Just hours after we hear the news, Myf and Zan pay tribute to Tina Turner; an icon of music, a survivor who became a Queen, and an inspiration to so many. From our personal recollections, to chatting with her collaborators about working with her, it’s all about Tina as we reunite for Bang On this week.
Beyoncé has also been living large this week, after Zan caught her incredible set on Saturday night in Edinburgh. You’ll get the full debrief. Curious about the blue couch meme doing the rounds? Don’t worry, Myf will explain it all. And a piece on sad songs reveals which of us leans in and which doesn’t.
Myf is banging on about the TV series everyone is talking about: Jury Duty. And Zan watched a heap of movies on the plane to and from London, you’ll get the best of them. It’s a big Bang On!
