Music legends gather in UK for Ozzy Osbourne's private funeral
Ozzy Osbourne has been laid to rest in Buckinghamshire, England, one week after his death. The Prince of Darkness' family members and loved ones mourned him in a private funeral at his and Sharon Osbourne's sprawling home on Thursday. Zakk Wylde, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Slipknot's Corey Taylor and more rockers attended the somber affair. Ozzy's final resting place is on his property beside a lake, according to the Daily Mail, where a massive floral tribute was erected on the grounds in his honor. Notably, the late musician wrote in 'I Am Ozzy,' his 2009 autobiography, that he did not wish to be cremated. Instead, he clarified, 'I want to be put in the ground in a nice garden somewhere with a tree planted over my head.' Ozzy died on July 22 at age 76 after paramedics reportedly spent hours trying to save him. He is survived by wife Sharon Osbourne, their three kids — Aimee Osbourne, Kelly Osbourne and Jack Osbourne — and children Elliot Kingsley, Jessica Osbourne and Louis Osbourne from his previous marriage to Thelma Riley. The musician shared his wishes for his funeral in a Times column published more than a decade before his death. The singer didn't want any guests to be 'harping on the bad times' at his service, insisting it should be a 'celebration' instead of a 'mope-fest.' He said, 'I'd … like some pranks: maybe the sound of knocking inside the coffin; or a video of me asking my doctor for a second opinion on his diagnosis of 'death.'' The Grammy winner noted, 'I honestly don't care what they play at my funeral; they can put on a medley of Justin Bieber, Susan Boyle and We Are the Diddymen if it makes 'em happy.' Osbourne was honored in his United Kingdom hometown on Wednesday with a public procession down Birmingham's Broad Street. His family members, who followed behind in vehicles and stepped out for an emotional appearance, paid for the homage. 'We are grateful that they have generously offered to pay to enable this to happen and support the city is giving him the farewell he deserves,' the city's lord mayor, Zafar Iqbal, gushed Tuesday. He noted that the 'fitting, dignified tribute' will 'mean [so much] to [Black Sabbath] fans.' The band's surviving members have each honored their late 'brother' with touching social media tributes. Osbourne played a farewell show with Bill Ward, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler, and we heard he spent his final days 're-energized' by the performance. 'It filled him with life,' a source told Page Six. 'He'd really been slowing down, and then after the show he was really back to be being himself. It's a beautiful ending.'

‘The city is ready': S.F. prepares for massive crowds during string of Golden Gate Park concerts
San Francisco police and other city agencies will be out in full force in and around Golden Gate Park for an unprecedented string of concerts over the next three weekends, officials said Thursday. The large-scale events — Dead & Company's shows on Aug 1 -3, the Outside Lands festival on Aug. 8 -10 and the Zach Bryan and Kings of Leon concert on Aug. 15 — are expected to draw more than 450,000 attendees combined in what marks the first time Golden Gate Park hosts concerts three weekends in a row, officials said. 'The San Francisco Police Department will have a full deployment of officers' in and around Golden Gate Park before, during and after the concerts, Interim Police Chief Paul Yep said. 'The San Francisco Police Department and our city partners have been planning for these events for months, and we've been training for any scenario that may occur,' Yep said. 'The city is ready.' He added that Golden Gate Park 'is going to be the safest place in San Francisco.' Sheriff's deputies, park rangers, parking control officers and other city personnel will also be out in full force, along with security guards. 'Our teams are equipped and trained to handle a variety of situations, and we are fully prepared for any emergencies that may arise during these weekends,' Mayor Daniel Lurie said. With crowds expected to fan out into other parts of the city after the shows, Yep said additional officers and city ambassadors will flood neighborhoods near the park, including Haight Street and downtown corridors. While the shows were expected to inconvenience some residents in the area with issues such as heavy traffic and loud noise, the city is prepared to handle complaints, including through a hotline that runs every year for Outside Lands, said Phil Ginsburg, general manager of the Recreation and Park Department. The hotline is 415-965-8001. Ginsberg and Allen Scott, president of concerts and festivals at Another Planet Entertainment, the organizer of the shows for all three weekends, underscored the economic impacts of the shows. The three weekends are expected to pour $150 million into the city's economy, plus $7 million for the Recreation and Park Department, Scott said. Another Planet also donates $25,000 to the Sunset and Richmond neighborhoods, 'as a little bit of a thank you for putting up with a little bit of inconvenience,' Ginsberg said. Lurie said attendees, including out-of-town visitors, stay at hotels, eat at restaurants and visit other small businesses. 'That economic impact stretches across the city,' he said, 'and all San Franciscans feel the benefit.' 'When visitors feel safe and they enjoy their trip, they go home and they tell everybody what we all know: That San Francisco is not only a world-class city, but we are a city on the rise,' Lurie said.

Plenty of Bands Collaborate With Breweries. Which Cans Actually Rock?
Each year, Dogfish Head brewery develops scores of beers, hoping for a hit. The key note could be fragrant hops, or a stylistic twist. This February, the Delaware brewery got drinkers's attention by celebrating a legendary jam band's 60th anniversary. Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale's fruity flavor reverberated with fans of the band and its spinoff, Dead & Company, which is touring this year. Venues dispense drafts and cans sporting the Dead's skull logo. 'We tapped into this cult following,' said Dogfish Head co-founder Sam Calagione. The collaboration is the brewery's fastest-growing beer in its 30-year history.
