But, away from the television cameras and the fabulous parties, there hid a lonely, frightened young woman. Caroline was already a rising star when she shot to fame as the presenter of Love Island. With her beauty and her effervescent personality, she was perfect for the role and soon the show was drawing 6 million viewers. Yet, behind the scenes her love life was chaotic. She dated Prince Harry, Harry Styles and Russell Brand before finding love with tennis player Lewis Burton. Her world came crashing down on the night Lewis called 999 to report Caroline was attacking him. Police found Caroline hysterical and the couple covered in blood. Just as it seemed life could not be any worse Caroline was fired by ITV and barred by the courts from contacting Lewis. In this extraordinary and revealing book, Emily Herbert talks with friends and celebrities to reveal the heartbreaking true story of how this beautiful woman crashed from the pinnacle of fame and success to a lonely and tragic death.

Download or read book Music Cities written by Christina Ballico and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-12 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a critical academic evaluation of the ‘music city’ as a form of urban cultural policy that has been keenly adopted in policy circles across the globe, but which as yet has only been subject to limited empirical and conceptual interrogation. With a particular focus on heritage, planning, tourism and regulatory measures, this book explores how local geographical, social and economic contexts and particularities shape the nature of music city policies (or lack thereof) in particular cities. The book broadens academic interrogation of music cities to include cities as diverse as San Francisco, Liverpool, Chennai, Havana, San Juan, Birmingham and Southampton. Contributors include both academic and professional practitioners and, consequently, this book represents one of the most diverse attempts yet to critically engage with music cities as a global cultural policy concept.
