Summary
- Singer Charli XCX's stage pyrotechnics at Glastonbury caused alarm.
- Actor Harris Dickinson, a James Bond contender, feared for his safety.
- Charli XCX denies making a rock album, despite new song title.
At last year's Glastonbury festival, Charli XCX's fiery performance on The Other Stage created a moment of unexpected chaos. The singer concluded her set by burning a green backdrop, a planned spectacle that inadvertently caused alarm among VIPs on a nearby platform.
Among those present was actor Harris Dickinson, rumored to be a contender for the James Bond role. He and his girlfriend, singer Rose Gray, expressed that they genuinely feared for their lives during the incident, unaware that the fire was part of the show. Dickinson is believed to be on a shortlist that includes actors like Callum Turner and Jacob Elordi.
Meanwhile, Charli XCX is entering a new phase with her upcoming album, "Music, Fashion, Film," set for release on July 24, 2026. Despite the lead single being titled "Rock Music," she has refuted claims of making a rock album. She expressed a fluid approach to genre, stating her artistic process with producers AG Cook and Finn Keane transcends traditional definitions.
In a recent interview, Charli XCX also disclosed that she is currently experiencing significant mental health challenges, leading her to spend more time offline. This shift comes after her past identity as a "very online artist."
