Swiss musician To Athena has performed inside a cave in a melting glacier to highlight accelerating ice loss in the Alps. Scientists say the Morteratsch glacier is shrinking by around 50 metres a year, with the cave itself unlikely to survive another summer as temperatures rise.

DELTA Goodrem’s first album in half a decade is just around the corner.
The Australian singer, 41, has opened up to The Sun about the project – admitting fans won’t have long to wait.
Chatting ahead of a surprise pop set in Camden, London with Australian chocolatey biscuit Tim Tam, Delta said: “I have finished the new album.
“When Eurovision came up I was in the studio already as it was naturally time to create the new album.
“I am doing a new video next week when I am back in Aus again for the next song.
“That will be straight out the gate and the new album will be there straight away.”
The record, her eighth, will be Delta’s first since 2021’s Bridge over Troubled Dreams.
During her north London set, Delta performed her Eurovision track Eclipse for the first time in the UK.
The Born To Try singer will represent Australia next month at this year’s contest in Vienna, Austria.
Previously speaking to The Sun, Delta admitted while she’s toyed with the idea of doing Eurovision for a few years, it wasn’t until she opened up about her dreams to Bizarre last May that things really started taking shape.
Delta said: “This is, literally verbatim, all your fault. It is all on you — Bizarre started this.
“Your article went back to the Aussies who were like, ‘Do you want to do this?’ So thank you. I have a big job to do.”
Delta will head to Vienna this May to compete with her song Eclipse and it ticks every box, with an infectiously camp chorus and a complex piano bridge.
A beaming Delta explained: “From your article, people started reaching out.
“Then one of the songwriters, Jonas Myrin, who I wrote the song with, took a screengrab of the article and sent it to me saying, ‘Delta, if you ever go to Eurovision, I want to write the song with you’.
“He’s in Sweden. Sure enough he flew to Australia when I said I was doing it.
“Even the first question I got asked when doing my first Australian interview was, ‘We heard it all started from an article from the UK,’ and yes, it did.”
It’s been three years since Australia last qualified for the live final, which adds to the pressure on Delta, who has sold eight million records worldwide.
Delta added: “Of course I am nervous, but it’s so joyous and I am so excited to be a part of it.”
AN ICONIC noughties star looked unrecognisable to many as he took to the stage during this weekend’s Estero Picnic Festival in Columbia.
Over two decades since his initial rise to fame, the now 52-year-old musician looks a far cry from the twenty-something many fans remember.
Do you recognise him?
The singer in question in Travis frontman Fran Healy!
Known for hits such as Why Does It Always Rain On Me? and Sing, Travis dominated the music scene in the late nineties and early noughties.
Lead singer Fran has swapped the bright red hair he rocked a few years ago for a bleached look, donning a sky blue jumper as he joined numerous stars in fronting the Columbian festival this weekend.
Alongside his Travis bandmates, Dougie Payne, Andy Dunlop and Neil Primrose, Fran took to the festival’s Smirnoff stage to perform to the waiting crowds on Sunday.
The three-day festival also saw Sabrina Carpenter, Tyler The Creator, Swedish House Mafia and The Killers perform.
Alongside their own set on Sunday, Travis joined The Killers on stage to perform with them on Saturday.
Born in Stafford, Fran was raised in Glasgow and formed Travis back in 1991 while studying at the Glasgow School of Art.
Still going strong, the band are performing across Chile this month and next, with gigs in Viña del Mar, Frutillar and Santiago.
While the band have taken breaks throughout their lengthy career, they are famous for having never split up.
Their tenth studio album, L.A Times, was released in 2024.
Fran was in a relationship with German photographer Nora Kryst for 23 years before splitting back in 2019.
They share a 20-year-old son named Clay.
Last year, during one of Travis’ US gigs, Fran was rushed off stage and to the hospital after twisting his ankle on stage.
At the time, Fran took to Instagram to explain that he was wheeled out on a gurney and put into an ambulance.
Admitting that he thought he’d broken his ankle, the musician confirmed it was simply a “gnarly sprain”.
