Calvin Harris privacy fears for £3.6m Cotswold mansion as local bus passengers can see inside
Scots DJ Calvin Harris has been forced to install privacy glass throughout his luxury Cotswold mansion because a busy bus route thunders by. Scots DJ Calvin Harris is going to huge lengths to make sure his new multimillion Cotswold mansion is free from prying eyes. The Dumfries-born musician has installed one-way, reflective glass on windows throughout the three-storey luxury home after realising it sat on a busy bus route. The star, 41, bought the five-bedroom property in a quiet Gloucestershire village near the Oxfordshire border for £3.6m million pounds in 2019. After demolishing the original structure, he spent five years having the house - which sits on 10 acres of land - rebuilt, using designs by an architect favoured by the Royal Family. But his dream vision for the pad doesn't appear to have come to fruition, as he's since discovered that a busy bus route sits right outside, and anyone on board can see right inside. Local coach firm Pulhams Travel regularly sends buses thundering by the Feels So Close hitmaker's home on an hour-long circular route with eight stops, according to Mail Online. Calvin - real name Adam Wiles - is reportedly set to move into the property with pregnant wife Vick Hope, 35, later this summer. In order to preserve their privacy when they get there, he's had the special glass fitted throughout the property, which was visible to see for the first time this week as scaffolding was removed. The pad is a far cry from Calvin's beginnings in Dumfries, where he honed his skills in the bedroom of his parents' home while funding his efforts working in a fish factory and stacking shelves in the local M&S and Safeway. He went to become a global chart-topper, with 11 UK No1s and collaborations with the world's biggest stars including Rihanna and Ellie Goulding. Calvin is now thought to be worth a cool £240 million and is one of the highest paid DJs in the world after a multimillion pound Las Vegas residency and selling his song catalogue for a reported £76million. He is reported to be heavily investing his fortune in property and already owns a £12million mansion in LA, a £7.5million London townhouse, and his 138-acre Ibiza farm in Ibiza, where he lived before his romance with Countryfile and Radio 1 host Vick went public. He's also reported to have snapped up two other homes nearby and is considering a fourth, bringing his spending in the area to an estimated £15million. Calvin and wife Vick, who were married in 2023 and announced they were expecting their first child back in May, are in good company with their new base, with celebrity neighbours including Kate Moss and Jeremy Clarkson. One local previously told the Sun: "Building work there finally finished, for now, last week and we're expecting Calvin and Vick to move in at the end of the summer after his season playing at clubs in Ibiza has finished. "From the road, the house looks amazing. No expense seems to have been spared. I am sure they will love living here as a family." Calvin's Cotswolds property empire has seen him likened to fellow musician Ed Sheeran, who bought up a raft of homes in Suffolk, with locals there dubbing his estate as 'Sheeranville'. One neighbour previously told The Sun: "Just like Ed Sheeran, he seems to want to buy up the properties that surround his incredible new house. "We have had to put up with lots of building work going on, for what seems like years but what has annoyed locals most is that a lovely vineyard has gone." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Michael Vick hire brings 82% increase to Norfolk State ticket prices
The post Michael Vick hire brings 82% increase to Norfolk State ticket prices appeared first on ClutchPoints. With Fall fast approaching and Michael Vick gearing up for his debut season with Norfolk State, ticket prices to watch the Spartans are anticipated to rise significantly. In April, Norfolk State released its full football schedule, including five home games. The announcement revealed that season tickets will cost $200 in 2024, an 82% increase from the previous price of $110. Advertisement The price increase comes as no surprise, with more football fans likely eager to watch Vick take on the role of an HBCU head coach. This aligns with Norfolk State's broader strategy to boost revenue for its athletics program and maintain competitiveness across all sports. Additionally, the House v. NCAA Settlement provides a new opportunity to support these efforts. Norfolk State is one of several HBCUs participating in the House settlement, enabling the Spartans to explore the NCAA's revenue-sharing plan established by the House vs. NCAA agreement. Under this new model, a portion of every ticket sale will directly benefit Spartan student-athletes. 'Our decision to join the NCAA's revenue-sharing plan emphasizes Norfolk State's unwavering commitment to our student athletes,' Norfolk State Director of Athletics Dr. Melody Webb said in a statement. 'This choice to opt into the principles of the House Settlement underscores our dedication to advancing our athletics department as we prepare for a new era in collegiate athletics. As we join other institutions in adopting this evolving revenue-sharing model, we remain committed to navigating this journey for the benefit of our student-athletes. We are resolute in our goal to not only stay competitive but also achieve championship success.', The settlement compensates former and current athletes who were denied the opportunity to benefit from their name, image, and likeness (NIL) before the NCAA policy changes in 2021. Additionally, football teams can now exceed the 63 equivalency scholarships if their budgets allow it. It will be interesting to see how the competitive landscape of HBCU football in Michael Vick's first year with Norfolk State will be in this new era.

NBA icon celebrates 50th birthday wearing Norfolk State jersey
On June 7, 2025, NBA legend Allen "The Answer" Iverson celebrated his 50th birthday in fitting style-sporting a Michael Vick No. 7 jersey at a lavish after?party that doubled as a testament to sports, music, and HBCU culture colliding under one roof. The festivities were nothing short of remarkable. Hip Hop turned up when Baton Rouge rapper Lil Boosie delivered a high?energy set, igniting the crowd. Among the VIPs were boxing champion Terence Crawford and none other than Norfolk State's head football coach, Michael Vick. The former NFL star, who took the helm at NSU in December 2024, has already begun elevating the university's brand through his celebrity gravitas and wide network. Vick's hiring marks part of a broader trend in HBCU athletics, following trailblazers like Deion Sanders and Eddie George, in leveraging household names to boost visibility and recruitment. Norfolk State's athletic director, Melody Webb, emphasized that Vick's "resilience and personal journey" make him the perfect ambassador to attract talent and media attention. Meanwhile, Iverson-born June?7,?1975, in Hampton, Virginia-reflected on a career that defied expectations. Standing just 6?0? and 165?lb, he was a rare force in a league of giants. Nicknamed "The Answer," he amassed 11 NBA All?Star nods, a 2001 MVP award, four scoring titles, and over 24,000 career points, all with his trademark fearless style and cultural flair. After retiring in 2011, he continued shaping the game's culture and influence-later culminating in a statue unveiled near the 76ers' training complex in 2024. That evening, with music booming, HBCU jerseys front and center, and legends mingling, Iverson's milestone became more than personal-it was a celebration of intertwined legacies. As coach Vick builds Norfolk State's brand and Iverson's influence endures, the night stood as a vivid reminder that greatness spans generations, sports, and stages.
