Singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright joins Jo, to read an extract of Chekov's 'The Lady & The Dog' for Storytime and performs tracks from his new album Unfollow The Rules for his Sofa Session.

The release of Rufus' 9th studio album Unfollow The Rules is postponed until July 10th, because of production delays relating to COVID-19.

鈥淲hat I would like this album to symbolize is a coming together of all the aspects of my life which have made me a seasoned artist,鈥� says Wainwright. 鈥淢y aim is to emulate the greats of yore whose second acts produced their finest work 鈥� Leonard Cohen when he made THE FUTURE, when Sinatra became Sinatra in his 40s, when Paul Simon put out GRACELAND. Pop music isn鈥檛 always about your waistline. Many songwriters improve with age. I鈥檓 flying the flag for staying alive!鈥�

Plus James King's unmissable FILM FOMOs.
