My Girlfriend' originally appeared on Parade. is opening up about his feelings about England, a music legend, and 'the one they call… my girlfriend.'

Reminded this morning of my great friend Carl Perkins! Words he spoke to me. 'Take care of your fans in England 🏴 They love real music 🎵 and true artist who are unique…original … and not afraid of boundaries.' So true my friend. The inspiration here is unbelievable….. especially the one they call…. my girlfriend. Thank you 🙏🏼 @elizabethhurley1 for reminding me how great this country is. You would have loved Carl!!! From what you've shared he and your Daddy were very similar. Happy early Birthday 🎂 to your Daddy Bear 🐻 Ready ….Set …. Don't Go,' Cyrus wrote in the caption. Perkins, for those unfamiliar with the name, is a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer who had a huge influence on Elvis Presley and the Beatles. He wrote and was the first to record 'Blue Suede Shoes' and the Beatles covered his songs 'Honey Don't,' 'Matchbox' and 'Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby' (though there was some controversy over the origins of the latter song). Perkins died in 1998 at the age of 65. Perhaps more noteworthy than the reference to Perkins is Cyrus' mentions of Hurley, who the 'Achy Breaky Heart' singer has been linked to since Easter. She recently revealed that the couple will be in England together to celebrate her 60th birthday in June, and Cyrus' post confirms he is indeed in the approved of Cyrus' post, giving him props in the comments. '👏👏🔥🔥 You two are on FIRE! Love this!! Can't wait to see you perform again. Love your voice your music and of course you!' wrote one fan. 'You have always been wonderful BR! You know I've been a loyal fan since 1992, Al Shlitz called me 'Miss England'. I have always been privileged to have some of the best UK fan / friend times and memories in the US and here in England. Your 1997 UK tour was an incredible time! Hope you're enjoying being on this side of the pond. Happy Sunday Callin'. Much love & admiration always 🇬🇧🎶❤️,' added another.

Alison Moyet: the trailblazer who beat a path for Adele proves she's still in the game
Toward the start of her appearance at a sold-out London Palladium on Tuesday night, Alison Moyet laid out her intentions for her show. Although the evening's entertainment, she explained, celebrated her four decades as a solo artist, the material picked for inclusion in the 21-song set would sound 'as if it was written in the same period'. There would be no succumbing to the easiest trappings of nostalgia here, thank you very much. There then came a dash of the kind of defiance – spikiness, even – that has distinguished her career. With barely a smile, the audience was told that it 'might disagree' with her description of the show – 'but it don't matter'. At its inspirational best, the 100-minute concert showed exactly why a superstar such as Adele owes Alison Moyet (at the very least) a lavish dinner and a spray of flowers. Now 63, her resonant voice – by turns towering and fibrous, strange and pliable – still possesses the kind of force that people flock to hear. Time and tide has not diminished it, or her. Displaying presence and authority, between songs, her informal and conversational manner was yet another quality that might well have provided an element of inspiration for a certain Tottenham-born singer who found fame via a trail blazed by this forebear. Without seeming to work up a sweat, her sense of control was impeccable. But there were problems, too. Backed only by a two-piece band (guitar and bass, mainly), the canned drums and numerous backing tracks used to fortify the live instruments lent the sound a brittle and thin quality. In a room such as the Palladium, the lack of wallop that could have been easily, and beneficially, provided by a full compliment of musicians was at times glaring. As well as sounding one-dimensional, at its worst, the swamp of electronica served to smother the very voice that more than 2,000 people had come to hear. Another thing, too: while no one in the stalls, or on the two balconies, expected the kind of racket served up by Motörhead, the volume was a bit too low. Sometimes, though, it worked. Having made her bones alongside former Depeche Mode songwriter Vince Clarke, as one half of Yazoo, the chilly minimalism of early-day bangers such as Only You and Don't Go (both raucously received) were served well by the sparse and metronomic nature of the arrangements. Elsewhere, too, hits such as Love Resurrection and All Cried Out, from 1984's more-than-million selling Alf album, proved that even partial facsimiles of live music can't keep a good song down. Neither did the technical chicanery prevent the evening as a whole from being charmingly breezy. Chatting away to the crowd, joking like a ditz, and baring teeth that remain pleasingly sharp – 'I do have a heart,' she said in the introduction to The Impervious Me. 'It's just that I don't care all that much' – Alison Moyet was easy to like and even easier to respect. There is of course a reason that every concert on her current 24-date UK tour is sold out, and why, unlike other female artists from the eighties (Hazel O'Connor, say), she is still held in considerable esteem. It's just a shame that in London the humanity of this most vivid of singers was obscured by synthetic adornments.
