Ozzy Osbourne’s death just days after his massive Black Sabbath farewell show at Villa Park in Birmingham was revealed by Jack Osbourne’s family, who has not yet known.

Ozzy Osbourne’s son Jack has revealed “no one expected” he would die just days after performing his farewell show. The music icon sadly died in July aged 76 just 17 days after taking to the stage for one last time.
He made an epic comeback with Black Sabbath and performed solo at his Back to the Beginning concert in his hometown of Birmingham. Ozzy was joined by his rock pals as they put on one of the greatest send off shows in music history.
Just over two weeks later, the tragic news of Ozzy’s death broke. He died at the family home in Buckinghamshire after wanting to return to the UK with wife Sharon for years.

Ozzy and Sharon had been open about his condition after receiving a Parkinson’s diagnosis, but the couple’s family acknowledged that considering his death wasn’t on their “radar.” After learning the news at his Los Angeles home, Jack immediately flew to England to visit with his family.
He said he just felt “sadness and pain” upon hearing the news but did find comfort that Ozzy was no longer in pain. “There was a level of okay he’s not suffering anymore,” Jack said on his YouTube channel.
He doesn’t have any problems, which is good. I long for him to be with us all, and I long for him to be. However, he was clearly having an unpleasant time, and I believe that was apparent at the event.
No one anticipated it to occur as quickly as it did, and when it did, Jack explained, describing how Ozzy’s death shocked people. It wasn’t something we were anticipating.
After that, he made a decision to dispel any rumors that Ozzy planned to pass away after the show. According to Jack, “I know that in the lead up to it, there was a lot of planning going on with my dad going to Switzerland to put himself to death.”

It wasn’t absolutely not that this was, it was. That is absolutely absurd and false. Jack explained to Jack that Ozzy was “so happy” that he had been able to take one last step backstage and that he was getting ready to retire.
He “joked” to enter this stage of his life, “Jack shared.” He desired to travel to England longer. He desired to have my children spend more time with.
He “wished to devote as much time to exploring different things as much as he could.” Jack recalls the day Ozzy passed away by knocking on my home door at around 3:45 in the morning from a person who had worked for my family for God for almost 30 years.
I just knew something bad had happened when I looked through my window and realized it was him. My father passed away, I was informed.
“Just sadness, pain, and so many thoughts,” the phrase goes. You experience this feeling of depressed, angry, and anger that seems to me necessary at this very moment.
The new Wuthering Heights movie adaptation’s first trailer has been released, and it’s obvious Emerald Fennell’s take on the classic novel will be very provocative.
Fans of Wuthering Heights claim the new film adaptation is “worse than you could ever imagine.”
Emily Bronte fans have been left divided as the first look at the latest Wuthering Heights movie adaptation has been revealed. The iconic dark romance is set to get the Hollywood treatment with Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie in the leading roles.
Saltburn director Emerald Fennell’s hotly anticipated movie adaptation set on the lonesome Yorkshire Moors has been given a saucy makeover, with many fearing it is a far cry from the classic book. The opening scene sees a man ejaculates while being executed, with other risqué scenes teased.
In the new trailer, Charli xcx’s hit Everything Is Romantic acts as a soundtrack as viewers are introduced to Margot and Jacob as Catherine and Heathcliff.

According to those who have already seen the full film, Oscar-nominated Fennel’s adaptation of Bronte’s classic novel was “aggressively provocative,” with mixed reviews coming out of advanced screenings.
And the first trailer undoubtedly sparked some contradictory opinions among social media commentators as well. A stunning close-up of Margot is followed by a stunning shot of a grand estate nestled in the West Yorkshire moors. We are suddenly shown a close-up of two female hands kneading bread.
A shirtless, bare, glistening back, a man handling hay in a stable, more bread-kneading, fingers tracing through egg yolks, Margot’s Catherine placing her fingers on Jacob’s face, a woman wearing horse tack, and, naturally, a finger probing the mouth of a fish are what follows in a montage of more traditional images.
Fennell’s interpretation appears to be divisive.
“It’s worse than you could ever imagine,” one Twitter (X) user penned in reaction to the trailer going live. “This looks and feels garish & tacky as sh** lmao god bless,” another added as a third fumed: “someone take away emerald fennell’s directing license i’m so serious.”
But some are excited to see the latest adapation of Wuthering Heights when it lands in cinemas on Valentine’s Day next year. “It looks stunning and erotic. (In the best way),” one fan quipped, as another gushed: “Margot Robbie + Jacob Elordi in a gothic Valentine’s release? That’s gonna pack theaters.”
One viewer described Fennell’s interpretation of the movie as “aggressively provocative and tonally abrasive” at the film’s first test screening last month. The movie begins with a public hanging where the “condemned man ejaculates mid-execution,” according to reports following the screening. A nun “fondles the corpse’s visible erection” while the crowd of people watching the execution then reacts orgiastically.
Some people have questioned Margot’s age in the role of Catherine.
Jacob gushed about the upcoming film earlier this year, saying, “The performances from everyone are breathtaking. It’s a truly wonderful romance. It’s an authentic epic. It has stunning visuals. The writing is stunning. The costumes are incredible.
Jacob being cast as Heathcliff initially sparked some controversary, due to the character being described as hating dark skin in Bronte’s book. Casting director, Karmel Cochrane, defended the decision to place a white man in the role earlier this year.
“There was one Instagram comment that said the casting director should be shot,” she said. “But just wait till you see it, and then you can decide whether you want to shoot me or not. But you really don’t need to be accurate. It’s just a book. That is not based on real life. It’s all art.”

