‘Door open' for Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner to play at music venue's final gig
Kane, 39, who plays with Turner in The Last Shadow Puppets, is due to play the venue's last gig on June 27, after The Leadmill announced it would have to leave its premises in the South Yorkshire city after losing a long-running eviction battle with its landlord, Electric Group. Arctic Monkeys played several early shows at the venue before the release of their first album, Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not, and Kane has said he would welcome Turner's return to the stage during an interview with Radio X. Asked whether the Sheffield-born singer, who is also 39, would join him, Kane said: 'Well, he's redecorating it (The Leadmill) at the minute, so he's making it all leopard print for us, because, you know, it's got to be done by hand. 'My door's always open for my bro, he knows that, and that's that.' Turner has not performed live since Arctic Monkeys' last gig on their tour in support of latest album The Car (2022) in 2023. The duo have seen both of their albums with The Last Shadow Puppets reach number one in the UK albums chart, and Kane said it would be an 'honour' to play The Leadmill's last gig having performed there throughout his career. He told Radio X: 'It's served me well, and Sheffield as a city as well has always had my back with gigs, that'd be one of the first to sell out or whatever. 'So, it's a complete honour, and let's give it a good send-off. I think it'll be a very special night, and it always pops off in there, and hopefully next Friday it won't be any different.' Arctic Monkeys have seen six of their seven albums reach number one, and two of their singles reach the peak of the UK singles chart in I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor and When The Sun Goes Down. The band performed I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor and a cover of The Beatles' Come Together at the opening ceremony of the London Olympic Games in 2012, and have also headlined Glastonbury on three occasions, in 2007, 2013 and 2023.

NHL trade rumors: Evander Kane likely on the move as Oilers explore major shake-up after Stanley Cup loss
Oilers are considering trading Evander Kane to free up cap space (Getty Images) After a crushing loss in the Stanley Cup Final, the Edmonton Oilers now face what could be their most pivotal offseason in years — and all signs point to big changes. Among them, star winger Evander Kane may soon be on the move as the franchise looks to create much-needed salary cap space. Evander Kane emerges as top trade candidate in Edmonton's reshuffle According to NHL insider David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period, Kane's name has surfaced as a likely trade chip, just days after the Oilers' defeat to the Florida Panthers. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Pagnotta reported: 'Also on Oilers, in an effort to create additional salary cap space, I wouldn't be shocked to see the names of Evander Kane (16-team trade list) and Viktor Arvidsson (full NMC) pop up in the trade market this month.' Kane, who carries a $5.125 million cap hit, has one season remaining on the four-year, $20.5 million extension he signed in 2022. With Edmonton's depth faltering during the Finals, Kane's inconsistent playoff production may have tipped the scales toward parting ways — despite his value as a physical, top-six forward. Oilers have limited cap space and major contracts to address The Oilers enter the 2025 offseason with under $12 million in available cap space and a growing list of free agents. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No dark spots, 10 years younger! Just take this from Guardian URUHIME MOMOKO Learn More Undo Evan Bouchard, Connor Brown, Corey Perry, John Klingberg, and Jeff Skinner are all due new contracts. Meanwhile, Connor McDavid becomes eligible for an extension on July 1 — a storyline that could dominate NHL headlines for months. Keeping both McDavid and Leon Draisaitl happy and convinced they can win in Edmonton is a top priority. That likely means surrounding them with a deeper, more reliable supporting cast — even if it comes at the cost of moving on from well-known names like Kane and Arvidsson. Florida outclassed the Oilers from the start of the series, and the loss exposed serious flaws in Edmonton's depth. While stars like McDavid and Draisaitl remain untouchable, few others on the roster can say the same. This offseason isn't just about cap gymnastics — it's about saving Edmonton's championship window.

Review: ‘An Iliad' is back at Court Theatre, reminding us war never goes away
My personal history reviewing 'An Iliad,' the contemporary vernacular take on the Homeric epic penned by Lisa Peterson and Denis O'Hare, has become my reminder of the ubiquitousness of war and human suffering. If you know the 90-minute piece, as extraordinarily performed at Chicago's Court Theatre by Timothy Edward Kane under the direction of Charles Newell, you'll know that its signature moment comes when The Poet, the one and only character, recounts at breathtaking speed a greatest-hits list of all the human conflicts since antiquity, the writers having left instruction in their script that this section should be kept up to date. The conceit here is that although The Poet is telling Homer's story of the final weeks of the brutal 10-year siege of Troy at the hands of a coalition of Greek city-states, and himself comes from that era, he also knows modern life. More simply put, he's like the Ghost of Wars Past, coming to warn those who fail to learn from prior human experience. You will not be surprised to know it remains a Sisyphean task. When I first reviewed this show, with this same actor, in 2011, the final word out of The Poet's lips was 'Afghanistan.' Court staged 'An Iliad' again in 2013. That time, it was 'Libya.' Wednesday night on the campus of the University of Chicago, it was 'Gaza.' I picked up my pen to note that maybe The Poet was falling fast behind. Especially by the time you read this, the final word probably should be 'Iran.' Maybe they will make that change. The other difference, of course, is the age of the actor playing The Poet; it has, after all, been 12 years. I haven't asked, but I'd imagine that Kane thought twice before he came back to this character; the actor is deeper into parenting now, and it seemed to me that the recounting of the human price of war was born this time more intensely of personal experience. But that might be in my head; it has been 12 years for me, too. And it could well be that Kane has come to terms with this being a career-defining role (he was widely acclaimed the first two times and the third time around is even better) and one that can be accessed at various points in his life. There was a discernible gulp from the actor as The Poet came up from wherever he lives between shows, but then Kane roared his way through the entire show. This time, I was struck by how well he caught the gestalt of the aging warrior back from an agonizing war, finding the clarity of thought that comes only with age and experience while still embodying the grunting, macho ethos that caused all of this chaos in the first place. Newell's staging, of course, has always had much to do with Kane's success, as has Todd Rosenthal's timeless scenic design. I'd probably say this was the career-defining piece for Newell, Court Theatre's former artistic director, too, although it has formidable competition within that particular career in artistic Chicago. What matters most here, and what makes this show a candidate for the best solo show in Chicago theater history, is that the telling comes at great cost to the teller. In most single-character monologues, the actor merely tells the story. But the point of this inspired take on Homer's 'The Iliad' (the Robert Fagles translation was the basis) is that the very act of recounting the story is so fraught, it competes with the drama of the war narrative itself. And the further point is that every telling gets harder, because it is a reminder of how humans refuse to learn. But The Poet sees it as a moral imperative. And a curse. I've no idea if The Poet will be coming back in future years to lament the latest wars and count once again the cost of armed conflict, be it ancient or modern, in sons, daughters, fathers, mothers. So I'd catch him now, just in case. But if he does, I don't doubt for a second there will be a fresh end to that inglorious list of glories. Review: 'An Iliad' (4 stars) When: Through June 29 Where: Court Theatre, 5535 S. Ellis Ave. Running time: 1 hour, 30 minutes Tickets: $100-$125 at 773-753-4472 and
