MASON GREENWOOD is pining for a return to England — putting a string of Prem clubs on red alert
The forward, 23, left Manchester United for £26.6million last summer and signed a five-year deal with Marseille in the south of France
He has scored 19 goals in 33 appearances for the Ligue 1 side
But he has faced repeated criticism from manager Roberto De Zerbi and was dropped in March for a perceived lack of work-rate
Greenwood — who had charges of attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour dropped in February 2023 — is yearning for a return to the UK with partner Harriet Robson and their two young daughters
He signed for Marseille following a successful spell in Spain with Getafe
BED HUNTER How Man Utd & Spurs fans can avoid paying £1,000 a night on hotel for Euro finalAnd a source revealed: “When Mason first left United he loved Spain.
“He and Harriet moved to Madrid and rebuilt their lives.
“He loved the fact he could just play football and his life off the pitch was not the subject of such intense focus.
“He was really happy to sign for Marseille and loved living in France.
“But he’s been abroad for nearly two years and the novelty has worn off
“Mason’s family visit but he is very introverted and misses his extended family and the friends he has from home
“A move back to the North West could suit him as he feels the vitriol he previously faced has died down a bit and people may have moved on.”
Former Brighton boss De Zerbi dropped Greenwood and criticised his work-rate
Marseille’s Ultras have also unfurled a banner in the stands during games, urging him to “Get a move on”

Manchester United’s hopes of generating additional income from their clause in Mason Greenwood’s Marseille contract are growing amid claims the forward is pushing for a shock return to the Premier League and with two factors forcing his exit from the Ligue 1 giants
The 23-year-old has been forced to rebuild his life and his professional career overseas, after Manchester United decided it was best to move him despite charges of attempted rape and assault being dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service and the case discontinued in February 2023
the Red Devils decided to sell Greenwood to Marseille last summer for a fee of £26.6m (€31.6m
though the move did present United with a big-money cut of any future deal
To that end, United secured the rights to obtain a further 50% share of any profit Marseille make from their initial Greenwood signing – potentially adding millions to Ruben Amorim’s transfer kitty somewhere down the line
Now reports of a move away from Marseille are starting to gather pace
with Greenwood both unsettled in the south of France and with Marseille’s ultras making their feelings clear on his performances
And now reports in both France and England claim that the Bradford-born attacker is ‘pining for a return to England – putting a string of Prem clubs on red alert’
A source also told The Sun that Greenwood is hoping that the “vitriol he previously faced has died down a bit and people may have moved on” with the “novelty” of living in France wearing off
The source continued: “When Mason first left United he loved Spain
He and Harriet moved to Madrid and rebuilt their lives
“He loved the fact that he could just play football
and his life off the pitch was not the subject of such intense focus
“He was really happy to sign for Marseille and loved living in France
but he is very introverted and misses his extended family and the friends he has from home
“A move back to the North West could suit him as he feels the vitriol he previously faced has died down a bit

Reports in France go on to explain that Marseille’s supporters
a group of hardcore ones are known as Ultras
have made it clear what they think of Greenwood’s efforts in recent weeks
despite the fact his numbers speak for themself and Greenwood has managed 19 goals and five assists from 34 appearances so far
His cause has not been helped by OM boss Roberto de Zerbi
who insists the forward must “sacrifice” more for the team to make himself one of the best
after recently dropping him from his starting line-up
De Zerbi said: “No one can have more respect for him than I do
But that doesn’t change anything: I expect more from him
because what he is currently showing is not enough
“If he wants to achieve his ambition of becoming a champion
While The Sun refuses to name a particular club he could end up at
there are only a handful of Premier League sides who sit within the boundaries of what their stipulation that Greenwood ‘wants to return to the North West’
Aston Villa – an 85-mile commute down the M6
or Wolves (74 miles away) could emerge as options were the player be willing to commute
Or there could be Premier League newcomers
who also sit with the radius of clubs who could potentially bring him in
And while such a move looks highly unlikely to say the least
their chairman Paraag Marathe has vowed to spend whatever it takes and as much as they can within the boundaries of the game to give Leeds a fighting chance of survival in the Premier League
Meanwhile, United midfielder Mason Mount has strongly criticised the team’s performance against Brentford
while head coach Ruben Amorim is in despair over the injury to Matthijs de Ligt
Elsewhere, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed his bafflement at why United decided to sell a top midfielder last summer
However, rumours that Arsenal are in contact to sign a player Amorim has already decided is not part of his Man Utd plans have been quickly cleared up with the player’s preferred next destination now coming to light
And finally, United are reportedly close to launching an official offer to sign a top-notch Brazilian midfielder with Amorim’s plans to pair him up with Manuel Ugarte in the engine room now coming to light
Mason Greenwood received mixed reviews for his performance in Marseille’s draw with Lille

