Ed Sheeran helped to pay for some of the medical treatment that late Wanted star Tom Parker received during his time battling brain cancer.Parker told fans in October, 2020 that he had been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour, and after 18 months of fighting the disease, he died this past March.“It is with the heaviest of hearts that we confirm Tom passed away peacefully earlier today with all of his family by his side,” the singer’s wife, Kelsey, wrote in a post on her Instagram page.In his posthumous autobiography, Hope, which is due to be released on May 26, Parker reveals that Sheeran helped pay for some of his medical bills while undergoing treatment for the cancer.“Pretty much from the moment I was diagnosed, Ed Sheeran reached out to me with an offer to do anything he could to help,” Parker writes in excerpts from the book which were published by The Sun today (May 14).Parker goes on to call Sheeran “a very special man” and adds that the ‘Shape Of You’ hitmaker will “probably be mad” that he’s revealing how he “helped out” with his medical bills when Parker was seeking other treatment options alongside private immunotherapy.“He didn’t need to do any of that, but my wife Kelsey and I are so grateful to him for his support. It meant the world,” Parker writes in his upcoming book.At the time of Parker’s passing, Sheeran paid tribute on Instagram writing: “So sad to hear of Tom’s passing.
Six ways to lower your energy bills during warmer weather
25.04.2022 - 13:23 / dailyrecord.co.uk
The recent spell of good weather means most people will have reduced the amount of time their heating has been on and taken advantage of the higher temperatures to dry clothes on the washing line, rather than using a tumble dryer or popping them on an airer in front of a radiator.
While these are great for helping reduce energy usage and hopefully keep gas and electricity costs down, it’s important to remember that every household is still paying a daily standing charge, which they can’t influence as this is set by their supplier.
However, there are some steps everyone can take as temperatures get warmer that could help keep additional costs to a minimum.
The team at www.onlinemoneyadvisor.co.uk have outlined six simple, cost-effective tips to try to help everyone lower their energy bills over the coming months.
A large proportion of the money you spend on your energy bills goes towards heating your home.
With summer just around the corner and the weather gradually getting warmer, many people will keep their heating on for shorter amounts of time, lower the temperature or switch it off completely - especially as the cost of living continues to rise.
Turning your heating down, even by just one degree, will really make a difference if you stick to it all year-round, helping you shave potentially hundreds of pounds off your annual energy bill.
Adjusting the temperature on your fridge/freezer is a simple and cost-effective tip for saving energy in your home, that many people easily overlook or forget to carry out.
Your fridge should ideally be kept at a temperature of about 3-5 degrees celsius, while your freezer should be set around -18 degrees celsius in order to work optimally and without using unnecessary amounts of energy.
