Entertainment news today mixed nostalgia, controversy and spectacle. Northern Ireland is mourning beloved comedian Jimmy Cricket, who has died at 80 after a short illness, prompting tributes to a performer who became a familiar television face in the 1980s and whose family said his final days were filled with love, laughter and song. At the BBC, veteran presenter Tony Livesey is leaving Radio 5 Live after 16 years, following a period away from air amid allegations connected to his former boss David Sullivan. In a far lighter moment, Zac Brown Band turned a sold-out Fenway Park show into a headline-grabbing giveaway, surprising roughly 37,000 fans with free cruise trips to celebrate the group’s 15th consecutive sellout at the venue. And in one of the day’s stranger stories, a camel tour on Broome’s Cable Beach ended with two riders injured after being bucked off.