Last year, Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood sparked controversy when he defended his ongoing collaboration with Israeli musician Dudu Tassa
The pair had two concerts scheduled in the UK for next month
and both have been canceled amidst the BDS Movement
Greenwood and Tassa performed in Tel Aviv almost a year ago
Sanctions movement to accuse Greenwood of “artwashing genocide” by playing a show in Israel while the country’s military committed genocide against the Palestinian population
In his statement at the time, Greenwood wrote that “silencing Israeli artists for being born Jewish in Israel doesn’t seem like any way to reach an understanding between the two sides of this apparently endless conflict.” He and Tassa have not yet commented on the new cancelations, but the BDS Movement reacted on their Instagram:
Jonny Greenwood and Dudu Tassa’s show at Hackney Church has also been cancelled
Palestinians welcome the cancellation of both of their UK shows
We reiterate our call for all venues to refuse to programme this complicit event that can only artwash genocide
Greenwood and Tassa were slated to play the Bristol Beacon on June 23 and London’s Hackney Church on June 25. The cancelations were confirmed on the event pages

criminal lawyer and playwright after illness in her home city of Melbourne
Australian author Kerry Greenwood, best known for her Phryne Fisher murder mystery novels, has died at the age of 70 after an illness.
She was given “a suitably royal send-off” at a small service in Melbourne’s Yarraville on Sunday, according to her partner, writer David Greagg.
Greenwood, who lived in nearby Seddon, died on 26 March. Greagg, posting on Greenwood’s official facebook page on Monday, said he had refrained from making a public announcement until after the service.
“Kerry was an extremely private person and had no wish to share her pain with anyone,” he wrote. He said her “condition had deteriorated to the point where I could not keep her at home any longer”.
“The end was mercifully quick thereafter.”

Greenwood started writing fiction as a child
and wrote her first book as a teenager – a fantasy novel titled The Magic Stone
She later studied English and law at the University of Melbourne
and worked as a criminal defence lawyer for Victorian Legal Aid for more than two decades
Her enthusiasm for justice and writing bore literary fruit

Greenwood was given the Ned Kelly Lifetime Achievement Award

Photograph: Publicity imageGreenwood was a prolific writer whose output included plays, award-winning children’s books and nonfiction, including the 1996 essay collection Things She Loves: Why Women Kill.
Even after her writing career took off in the 1990s, Greenwood continued to work as a locum solicitor. At her funeral service on Sunday, her brother said, “The quest for justice is what drove her.”
While Greenwood’s publisher said her writing had slowed in recent years due to poor health, she was still writing until recently, posting on Facebook on 18 March about the newest Phryne Fisher book, due out later this year.
“Murder in the Cathedral is undergoing transformation from an extensively edited Word file into proper pages. This is a slow process, involving mysterious alchemy, scattering of rose petals, muttered incantations and the like, but it progresses,” she wrote.

Kerry had two burning ambitions in life: to be a Legal Aid solicitor and defend the poor and voiceless; and to be a famous author
When summoned to Government House to receive her Medal of the Order of Australia in 2020
it was made clear that this award was for writing books
They have sold well over a million copies and have been translated into a dozen languages
Her detective Phryne Fisher is her best-known character
Kerry also won renown for her series centred on baker–detective Corinna Chapman
as well as several YA books dealing with Australian history
“The central core of her heart was her passion for justice.”
Kerry accepted an offer from Every Cloud Productions to dramatise Phryne for television
Deb Cox and Fiona Eagger consulted her frequently and later described how helpful she was to deal with
wherein everyone worked hard to make a period piece to remember
But the central core of her heart was her passion for justice
The only time Kerry was ever at a loss for words was when an impertinent man accused her of waxing fat on the profits of crime
she appeared one day a week in Sunshine Magistrates’ Court for what was essentially petrol money
The cost to the public purse for her brilliant advocacy was about six dollars per client
One of the best tributes to her is on her Facebook page
where one of the police prosecutors praised her work
police officers and magistrates all came to trust and esteem her

