Beverley Knight: Losing My Best Friend At The Worst Moment Of My Career & How I Found New Purpose!

What happens when the dream you built your life around begins to fall apart? In this episode of Begin Again, singer, actress, and British soul icon Beverley Knight opens up about the moments that shaped her life, her career, and her purpose. Beverley reflects on the faith, music, resilience, and family foundations that made her who she is. Beverley shares the truth behind her journey through the music industry, including the backlash she faced when she refused to stay in one lane. After years of success, how it felt being judged, dismissed, and slowly pushed aside by parts of the industry that once celebrated her. But even in the face of rejection, Beverley kept going. This conversation explores one of the most painful chapters of Beverley’s life: losing her best friend Tyrone to HIV. Beverley speaks movingly about their bond, the grief of watching him die, and how his activism inspired her to continue fighting for LGBTQ+ rights and visibility. His loss became her purpose. She opens up about reinvention, and the career pivot to musical theatre became a new beginning, leading to acclaimed West End roles, Olivier nominations, and a second life on stage.She shares how she almost lost everything to an illness that led to a hysterectomy. At its heart, this is a conversation about purpose and refusing to let other people define your ending. Beverley Knight is proof that sometimes the moment people think you are finished is actually the moment you begin again. 🌟 Follow for more honest conversations about identity, growth, and beginning again.

MP Caroline Nokes, Beverley Knight, Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai

Last week, Caroline Nokes, former minister, Conservative MP and the chair of the Women and Equalities Committee - accused the Prime Minister's father of groping her 18 years ago at a Conservative Party Conference. Stanley Johnson has so far declined to comment on the allegation, saying he has no recollection of it. Caroline talks to Emma. ‘The Drifters Girl’ is a musical which tells the story of Faye Treadwell, one of the first Black women to manage a vocal group in the US. Singer and actor Beverley Knight plays Faye and joins Emma to discuss this remarkable woman. Peng Shuai is one of China's top tennis players, but there are global concerns over her safety after she accused the former Chinese vice-premier, Zhang Gaoli, of raping her in 2018. We talk to Cindy Yu Broadcast Editor at The Spectator. Have you ever been affected by persistent, unexplained pain in your vulva? Vulvodynia is a chronic condition that is thought to affect up to 16% of women. Emma is joined by Claudia Chisari, a PHD researcher in Vulvodynia at King’s College London and Sheren Gaulbert, who suffered from Vulvodynia for 10 years. Joan Rhodes could bend steel bars , lift two men at a time, and rip phone books apart. Often described in the press as the strongest woman in the world, she became friends with Marlene Dietrich and even performed for the Royal Household at their Annual Christmas bash. Triona Holden got to know her before she died, and has written her biography ‘An Iron Girl in a Velvet Glove: The Life of Joan Rhodes.

Plus, hear some deeply personal stories of how things like age, race, disability, and weight all intersect with self worth from Beverley Knight, Jono Lancaster, Adele Roberts, and Emily Ratajkowski.

Beverley Knight

Getting older is something to be celebrated. Queen of British Soul, West End star, and Olivier winner Beverley Knight is celebrating turning 50 by releasing new music, and is clear that life has only continued to get better as she’s become more confident in her own skin over the years. In this chat, Fearne and Beverley talk about the importance of celebrating artistic expression, and why it’s freeing not to care what other people think about how we dress. Plus, Beverley describes the moment her body gave her a clear signal that she needed to slow down for her own physical and mental wellbeing. Beverley’s album, The Fifth Chapter, is out September 29th. Beverley will be on tour in the UK during October and November, get your tickets here: https://www.beverleyknight.com/live-events Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
