Ozzy Osbourne’s death has rocked the entire world and one person who had grown close to the legendary rocker was Yungblud. The 27-year-old musician, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, was even a surprise guest at Ozzy’s recent Back to the Beginning farewell show.
And following the tragic news of the Prince of Darkness’ death, he took to social media to share a heartbreaking message. He uploaded two black and white images of the pair together before the Villa Park gig as he gave Ozzy a special necklace.
When I first met you, Yungblud said, “I didn’t think you would leave because your laughter was so infectious.”

They appear to know things that we don’t, though as legends are written. You will always be with me wherever I go on stage, with me wherever I go. “I will never forget you.
Your cross around my neck, he said, is my most priceless possession. You once asked if you could do anything for me, and I responded with the same answer, and I’ll say it again, that the music would suffice for us all. You took us on an adventure that began everything.
The singer formally stated, “I am truly heartbroken. You were history’s greatest.
As many of the world’s greatest rock bands headed to Villa Park, Birmingham in an effort to make Ozzy’s last performance with Black Sabbath the most memorable ever, on July 5, one of those was Yungblud. He performed an amazing rendition of Changes on stage before Ozzy made his appearance.
And he met Ozzy while they were both onstage and took a moment to talk about it backstage. In between sound checks, he gave the rock legend a very special gift.
As he gave Ozzy a large wooden box, he said, “I made you something. You obviously gave me your cross, and I wanted to give it back, so I made you something.

Ozzy looked up the box and said, “Oh my god, that is unbelievable. In order to give Ozzy another necklace, Jungblud held up his own necklace and revealed that he had never taken it off since receiving it.
The family of Ozzy announced the star had died aged 76, today, less than three weeks after his farewell concert with Black Sabbath. His wife Sharon Osbourne and four of his children issued a joint statement shared the sad news.
Ozzy’s family said that he was “surrounded by love” when he died this morning. The statement was signed by Sharon, 72, whom he married in 1982, and their three children Aimee Osbourne, Jack Osbourne and Kelly Osbourne.
Kelly Kelly and Ozzy Osbourne were engaged on July 5 in what was his final performance as Black Sabbath rocker.
Kelly Osbourne is currently in the midst of utter devastation after her rock legend father Ozzy Osbourne died at age 76, just mere days after she revealed her engagement to her longtime partner, Sid Wilson.
On Saturday July 5, less than three weeks before his death, Ozzy officially ended his Prince of Darkness reign as he appeared on stage for one final time. The rock icon joined his Black Sabbath bandmates at Villa Park, Birmingham in one of the most epic farewell shows in music history.
After the incredible show, the Osbourne family were treated to a beautiful surprise as Kelly’s longtime partner Sid proposed in front of her parents Ozzy and Sharon. Taking to Instagram the next day to share the joyful news, Kelly, 40, posted the sweet video of Sid’s proposal as he asked to spend the rest of his life with the former reality TV star.
Alongside the video, Kelly wrote: “Oh, and this happened yesterday.” In the heartwarming clip, Sharon was heard saying: “We’ve got to be quiet, hold on,” as she shushed the crew backstage at show. Kelly’s now fiancé was then heard saying: “Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world.”

However, an innocent Ozzy quickly interrupted Sid’s romantic proposal and yelled, “F*** off! You won’t marry my daughter, I promise. Sid laughed and continues to ask Kelly the crucial question, which is undoubtedly associated with Ozzy’s banter.
Nothing would make me happier than savoring the rest of my life with you, he said. Will you marry me, Kelly, in front of your family and all of our friends? Kelly turned around, looked shocked, before nodding off, raising her hands in her direction.
Then, in the video, one of Kelly’s friends yells “about time” as they joked about Sid not proposing sooner while Sid was holding Ozzy’s dazzling ring. After their extended embrace, Kelly and Sid exchanged a kiss and a kiss, while their families yelled encouragement in the distance.
Sharon and Ozzy watched the proposal take place.
Kelly and her fiance have a long history, but they only started dating after more than 20 years of dating. A source close to Kelly’s relationship with the singer revealed in 2022 that Kelly and Sid met while on Kelly’s band’s 1999 tour of Ozzfest, the music festival created by his parents Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne. Since then, they have been friends. They share a lot of happiness.
Sidney, the couple’s son, was born in 2022, and they are also blessed with him.
The romantic proposal came after Kelly shared her support for her dad Ozzy as she arrived in Birmingham for his final live show on July 5.

For the first time since 2005, the music legend has reunited with all of his original Black Sabbath band members, including Bill Ward, Geezer Butler, and Tony Lommi. Ozzy appeared to be overjoyed when he took to the stage to show his support.
Fans from all over the world traveled to see the final performance, and Kelly, his daughter, was one of the crowd wearing a leopard print dress and waves of hair.
Kelly updated her Instagram Story by posting a selfie with a friend while driving back to the beginning.
Osbourne said, “I don’t know what to say, man, I’ve been laid up for like six years,” in an emotional moment on stage at Back To The Beginning. As he addressed the audience for what is now their final time, “You have no idea how I feel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart,” he said.
Despite his poor health, Ozzy was determined to return to the stage for one more performance. He told Sirius XM in May that he was in “heavy training” because he had not exercised in seven years.

