Prince Harry and Elton John feel their phones were tapped and personal information was taken, and now they're joining up to sue a major news organization they believe is responsible, despite the fact that the organization categorically denies the allegations.
The Duke and the British rock star are part of a group of plaintiffs suing Associated Newspapers, alleging that the company behind the Daily Mail and other publications employed investigators to place listening devices in people's homes and vehicles and paid police officers to dig up sensitive information.
Reportedly, the group also accuses the Daily Mail's publisher of eavesdropping on phone conversations, impersonating hospital workers to gain access to medical records, and acquiring unauthorized access to bank accounts and cash.
A spokeswoman for the firm stated that they are categorically and categorically disputing these ridiculous charges, which appear to be nothing more than a pre-planned and concerted attempt to draw the Mail titles into the phone hacking crisis involving items up to 30 years ago.
The representative added that Tthese unfounded and extremely defamatory charges appear to be nothing more than a fishing expedition by claimants and their attorneys, some of whom have already pursued suits elsewhere.
Other alleged defendants include Elton John's husband and producer David Furnish, Elizabeth Hurley, Sadie Frost, and Baroness Doreen Lawrence, the mother of an infamously slain Black British adolescent. According to a statement, the organization seeks to expose the truth and hold journalists accountable.
Meanwhile, Britney Spears and Elton John's music video for "Hold Me Closer" is a vibrant, nearly four-minute-long compilation of interpretive dance sequences. It was released just a week ago.
However, neither Spears nor John appear on this album. The music video was directed by Tanu Muino, who also directed Harry Styles' "As It Was" and Lil Nas X's "Montero" in addition to a number of other notable pop music videos from the past two years.
As stated in the video's official press release, the music video begins in Mexico City with dancers dressed in vibrant blue and yellow garbs who move fluidly as a reflection of human embrace, beautifully capturing an incalculable feeling of intimacy sorely lacking in the world due to recent turmoil and chaos.
