Big Zuu: ‘Music and cooking make me feel euphoric’

Living in temporary housing as a kid gave me character and hunger. We moved all over London: Victoria, Battersea, Swiss Cottage and Kilburn. Growing up that way made me hate the government, but I also appreciated the system for giving us a home. It’s a weird feeling. I come from a massive family. My dad is one of five, and Mum has 13 siblings; my grandad was busy. I’m from Sierra Leone, where we have lots of kids, and most of our relatives still...

Tony Bennett, suave singer of I Left My Heart in San Francisco whose career spanned 70 years – obituary

Tony Bennett, who has died aged 96, sang as much with his heart as his voice.