What this meant in practice was that when she was faced with a genuinely deserving hard-luck story
and had given her client the Paddington-style Hard Stare to weed out the mendacious
she would push out the boat beyond the breakwater
and her client would be reprieved from prison
Very few advocates are granted such an opportunity and it was only because Kerry’s given word was ironclad
Many a young law student watched her advocacy open-mouthed
realising that it was possible for a woman to succeed in this brutally hard profession
The Victoria Police gave due recognition of this late in her life by awarding her an honorary police officer’s badge
Kerry experienced tremendous difficulty articulating the word “no”; in consequence
she supported just about every charity going

The last word on her vocation may be left to her lifelong friend Mark
whose words at the funeral are a clarion-call to all of us:

as seekers after justice are all too often discounted
we can maybe see the counsel of the Rabbi Tarfon: ‘It is not incumbent upon you to complete the task

Former Man Utd striker Mason Greenwood is eyeing up a return to the Premier League in the summer transfer window
The Red Devils sold the Englishman to French side Marseille last summer in a deal worth an initial £26.6m after a successful loan spell at Getafe last season
Greenwood signed a five-year contract at the Ligue 1 side and has been largely successful with four assists and 18 goals in 31 league appearances for Marseille
But the Man Utd academy product was dropped for two games in a row in March with Marseille boss Roberto de Zerbi insisting that the striker must “sacrifice” more
De Zerbi said: “No one can have more respect for him than I do
“If he wants to achieve his ambition of becoming a champion
sacrifice more and be more determined.”
the 23-year-old was suspended by the Red Devils on January 30
2022 over allegations relating to a young woman after images and videos were posted online
He faced charges including attempted rape and assault
but the Crown Prosecution Service announced in February 2023 that the case had been discontinued
And now The Sun newspaper claim that former Man Utd striker Greenwood is ‘pining for a return to England — putting a string of Prem clubs on red alert’
A source has revealed that Greenwood is hoping that the “vitriol he previously faced has died down a bit and people may have moved on” with the “novelty” of living in France wearing off
The source close to the situation told The Sun: “When Mason first left United he loved Spain
“He loved the fact he could just play football and his life off the pitch was not the subject of such intense focus
“He was really happy to sign for Marseille and loved living in France
But he’s been abroad for nearly two years and the novelty has worn off
“Mason’s family visit but he is very introverted and misses his extended family and the friends he has from home
“A move back to the North West could suit him as he feels the vitriol he previously faced has died down a bit and people may have moved on.”

Watching Miss Fisher on film at the Sun Theatre in Yarraville in 2020, at an event organised by Sisters in Crime Australia
seated next to Kerry and surrounded by her fans
Kerry died last week after suffering ill health for a number of years
The tributes are beginning to flow in from across the world from her many fans and followers
She has left us a great legacy in the form of her many books and our memories of the author herself
In 1989, I had the pleasure of meeting with Kerry shortly after the publication of Cocaine Blues
the first in what would come to be the Phryne Fisher series
I well remember suggesting that it would make a great period crime drama
Kerry and I first met in Mietta’s restaurant
where we sat at a small table in an elegant art deco bar
how she had been trying to write a novel about highwaymen
but had been persuaded by her then publishers
She had at some point written a thesis about the strikes on the Melbourne wharfs in 1928 and 1929
and had read every newspaper she could find
so she already had the perfect historical backdrop for a crime novel set in the period
The idea for Miss Fisher came to her on the tram going home
When it was later suggested that her charming female action hero might bear some similarity to the Saint or James Bond, Kerry trenchantly responded with the comment that Phryne “had fewer product endorsements and a better class of lovers”
Kerry was always a stylish writer and Cocaine Blues opens with brief first paragraph that does not waste time in getting the story moving:
Over the general exclamation could be heard the shrill shriek of Madame St Clair
It was with great glee that Kerry informed me that Madame St Clair’s exclamation was a direct steal from The Adventures of Tintin
as created by the Belgian comic artist Hergé
at our next meeting Kerry presented me with her French edition of Les Bijoux de La Castafiore (The Castafiore Emerald)
The anecdote reveals not only the eclectic range of Kerry’s sources (and the fact that she read French and was something of a polymath)
in her care for the waifs and strays that she encounters
not forgetting that Kerry was a barrister who worked full-time as a criminal defence lawyer for Legal Aid
there were relatively few Australian crime writers being published
The crime writing scene now is very different
Carmel Shute from the Australian chapter of Sisters in Crime informed me that over 150 crime fiction and true crime books by women will be published in Australia in 2025
It is testimony to the increasing popularity of a literary form which women have embraced as a way to tell the stories that matter to them
Quite a few of those books sit within what has often been characterised as the “cosy” genre: a subgenre of crime fiction to which Kerry’s crime fiction certainly belongs
compared to the kind of “gritty” crime fiction that wins accolades
This has obscured the achievement of crime fiction such as Kerry’s
in which historical and contemporary social issues are reflected back to us in ways that give us pause
even as they are presented in a form designed to entertain
This is Kerry’s legacy: a wealth of entertainment with a heart
Her novels are provocations to care about social justice
even as her creativity will continue to inspire
Correction: an earlier version of this article mistakenly stated that the Sisters in Crime Australia screening was in 2022