“By hook or by crook,” I must make it there first. This trainer helps people get back to normal, and I have him. He is persuaded that he can pull it off for me despite the challenging situation. I’m giving it everything I can.
“It’s endurance. The first thing that goes when you’re laid up is your stamina. I am having my blood pressure taken 15 times a day… I’ve got this f***ing device on my finger. It’s a monitor to say how my heart rate is. I’m constantly in training seven days a week I’ve got this guy who’s virtually living with me, and I’m in bed by seven.”
In the weeks leading up to his death, the musician had Parkinson’s disease. To be able to perform at the enormous show in Birmingham, he underwent a strict training regimen.
Sharon, Ozzy’s wife, stated in the run-up to the show that Ozzy is “working with his therapist every day.” He’s actually doing really well. Because of his fans, Ozzy’s top priority in life is to be ready for them, making this show the ideal ending.
Ozzy’s devastated family confirmed that he passed away today surrounded by his loved ones.

Banks Homes Riverside, Banks Homes Riverside, and Third Metro Bank One-Day International
India 318-5 (50 overs): Harmanpreet 102 (84), Rodrigues 50 (45)
England 305 (49.5 overs): Sciver-Brunt 98, Goud 6-52
India defeated by 13 runs.
In their winner-takes-all third one-day international, India won the series by 2-1 at Chester-le-Street.
After Kranti Goud dismissed openers Tammy Beaumont and Amy Jones, England needed a women’s ODI record 319 to win the match. The hosts were 8-2 in the third over with that score after a poor field performance that made them need a women’s ODI record 319.
The chase was revived thanks to Captain Nat Sciver-Brunt’s 162 and Emma Lamb’s support, who both scored 68, but scored a catch down the leg on 98.
Despite 34 from Sophia Dunkley, 44 from Alice Davidson-Richards, and 21 from Charlie Dean, it always seemed like a long shot for England to win. However, 121 runs were still required from there.
In the 40th over, Dunkley was let go in a definate manner, and seamer Goud, age 21, returned to finish with 6-52, her maiden five-wicket total. Despite some lower-order hitting, which reduced England’s margin of defeat to 13 runs, the seamer returned.
In the final over, England were bowled out for 305.
Sophie Ecclestone, a spinner, revealed before the game that she was considering leaving after England’s defeat in the Ashes defeat, and only conceded 28 from her 10 overs. The rest of the attack all ran at more than six runs per over.
It was a stand of 110 balls between Harmanpreet and Jemimah Rodrigues, who both made 50 from 45, that took the game away from England, despite opener Smriti Mandhana and third-ranked Harleen Deol making 45 for India.
With the outcome, England has plenty to consider after completing their T20 series with another ODI.
India win series with a scoreline that leaves England speechless.

This appeared to be a close game on paper. In reality, India played better cricket throughout.
It would have only tarnished the ship’s ashes had Sciver-Brunt, who began her reign as skipper by toppling West Indies at the start of the summer, managed to pull off her most recent rescue act. When India provided a step up in class, they have been far behind.
Goud’s fifth international, which she played, had more movement and accuracy than England’s seamers. The pick of Beaumont’s wickets came from a nip-backer who bowled the opener for two.
The field was where the most obvious difference between the sides ended up.
With 55 needed from 30 balls, Rodrigues took a tumbling catch to beat Dean, putting an end to England’s quest, with one-handed diving from Jones’s path. Only two runs were added to the 46th over, which was bowled by the talented Goud.
When Deepti attempted to sweep, Sciver-Brunt had the unfortunate experience of having a ball speared down his leg. In a struggling team, she continues to be the best.
India is given a total of 210 with Harmanpreet’s elegant innings.

Although Chester-le-Street’s lack of threat with the ball on a flat pitch was a glaring issue when England arrived in India, they will likely face significantly different circumstances.
Lauren Bell was ineffective without the new-ball movement. Wayward were left-arm spinner Linsey Smith and seamer Lauren Filer. With Bell, Smith, and Dean all ranking in the top 15 most expensive for England, only Ecclestone managed to exert any sort of control.
India were 162-3 when Deol top-edged a catch off Bell in the 33rd over, but Harmanpreet and Rodrigues paced their innings flawlessly.
As Harmanpreet timed the ball all around the ground, India added 120 more runs in the final ten overs. Rodrigues swept as she hit a number of elegant drives. In 82 balls, the India skipper scored her seventh ODI century, placing her second in the country.
England’s fielding issues have repeatedly hampered their cause.
Only one dropped catch was present on this occasion, which was a difficult chance for Filer, who had to point out Richa Ghosh, but repeated fumbles only served to heighten the feeling of a loss of control.

What they said was the difference, they said.
Nat Sciver-Brunt, England’s captain, said in a Test Match Special: “I’m really proud of how tightly we were bound to it. And it was amazing to see that everyone had that mindset. In the end, it came to 13 runs. We could have really made a good run of it if we had a set batter in the final ten overs.
We have had incredible energy on the field during various phases of different games. Simply put, we haven’t been able to keep it up. We could have had less runs to chase in the end, I suppose, because there was a little bit of a difference between the two teams in the field today.
“We are aware of how much fielding can affect games. India excels in this area. Who we are playing against is up for that kind of performances on the field.
Harmanpreet Kaur, India’s captain, said, “I’m really happy with the way we played in both of the series. We’re putting our best foot forward, thanks to our team, and we’re collaborating.
