Late metal legend Ozzy Osbourne sadly died last week at the age of 76, but the Black Sabbath frontman had some thoughts about what would be written on his headstone12:48, 31 Jul 2025Ozzy Osbourne predicted his infamous bat incident would be immortalised on his headstone(Image: Scott Dudelson/Getty Images)Ozzy Osbourne hilariously predicted what would be written on his headstone before he died.The Prince of Darkness sadly died last week at the age of 76, just weeks after his epic final show with Black Sabbath at Villa Park in his home city of Birmingham. His wife Sharon Osbourne and children announced his passing in a joint statement.Ozzy was laid to rest on Wednesday (July 30) at his funeral in Birmingham, which saw tens of thousands of fans pay tribute to the metal legend. Sharon and their children Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis joined the crowds for Ozzy’s funeral procession on Broad Street before a private funeral service.It was a suitably epic send off for the Crazy Train singer, but he’d already pondered his mortality before his death. In fact, Ozzy laid out his wishes for his funeral and burial years before he died – in his 2009 autobiography, I Am Ozzy.His wife Sharon Osbourne and kids Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis paid their respects at his funeral in Birmingham on Wednesday (July 30)(Image: Getty Images)In one passage of the book, penned with ghost writer Chris Ayres, Ozzy said he wanted to buried, not cremated. He said he’d like to have a tree planted over his head.He wrote: “I want to be put in the ground, in a nice garden somewhere, with a tree planted over my head. A crabapple tree, preferably, so the kids can make wine out of me and get p***ed out of their heads.”The Black Sabbath legend wanted to be buried, not cremated(Image: MTV)He also believed the notorious bat-biting incident would be referenced on his headstone. “As for what they’ll put on my headstone, I ain’t under any illusions. If I close my eyes, I can already see it: Ozzy Osbourne, born 1948. Died, whenever. He bit the head off a bat.”Ozzy notoriously bit the head off of a bat during a 1982 gig in the US state of Iowa. He later recalled he believed it was a toy but realised it was a real bat after biting into the animal on stage.The rocker revealed that he was content with how long he’d lived already, and believed he’d likely die in a “stupid” way. He wrote: “If I don’t live a day longer, I’ll have had more than my fair share. The only thing I ask is that if I end up brain-dead in a hospital somewhere, just pull the plug, please.”But I doubt it’ll get to that. Knowing me, I’ll go out in some stupid way. I’ll trip on the doorstep and break my neck. Or I’ll choke on a throat lozenge. Or a bird will sh** on me and give me some weird virus from another planet.”He then referenced the near-fatal quadbike crash he suffered at his Buckinghamshire home in 2003, which left him with a broken neck vertebra, a broken collarbone and six broken ribs. Ozzy said: “Look what happened with the quad bike: I’d been taking lethal combinations of booze and drugs for decades but it was riding over a pothole in my back garden at two miles an hour that nearly killed me.”Don’t get me wrong: I don’t worry about that kind of heavy-duty stuff on a daily basis. I’ve come to believe that everything in life is worked out in advance. So whenever bad s**t happens, there ain’t nothing you can do about it. You’ve just gotta ride it out. And eventually death will come, like it comes to everyone.”Have you joined Threads?