The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel tweeted that the first cancellation that the event would have whitewashed the “genocide” of Gaza and the “underlying settler-colonial apartheid regime”
Greenwood wrote last year amid controversy over the pair’s Israel dates: “I’ve been collaborating with Dudu and releasing music with him since 2008 – and working privately long before that
I think an artistic project that combines Arab and Jewish musicians is worthwhile
And one that reminds everyone that the Jewish cultural roots in countries like Iraq and Yemen go back for thousands of years
no art is as ‘important’ as stopping all the death and suffering around us
And silencing Israeli artists for being born Jewish in Israel doesn’t seem like any way to reach an understanding between the two sides of this apparently endless conflict.”

Mason Greenwood has seen his latest strike for Marseille now given as an own goal
meaning he still trails Didier Drogba in the record books
Former Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood is “desperate to return” to England
The 23-year-old moved to the south of France from Manchester last summer after United agreed a £26.6million fee with Olympique de Marseille to part ways with their academy product on a permanent basis
He signed a five-year deal with the Phocéens
Greenwood has notched 18 goals and five assists
Only Paris Saint-Germain talisman Ousmane Dembele has scored more than the Marseille youngster in France’s top flight this season
there appeared to be some tension between him and Roberto De Zerbi
But such is his talent that the Italian manager has once again made him a key part of his side
Despite impressing in France, Greenwood, however, is “pining for a return” to England, writes The Sun
The outlet claims Greenwood is “yearning for a return to the UK” with his family after enjoying his time in Spain at Getafe and France at Marseille
A source revealed to The Sun: “He’s been abroad for nearly two years and the novelty has worn off
Mason’s family visit but he is very introverted and misses his extended family and the friends he has from home
“A move back to the North West could suit him as he feels the vitriol he previously faced has died down a bit and people may have moved on.”
Greenwood’s desire has reportedly put a string of Premier League clubs on “red alert”
Recently, The Peoples Person relayed a report claiming Liverpool are interested in Greenwood
Considering the circumstances that led to his departure from Old Trafford
it’s fair to assume United are unlikely to hand him an opportunity to return to the Premier League
they would certainly keep an eye on his situation as the Mancunians included a 50 per cent sell-on clause in their agreement with Marseille
His return to the country may also split opinion among the United fanbase

This year’s 12th edition of the Scary Movies festival at Film at Lincoln Center premiered Ari Aster’s extended version of “Midsommar” this past Saturday
There’s clearly some major reshuffling going on when it comes to Maggie Gyllenhaal’s “The Bride,” and I’ll get to the other stuff in a minute
it looks like Johnny Greenwood (“There Will Be Blood”) will no longer be composing the score for Gyllenhaal’s semi-musical
but one who is sadly coming off last year’s “Joker: Folie à Deux.”
No reason seems to have been given for Greenwood’s departure, but it’s just the latest development in what’s been a tumultuous last few months for Gyllenhaal’s film. This film can’t catch a break, but don’t tell that to Warner co-CEO Pam Abdy, who recently blamed the bad buzz on sexism
I recently flagged that “The Bride!” wasn’t exactly killing it in test screenings
and Puck confirmed my reporting soon after
while also scratching their heads over how exactly Gyllenhaal
whose directorial résumé includes precisely one movie
managed to convince Warners to bankroll her $100 million gothic musical passion project
is reportedly struggling to strike the right balance
Abdy was apparently tasked to try to whip the movie into shape
and word is she’s having a hard time of it
“The Lost Daughter,” was a critical darling and nabbed her a Venice screenplay award
she was expected to bring “The Bride!” to Venice this fall
but then Warners delayed its October release to a more suspicious March 2026 unveiling
and Jake Gyllenhaal—and it’s loosely riffing on Bride of Frankenstein (1935)

