"I got here a year ago," former Scissor Sisters front man @jakeshears tells EDGE from Glasgow, where he's preparing to launch a concert featuring music from his new album, "Last Man Dancing." He's not referring to Scotland per se, but rather to the UK in general, having relocated to London. "I really miss New Orleans a lot," the pop star adds. "I miss my friends in the States. I miss my mom and dad." He goes on to lament the death of his beloved dog, who he'd brought along on the move. But life for Shears has been going full-tilt, and it doesn't sound like he's had much time to brood. "Between the Tammy Faye musical" – for which he wrote the lyrics to Elton John's music – "the album stuff and everything I've been working on, it's been a lot," Shears adds. No kidding: He toured with Duran Duran earlier this year, in addition to finishing the new album and making a handful of videos to go along with it, including the mini-movie set to "Too Much Music," the album's opener, which sees Shears starring in a neo-noir with DL gay overtones.

"Heartstopper" star @kit.connor says coming out as bi due to pressure from fans last year wasn't ideal, but according to The Wrap, the 19-year-old actor said, "I don't regret it.... it was really empowering." Connor was speaking with @britishvogue about the upcoming second season of @Netflix's LGBTQ+-themed dramedy, which is based on the graphic novels by Alice Oseman. "I just felt like it wasn't something I was ready to talk about," Connor told the magazine about the relentless social media attention he got when the show made him an international star overnight. The magazine recalled that fans accused Connor of queerbaiting. "The online harassment intensified; Connor left @Twitter," British Vogue recounted. "He planned to ignore the noise ('I don't think it's anyone else's business and I'm super young'), but returned in October [of 2022] with a tweet: 'I'm bi. Congrats for forcing an 18-year-old to out himself. I think some of you missed the point of the show. Bye.'" Save this post and tap our link in bio for more on @EDGEmedianetwork. ???? ?: @kit.connor

@stevegrandmusic broke the mold of the country singer when he came out with "All American Boy," his first album, in 2015. Having self-funded the video and CD release, Grand created a place for himself in the music industry and hasn't looked back since. "With over 18 million views on YouTube, a #3 and #10 album on The @Billboard Independent Album charts, and one of the most successful music Kickstarter campaigns ever under his belt, Grand has not just broken the rules, but has changed the game in how to be a successful singer-songwriter in this era," Save this post and tap our link in bio for more on @EDGEmedianetwork. ?️⚧️?️?????❤️ ?: @stevegrandmusic

Pop star @omar.apollo recalled the very moment it hit him that he was gay: It was while he was taking a shower. Apollo related how, just before becoming famous, he'd been living in a mold-infested attic where his "rent was $150, and I could barely pay it with what I made working at Guitar Center." "I had almost no money for food, but I'd uploaded my music onto SoundCloud, which is free," Apollo recalled to Chavarria. "A friend told me to also add it to Spotify – he even gave me the money to do it. I uploaded a song that day, 'Ugotme,' and it blew up." That was the start of Apollo's meteoric rise in the music world. It was, the recording artist said, also "literally the only way I could have possibly escaped that small, conservative town. I was making all these unrequited gay love songs." As for when he knew he was gay, Apollo recalled the exact moment for Chavarria, telling him, "I was 17 when it really hit me, and I remember I was in the shower like, 'Damn, that's crazy.'"

As we approach Father's Day, many of us are going to spend time with the men in our lives who helped shape us. Dads teach us many of the skills we use as adults, and good dads have wisdom and advice for their children when tough times arise. But there's another type of dad that's worth celebrating this June: the hottest daddies on the internet! These men aren't our fathers, and we don't want them to be. We're happy with them as objects of our affections, and we're ready to give you a list of the sexiest DILFs that will have you thirsting day and night!

British act @newhopeclub is still going strong after eight years. @newhopereece, @newhopeblake, and @newhopegeorge blend some singer/songwriter trappings in with their modern synth-snap beats to create a more mature, but no less catchy ,oeuvre.
