They’d met in 1995 when both joined the sketch show institution Saturday Night Live – he was a performer, she was a writer. She’d defended his talents from those who doubted him, then wrote many of his best sketches, and together they’d go on to collaborate on a number of movies, from Casa de mi Padre to Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga. And, now, she had something very important to say: at the age of 61, she is ready to tell him – and the world – that she is trans. Later, she’d name herself Harper Steele.

All are from the period 1888-90, after the painter moved to Arles, in the south of France, and before he moved back to Auvers-sur-Oise, on the outskirts of Paris, in the few brief months before his death, aged 37, in July 1890, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Many were painted during the year the artist spent in an asylum at Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, outside Arles. Taken together, they represent the great flowering of Van Gogh’s genius, and there are several acknowledged masterpieces here.

Legend’s work – all nine albums of the stuff – has made him synonymous with a particular kind of syrupy, lovestruck easy listening. A lazy Sunday morning? Throw on “Ordinary People”. First dance at your wedding? What about “All of You”? But he’s also a bit more interesting than that: a man with opinions and stances, who speaks eloquently and passionately about politics, misogyny and social justice. There are more facets still when one considers his eclectic CV (which would definitely take up more than the requisite two pages): songwriting, record producing, film producing, theatre directing and acting are all on the roll-call of accomplishments. He played the piano for Lauryn Hill and sang on Jay-Z and Alicia Keys tracks before his solo career took off; he’s dabbled in pop and funk, as well as his “home” genre of R&B; he’s even done the ubiquitous Christmas album and produced a Broadway show. Now, he’s aiming to conquer the world of children’s music.
