Spain's prosecutor accuses singer Shakira of tax fraud
Spanish prosecutors filed charges against Colombian singer Shakira on Friday, accusing her of failing to pay 14.5 million euros in tax ($16.3 million) in the country where her Spanish footballer partner plays. The charges were filed in the Catalonia region, where the singer is a regular presence at matches of her partner Gerard Pique's team, Barcelona. She was accused of failing to pay tax on income earned from 2012-2014, when the prosecutors say she lived there.
Grammy Award-winning singer Nancy Wilson dies at 81
Grammy award-winning singer Nancy Wilson, whose hits ranged from R&B to jazz and funk, died at her California home at age 81 on Thursday after a long illness, her publicist said. Wilson, who came to fame as a torch singer in the 1960s, called herself a "song-stylist" and resisted labeling as a jazz singer for most of her career since she could cross many genres.
