Ozzy Osbourne, a rock legend, “knew” that this was his final public farewell performance at Villa Park.

Tom Morello, a close friend and Back To the Beginning musical director, acknowledged that the Brummie star was aware of the end times.

Less than three weeks prior to his passing, he did not attend the Villa Park performance. However, Morello continued, “Frail, it was a tragic surprise” that Oz passed away so soon after his last performance.

After the “legendary” gig, Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave star Morello had a private moment to say goodbye.

Morello, a host of US station Q101, said: “It is tragic. Ozzy Osbourne has lived a pretty on-the-edge life for a long time, and it was a miracle that he managed to survive it.

“The fact that he lived to experience Paranoia, Crazy Train, and play and feel that love once more… If you have to go, you must go, and I wish Ozzy had lived another 30 years. he knew, it seemed to him. ”

Ozzy thanked Morello for nearly two years of work on the Black Sabbath reunion, which he and Sharon shared.

He attended the after party, “. Someone is tapping me on the shoulder while we were playing pinball with Roman, and I was like, “Get off me!” I’m having a good time. Jack Osbourne likes, “Ozzy wants to say hello! ’. I must say thank you to him, say I love him, and kiss his head.

It was a great day for him, he declared. ”

Morello responded, “He has been frail for a while, but he hasn’t been suppressed by the death.” However, one of my friends and I saw him at a different Birmingham event a week later. He wasn’t lying on his deathbed. He simply was living his life in some way. A terrible and tragic surprise came along.

Instead of dwelling on that, I would like to concentrate on his and Sabbath’s groundbreaking and amazing career. ”

With so many stars missing out on an appearance, Morello explained that the idea of a Sabbath finale was crucial to get right.

When Sharon and Ozzy approached me, I thought, “This is the greatest day in heavy metal history. The most significant day of that genre will come if we do this correctly. ’

We put in extra effort to make that happen. Three things went wrong, out of a million possibilities. For all fans of rock and roll, it was a spiritually uplifting experience.

“Black Sabbath invented heavy metal. Ozzy and Sabbath could not be more important to me as a fan. I laid out to make it a great show for fans and for them. It is so unusual that those guys headlined it. They got to see all the work they had done and the great artists their music had created but perform for them. And they got to play and feel the love not just from the other bands, the 40,000 people in the stadium but from people all over the world. I do not know if there has ever been an event like that, while everybody is alive, they really got the full measure of how the world loves them.” Morello spoke to US station Q101.

On July 22, Ozzy, one of rock’s most recognizable and influential musicians, passed away at the age of 76.

Robbie Williams, the pop star, called phone giving by parents “abuse.” The father of four described his four children as “drugs,” saying he would never give them phones.

Speaking to ITV News he said: “They don’t have phones. They’re not going to have phones for as long as humanly possible. And you know they’re gonna go, they are at school, other people have phones, why can’t I have a phone? Tough. “That’s as simple as it is. I’m 51, I can’t deal with the corrosive nature of the internet and things. It hurts me. It ruins my day.

How do I administer this drug to a 12-year-old? How do I administer this drug to a seven-year-old? It’s abuse”.

Although Teddy was the singer’s daughter when she was the bridesmaid at her friend Princess Eugenie’s wedding in 2018, Teddy was in the public.

The feud, however, appears to have subsided with Williams saying that despite not being friends, they are not “enemies”.

Investigation into Caroline Flack’s death closed after ‘reasonable’ findings

Caroline Flack’s death and the charges brought against her have been settled. The investigation into officers’ actions in front of the CPS was closed in January, according to the Independent Office for Police Conduct, and the results were “reasonable and proportionate.”

After allegedly assaulting her then-boyfriend Lewis Burton, Flack was charged with assault by beating in December 2019. After the incident, the Crown Prosecution Service had advised her to be warned. She was later charged after the Metropolitan Police appealed the decision. In February 2020, she tragically committed suicide.

Caroline’s mother argued that Caroline’s celebrity status had a significant impact on the charge’s outcome after the IOPC reviewed her case. London’s Metropolitan Police sent a complaint referral to the IOPC, which contained “a number of allegations about the force’s investigation” into the alleged assault in March of last year.

After allegedly assaulting her boyfriend, Lewis Burton (PA), Caroline Flack was charged.

A Met Police complaint referral was made on March 7, 2024, and it contained a number of allegations about the force’s investigation into an alleged assault involving Caroline Flack in December 2019.

No further action was required because we determined that the majority of the allegations had already been reviewed by the IOPC and investigated by the force.

We ordered the Met to investigate one aspect of the complaint on the grounds that there might be additional witness testimony. This was related to the officers’ responses to the Crown Prosecution Service’s (CPS)’s) initial decision not to charge Ms. Flack.

Five allegations were brought back to the force to be resolved fairly. The Met gave the complainant in June, and in July, the Met released results that demonstrated no new evidence that would alter previous outcomes. The outcome was subject to a review by the complainant to the IOPC. In January 2025, we concluded that the outcome was reasonable and appropriate.