Iron Maiden have paid tribute to their original lead singer Paul Mario Day, who has died at the age of 69, with the heavy metal band “deeply saddened” by the news11:45, 31 Jul 2025Paul Mario Day died aged 69(Image: Wikipedia )Iron Maiden have expressed their deep sorrow following the death of their original lead singer, Paul Mario Day. The news of the passing of the brief-term vocalist of the iconic heavy metal band – who was part of the group from 1975 to 1976 – was shared by his other former band, More, on Tuesday (July 29).In a heartfelt social media tribute, the band wrote: “We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the great MORE vocalist Paul Mario Day. Paul was a huge part of the [New Wave of British Heavy Metal] from his time in an early version of Iron Maiden and of course his fantastic performance on the Warhead album.”The tribute went on to say: “He was a well loved figure in British rock music and played many memorable shows not least the legendary 1981 Monsters of Rock show at Castle Donington with AC/DC, Whitesnake/David Coverdale as well as tours with Iron Maiden Def Leppard and many other legendary artists.Iron Maiden have paid tribute to the band’s original lead singer(Image: BANG Showbiz)”Mike Freeland remembers him fondly as a ‘bloody great vocalist!’ It’s an honour for us to continue to play his music and we will always think of him every time we hit the opening notes to Warhead. We send our deepest condolences to Paul’s family and friends and also the many fans around the world who love his music.”Iron Maiden, now led by Bruce Dickinson, have since paid their respects, describing Paul, who was 69, as “a lovely person and good mate”.The group expressed their sorrow, stating: “We are deeply saddened that Paul Mario Day, Iron Maiden’s first ever vocalist back in 1975, has passed away. Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences go out to Paul’s family and friends.”They fondly remembered him, saying: “Paul was a lovely person and good mate.”The tribute continued with a simple yet poignant message: “Rest in peace Paul.”Paul Mario Day was the original singer of Iron Maiden(Image: Michael Putland/Getty Images)Although Day didn’t leave behind any recorded tracks with Maiden, he later claimed a hand in writing their track Strange World. Steve Harris, the band’s founding member and bassist, had previously commented on Day’s lack of “energy or charisma on stage”, leading to his replacement by Dennis Wilcock, and eventually, Paul Di’Anno, who also passed away in October 2024.Reflecting on Harris’s criticism, Day once shared with Blabbermouth: “Steve was saying, ‘You’ve got to get better. You’ve got to be more in the audience’s face. You’ve got to be commanding. You’ve got to be a hero.'”He admitted to agreeing with the feedback but struggled to implement it, revealing: “I didn’t actually know how to make that happen. I got warning for maybe three months: ‘Get it together. Get it together.'”Despite his efforts, Day confessed: “I wanted to, I just didn’t know how to do it. So the funny thing is, the worst experience was the best lesson because when I got that notice and I felt so gutted, it changed me.”Day’s career spanned beyond Iron Maiden, including stints with bands like Wildfire and the glam rock group Sweet, who also paid homage to the late singer with a succinct but touching post: “Paul Mario Day RIP”.”IN 1985 Mick Tucker and myself put together the first new line-up of Sweet after the hiatus of the original band. We needed a singer and when Paul arrived for the audition we looked no further. Our first dates were in Australia, total sell-outs which boded well for the future. Europe followed suit and 3 sold out nights at the Marquee in London produced a live album, video and DVD. “Live at the Marquee” did well in various charts around the world and Paul’s vocal performance has stood the test of time.”PMD was the original singer with Iron Maiden and had a stint with the band More before joining Sweet.”He passed away peacefully at his home in Australia. My deepest condolences to his wife Cecily and family and friends. A sad day for all Sweet fans.

Cat Deeley and Patrick Kielty were in the process of a major renovation at their multi-million pound London home before announcing their split this week11:10, 31 Jul 2025Cat Deeley and Patrick Kielty have split after 13 years of marriage(Image: Getty Images Europe)These images show the planned Beverly Hills-style makeover of a London mansion at the heart of the split between Cat Deeley and Patrick Kielty. The celebrity duo, who announced their separation this week after 13 years of marriage, were in the midst of major renovation work on their multi-million pound abode after returning to the UK.They purchased the £5million bare bones property, dubbed a “fixer-upper”, with the aim of crafting an LA-style home in Hampstead. In 2022, they secured planning permission to transform it into a mid-century modern-style residence.Barnet Council gave the go-ahead to “renovate, extend and upgrade” the five-bedroom property. Detailed sketches and photos illustrate the magnitude of the project embarked upon by the couple.Cat Deeley and Patrick Kielty bought the property to do it up(Image: Barnet Council docs / SWNS)Sources claimed this week that although they have been leading separate lives recently, the renovation plans had been adding “extra stress” to the relationship. Cat had been flaunting the progress on the 1950s property on her social media and once