Calvin Harris has said one of his chickens has been “murdered” by his neighbour’s “grimy dogs”.
The superstar DJ, 41, reposted an old picture with his cockerel, Smokey, on his farm in Ibiza - sharing the sad news he had died.
“RIP Smokey we love you,” Calvin’s post read. “Raised this lad from a chick to a majestic cockerel.”
He went on to say it has been “murdered “by a neighbour’s “grimy dogs.”
He ended the post by saying he was “absolutely gutted”.
The picture with Smokey was only posted in May, and Calvin used it to promote his new single, Blessings.
Last week, Calvin shared that his wife, Vick Hope, had given birth.
He shared the news on Instagram, posting a heartwarming series of photos marking the birth. “20th of July our boy arrived. Micah is here!” he wrote.
“My wife is a superhero and I am in complete awe of her primal wisdom! Just so grateful. We love you so much Micah.” Among the images was a touching photo of the new dad lounging on an outdoor sofa cradling his newborn.
Other pictures captured intimate moments from the birth itself, including Vick in a candlelit birthing pool with scenic views, and Calvin holding their son in his arms shortly after delivery.
In a more unconventional moment, the One Kiss hitmaker also revealed that the couple had chosen to have Vick’s placenta made into capsules, sharing a photo of the preparation process.
Celebrity friends and fans commented on the post, with TV presenter Laura Whitmore writing: “Congrats to you both! Enjoy the magic x”, while singer Pixie Lott added: “OMG congrats Vick and Calvin!!!! So lovely.”
Vick Hope, 35, who began presenting BBC’s Countryfile earlier this year, had confirmed her pregnancy earlier this year, debuting her growing baby bump at one of Calvin’s Ibiza shows.
The couple, who began dating in January 2022 and tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony in 2023, have largely kept their relationship out of the spotlight.
However, they’ve occasionally shared glimpses into their idyllic life together at their sprawling organic farm in Ibiza.
The 138-acre estate, known as Terra Masia, produces fruit, vegetables, eggs and wine and reflects Harris’s evolution from globetrotting EDM superstar to nature-loving landowner.
