Reverend Canon Giles Fraser opened the ceremony with a tribute to the iconic designer, saying, “It was a life lived in the public gaze, but it was as vulnerable and retiring as it was glamorous. Despite the dazzle of his world, he never forgot his East End roots and how much he owed to his loved ones.” Singer Bjork and a Scottish piper playing “Braveheart” accompanied the emotional service with music.

Beyonce Escapes Car Crash
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music,
Beyonce narrowly escaped serious injury after her car door was ripped off by a taxi in London.
The “Halo” singer opened the door of her Mercedes after deciding to pop into top store Harrods en route to a restaurant in the UK capital’s Knightsbridge area. Shoppers looked on in horror as the taxi collided with the car’s door, ripping it off its hinges and missing Beyonce by just a matter of centimetres.
The pop star, who was traveling with her husband Jay-Z, looked visibly shaken after the incident.
“It was terrifying to watch. It all happened so quickly, the taxi came out of nowhere. She seemed very shaken and was lucky to be alive. A couple of seconds difference and God knows what could have happened,” a source told The Sun.
Beyonce, 28, and Jay-Z, 40, were on their way to a romantic meal at Japanese eatery Zuma when the singer decided to make her impromptu stop. After the accident, the couple were forced to dump the damaged car - and were sent a replacement to take them to the restaurant. She was later seen looking happy and relaxed after leaving Zuma with Jay-Z.

Fans walked out of Whitney Houston‘s concert at London’s O2 arena last night because of her poor performance.

After a shaky rendition of her most famous song “I Will Always Love You,” Whitney said of her voice: “She don’t want to come, my soprano friend. Sometimes the old girl sings, but not tonight. I want to do it, but she doesn’t want to. She’s getting a little - temperamental, even.”