confessed to being “overwhelmed” by the project.She remarked: “I’m not going to lie, I got a bit of a shock today. Not much house, lots of air.”A planning application said a lot needed doing to the home(Image: Barnet Council docs / SWNS)In documents submitted as part of the application, the couple’s representatives had outlined the aspirations behind the project.They stated: “The present owners bought the derelict property in a run down state. And it has been unoccupied for a number of years.”The proposed design which retains the existing fabric as much as possible in contrast to planning applications submitted by previous owners who proposed demolition and re-build.”The application said the home was very dark inside(Image: Barnet Council docs / SWNS)Documents highlighted the many positive qualities of the existing dwelling that the owners wished to “build on and strengthen”.However, they noted: “There are other aspects of the existing house which need improving. It has been unoccupied for many years and is in a poor state of repair.”The roof and windows need replacing and upgrading thermally. The interior needs a wholesale refurbishment.The proposed plans would modernise the property(Image: Barnet Council docs / SWNS)”There is no direct access from the first floor living rooms to the garden and the terrace is rather constrained in size.”The bedrooms are currently quite small compared to the size of the house and do not get much light, they also have a low ceiling which makes them feel even more compromised.”The internal layout of the house and split-levels makes the house feels disjointed and awkward at times. It is very dark in the centre of the house on both floors.”The couple’s representatives stated: “The brief from the client is to improve the internal layout of the house, which is currently very fragmented and non-functional, through some internal alterations.”The property was located in Hampstead(Image: Barnet Council docs / SWNS)The plans also proposed an extension to the north facade to create an entrance hall and new work space, and to extend the west elevation by 1.5m to provide more terrace area on the first floor and larger bedrooms on the ground floor.The representatives further stated: “The owners are determined to create a home which improves the site’s function and form, creating a dwelling that is worthy of this unique location.”Materials were also utilised to “connect the clients to their previous home in LA and to places that have significant memories for them.”The pair tied the knot in Rome in 2012 and announced their separation this week.Article continues belowThey had forked out £4.9million for the property after they decided to stop residing in the US with their two lads.Want all the biggest Showbiz and TV news straight to your inbox?

She’s now a Hollywood star, having appeared in the latest Scream movies, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and other huge flicks.But we’re just days away from seeing her return in the second series of Wednesday, which airs its first part on August 6. Jenna and her co-stars have posed up a storm at London’s National History Museum ahead of the new series.Jenna revealed her abs in a plunging black bralette and matched the look with puffy gloves and trousers. She posed on the staircase and channelled her gothic character, shooting a moody stare at the camera with a hand on her hip.The actress looked incredible in a black leather bralette(Image: Netflix)Her Wednesday co-star Emma Myers, who plays Enid Sinclair, opted for a tiny black sparkling bralette and midi skirt. Jenna’s on-screen mum Catherine Zeta-Jones (Morticia Addams) looked elegant in a plunging white blazer.Jenna’s on-screen dad Luis Guzman (Gomez Addams) looked dapper in a brown leather blazer. New castmate Joanna Lumley, who is set to play Grandmama Hester Frump, oozed elegance in a floral long coat.The whole cast looked sensational in the promo shoot for the series at London’s Natural History Museum(Image: Netflix)Jenna said the sudden fame that came with the success of Wednesday was “very overwhelming”. Asked if she was ready for it, she told the BBC: “Is anyone? No, I wasn’t. I wouldn’t want to know someone who is. I don’t think that should ever be like a normal sort of [experience].””I’m still very appreciative and grateful. We didn’t know that anyone was going to watch the show. You do these things and you don’t know what’s to come, so it was very overwhelming.”Wednesday’s second season will air on Netflix on August 6(Image: Jonathan Hession/Netflix )She said she was “very grateful and glad that it was able to resonate with people in the way that it did”. The star added: “I think one of the reasons people resonate with the Addams family so much is their strangeness.”They’re a very cohesive unit, but they’re also very different from one another and stand out. They shouldn’t fit [together] but they do. And that’s very relatable.”On the dynamic between Wednesday and her mum Morticia, she said: “It’s very typical for mother and daughter to butt heads, and the daughter wanting to be her own person and feel that maybe she’s not being given the space she deserves or needs to come into her own.””But also the mother’s desire to look after her children and be protective, and not wanting them to have to deal with the same hardships that they may have faced in the past. Reading the scripts, it’s very applicable to my experience as a teenager, and now.”Article continues belowHave you joined Threads?