announced her death on Monday following a private funeral last weekend
The author of the popular Miss Fisher Murder Mystery series which was later adapted for television
Greagg said Greenwood emulated her writing hero PG Wodehouse by offering consolation and joy to those who needed it
that was her real life’s work,” said Greagg
adding that Greenwood’s writing was deliberately at odds with her working class upbringing in Footscray
something that sometimes confounded critics
“Kerry was frequently advised that as a working-class writer she ought to be writing gritty realism about life on those mean streets
Why are you writing in the footsteps of Sayers and PG Wodehouse instead?”
Greenwood studied law at Melbourne University and went on to become a long serving lawyer with Victorian Legal Aid before finding great success with her first Phryne Fisher book
She went on to write another 22 Phryne Fisher books
as well as the Corinna Chapman series about a crime solving baker and a number of non-fiction books
In 2003 she won the Ned Kelly Award for crime writing
lifetime contribution and was awarded an OAM in 2020
All the while Greenwood continued to working as a lawyer
avoided mixing her legal work with her writing
“She did not want to write about her court cases because (a) they were private
and she thought it improper to steal their stories
and (b) my readers really don’t want to know about some of my cases because they’re too awful for words,” said Greagg
who added that her belief in equality before the law was just as strong as providing an escape for her readers
“She only stopped doing her court work when her health had deteriorated to the point that she could barely stand up in court any more.”
Yarraville’s Sun Bookstore hosted many of Greenwood’s book launches and has set up a special tribute in its front window
“I just wanted to say “Kerry I love you I miss you” said owner Deb Force of the tribute

Now working as a development coach under Damien Hardwick at the Gold Coast Suns, the sportsman is selling the five-bedroom home at 16 Hannah Pascoe Drive he lived in with wife Kjiersten Straub-Greenwood and their children before moving north
Nelson Alexander’s David Vaughan is handling the sale of the home
which has a $1.38m-$1.5m asking price and is slated for auction at 10am
Mr Vaughan said with 14 families inspecting the home in the space of its first week and a half on the market
and strong interest in the advertised range
it was possible the home would sell sooner

The Melbourne-based Greenwood died last month at the age of 70
with her death announced by her partner on Monday
Greenwood’s legacy will always live on in the spitfire feminist icon that is Phryne
crime-fighting adventures have appeared in print since 1989 but found worldwide fame when the stories were adapted as the ABC TV series Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries

There was an antipodean pride that, in those pre-Bluey days, a character born in Collingwood had penetrated the culture internationally, and based on cool not cringe.
It ran for three seasons, followed by a sequel movie released into cinemas, and considering the limited budgets of Australian TV productions, it looked great, full of period details for its 1920s setting, especially Phryne’s lush costumes.

