Yungblud hopes to keep Ozzy Osbourne's spirit alive
Yungblud wants to keep Ozzy Osbourne's "spirit" and "energy" alive. The music icon passed away on July 22, aged 76, and Yungblud - who performed at Ozzy's final concert in Birmingham, England - has paid a heartfelt tribute to his "hero". The 28-year-old star - whose real name is Dominic Harrison - told Sky News: "Ozzy is everything to me, always has been. And to be able to go on stage and honour my hero and sing that song to him, without knowing that they were his final days, was everything to me. "I will try my best to keep that spirit and keep that energy alive. I love that guy. I got to know him personally at the end and I love that family. I've got nothing but love, always." Yungblud previously admitted that he's "found solace in being similar" to Ozzy. The singer is a long-time fan of the Black Sabbath frontman, and he paid a glowing tribute to Ozzy - who revealed in 2020 that he'd been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease - ahead of the band's farewell gig at Villa Park. Yungblud told The Independent: "Since I can remember, Ozzy has always been a part of my life. "I grew up around rock music, and he was a character to me before I even knew anything about him. I remember his hair, I remember his massive mouth, I remember his glasses from when I was three years old. "If you know me and my family, we're truly f****** loud – they used to call us The Osbournes. So, I kind of found solace in being similar to them. "Growing up watching The Osbournes and the madness, I was always like that. I was always out there and crazy. To see someone being so loved and accepted with all their madness … I really found solace in a figure like Ozzy." Yungblud thinks they're actually very similar, despite their musical differences. The 11 Minutes hitmaker said: "We're very similar. "Even though we don't necessarily make the same kind of music, we kind of represent the same thing. Being out there and thinking outside the box is what we're both known for."

Chris Hemsworth's diagnosis changed his outlook
Chris Hemsworth's perspective on life changed when he learned he had a greater chance of developing Alzheimer's disease. The 41-year-old actor previously learned that he is, biologically, eight to ten times more likely than other people to develop Alzheimer's, as he carries two copies of the APOE4 gene, and Hemsworth admits that the revelation has changed his life. Hemsworth - who made the discovery while filming the TV show Limitless: Live Better Now - told Sky News: "It was just kind of this point in my life where up until your 40s, you're kind of gathering data and information and it's all reactionary and then you get to a point where you think, 'oh some of this sort of identity that I've sort of built doesn't hold true anymore'. "There's some inner sort of protest or inner voice that has a deeper need to understand and there's deeper questions and what is the purpose and the why behind what I'm doing ... and what am I seeking, what am I contributing, as opposed to just what I am collecting." Meanwhile, Hemsworth previously admitted that his busy work schedule has taken a toll on him. The actor starred in a host of big-budget films, including eight Marvel blockbusters, in just over 12 years, and Hemsworth admitted that he struggled to cope with the demands. He told Vanity Fair: "I'd been trying to muscle and beat things into existence for so long, out of obsession and desperation to build this career, and I was just exhausted. I was worried about everything. Nothing was as enjoyable as it once was, or I had imagined it was. "I was making back-to-back movies and doing the press tours, and I was married and had three young kids, and it was all happening at the same time in a very short window. "You're sort of just running on fumes, and then you're showing up to something with little in the tank and you start to pick things apart: 'Why am I doing this film?' 'Why isn't this script better?' 'Why didn't that director call me for that,' or, 'Why didn't I get considered for this role?' 'Why don't I get the call-up from Scorsese or Tarantino?' "I had begun to take it all too serious and too personal." Chris Hemsworth's perspective on life changed when he learned he had a greater chance of developing Alzheimer's disease.
