Chappell

In February, shortly after pop wunderkind Chappell Roan used her Grammy acceptance speech to demand record labels pay their artists a livable wage and give them better healthcare, the Hollywood Reporter published an inflammatory op-ed by a former label exec.

For almost a decade Japanese authorities have pursued the extradition of Kelly, his son Kaine Wright, 28, of Plumstead, and Joe Chappell, 38, from Belvedere.

A judgement is due next month on Chappell and Wright who have had their cases heard in various courts in recent years.

Over the past year though, a growing number of artists have been adding their own sprinkles with pop stars including Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter leaning into the genre.

Chappell's The Giver went straight to number two in the UK charts when it was released in March, with the self-proclaimed Midwest Princess saying she wanted to give country music a new take with "a little gay yodel".
