Angelo Bruschini, the masterful guitarist and producer who played with Massive Attack, The Blue Aeroplanes, and others, has died from lung cancer. He was 62 years old.

The news of Bruschini’s passing arrived on Tuesday via a post from his wife, Jessica, on Facebook. “I am very sad to announce that my beautiful husband, Angelo Bruschini, died on 23rd October 2023 at 12.15 a.m.,” she wrote. “It was from a rare and aggressive cancer — pleomorphic carcinoma.”

Massive Attack have also responded to the news. “A singularly brilliant and eccentric talent,” a post from the band’s official Twitter page reads. “Impossible to quantify your contribution to the Massive Attack canon. How lucky we were to share such a life together.”

Bruschini himself posted on Facebook about his condition earlier this year, writing in July that his prognosis did not look good. “Twice now I have been told ‘Good luck’ by specialists...

If it ain't broke, don't fix it! It seems Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton is sticking to that mantra considering she's been on a coat dress kick for the past two days. Ever the fashionable outfit recycler, the royal stepped out on Sunday in Belgium sporting the Alexander McQueen coat dress she first wore at daughter Princess Charlotte's christening in 2015.  A day later, the mother of two is back in the silhouette, rocking a new coat dress by Catherine Walker with a print embellishing the hem. The Melrose coat retails for roughly $8,571. Her ruffled fascinator also made its debut on Monday and fashion blogs suspect the design is by Jane Taylor.   Middleton spent...

The royal family put on quite the colorful display at this year's Trooping the Colour parade!

Kate Middleton and her daughter, 2-year-old Princess Charlotte, looked pretty in pink on Saturday for the annual birthday event celebrating Queen Elizabeth II, who turned 91 in April.

Watch: Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte Are the Cutest Mother-Daughter Duo at Pippa Middleton's Wedding

The Duchess of Cambridge wore a bubblegum pink Alexander McQueen skater dress, which she paired with a matching Jane Taylor hat and teardrop earrings. Her mini-me looked equally fab, sporting a pink polka-dot frock, white socks and berry-colored Mary Janes.

While the mother-daughter duo definitely turned heads in their matching ensembles, Prince George totally stole the show! The 3-year-old donned a cream Peter Pan-collared shirt with burgundy suspender shorts, appearing rather bored as the Royal Air Force show went on.

Gorgeous girls! Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte, 2, were twinning Saturday at the 2017 Trooping the Colour parade, an annual official birthday event for Queen Elizabeth II, who turned 91 in April. The Duchess of Cambridge and her daughter were both pretty in pink; Kate sported what a long sleeve cotton candy pink silk, cotton and wool Alexander McQueen skater dress with a paperbag waist and pleated hem and neckline, paired with a watermelon pink Jane Taylor hat. Charlotte wore a pink patterned smocked dress, white socks and dark berry Mary Jane shoes. With Kate carrying Charlotte, the two appeared with Prince William and 3-year-old Prince George, the couple's...

Once again, Prince George is taking his style cues from the past.

The little royal, who will turn 4 in July, stole the show at Saturday’s Trooping the Colour in a white and burgundy suspenders ensemble. And if royal fans thought the outfit looked familiar, they’re right — George’s uncle Prince Harry wore a similar outfit when he attended the Trooping the Colour ceremony in 1988. (However, Harry’s outfit was green and white and featured long sleeves.)

George is no stranger to wearing outfits inspired by older royals like Harry and his father, Prince William. The royal tot wore...

Prince George and Princess Charlotte are old pros when it comes to their balcony moment.

The royal siblings appeared alongside the rest of the royal family — including parents Prince William and Princess Kate and great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II — for the annual Trooping the Colour celebration on Saturday.

And the littlest royals didn’t disappoint! After making her debut balcony appearance last year, Charlotte, 2, knew just how to work the crowd of well-wishers below, smiling and waving in her mom’s arms while wearing a pink dress. George, who turns 4 in July, was just as excited as he watched the roaring...

It’s time for Trooping!

