Tributes flow around NRL world after premiership-winner announces retirement
NRL fans and pundits are paying tribute to Chad Townsend after the veteran halfback confirmed he'll retire at season's end. The 34-year-old took to social media on Tuesday to announce the news, which ws expected but never officially confirmed until now. 'It's hard to put into words what this game means to me,' Townsend wrote over a photo with his family. 'I'd like to thank the Yarrawarrah Tigers for giving me an opportunity to fall in love with this game. The memories and friendships I created at my junior club still live with me today and I am very grateful for that. 'To the teams I played for, the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, New Zealand Warriors, North Queensland Cowboys and Sydney Roosters, I am forever grateful for the opportunity you gave me to fulfil my dreams of playing in the NRL. I'd like to thank all the fans who have showed love and support to me throughout my journey. I have always enjoyed connecting with people through our shared love of rugby league." He added: 'To all my teammates over the years, thank you for being there for me throughout the highs and lows that is the rollercoaster of the NRL. We shared some incredible memories together and this will be the thing I miss the most. To my coaches, football staff and club staff, thank you for all your support throughout my career. I have been lucky to work with some incredible people and build some great relationships. 'To my management, Gavin and Chris at Pacific Sports Management, we have shared a long journey together. Thank you for your guidance and support throughout my entire NRL career. 'To my beautiful wife Marissa and our kids Myra, Cairo, Miami and Malibu, thank you for your unwavering support throughout my career. You have been there through it all, on and off the field. Every win, every loss, we did it together. 'When I think about the young kid from Yarrawarrah who was footy obsessed, who just wanted to play footy with his mates, who stood on the family hill waving his flag, who had dreams of making it to the NRL and who had to earn everything he got, my heart and soul are filled with love and gratitude.' RELATED: Bulldogs rocked by potentially season-ending blow for star player Damning stat about Latrell amid calls for 'investigation' at Souths NRL world pays tribute to Chad Townsend's career Townsend spent the majority of his NRL career at Cronulla, playing 146 games for the Sharks and helping the club win their maiden premiership in 2016. He remains a cult hero amongst Sharks fans after playing halfback in that grand final victory over the vaunted Melbourne Storm. He also had two stints at the New Zealand Warriors, and played 70 gamed for North Queensland from 2022 to 2024. He signed a one-year deal with the Sydney Roosters for 2025, and it was widely expected to be his final season in the NRL. Townsend started the year as the Roosters' starting halfback, but was dropped to reserve grade in Round 6 after the emergence of Hugo Savala. The Roosters' singing of Townsend was largely around helping develop young halves Savala, Sandon Smith and Toby Rodwell. The 35-year-old was recalled to NRL level in Round 20 against Cronulla, but coach Trent Robinson later admitted it was a mistake after the Roosters' 31-18 loss. Altogether he's played 268 first-grade games, and represented the Prime Minister's XIII in 2018. He also played two games for the City Origin team before the concept was scrapped. Tributes have been flowing for Townsend on social media, with many praising his career of perseverance and determination.

