Robert De Niro’s grandson Leandro’s cause of death has been confirmed over a month after he passed away aged just 19. New York City’s chief medical examiner published the results, which confirmed Leandro died in an accidental overdose from the toxic effects of a series of drugs including cocaine and fentanyl. His mother, Drena, has previously shared her suspicions that he had taken pills laced with fentanyl. At the time of his grandson’s death, Robert released a statement saying that he was deeply distressed, and requesting privacy to grieve the loss. We’re thinking of Robert and his family at this sad time.

Jay-Z’s Made in America festival, which would have marked Lizzo’s first performance since being sued by three of her former dancers, has been cancelled. It was due to take place in September in Philadelphia, with the cancellation being down to “severe circumstances outside of production control”. The festival’s update comes amid the news that Lizzo is being sued for allegations of assault, workplace misconduct and inappropriate sexual behaviour, which she has denied, claiming that the allegations are as unbelievable as they sound.