Saturday is the annual Trooping the Color in London, which marks the formal celebration of Queen Elizabeth II’s “official” birthday. (Her actual birthday is April 21 — you can learn about why she has two birthdays here.)

As usual, all your favorite royals were there to celebrate the 91-year-old monarch’s milestone.

The Queen and Prince Philip, who turned 96 last week, kicked things off in a carriage.

The Queen wore a powder blue Stewart Parvin outfit and a matching Philip Somerville-designed hat. She also wore her Brigade of Guards Badge, which she wears every year.

We all know Trooping The Colour - the queen's official birthday - is the time for pomp and pageantry, for Prince George and Princess Charlotte balcony appearances, and for Kate Middleton to showcase her latest Jane Taylor cocktail hat. But the queen's actual birthday on April 21 is usually a more low-key affair. Low key, yes, but thanks to a very quirky combination of royal duties, she has also had her fair share of weird and wonderful birthday treats - including six thousand singing children, traditional feasting in a remote Korean village, making a solemn vow in the depths of South Africa, and more.

Looks like Kate Middleton's got some new feathers in her cap—literally. The 34-year-old Duchess of Cambridge has sported countless unique headpieces during her time in the royal family, and today was no exception. At an event known for its extravagant headpieces, the Duchess made her debut in a woven gold Jane Taylor fascinator embellished with feathers and a cream rose at the Royal Ascot, an annual horse race. Kate is so well known for her hats that people placed bets on her selection for the Royal Ascot. In fact, it appears that bookkeepers at William Hill bet on both Kate and Queen Elizabeth's choice of headwear for the evening. Odds were 2/1 that the Duchess would choose something...

Taking care of their royal duties, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge descended on the horse races at Royal Ascot on Wednesday (June 15).

As she rubbed shoulders with the distinguished guests, Kate Middleton looked stylish and confident in her $5,000 Dolce and Gabbana getup, teamed with a woven Jane Taylor hat.

Meanwhile, Prince William gave the ladies plenty of man candy in his dapper tuxedo/top hat combo as he chatted with Crown Princess Mary of Denmark and the Countess of Wessex.

As if Princess Kate needs a name tag! Prince William and Kate joined Queen Elizabeth at the Royal Ascot races on Wednesday. Kate, in Dolce & Gabbana dress with a hat by Jane Taylor, and William, looking dapper in a top hat, rode in the fourth carriage in the procession down the course. And while Kate's elegant lace cream dress stunned, all eyes were on her name tag, which read: Hrh The Duchess of Cambridge. The title brings up an ongoing debate as to the royal's official name. While both duchess and princess are both acceptable for conversation and the written word,...

She turned 90 years old on April 21st, and today (June 10) Queen Elizabeth II was honored with a fancy birthday service at London’s St. Paul’s Cathedral.

The British monarch was joined by her grandsons Prince William and Prince Harry as well as Duchess Kate Middleton, Prince Charles, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie and of course her husband Prince Philip as she milled about in her primrose yellow ensemble by Angela Kelly.

Meanwhile, Kate garnered plenty of attention on her own, sporting a pale blue Catherine Walker getup with a white pillbox hat by milliner Jane Taylor. Happy Birthday Queen Elizabeth!

Queen Elizabeth's official 90th birthday celebrations kicked off on Friday but, while the day was all about the monarch, the stunning royal fashions on display also took center stage! Princess Kate, who arrived with Prince William and Prince Harry, wore a bespoke mist blue Catherine Walker & Co crepe coatdress adorned with white lace detail. She paired the look with a flower-covered bespoke Jane Taylor cocktail hat. (The same topper she wore to Princess Charlotte's christening last year!) Kate's mother-in-law Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall also opted for blue, wearing a light blue silk outfit by Bruce Oldfield with a coordinating Philip Treacy hat.

Prince William and Princess Kate joined Queen Elizabeth at a thanksgiving service at grand St. Paul's Cathedral in London on Friday as the Monarch kicked off three days of official celebrations of her 90th birthday. Flanking the Queen was her husband of 68 years, Prince Philip who was marking his own special milestone too - he turned 95 on Friday. Kate, in a "Julia" wool crepe coat that designer Catherine Walker & Co. described as "mist blue", and a hat by Jane Taylor, arrived with William and brother-in-law Prince Harry and had to wait - chatting with royal relatives.

