Went to a game of football on Sunday with a couple of friends. It was

Brilliance, everything, everywhere, in white.⚡️🌟

I can understand why Guadiola rates Bielsa as the greatest manager. They are playing football as it should be played - like Liverpool-but on no budget. Watching how brilliantly the players have developed over the year and a half is all you can ask. Congratulations

What a wonderful day for the UK. Change is coming. I’m sure it won’t be as much as we hope for, there is so much work to be done and we are impatient fuckers, but it will be a start. 🌈💜
Most bands do a theatre set of the same songs each night in the same order. James change it up each night from an arsenal of a 100 songs. That's how we generate our passion. If you come see us live- try to let go of hearing your particular favorite or disappointment will follow.
My wife’s Father, my beloved Father-in-law, was amongst the 6,159 covid 19 deaths in the UK on Sunday. He came off the ventilator and past within 15 minutes. We who love him, who are many, are blown open with love and grief; of course. His equally..
Hey Folks,
Because of you, Yummy is the number one album this week.🩵🩵🩵🥳🥳🥳
Thank you so much. Your passion and love continually drives us on to reach for the stars, whilst staying planted on the Earth.
Long may it continue. Nothing but love.
Happy new year everybody. May 2024 be more grounded than the thin ice of 2023. Celebrate and appreciate every beautiful moment and surrender to those that aren’t.🩵🩵🩵🩵
Tonight I will raise my glass to my beautiful friend, the Bad Angel, Angelo Badalamenti. He taught me many things but primarily how to Enjoy the recording process. We laughed from the beginning to the end of the record we made together, never had a disagreement. I love him.
Hey beautiful people, I’m going to withdraw from Twitter for a few weeks to focus on writing. Stay well and don't start any pandemics or new end of the world scenarios without me. NBL
#TerryCooper
died yesterday. The first footballer I loved as a kid . Inspired by him I ended up playing in his position (🤦♀️). Inspirational team player. God speed.
@LUFC
I like
@VictorOrta_
having a sarcastic swing back. He's slagged off for when players don't work out -shit happens at every club- underappreciated for the ones that do. Those kids coming through are his. Bielsa his work. Appreciate him while he's here
@LUFC
Feels like a new dawn to trumpet a celebratory tour, a week after the first news of hope. Soo looking forward to seeing you. We're playing with the brilliant Happy Mondays. Last played with them in 1988, hopefully this time they won’t steal our rider or try and spike my drink..."
Our prayers go out to My massivly loved Father-in- law Saville Shela. He’s in
#watfordgeneral
They took him off a ventilator this morning- and told us to prepare for the worst. He’s back on one now so I’m assuming their oxygen shortage has been replenished. ❤️to the nurses.
Crazy fun last night in the rain in Halifax. We were ordered off stage, as it’s the law to get people off a metal structure, after lightning had struck the nearby church tower. Came back on, played extra time and hits to balance out your discomfort. NBL
Another fantastic night with
@coldplay
. Honoured to hear them say we have inspired them -what they have created is magical. I have only previously witnessed
@springsteen
fill a stadium with such heart and connection. Unity/community is the antidote to the tribalism destroying us.
I haven’t been able to post for a week -I’ve been in Brazil – where Twitter has been banned until
@elonmusk
to meets some of the laws of their land concerning hate speech. Wish more countries would follow the lead. Social media companies need to be held accountable for toxicity.
no gigs for a long while now...
I want to thank everybody who came this year.
The bulk of the tickets for next years Arena show have sold faster than any show we have ever put on sale.
We are humbled and deeply appreciative by your continuous love of the band.
I'm going to do a Facebook live session Thursday at 8pm UK time /12 pm LA time - technology willing. Playing acoustic songs with my brilliant neighbor Joel Shearer and taking some questions. ❤️
Just had a deep two hour acupuncture session to go along side western medicine. Having another tomorrow with
@mikeymikeywong
- feeling more positive and hopefull for RAH.
First time crowd surfing in many months. A damaged ligament has been holding me back. Thanks for looking after me, Liverpool. Especially those who put away their phones to catch me with two hands.🙏🏻
I understand the appeal of filming it but it prevents me from going in sometimes.
Great to see Anti-Racists coming out on the streets in peaceful protests. We are bigger than them - in all ways.
The EDL are a terrorist organization -literally spreading terror to those who don’t share their skin color.
Time to lance the boil and the demagogues who inflame.

