The estate is located in the parish of Chalfont St Peter, once named as one of the most expensive places to live in the UK. In 2022, it was revealed that the Osbournes planned to build a "rehabilitation wing" extension to the country estate as Ozzy battled Parkinson's. In the late 1990s, Ozzy and Sharon paid $US4 million for a Beverly Hills mansion that would later be featured in the popular reality TV show The Osbournes. They sold the property to pop star Christina Aguilera in 2013 for $11.5 million. In 2012, Ozzy and Sharon sold an oceanfront beach mansion in Malibu for about $8 million.

Home is where the heart is: Parkway Drive drummer lists lavish Byron Bay property
Loading content... More than two decades of playing heavy music has certainly paid off for Parkway Drive drummer Ben Gordon, who has re-listed his lavish Byron Bay home. The four-bedroom, three-bathroom house has a price guide of $9 million to $9.9 million. ARIA Award-winning Byron Bay products Parkway Drive are Australia's biggest heavy metal export, headlining major festivals both at home and overseas. In 2020, Parkway Drive were listed at No. 32 in Rolling Stone Australia's 50 Greatest Australian Artists of All Time issue. Set on 660 square metres, the home also features a basement-level gym and a separate home office. According to Cotality records, Gordon bought the home in 2019 for $2.45 million. Records show there were later development applications lodged for an extension/alteration and a swimming pool/spa. Cotality records show the property was previously listed for sale in March 2023 with an asking price of more than $10 million, and spent 43 days on the market. Records also show it was most recently listed for rent at $4000 per week in June 2023. The marketing describes the property as "undoubtedly one of Byron Bay's finest offerings", and it also includes expansive outdoor spaces, entertainment patios, a sunken fire-pit, a magnesium infinity pool and spa. "Positioned on one of Byron Bay's most exclusive and rarely offered ridgelines, this designer masterpiece captures stunning 180 degree views over Arakwal National Park to the azure of the Pacific Ocean and Broken Head and beyond," the property's marketing states. "The look of this home takes inspiration from the Mediterranean and is well laid out to provide a seamless in/outdoor lifestyle for the entertainer." Expressions of Interest for the property close on July 31. The metalcore act recently announced their own "Park Waves" festival will tour throughout Australia in 2026. The travelling festival, taking in most corners of the Australian mainland throughout February and March, will be headlined by Parkway Drive.

Credit: Supplied Australian metal juggernauts Parkway Drive are preparing to undertake a monumental music event no other band in Aussie touring history has attempted. The Byron Bay band has announced its curated travelling festival featuring a lineup including The Amity Affliction, bringing the Queensland rockers with them for the first time on home soil. The 16+ event will also see bands Northlane, Alpha Wolf and Story Of The Year take to the stage for 11 shows in February and March. Taking the festival to the next level, a big top with circus performers, carnival rides, sideshow alleys and food offerings is set to provide the ultimate experience for fans. All the action kicks off in Perth at Langley Park on February 14 and will tour the country, stopping in several cities from Adelaide to Toowoomba. Parkway Drive frontman Winston McCall said planning for the large-scale event had been years in the making and it was going to be 'mental'. 'This is the first time Parkway and Amity are combining for an Australian tour. I don't know if people realise how massive that actually is, because those are the two biggest Australian bands, like heavy bands literally, in the history of Australia, doing one tour together, it's going to be mental. It's going to be so sick,' he said. 'We can do a festival where it's just two Australian headliners, and when people compute how big they are, you're like, Yeah, we don't have to have an American band at the top for it to be legitimate. 'For 10 years, we've been getting people saying, Why don't you tour with Amity? I'm like, Wow, here it is. You have waited.' The bands arrive in Perth to perform on what coincidentally will be Valentine's Day, and McCall said he can't wait to be back in WA rocking out to the intense crowd. 'Perth was the last stop for us on the 20-year tour, and that show was absolutely mad,' he said. 'I don't know if other bands say this, but I find there to be a different energy in Perth, in terms of the intensity of the crowd. I think maybe due to the isolation because it's hard to get to, but I know it's going to be chaos.' With so many Aussie festivals having to pull the plug recently, McCall said the failing festival scene crossed his mind during the planning phase. But he said they could deliver due to the band's popularity increasing and appealing to all ages and regional cities. Camera Icon The Amity Affliction.

Parkway Drive have spent more than two decades forging a reputation as one of Australia's most successful exports, balancing their metalcore roots with everything from uncompromising ferocity through to raw melodies and traditional heavy metal. Catapulting from the shores of Byron Bay into global headliner status, Parkway Drive now have eight studio albums under their belt, millions of streams and multiple ARIA Music Awards. Parkway Drive's fan club will have access to tickets on Tuesday, July 22 at 9am. General tickets go on sale Thursday, July 24 at 10am.