Princess Charlotte’s christening on Sunday, July 5, was what one might call a (royal) family affair. The tiny tot’s extended family turned out en masse for the momentous occasion, including, of course, her famously photogenic aunt, Pippa Middleton.

Middleton's adorable baby bump was on full display in the pink overcoat, and Wills' leading lady appeared to be in great spirits as she mingled with members of the Royal Commonwealth society during the annual event. And if the pearl button-adorned coat looks familiar to you, that's because the 33-year-old brunette...

Princess Kate began a week of royal outings Monday when she stepped out for a special church service. She and husband Prince William were back at Westminster Abbey, the scene of their 2011 wedding, for a special observance in celebration of the Commonwealth, which Queen Elizabeth II heads. The Commonwealth, a union of 53 nations, some of which have the queen, 88, as head of state, is dear to the heart of the monarch. So it was especially poignant that she invited William and Kate to the service, which was also attended by William's father Prince Charles, 66, and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.

Kate Middleton and Prince William were joined by Prince Charles; Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall; Queen Elizabeth II; and Prince Philip for the Observance for Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey in London on Monday. Kate, who is reportedly due to give birth to the couple's second child next month, covered her baby bump in a pale pink Alexander McQueen coat and festive hat by Jane Taylor. True to form, Kate has been seen in the chic maternity ensemble before; she sported the same look at the Trooping the Colour parade in 2013, when she was expecting Prince George! Each year, the Observance aims to "celebrate the unity, diversity and linkages of the modern Commonwealth" and to give attention to the Commonwealth's achievements, especially among young people. This year, the theme is "A Young Commonwealth" and focuses on the contributions of people 25 and under. The event typically includes a multifaith celebration consisting of readings,...

Oopsy daisy!

She’s been laid up with hyperemesis gravidarum (acute morning sickness) for the past few months, but pregnant Kate Middleton put on a brave face as she welcomed President of Singapore Tony Tan Keng Yam with her husband Prince William today (October 21) in London.

The Duchess of Cambridge definitely wasn’t her usual chipper self, however it was impressive that she was able to attend the event, held at Buckingham Palace.

Kate opted for a subtle-yet-stylish grey Alexander McQueen coat dress with a Jane Taylor hat as she accompanied the Duke of Cambridge to welcome President Tan and his wife Mary at the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington on behalf of the Queen before moving to the Palace for the official state visit ceremony.

Kate Middleton, Prince William and Prince Harry paid their respects to fallen World War I heroes Monday during a special lights-out ceremony at the Saint Symphorien Military Cemetery in Mons, Belgium. A series of events throughout the day, which happened to be the 100th anniversary of the date Great Britain declared war on Germany, served to memorialize those soldiers who lost their lives. At one point, Kate, who wowed in a creamy white Alexander McQueen dress, off-white Jane Taylor hat and her beloved nude L.K. Bennett pumps, placed a bouquet of flowers on a tomb in tribute to those lives lost. She later took a tour of the cemetery with British Prime Minister David Cameron by her side.

The people of England prayed for a savior to reinvent the royal family, and they got one in the form of Kate Middleton. Well, they got one to up the ante in the clothing department, at least. The Duchess of Cambridge has never looked more future-queen-like than she does in this tailored Alexander McQueen look. Yes, the cut and color are more traditional than some of her fun and flirty looks, but that's exactly what makes the finished product so totally crown-worthy. Nothing says wife-to-the-king quite like a perfectly fashioned fascinator. This Jane Taylor design fits Prince George's mum perfectly, and the slighly deeper color is a nice choice. But it's the sleek shape on this McQueen coat that...

Celebrating Easter in the Land Down Under, Kate Middleton arrived for church services at St Andrew's Cathedral in Sydney, Australia today (April 20).

Gorgeous in a grey Alexander Mc Queen coat and a Jane Taylor hat, the Duchess complemented the choir members post service, calling their music "lovely."