@wearejames

@Happy_Mondays
- tickets available from 9:30am Friday 20 November!
Had a fantastic time playing with
@coldplay
tonight. Generous big hearted band who made the Etiad feel like an intimate community. Nothing but love.
PS. it was someone else who pulled out of the show earlier in the week.
We have aproximately three types of fans.1.Diehards from the 90s determined to experience the hits of their youth. 2. New fans who just want to hear new songs. 3 over 80%/90% of our audience who get we won't settle for karaoke over living art. We are clear on our path
Happy 2018 to everybody- change is coming - invite it in and buckle up. Wishing you a great ride and the ability to surrender to the direction life is leading you. NBL
Thank you everyone for your beautiful kind words. Its been a tough week! My wife and her Mum are doing amazingly well, flowing with grief, love and humour. Nothing but love. x
@LUFC
Congratulations to
@VictorOrta_
@andrearadri
and team of
#LUFC
for a generally brilliant transfer window, overall unsurpassed in my memory. Appreciate the whole picture not the Clickbait drama of the transfer window, 90% of which is bullshit. The team's looking great. 🙏
How loved is this man
#JurgenKlopp
. He would be an inspirational leader even if playing tiddlywinks. Hope he finds what he's looking for 🙏
Love to all
@LFC
. You have a great foundation.
A new release out today from
@wearejames
and their seventeenth studio album, Be Opened By The Wonderful.
A celebration of 40 years of the band by re-imagining some of their top songs with an orchestra and choir, with a new song included, Love Make A Fool.
Cannot wait for this!
Leaving Lisbon way to early after taking some (legal) drugs and brilliant bodywork to restore my voice, had an amazing gig!
The singing voice takes a while to recover from lockdown and lack of use. looking forward to returning to Mares Vivas in the summer fully powered.NBL
Classic James t-shirts launching at 6pm today, Monday 13th February!
We have an exciting number of plans to celebrate our 40th year, one of which is reissuing some of the classic design t shirts from over the years 👕
@RealTimBooth
I know this song means a lot to you. And to my four-year-old, who dialled it up on Alexa unprompted and had a good old sing-song. Cheered a very miserable COVID-lockdown day....
In the time that we knew them, all of
@theSmiths
were sweethearts. Kind, passionate musicians always supportive and positive. Our love and gratitude goes out to Andy and his family.
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Andy Rourke after a lengthy illness with pancreatic cancer.
Andy will be remembered as a kind and beautiful soul by those who knew him and as a supremely gifted musician by music fans.
We request privacy at this sad time
Sang my last lyric on the new CD yesterday - and felt bereft!
So much has gone into this one and i feel sad to have finished such a beautiful process.
Please Don't ask me when its coming out- 2018 for sure.
Oh, and for those who keep the score.
The album is number three in the charts this week.
So glad you are all enjoying it, especially the emotionality of response to so many varied tracks.
Nothing but love to you all.

I wish to be straight with you. We live in a time where bands do multiple formats to get a good chart position in the first week. The position affects how we can tour, which countries we can visit, keeping a nine piece together etc. So we have to compete to survive.
We are witnessing the conseques of 4 years of incitement by a white power fascist on the foundations of centuries of white supremacy. Can you imagine the authorities reaction if these were BLM protesters? I believe these events will become a very positive wake up call
Saw the Buzzcocks 4 times. Most memorably in Leeds when Pete caused a riot by wearing a Man United T-shirt. Gareth, their burly ex-bass player, stepped into the throng wielding his bass guitar over as head like a syche . Brave, idiosyncratic bloody-minded Mancs. RIP Pete Shelley.
