As a life-long fan whose life has been changed and enhanced by this man's music, I feel spoiled these last few years. Can't wait! 😍
I am looking forward to this finally coming out, Tall Tales is very important to me.

I rarely feel any sort of pride for the Greek people, but today was different. Maybe finally we've had enough of the corruption, the lies, the injustice, the nepotism and the power abuse. Just maybe.

Nottingham Forest respond from their 5-0 thrashing against Bournemouth by hitting a magnificent seven against Brighton at the City Ground.
It's Forest's biggest top flight win since beating Chelsea 7-0 in 1991.

Nottingham Forest are running riot against Brighton at The City Ground.
An own goal from Lewis Dunk, a Morgan Gibbs-White header and Chris Wood's 15th of the campaign have put Nuno Espirito Santo's side 3-0 up at the break.

The timing for their "signs of vulnerability" couldn't be better. 😁 #nffc
Liverpool left Tottenham with a burning sense of injustice after a 1-0 defeat in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final.
#LFC's wider issue is they have conceded 13 goals in nine games in all competitions and are showing signs of vulnerability.

Liverpool have defensive issues to address if they are to succeed in their pursuit of trophies
The Premier League leaders are conceding too many goals in recent weeks and were vulnerable against Tottenham in the Carabao Cup semi-final
