Surprise Aussie Orlando Bloom sighting amid Katy Perry split rumours

Katy Perry's longtime partner Orlando Bloom has been spotted here in Australia, amid rumours the couple's relationship is on the rocks.
Perry is nearing the end of the Australian leg of her Lifetimes tour, with shows in Perth last night and tonight before she finishes her Oz jaunt with four shows in Adelaide.
Earlier this month and several shows into the Australian tour, reports surfaced claiming that Perry's nine-year relationship with actor Bloom was all but done.
'It's over,' a source alleged to Page Six. 'They are waiting till her tour is over before they split.'
The pair have been engaged since 2019, and welcomed daughter Daisy Dove the following year.
But while Bloom wasn't present for the earlier shows of the Australian visit, it appears he's now flown to Perth to join Perry and their daughter on tour.

He was snapped walking through the Perth CBD yesterday ahead of Perry's first show in the city, with their daughter on his shoulders.
Perry, however, was nowhere to be seen.
A source in People made the somewhat unlikely claim that poor sales of Perry's latest album 143 and its accompanying singles were partly to blame for the alleged breakdown of her relationship.

'Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album,' the outlet quoted a source as saying. 'It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension.'
Other reports alleged that tensions surfaced between the couple over Perry's controversial all-female space flight back in April.
A source alleged to The Sun that Bloom was 'frustrated' and 'disappointed' with his partner's decision to go ahead with the brief joy ride into space.
Are a flop album and a five-minute space flight really to blame for this couple's alleged problems?
Perry looked to be enjoying herself before Bloom joined her on tour, partying at a gay club night held in her honour last week in Melbourne.
Perry cheered on the drag shows and mingled with patrons during the 'Poof Doof' party at Melbourne's Chasers nightclub last week, and even addressed the crowd to make a big announcement.

'Because you are my chosen family, a mother must provide for her children,' she told the heaving crowd in the club.
'So as a provider, I would like to open the bar for one hour. The drinks are on me, baby.'
Perry and Bloom had earlier split for a year in 2017 before getting back together.
The pop star addressed the past break on the podcast Call her Daddy last year, saying, 'We weren't really in it from day one. He was because he had just done a huge time of celibacy, and he had set intentions. I was fresh out of a relationship, and I was like, I can't do this anymore. I need to swim in a different pond, but I had to do a lot real work.'

AC/DC fans in High Voltage frenzy ahead of Aussie tour

Aussie fans are thunderstruck after hearing the news rock legends AC/DC are gearing up for a long-awaited homecoming tour. It's the first time in a decade the band will light up stadiums across the nation, and excitement is spilling over from fans' social media pages to venues like Melbourne's Cherry Bar. Bar owner James Young says the nightspot, which spent two decades on ACDC Lane before recently relocating, was where the band received its gold records for the hit tracks TNT and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap in 1976. Mr Young has seen the legendary band 17 times and is thrilled the Power Up tour is finally coming home. "You shouldn't die without having seen AC/DC," he told AAP. Original band member Angus Young will lead the charge, joined by longstanding vocalist Brian Johnson, Stevie Young on rhythm guitar, drummer Matt Laug, and bassist Chris Chaney. It will be a busy end to 2025 for music fans, with reunited rock band Oasis and Metallica also playing shows across Australia from October. Mr Young has already booked what he calls the best tribute band for that weekend. "It's just going to be absolutely bonkers," he said. Joining the tour will be special guests Amyl and the Sniffers, the Australian rock band that's had a stand-out year, taking home Song of the Year at the 2025 APRA Music Awards. The tour has even caught the attention of the City of Melbourne. It has hinted AC/DC might recreate the famous It's a Long Way to the Top music video - showing the band performing on the back of a truck on Swanston Street - either later this year or as part of the video's 50th anniversary in 2026. "Melbourne is a live music capital of the world. Recreating this iconic moment on Swanston Street will be unforgettable," Lord Mayor Nick Reece said. It won't be easy for concertgoers though, with Ticketek issuing a warning ahead of the highly anticipated sale, advising fans to be up bright and early to join its virtual queue if they hope to secure tickets. Tickets will go on sale on Thursday at staggered local times, with Sydney from 9am followed by Brisbane at 11am, Melbourne at 1pm and Perth at 1pm (AWST). To improve their chances, the company shared several tips: use only one device and one browser to access the sale, avoid refreshing your browser while in the queue, and be ready to check out quickly. Ticketek urged customers to only purchase tickets from its website and warned against buying from third-party resellers. The tour opens at Melbourne's MCG on November 12 before heading to Sydney on November 21, Adelaide on November 30, Perth on December 4 and Brisbane on December 14.

(Nine) He said that for $99 fans will be able to go to the Supercars Grand Final on Sunday and see an AC/DC at the same time. "So it will be two for the price of one," Malinauskas said.

"We believe it's an investment that is worthwhile given our ability to recoup the revenue," the premier said. Tickets for the BP Adelaide Grand Final, including access to the AC/DC concert, will go on sale from 10am on Thursday.

Margot Robbie in resurfaced State of Origin video

Don't miss out on the headlines from Entertainment. Followed categories will be added to My News. Margot Robbie has appeared in a resurfaced video from State of Origin in 2009.