Alfie Hewett of Great Britain defeated American Charlie Cooper to win the US Open wheelchair singles title.
Hewett, the 17-year-old, defeated the 17-year-old in a 6-0, 6-2 victory in just 61 minutes.
After missing the previous year’s competition due to conflicting schedules with the Paralympics, wheelchair tennis is making its way back to New York.
Hewett, who won the Australian Open title in January and won it in 2022 and 2023, is chasing a second Grand Slam singles title this year.
After two hours and 33 minutes, his long-term doubles partner Gordon Reid won in a close encounter with Spain’s Daniel Caverzaschi, 7-6 (7-4), 4-4, 6-1).
Greg Slade and Andy Lapthorne, fellow Britons, also advanced to the quad singles round.
Slade won three matches to seal a 6-3, 4-6, 7-6 (19) victory over Brazil’s Leandro Pena, while Lapthorne, a two-time US Open champion, defeated South African Donald Ramphadi 6-2, 6-3.
The band’s attempts to trademark their logo design have been criticized by the retailer of the same name, with the Gallagher brothers currently reportedly being branded “free riders” by the company.

Noel and Liam Gallagher has been slammed by an online fashion retailer who has labelled Oasis as “free riders”. Clothing brand Oasis criticised the group’s application to trademark the band’s logo.
They object to the movement because the logo is “identical” to their own. However, it’s reported that the Mancunian group has reportedly hired legal counsel to defend their position. The brothers’ earlier in the year submitted an application to the Intellectual Property Office for the trademark logo.
According to reports, they are considering using the white lettering on a black background on a number of products, including clothing brands, toys, and cosmetics. And it’s believed that Noel, 48, and Liam, 52, turned to Beck Greener for the fight.

They once helped Paul O’Grady in his fight against a brewery who were trying to name a beer by his alter-ego, Lily Savage.
Noel and Liam are not reversing, according to a source. Their teams are confident in their ability to succeed. According to them, “If there is no resolution after the mediation period, the case will go to a tribunal.”
However, the former high street giant store, which is currently only available online, claims that if the band succeeds, it will “obtain an unfair advantage by free-riding on the opponent’s trademark, thereby potentially increasing sales of its goods”.
The musicians have been touring as a result of the scenario. The band has now crossed the water following a smashing UK and Ireland leg.
They have given performances in the US and will next weekend take to the Mexican stage. However, a fan who had the opportunity to witness them on both sides of the Atlantic has come to know that now that they are heading to the states has noticed a significant change.
The retailer is not impressed,
The Mirror US’s deputy entertainment editor, Kirsty McCormack, expressed her gratitude to The Mirror US for spending “every penny” watching Oasis live on August 3. These kinds of memories are incomparable.
There’s nothing better than being surrounded by hundreds, if not thousands, of total strangers who are equally fond of a band as you are. Even though it’s nice to have a seat at a concert occasionally, I was SO glad to be in the middle, even if it did feel like a workout at times! “
Before she was able to get a ticket of her own, Kirsty, who is based in New York, admitted to feeling a little jealous toward some friends who had tickets to the New Jersey dates at the end of August.
She admitted, “I was skeptical about how the US crowd would compare to the UK crowd. I went to the pop-up store in Manhattan last week and met a fantastic turnout of American and British fans eager to see the NJ shows.
She acknowledged that the night’s atmosphere simply wasn’t the same as it was on the night with just a hint of sadness. She claimed that the atmosphere simply wasn’t the same. One of my friends responded to my Instagram Story the following morning and said, “The crowd is small!

No shade to the Americans, but they appeared to be very reserved. Remaining silent, I actually feel bad for the people next to me and my partner! Oasis is the band you can really let loose to, in my opinion!

Amanda Anisimova won the US Open semi-finals after beating the second seed in the Wimbledon final against Iga Swiatek.
Swiatek, a Polish champion, defeated Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 to claim the title in a one-sided showpiece at SW19.
However, the American won 6-4, 6-3 in a high-quality match in New York, demonstrating her true potential.
In stark contrast to the Wimbledon final, eighth-seeded Anisimova appeared confident and at ease, producing 23 winners as her powerful debut beat Swiatek.
The 24-year-old said, “I’ve been having the run of my life here.”
“I was like OK, let’s try and get through one round when I first arrived here.”
Such a dream, I must say. It’s really special for me to return from Wimbledon that way.
“I worked really hard to change that,” he said. I can do it, as today demonstrated to me.
Anisimova showed incredible resilience to advance to a major semi-final so quickly after taking a two-year break from the sport in 2022 to protect her mental health.
The Wimbledon final might have come to mind when Swiatek took Anisimova’s serve in the opening match of the quarter-final.
However, Anisimova continued to follow her plan this time around. She fought back and forth before bidding her time as she served brilliantly and had excellent backhand skills.
She had a good time getting the break on the Pole’s second serve, winning 12 of her 17 points, and winning the match’s opening set.
Swiatek left the court in the middle of the first set and resurrended in full force, breaking once more but this time with a hold.
Anisimova might have forgiven her for thinking about Wimbledon in the future, but she kept her cool and saved the break two games later.
As Swiatek desperately looked to her coaching box for guidance after breaking in the eighth game to give herself the chance to play for the match.