In 2024, DPS officers conducted more inquiries and looked at the new evidence, according to a Met spokesperson. The officer’s statement that “the original outcome was acceptable” was not altered. The family filed an appeal with the IOPC after being informed of the outcome in June [2024].

No new evidence that could alter any of the previous outcomes was discovered during the IOPC’s review in January 2025. The IOPC may, however, review this once more in the event that new evidence becomes available.

Coroner Mary Hassell stated that the alleged assault had “played out in the national press” following Flack’s death, which had an effect on the presenter’s mental health. Caroline’s mother, Christine, claimed last year that the incident “wasn’t domestic abuse.”

This was an accident, she claimed to Sky News. But she was described as a domestic abuser in court and in the media, which hurts. Because she wasn’t, I want to get rid of that. Additionally, according to Christine, Flack’s fame caused him to be treated differently.

She said, “She shouldn’t be treated better, but she shouldn’t be treated worse.” Prior to Caroline’s suicide, the Met had previously addressed the IOPC.

Flack’s family filed a complaint with the IOPC after the DPS determined there was no misconduct. The office was ordered to apologize in 2023 after failing to explain why it had appealed the caution, but they claimed it had not found any instances of misconduct.

Lewis, her ex-boyfriend, also stated that he didn’t support the prosecution, and that he had publicly criticized this after her death. Flack was detained shortly after 5am at her London home on December 12, 2019. According to police, there was a “domestic disturbance” when they were called to a residential address.

One day later, she was charged. A Met spokesperson said: “Caroline Flack, 40, of Islington, was charged with assault by beating on Friday, December 13th. On Monday, December 23rd, she will appear in Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court for bail.

Following reports of a man being assaulted, an incident occurred on Thursday, December 12 at around 05:25. He didn’t suffer any serious injuries.

John Bartley dead: Award-winning Hollywood cameraman who worked on The X-Files dies

Close friend of the cameraman John Bartley, who won an Emmy Award, has revealed that he passed away at the age of 78.

The X-Files-starring New Zealand-born cinematographer passed away on Sunday in Los Angeles. The tragic news was confirmed on social media by his friend Polly Pierce.

The Australian filmmaker reported that John S. Bartley, my long-time mentor and dear friend, has passed away. “I wouldn’t be in film if it weren’t for John and his groundbreaking work on @thexfilestv.”

For his contributions to the well-known series, John received three ASC Award nominations and two Primetime Emmy nominations, including the 1996 Emmy for the episode “Grotesque.”

For Lost and Bates Motel episodes, he received more Emmy nominations. The cinematographer was a theatre cashier and a career military officer in Wellington, New Zealand.

When John was 12 years old, his father abruptly passed away at the age of 53. John and his brother would spend the next two years with their mother at the office, where they would sit until she finished her shift.

They were occasionally permitted to watch musical performances on stage. Only one channel was available to the population in his city when broadcast television first started broadcasting in 1960.

“I was fascinated by movies. We used to go to the theater on school trips, John said.

He passed away in Los Angeles at the age of 78.

After graduating from high school, John began working as a lighting director for theater and television.

In 2011, John said, “I was really lucky. Two station lighting technicians taught me what I needed to know about television, even though I had no idea what it was. I learned how to use light to bring out black-and-white tones in televisions to help tell stories. In those days, television was black-and-white.

Two years after moving to Canada, he soon met filmmakers at the rental house William F. White International, Inc.

John then worked on The X Files’ I Want to Believe, Odd Girl Out, Another Life, The Chronicles of Riddick, Wrong Turn, Echo, Another Stakeout, Disturbing Behaviour, and more.

He is credited with producing The Good Doctors, Vikings, Los, Roswell, Wu Assassins, 21 Jump Street, and Booker for television.

Nikki told her daughter over the phone she was heading to an Airbnb but never arrived. Her phone was also shut off, Taylor told the outlet.

Nash rose to fame on Vine, a six-second video-sharing platform, where he posted comedy and lifestyle skits. He and brother Hayes were part of Magcon in the late 2010s.

Meanwhile, he and Taylor tied the knot last year after almost 10 years of dating. They got engaged in 2019, with the two confirming the happy news in 2019.

“She said yes,” Nash captioned the snap of Taylor happily holding up her ring to the camera. The duo welcomed two children, son Malakai, six, and daughter Noa, three.

When they got married, Nash posted photos from their lavish day and wrote: “Romanticising life,” with his mother-in-law commenting: “So happy I was there to witness how special the first two are!! The most beautiful love and Noa and Malakai were so happy!”

Nash shares many updates on his life with fans, with the star recently reflecting on his growth since becoming a father. “27 today, a lot has changed since I became a father 5 years ago including my perception of time. The years have been flying by lately,” he said in December. “I take lots of pictures and videos and try my best to savour every moment.”

He added: “Everyday I become more and more grateful for the simple pleasures of life like the weather, home cooked meals, reading with the kids, riding a bike, fresh fruit/vegetables, good conversations, long runs, healthy soil, raising chickens, playing in the snow. The list goes on and on and I’m looking forward to another year of adding to it.”