Ozzy Osbourne Wanted ‘Some Pranks' and 'Justin Bieber' to Be Played at His Funeral in Resurfaced Article
"There'll be no harping on the bad times," Osbourne, who died on July 22, said in a 2011 articleNEED TO KNOW Ozzy Osbourne quipped that he wanted "some pranks" and "Justin Bieber" to be played at his funeral in a response to a fan's question about funeral planning from 2011 Osbourne, who died on July 22, said, "There'll be no harping on the bad times" In 2022, the Prince of Darkness told PEOPLE that "survival" is his legacyOzzy Osbourne had some ideas for his funeral when he mused about it 14 years ago. In a 2011 "Dr. Ozzy Osbourne" column response for The Times, the Prince of Darkness answered a fan's question about what he wanted his funeral to look like. "Is it too morbid to plan your own funeral?" the fan wrote in, "or is it a thoughtful gift for your surviving relatives, like when Peter Sellers asked for Glenn Miller's 'In the Mood' to be played during the service? (His final joke: Everyone knew he hated the song.)" Osbourne, who died on July 22 at 76 years old, had a thoughtful and lighthearted response to the "morbid" question. "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," he began, "but I do want to make sure it's a celebration, not a mope-fest." "I'd also 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 Black Sabbath musician quipped. "There'll be no harping on the bad times." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. "So to answer your question, yes, a bit of planning is the right thing to do for the family you leave behind. It's worth remembering that a lot of people see nothing but misery their whole lives." "So by any measure, most of us in this country — especially rock stars like me — are very lucky," he concluded. "That's why I don't want my funeral to be sad. I want it to be a time to say 'thanks.' " In a 2002 interview with Rolling Stone, the publication asked what he'd want on his epitaph when he's gone. "Just 'Ozzy Osbourne, born 1948, died so-and-so,' " he said. "I've done a lot for a simple working-class guy. I made a lot of people smile. I've also made a lot of people go, 'Who the f--- does this guy think he is?' I guarantee that if I was to die tonight, tomorrow it would be, 'Ozzy Osbourne, the man who bit the head off a bat, died in his hotel room…' I know that's coming." "But I've got no complaints. At least I'll be remembered," added Osbourne. More recently, the "Crazy Train" singer spoke about death and how he wanted to be remembered in his final interview with PEOPLE in 2022. "Survival is my legacy," he said at the time. 'I mean, I'm 73. People go, 'Well, you're 70… why don't I throw the towel in?' Why should I? People still want to buy my records. People still want to see me, so why should I? It motivates me to get off my backside and do something." "I mean, if my career had gone down the toilet and I knew it was the end, I'd be pretty miserable." The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! As for what he hoped his legacy would represent for others, Osbourne said, "Never give up. If you've got a passion for something, you've got to find a way around it to carry on the passion."

Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh Didn't Attend Princess Diana's Funeral Because She Looked Too Much Like Her: Report
NEED TO KNOW A new book claims to unveil why Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh did not attend Princess Diana's royal ceremonial funeral in 1997 According to Sophie: Saving the Royal Family by Sean Smith, Sophie did not want to upset the crowd because of the resemblance she and Diana shared Sophie was dating Prince Edward at the time of Princess Diana's death in 1997, and she later married Queen Elizabeth's youngest son in 1999Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh has been a central member of the royal family for years, but she didn't attend Princess Diana's funeral in 1997 — and a new book claims to unveil the real reason why. In Sophie: Saving the Royal Family by Sean Smith, the author wrote that Sophie did not go to Princess Diana's funeral on Sept. 6, 1997, because of the striking resemblance that she and Diana shared. "She had an obvious and reasonable excuse: a friend at the palace explained, 'Sophie decided it would be too upsetting for the crowd if she went,' " Smith wrote in the biography published on July 17, the Daily Mail reported. " 'She's well aware that she looks like Princess Diana from a distance and made her decision in a caring and thoughtful way. The royal family fully supported.' " Both the late Princess of Wales and Sophie wore their blonde hair in cropped haircuts, which Sophie, now 60, later grew out into a longer style that she continues to sport today. Diana and Sophie shared similar features with blue eyes and light hair, and the Duchess of Edinburgh reportedly once commented on the likeness. "I don't deny that we do look alike. But I couldn't ever compete with Diana's image. I'm not Diana," Sophie told the Daily Mail in the 1990s, according to the Daily Express. At the time of Diana's death, the future Duchess of Edinburgh was a public relations professional known by her maiden name, Sophie Rhys-Jones, and was dating Queen Elizabeth's youngest son, Prince Edward. Princess Diana died on Aug. 31, 1997, at age 36, following a car accident in Paris, and she was honored in a Westminster Abbey service attended by over 2,000 people. It was estimated that about a million people lined the route of her funeral cortege through London, while another two billion people watched on television. Two years later, Prince Edward and Sophie announced their engagement in January 1999 and tied the knot at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle on June 19, 1999, officially bringing her into the royal fold. Can't get enough of PEOPLE's Royals coverage? to get the latest updates on Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle and more! Sophie embraced a full-time working royal alongside her husband, with whom she went on to welcome two children — daughter Lady Louise Windsor, 21, and son James, Earl of Wessex, 17 — and has focused her royal work on supporting people with disabilities, the elimination of avoidable blindness, advocating for survivors of sexual conflict and more.