Credit: METHODEIn Essie Davis’s performance, Phryne was dynamic and smart, and never backed down from a fight that needed to be litigated, and guided by a her empathy and clear sense of social justice. She was hot and cool, and could navigate the docks as well as the front parlours of Toorak mansions.
No doubt the series was a hit and one of Australia’s most memorable shows of the 2010s, but all that spark had been in Greenwood’s books.
Spanning 22 novels and one short story collection, Phryne made her debut in the 1989 book, Cocaine Blues.
The year is 1928, which is, of course, conveniently just before the Wall Street crash and the onset of the Great Depression, and The Honourable Phryne Fisher returns to Melbourne from England.
Phryne wasn’t born rich, anything but, but her father inherited an estate after the line of succession was decimated during the First World War, which transported the Melbourne clan to polite society on the other side of the globe.
After proving adept at recovering a stolen diamond necklace, Phryne was engaged by a well-to-do couple concerned about their daughter’s well-being in Australia.
Docking in Melbourne, Phryne checks into the Windsor Hotel, and eventually buys a Victorian house in St Kilda. As a nod to Arthur Conan Doyle, the house number is 221B.
Murder in Montparnasse is the 12th book in the Phryne Fisher series. Credit: Rod Moran/AllenCollecting a tribe of friends and staff – companion Dot, butler and cook Mr and Mrs Butler, the red raggers Bert and Cec, adopted daughters Ruth and Jane, sometime-lover Lin Chung, doctor Elizabeth Macmillan, detective inspector Jack Robinson and constable Hugh Collins – Phryne is set to conquer the world of crime, shocking some, saving more and always being only herself.
The books take her everywhere her 1923 Hispano-Suiza will go, and sometimes a Gypsy Moth plane which she, of course, can fly.
Each book is structured on a different story – Murder on the Ballarat Train recalls the twisty mind of Agatha Christie, Raisins and Almonds takes readers inside the Jewish intellectual community, Death Before Wicket travels to Sydney while Death by Water takes to the seas on a P&O cruise.
There are mysteries at the nunnery, at a fabulous, blow-out New Year’s Eve party and even in the idyllic surrounds of Daylesford. One case was connected to Phryne’s past in Paris where she had been an artist’s model in the heady days after the war where she had joined an ambulance unit.
Greenwood’s books didn’t reinvent in the genre, the writer followed the tropes established by her forebears such as Christie, but she did create a character that was very much distinct, one who could waltz onto any case but who felt as if she was essential in every scenario.
Phryne was brave and didn’t care a lick for convention and social expectation, and that was her attraction. She eschewed so-called moral codes of the era and was famously promiscuous, judging harshly those who would impose their puritanism on others.
Phryne had no more respect for established institutions than she did for the people they oppressed. She had thoroughly modern views on everything from capitalism to abortion rights.
Before her death, Greenwood posted on Facebook that there was a new Phryne book in the works, to be called Murder in the Cathedral, which is reportedly due out later this year.
One last adventure with a true Australian icon.

WAXED: GET YOUR MUSIC PRESSED ON VINYL FOR FREE
words by taran dugal
if you’re a fan of turn-of-the-century rock
there’s a very good chance that his music has been either the a) object of your worship
He has been nominated for twenty Grammy Awards; he has won six of them
His records have sold tens of millions of copies across the world
a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
stems from two simple facts: 1) he is a bassist
and 2) bassists almost never get their dues
Greenwood is not just any bassist—he happens to play bass in a band called Radiohead
and thank you for being here) Radiohead is a seminal rock band from England that has
in the course of their thirty-plus-year career
it is simply true—just give their third studio album OK Computer a listen
and try to name another musical act that was writing and recording material like that before the new millennium stumbled into frame
Marching to the beat of their own peculiar drum
the members of Radiohead have changed the landscape of rock music in more ways than one
Greenwood and I met up in Manhattan to talk about everything but that
which features his intimate photos of the other band members
the book also contains a ten-thousand-word essay about his life in Radiohead
anti-immigration riots in England (“a lot of the main media newspapers have sort of stirred the pot over the past twenty years… I don't think it's a simple case of like
stupid white males“) to his recent reads (Janet Malcolm
historian Keith Thomas) and his bandmates’ camera shyness (“Except for my brother
who's this shameless hussy and will drop everything for the chance to pose before a lens
it'd be easier photographing some sort of endangered woodland species
I'd have to be some kind of weird paparazzi
covered in camouflage for about three or four days
Greenwood is an effervescent conversationalist when it comes to the things that he’s passionate about
and the depth of his knowledge on those subjects is impressive
it’s clear that what might be a leisurely pursuit for most hobbyists is
Greenwood is a student of the art—he tells me that he's “not talented enough to be someone like Nick Knight,” who “photographs what he wants to see,” and that he’s “much more in the Garry Winogrand camp,” which means “taking photos to find something that you haven’t expected.” As far as How to Disappear is concerned
this kind of analytical approach extends itself to his writing
when he sat down to create the “discursive commentary” accompanying his images
he turned to Janet Malcolm’s Diana & Nikon for inspiration
“I was thinking that it would help me,” he recalls
“but all the brilliance of her writing did was stop me in my tracks.” Though Greenwood is humble about his own capabilities with the pen
the essay in his book speaks for itself with unembellished
Take the following excerpt about music festivals
There’s a sense of something pre-electric and almost primeval
especially if you are playing as the sun dips down
Time passes differently in the flow of music – it slows down and you can pick out the stars in the settling twilight as you stream sound and light across an open field of faces
freed from the ringing metallic echo of an arena’s reverberation
but I’ll be damned if that isn’t evocative
Greenwood’s essays in How to Disappear feature some of the best music writing by an actual musician that I’ve yet to encounter
though Jeff Buckley’s liner notes for Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s The Supreme Collection
When both my and Greenwood’s cups run empty
and he agrees with all the enthusiasm of a kid being asked if they would perhaps like to stop by the ice cream parlor on the way home
I ask him if he thinks he might have pursued photography full-time
had he not ended up in such a successful band
“I think I would probably be doing something academic
writing-wise.” The truth of this sentiment is imminently obvious once we reach our destination
Greenwood wanders over to the non-fiction section and starts pointing at spines
most brilliant books about the Belgian Congo.” Another point
this time in the poetry corner: “That’s a great one—Ed Dorn
I had to study his poetry in school.” Greenwood closes his eyes
and guesses the opening words of a favorite verse (“Summer was dry
dry the garden…”) before flipping open the pages to see if he’d recited it correctly
we march out of the bookstore with a select few titles in tow
I walk Greenwood toward the nearest subway station and we exchange a happy goodbye
vibrant throng of pedestrian traffic on East Houston—a singular individual swallowed by the urban singularity—I’m reminded of something he’d mentioned in the café
when I’d asked about the purpose of his new book
to tell the story of “how something that starts in a small room explodes
proliferates and arcs out across the world
and how something that's so interior—whether it's Thom songwriting or the five of us in a room—can become mapped out onto such a broad sweep of people.” I’d responded with a question that was meant to be rhetorical: that’s the great thing about music
People can have these experiences that are communal and solitary at the same time

