The Mercury prize-winner said ‘quite severe’ bleed was why he’d missed support slots with Mumford & Sons earlier this year The British singer-songwriter Michael Kiwanuka has said he has suffered a stroke and faces a “long tough journey” on the road to recovery.

Does Airtel Money mark the end of London’s listing drought? Not yet | Nils Pratley
The biggest flotation in five years was a bit of a shoo-in. Let’s see what happens when overseas competition is tougher Indian billionaire’s payments firm plots biggest London flotation in years A win is a win, but we should probably contain our excitement about the biggest flotation in London for five years . Airtel Money, a payments processor that operates in 13 African countries and should be worth between £6bn and £7bn, is a welcome addition to the stock market but it would be a stretch to say the event marks a definitive change in the weather to end the listings drought. Why? Because, in a sense, Airtel Money is already here. It is a 78%-owned subsidiary of Airtel Africa, an established FTSE 100 firm with a market value of £11.3bn ultimately controlled by Bharti Enterprises under the Indian billionaire Sunil Bharti Mittal , also known for his 25% stake in BT.

‘We live in a world of extreme consumption and waste’: Magali Reus, the artist reimagining rubbish
Making vast versions of sardine tins and fishing lures, the Dutch sculptor explains how she imbues disposable objects with autonomy and meaning Midway through my conversation with Magali Reus, we are interrupted by a courier. They’ve arrived at the artist’s studio to deliver an important package – one of the final components of a sculpture being finalised for Reus’s show Swimming By Night at the Perimeter in London. The studio is filled with such sculptures, all in various stages of completion. Reus likes to take everyday, often disposable, items – pizza boxes and sardine tins among them – and recreate them on a larger-than-life scale. One of them – vast looming fish hook lures made to look like uncanny cupcake cases or severed skeletal limbs – looms nearby, resting against a studio wall. Continue reading...

Fire in My Mouth review – Wolfe’s multimedia oratorio tells its tragic story with focus and power
Royal Festival Hall, London Marin Alsop, the Philharmonia and three outstanding choirs gave the London premiere of Wolfe’s work about the deaths of 146 workers in a New York garment factory fire in 1911 On Saturday 25 March, 1911, Greenwich Village’s Triangle Shirtwaist Factory caught fire. One hundred and forty-six garment workers – mostly recent Jewish and Italian immigrant women – died, many prevented from escaping the flames by stairwells and exits locked by the management. The disaster is the catalyst for Pulitzer-winning composer Julia Wolfe’s 2019 multimedia oratorio Fire in My Mouth : the third in her series of large-scale works drawing on the history of the American worker, and a punchy opener to the Southbank Centre’s autumn season.

The Complex by Karan Mahajan review – a superb family saga set in Delhi
At once a grand sweep through history and a domestic novel of petty differences, this tale of corruption and betrayal is packed with drama We learn about the murder of the Chopra clan’s shifty, crude, charismatic patriarch Laxman in the opening pages of The Complex. Twenty-five years have passed, but the stain on this once-respectable Punjabi family remains. The man who did it, Laxman’s nephew Brij, has served his jail time and is about to be released. Some relatives think Brij is too dangerous, too shameful to return to the family home, but his son Mohit decides the pair will live together – and rewinds the clock to tell the story of the decades leading up to the crime. Karan Mahajan’s warmly received first two works, Family Planning and The Association of Small Bombs , explored individual lives alongside larger forces – urban development in the former, a car bomb’s traumatic aftermath in the latter. His excellent third novel has Delhi at its heart, but also visits Indian villages and cities, the American midwest and London, its short chapters flitting between different members of the Chopra family. You start by nodding in appreciation at Mahajan’s observant character portraits; before you know it you’re waist-deep in frustration, corruption and betrayal, as the book ranges through politics, faith, migration, infidelity and entrepreneurship.
