AFTER weeks of speculation I can confirm Harry Styles is finally making his music comeback this month.
Insiders told me the former One Direction singer will drop the lead single for his long-awaited third album in the coming weeks.

Harry was seen a couple of weeks ago parading around on a giant bed along The Mall outside Buckingham Palace as he filmed the music video for the track.
I can also reveal that Harry has recorded another out-of-this-world segment for the promo away from prying eyes.
A music source said: “Harry’s lead single is coming this month and his fans are in for a real treat.
“He has worked so hard on this track and it’s going straight to No1.
“The video is going to be just as good as the song. While fans might think they have seen it all, Harry actually saved the best bit for behind closed doors.
“The fashion and the features in the secret shoot for the video are incredible,

“Harry really pushes the boat out. He is absolutely thrilled with what they have created and can’t wait for people to hear the song and see the video.”
I revealed last year how Harry had hit the studio with Amy Allen, one of the songwriters behind hit Adore You, for the new record.
This album will be his first since 2019’s Fine Line, which earned him a Brit Award.
The record also spawned his mega-hit Watermelon Sugar, which landed Harry his first ever Grammy.
In June Harry will make history by becoming the first X Factor contestant to headline Wembley Arena.
He will play two shows at the 90,000 capacity venue, following in the footsteps of superstars Ed Sheeran and Adele.
Harry has also carved out a role in the Marvel franchise, after his character Eros was revealed in a post credit scene in last year’s Eternals film.
Director Chloe Zhao said the singer was the only person he wanted for the part.
She said: “I kept tabs on Harry since his role in Dunkirk. After meeting him I saw he is that character. There’s so much of Eros in him.”
At this rate Harry’s feet aren’t going to be touching the ground for a long time.
Hailey’s a booty
HAILEY Bieber shakes her booties as she heads to a party during Paris Fashion Week.

Hailey turned up the glamour in this vintage Gucci pink dress which she teamed with a pair of Naked Wolfe’s in-demand Spice boots.
She flew to Europe after celebrating husband Justin’s 28th birthday.
Hailey paid tribute to the singer on his big day and shared a series of Instagram posts which showed some never-before-seen snaps of the pair.
Alongside the pictures, Hailey wrote in tribute to Justin: “There are a lot of amazing and beautiful things about this life, but the most beautiful part is that I get to live it with you.”
Bandit get that Topic-al taste again
TOP producer Topic has had a string of hits including Breaking Me with A7S, My Heart Goes with Becky Hill and Chain My Heart with Bebe Rexha.
And after working with Clean Bandit on smash hit Drive with Wes Nelson last year, he is teaming up with them again for another special collaboration.

In an exclusive interview he revealed they were working on a new track with James Arthur.
Topic explained: “I did a track last year with Clean Bandit and we all clicked so well.
“And for a year I’ve had this song on my computer and we thought, ‘This is the perfect song for them’.
“So I played it to them and they loved it and together we both said the only person who could sing it was James Arthur.
“We have only recorded a first version of it and we will keep working on it over the coming weeks and months.”
I’m really looking forward to hearing it.
Camila can
THERE are only some people in this world who can get away with having a photoshoot in a grubby toilet cubicle – and Camila Cabello is one of them.
The Havana singer shared this shot from a night out with her pals where she was celebrating the release of her new single Bam Bam.

Camila teamed up with my favourite Ed Sheeran on the track, where she opened up about her split with Shawn Mendes.
She sings: “We were kids at the start/I guess we’re grown-ups now/Couldn’t ever imagine even having doubts/But not everything works out.”
Looking at Camila in this snap, I bet Shawn is wishing it did.
Vamps quash split fears
THE VAMPS have revealed they are all planning solo careers, but insist they aren’t splitting up as they gear up for their tenth anniversary.
The group – Brad Simpson, James McVey, Connor Ball and Tristan Evans – are kicking off the celebrations with their own festival, the Pollen Weekender, in Barcelona from May 6-9, although they have been working on solo music too.

In an exclusive chat, James explained: “Connor has already released stuff with his band The Lunar Year, which is cool.
“It’s really important that for us, there’s no personal issues or animosity with anything anyone is doing.
“It’s not like a power struggle for musical satisfaction, kudos or credibility.
“There’s a strong Vamps strategy and alongside that there will be other things. The last thing we want fans to think is that we are divided and hate each other. It’s not like that.
“Things will come from probably all of us I imagine at some point, in various ways.”
Brad added: “We are all working on separate things.
“We’re all into different types of music so it’s nice to explore those different avenues and I actually think that’s going to be really interesting when we come back to writing.”
The Pollen Weekender will see them play several shows and allow fans to join them for other activities including a cocktail masterclass, brunch and a boat party along with other artists including Dougie Poynter and Sigala.
But before that they will have to nurse Connor back to full health after he cut his leg while taking part in last week’s Dancing On Ice.
They aren’t worried about him though. Tristan added: “I’ve spent a lot of time with Connor in clubs.
“I know what his moves were like before, but now I’m afraid to go to a club with him because he’s going to show me up.
“We’re so proud of him. It’s just an awesome thing to see him dance like that on ice.
“It’s so difficult and he’s smashed it.”
Home help for Roman
HIS telly documentary Our Silent Emergency helped people across the nation talk about mental health and the stigma surrounding it.
And now Roman Kemp has revealed that the BBC show didn’t just prove an aid to viewers – making it taught him how to come to terms with his friend Joe Lyons taking his own life in August 2020.

Roman said: “I hated Joe for a good two to three months after. That’s trauma. Everyone goes through trauma in different stages and I had that and I didn’t want that any more.”
He added to Vogue Williams as part of Boots presents Taboo Talk podcast: “I wanted to fall in love with my pal again. After doing (the documentary) I did.”
Roman’s dad, actor and Spandau Ballet singer Martin Kemp, was on the show too and added: “When Ro was making that documentary I was worried for him.
“If I make a heavy drama I know I will take some of that home with me, and that’s how it makes you feel.
“I was really worried for Ro that he would bring that heaviness of the drama into his own being and end up depressed from it.
“Ro says I shouldn’t speak for him, but he says it was like therapy for him in the end.”

JORJA Smith will perform at the inaugural Letsgetfr.ee Carnaval alongside artists including Missy Elliott and Wizkid.