Manchester City and England defender Alex Greenwood faces an extended spell on the sidelines following "successful" surgery for a medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury
Greenwood is now a doubt for England's upcoming Nations League and Euro 2025 campaigns after sustaining the knee injury in City's 2-0 win over St. Pölten in the Champions League

The defender has since undergone a repair of her MCL and will now return to the City Football Academy to work closely with the club's medical team
Everyone at Manchester City would like to wish Alex a full and speedy recovery."
City also fell to a 3-0 defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League
falling short of finishing the group stage at the top of Group D
Greenwood wrote on social media: "Not the ending to 2024 that I had planned
I will work so hard to be back on the pitch as soon as I can
for now I'm going to take some time to myself & family who always give their time to me."

Greenwood first came to the AFL when he joined Adelaide as a category B rookie in 2015 after a successful college basketball career with the University of New Mexico
and went on to play 51 games for the Crows
including the 2017 Grand Final in just his 15th AFL game
Joining Gold Coast in the 2019 trade period
Greenwood’s two seasons for the Suns saw him add 32 games to his career tally
He arrived at North Melbourne at the end of 2021 when the club acquired the experienced midfielder as a free agent
Greenwood played 38 games for the Roos over three seasons
the 32-year-old switched from the No.18 guernsey to No.1
which he has previously worn at the Crows and Suns as a tribute to mother
Andree (Onny) who passed away in 2017 after a lengthy battle with breast cancer
Greenwood has been a dedicated ambassador for the Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) since 2018
Greenwood has been a driver of BCNA fundraising efforts at each of his three AFL clubs
raising awareness and his sincere support and advocacy to BCNA in honour of his late mother
All who know him struck by the depth of his commitment
General manager of football Todd Viney paid tribute to Greenwood for his service to the game and the Kangaroos
"Hughie has been a real leader on and off the field during his time here," Viney said
"At each of his clubs he has been revered for his work ethic
"It’s a credit to him that he will leave the game knowing he has impacted so many of his teammates along the way
and children Tahj and Titus all the best in the next phase of their lives."
Greenwood wanted to thank some of those who helped him in his AFL journey:
"Thank you to the Adelaide Footy Club for taking a chance on me and allowing me to fulfill my AFL dream
"Thanks also to the Suns for your belief in me and helping me find my best footy
and thank you to North Melbourne for providing an environment that my family and I loved playing for and raising a family around
thanks for embracing me and allowing me to be myself each and every day
and kids Titus and Tahj for all your love and support over the years
we selfishly think we sacrifice so much to do what we do
but it doesn’t compare to the amount of sacrifices you have made for me over the journey in allowing me to live my AFL dream
"For a basketballer that still can’t run or still can’t kick
to be sitting here almost 10 years on and over 100 AFL games later
"I walk away knowing I squeezed absolutely everything out of myself on the field
and also hope I was able to impact the community in a positive and lasting way
I’m excited and ready for my next chapter in life."