Kate singled out the choir's youngest member 6-year-old Freddie Cobb, telling him "I had my eye on you right through the service. You were wonderful!"

Earlier in the day, the the royal couple toured the Taronga Zoo with their son Prince George, who stole the show with his enthusiasm.

Prince George couldn't contain his excitement during the baby's first Easter Sunday celebration at the Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia. Dressed casually in a blue striped polo and shorts, the little royal looked in awe at George, the bilby, a rabbit-like creature who is his namesake, as Kate Middleton and Prince William took turns doting on him. Donning a yellow dress, the duchess tried her best to hold George back from the endangered animal's enclosure while still letting him score a close-up view. The cutest moment came when Will tried to calm George with a sweet kiss on his head. Even before the family created adorable memories at the park, the zoo already held a special meaning for the royals: when George was born last July, Australia's government made a donation in his honor to fund the zoo's efforts to preserve and restore wildlife. Nearly nine months later, the bilby enclosure was named after him!

Prince William and Duchess Catherine stepped out to celebrate Easter in Sydney, Australia on Sunday, and the royal couple looked as dashing as ever.

The Duchess, 32, stunned in a dove gray Alexander McQueen coat and gray fascinator by Jane Taylor, while William wore a navy suit and a pink tie as the pair arrived at St. Andrew's Cathedral.

The elegant couple sat in the front row for the service, which was attended by approximately 800 people.

Prince William and Kate Middleton are making the most of the hectic royal tour schedule this weekend, bringing their infectious energy to everything from sporting events to church. On Sunday, the couple popped up at the rugby stadium in Dunedin, New Zealand, where they cheered on children playing a game of Rippa Rugby, a noncontact version of the sport.

The Duchess is on a divine style roll — and she’s showing off her favorite designers in the process! Just a day after debuting her stunning look for Prince George’s christening, she made yet another breathtaking appearance — can you believe she gave birth a mere three months ago?

I must admit that when it comes to Kate Middleton‘s style, she can do no wrong in my book — and that’s partially due to the fact that we share an affinity for lovely British designer Jenny Packham and her feminine creations. Kate stepped out on Oct. 24 in London for the 100 Women In Hedge Funds Gala Dinner in Aid of Action on Addiction where she opted for an ethereal, off-the-shoulder ink blue, silk tulle gown from Jenny Packham’s Fall 2013 collection. The dress, which featured a velvet belt, also had a lower neckline than we’re used to seeing on...

The son of Kate Middleton and Prince William took part in his first royal event as he was christened at St. James's Palace in London in front of an intimate group of royals and family friends. While the christening is traditionally a private, family affair, we've gathered up details about the landmark event for the future King of England. The Godparents The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge announced the seven - yes, seven - godparents for Prince George just a few hours before their son's christening.

Something tells us the Middleton sisters may have done a bit of coordinating for Prince George's christening. At the ceremony in London on Wednesday not only did Kate Middleton opt for a cream Alexander Mcqueen coat dress that matched her three-month-old son's iconic gown but her younger sibling Pippa Middleton also showed up in the exact same shade and an nearly identical outfit. Both ladies also donned matching floral fascinators but Pippa's was designed by Edwina Ibbotson while Kate's was a Jane Taylor creation. And while Pippa was indeed wearing a British designer—just like the new mom—she went with a Trapeze coat and Paris dress specially created by Suzannah Crabb. It should...

We're beyond positive she didn't mean to but let's be honest: Kate Middleton has stolen the spotlight once again (Sorry, Prince George!). At the royal christening ceremony Wednesday at St. James Palace chapel in London, the Duchess of Cambridge was the picture of elegance in an ruffled Alexander McQueen jacket. The cream ensemble closely matched the color of the wee Prince's own robe. Kate's look, however, came with a matching Jane Taylor fascinator—one of her favorite accessories.

Lightly jiggled in his father's arms, the 3-month-old looked slightly perplexed at the attention as his parents, Prince William and Kate, greeted clergy at the doors of the baby's special christening service.
