An editing error led us to say that John Lennon’s Grow Old With Me was released in November 1980; that is when the song was recorded but it was not released until 1984 (“How a TV baseball movie inspired late Lennon love song”, 4 October, page 14).
An article stated that none of the UK government’s £1.57bn arts rescue fund had yet been handed out to theatres, but in fact some of the money has been given to theatres in Scotland (“Arts bailout delay leaves jobs at risk and theatres on the brink of ruin”, 4 October, page 8).
A roundup of football results in last week’s first edition incorrectly said Sheffield Wednesday beat QPR 1-0; in fact, the London club equalised in the sixth minute of added time (“Reading rock while Rooney rolls back years”, 4 October, Sport, page 7).
Other recently amended articles include:
‘Exhausted’ teachers warn they have no additional funding to handle Covid-19