Two planned UK performances by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead and Israeli musician Dudu Tassa have been canceled
with no official statement issued by the venues or artists
scheduled for June at the Beacon in Bristol and Hackney Church in London
were part of a longstanding artistic collaboration between Greenwood and Tassa that began over a decade ago
While the reason for the cancellations has not been disclosed
the events had been targeted by the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI)
which described the scheduled performances as efforts to whitewash what it called the “genocide” in Gaza and the “underlying settler-colonial apartheid regime.”
“We reiterate our call for all venues to refuse to program this complicit event that can only artwash genocide,” the movement wrote in a post on X
Greenwood and Tassa have been collaborating and releasing music since 2008 and have continued to perform together despite pressure on Greenwood to cancel his shows with Tassa
Last June, Greenwood refused pressure from BDS to cancel his tour with Tassa
and criticized their call as “unprogressive”
“I think an artistic project that combines Arab and Jewish musicians is worthwhile
“Others choose to believe this kind of project is unjustifiable and are urging the silence of this – or any – artistic effort made by Israeli Jews
But I can’t join that call: The silencing of Israeli filmmakers/musicians/dancers when their work tours abroad – especially when it’s at the urging of their fellow western filmmakers/musicians/artists – feels unprogressive to me
not least because it’s these people that are invariably the most progressive members of any society,” he added
The guitarist pointed out that Tassa’s grandfather was perhaps the best-known Iraqi composer
and was one of the legendary Al Kuwaity brothers whose songs are still featured on Arab-wide radio stations
“though sadly their heritage as Jews is never mentioned any longer,” he said
“No art is as 'important' as stopping all the death and suffering around us
And silencing Israeli artists for being born Jewish in Israel doesn't seem like any way to reach an understanding between the two sides of this apparently endless conflict."
BDS has long urged musicians to call off shows in Israel or cancel collaborations with Israeli artists
While a number of politically active musicians have heeded to the pressure
a range of others have rejected the boycott call
In 2017, before a Radiohead concert in Tel Aviv, dozens of artists, including notorious anti-Israel activist Roger Waters, sent a letter to the band urging its to cancel the concert in order to “pressure Israel to end its violation of basic rights and international law.”
Thom Yorke, the band’s frontman, fired back at the boycott calls, calling them “an extraordinary waste of energy”. The band went ahead with the Tel Aviv show

HUGH Greenwood has retired from the AFL after 121 senior games at three clubs
turned to football at the age of 23 and was signed by Adelaide at the end of the 2015 season
He played 51 games in three seasons at the Crows
included their 2017 Grand Final loss to Richmond
before requesting a trade to Gold Coast at the end of 2019
WHO'S CALLED IT QUITS 2024's retirements and delistings
He played 32 games in two seasons at the Suns
with his stint there impacted by a serious knee injury
At the end of 2021, the Suns delisted Greenwood with the intention of re-drafting him. But while he was delisted, North Melbourne swooped in and signed him to a two-year deal in a move that shocked the competition
He went on to play 38 senior games for the Kangaroos
"For a basketballer that still can't run or still can't kick
fills me with such pride and gratitude," Greenwood said as he paid tribute to his teammates and his young family
North coach Alastair Clarkson praised Greenwood while acknowledging the 32-year-old's opportunities were limited this year as the club looks to get experience into its younger players
"He's been a great stalwart of our footy club," Clarkson said
"I think if you spoke to anyone at Adelaide
two beautiful little kids and he's been so good for the development of the young guys at the footy club
he probably saw the writing on the wall a little bit that his opportunities were going to be a little bit limited on that basis so he's moving on to the next stage of his life
"But we thank him enormously for the contribution he's made to this club and I'm sure Gold Coast and Adelaide would acknowledge the contribution he made to their clubs as well."
