Rebekah Devlin is the News Ltd entertainment editor-at-large.
She has been a journo for 11 years and has been writing entertainment for six years. However she has been surrounded by music her whole life – especially The Beatles, which her father used to play on the record player as loud as the speakers would let him.
Her first solo concert was New Kids on the Block – don’t judge her, it was the 90s.
