for me to be 12 years old in North.”

North previously opened up about being in the spotlight – and the daughter of former power couple Kim Kardashian and rapper Kanye West. Kim and Kanye are now divorced, and the latter is with Bianca Censori.

When questioned about her preference for being on camera, she responded, “I prefer taking pictures of myself, but I dislike it when paparazzi do.” When I just woke up, I thought, “Yo, I’m going to sue you because there are so many paparazzi.”

I’m like, “Okay, I could take a picture if I’m ready, if I’m not tired, and if my outfit is good. She continued, “I always wanted to pause time when her mother asked if she had a superpower.”

When I was in class last year, I said, “I want to pause time and finish my work, and then I run out of class and go to Starbucks, and then I go around to Japan and then I go everywhere!”

North and Kim shared a joint account on TikTok, where she also showed off her appearance. The rest of the family is spending time in Italy, with North and Kim. With her ex-kanye, Kim also has Saint, nine, and Psalm, six, and Chicago, seven.

She said, “Every time I go to the Met, I love bringing my oldest daughter with me just to see me get ready. All of her aunties are in the hotel, and we’re all getting ready together, so it’s just a fun few days.

She continued, “She’s a big critic, but it’s pretty good, you know, her critiquing,” explaining what her daughter had taught her about fashion. You can be yourself, after all, right?

She’s in a really positive mood, like vibe right now, where it’s just like, “Eye, even if that’s not my style, I’m not going to criticize that because just be you and if you like that then that’s what you should be into. ” She was such a positive force tonight, and I love that energy. “I love that energy.

Taylor Swift’s fans have defended her as romance rumors continue to swirl following her pal Zoe Kravitz’s alleged cozying up to her ex-boyfriend Harry Styles.

Actress Zoe Kravitz has faced the wrath of Taylor Swift’s fans as they accuse her of breaking ‘girl code’ by cosying up to her ex Harry Styles. Many fear she may get on the wrong side of Bad Blood hitmaker Taylor over the rumoured romance.

Taylor, who enjoyed a three month fling with the One Directioner, holds a very tight group of girlfriends close in her circle – previously expelling members when loyalties changed.

Zoe, 36, is understood to be in the early stages of a new romance with Harry, 31, after they were reportedly spotted kissing in a London restaurant. Just days later, the pair were seen in Rome holding hands while on a stroll.

Harry has a history with pop star Taylor, 35, who is currently loved up with NFL star Travis Kelce. Taylor and Harry dated between 2012 and 2013 before an “almighty row” sent them spiralling.

Taylor’s fans haven’t been impressed by Zoe, though, because she has known the singer for a while. Many people think Zoe has crossed the line despite Taylor and Harry’s climax more than ten years ago.

One fan sarcastically asked: “What’s girl code?” Another added: “Man, she’s Taylor’s friend and he’s her ex, I find that so weird …” Someone else commented: “Isn’t she taylor’s friend.”

All right, but I wouldn’t trust her the same, a fourth person wrote. Wondering Taylor’s feelings. One fan said, “If I were Zoe, I wouldn’t be with Harry at all because he was with Taylor, one of her close friends.”

Like, no matter how long their relationship has been, I don’t know if dating a friend is weird. EVEN IF Taylor had told Zoe that she was completely fine with it and that she was. I don’t know, though, that and all of that.

Some people believed Zoe may have requested Taylor’s “benediction” for the romance. Do you really believe Zooe Kravitz would dress like Harry Styles in public without getting Taylor’s permission? like, please. She doesn’t seem to care, I’m sure of it.

Another phrase was added, “People believe Taylor is crying because he was seen with Zooe Kravitz,” Are we serious about what we do?

Harry and Zoe were seen kissing outside Rita’s bistro in London last Tuesday, according to the Sun. According to reports, they had a conversation after Zoe’s film Caught Stealing’s premiere that evening in Leicester Square.

Harry and Zo were sleeping like teenagers, according to a source close to the source. They claimed that the pair appeared to be really into each other and appeared to be unconcerned about being spotted.

Harry and Zoe entered together, and the source claimed it was “definitely a date” before lamenting how gorgeous they both looked together.

The pair then met up in Rome, where Harry spends “a lot of time” there. There are no labels at this time. They are having a lot of fun together, the source continued.

Both Harry and Zoe have enjoyed high profile romances over the years. Batman star Zoe had been linked to Channing Tatum for three years., however they split in October.

Harry split from actress Taylor Russell in May last year after 14 months together. More recently, he was spotted kissing a producer whilst at Glastonbury in June this year.
