Ozzy Osbourne Has Huge Plans Following Final Black Sabbath Show
Ozzy Osbourne plans to cap off his long-awaited final Black Sabbath show with… a fan appearance? In July, the legendary rocker, 76, will appear with his family at Comic Con Midlands, according to Kerrang.
The Osbourne patriarch, his wife, Sharon, and kids, Jack and Kelly, will be special guests at the convention at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC ) in Birmingham, England, the week after Osbourne performs the Back To The Beginning concert with Black Sabbath. Comic Con Midlands runs July 12-13 in the Osbournes' hometown.
Tickets to see the Osbournes will be available 'soon,' a teaser for the event promised.
News of the appearance is a bit of a surprise given Osbourne's recent comments about how his declining health has impacted preparations for his final show. The singer, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2003, recently revealed on Sirius XM's "Ozzy Speaks" that he will give 'everything [he's] got' for the final concert.
'By hook or by crook, I am going to make this f---ing gig if it is the last thing I do. Well, it will be,' the 'Iron Man' singer said. 'I will have done the show and died a death before I even started my exercises ... but all I can say is I'm giving 120 percent. If my God wants me to do the show, I'll do it."
The Back to the Beginning concert will take place at Villa Park in Aston, Birmingham on July 5. Osbourne will reunite with his Black Sabbath bandmates, bassist Geezer Butler, guitarist Tony Iommi, and drummer Bill Ward for the first time in 20 years for the landmark concert. The show will also serve as Osbourne's final live performance ever.Ozzy Osbourne Has Huge Plans Following Final Black Sabbath Show first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 2, 2025

Tony Iommi Charts His First Solo Top 40 Hit Thanks To An Unlikely Feature
Tony Iommi joins Robbie Williams on 'Rocket,' earning his first solo top 40 hit in the United ... More Kingdom on multiple sales charts. Guitarist Tony Iommi is shown performing on stage during a live concert appearance with Black Sabbath on August 8, 2013. (Photo by)"n Tony Iommi is regarded as a god in the rock world, and has been for decades. He first rose to prominence as one of the founding members of Black Sabbath and, for years, he helped bring heavy metal to the masses with his signature guitar sound. While he's primarily known for his work with that group, Iommi does occasionally release music under his own name. The superstar scores a hit song in his home country of the United Kingdom this week by teaming up with a somewhat surprising figure. Iommi earns a top 40 hit on both the Official Singles Downloads and Official Singles Sales charts this frame. He joins Robbie Williams on the track "Rocket," which opens at Nos. 34 and 36, respectively, on those tallies, becoming a top 40 bestseller in the nation. It appears that "Rocket" is Iommi's first solo hit on both of those rankings. As a member of Black Sabbath, he's only reached the lists once, as "Paranoid" spent one frame on the rosters in August 2022. Of course, it's worth mentioning that these tallies didn't exist during the heyday of the heavy metal act. Iommi has landed more than one solo placement on the Official Rock & Metal Albums roster with his solo collections, but those titles didn't produce any hit songs across the Atlantic. "Rocket" serves as the lead single from Williams's upcoming album Britpop. It's interesting that the first taste of a full-length named after a style of pop music from the U.K. wouldn't typically be classified under that genre, and would feature one of the most recognizable figures in metal — but that's Williams, playing another one of his jokes. While Iommi may be new to these rankings, Williams has already scored a number of hits. The pop icon has racked up a dozen smashes on the Official Singles Sales chart and well over two dozen on the Official Singles Downloads list. A top 40 start is impressive for Iommi but rather low for Williams, one of the most successful pop stars in U.K. history. The tune doesn't reach the main list of the most consumed songs — the Official Singles chart — at least not yet, which is a bit disappointing.

Teacher, poet, and entrepreneur: Who was slain hostage Judith Weinstein Haggai?
Judy was volunteering on the kibbutz when she heard Gadi playing the flute and fell in love, the kibbutz said. The body of hostage Judith Weinstein Haggai, a 70-year-old member of Kibbutz Nir Oz, was returned to Israel early Thursday morning, the IDF announced. She and her husband, Gadi Haggai, were killed on October 7, 2023, and their bodies were taken to Gaza. Judy was 70 years old, a mother of four, and a grandmother of seven. She was an English teacher specializing in children with special needs, and she worked with children with anxiety by using meditation and mindfulness methods. She was a poet and entrepreneur, and was dedicated to working for peace and brotherhood, her kibbutz said. "Judi Weinstein Haggai had a habit of writing haiku every morning - a poem of one or two sentences - and posting it on Facebook," Kibbutz Nir Oz said on Instagram. "The last one she wrote was on October 7th. The poems she wrote over the years were published in poetry books." 'We welcome the closure that we have been granted and the return for burial of our loved ones, who went out for a walk on that Black Sabbath morning and never came back," the Weinstein Haggai family said Thursday. Nir Oz thanked the IDF and security forces who carried out the complex rescue operation. They also thanked "everyone who supported, struggled, prayed, and fought for us and for all of Israel," as well as the FBI, and the US and Israeli governments. "However, our hearts will not be whole until all 12 hostages from Nir Oz and all 56 hostages in total are brought back," the statement concluded. Judy and Gadi were the "power couple of Kibbutz Nir Oz." Judy was volunteering on the kibbutz when she heard Gadi playing the flute and fell in love, the kibbutz said. "They complete each other: he's a goofball, just like a little kid, always dancing and laughing, while Judy is an English teacher, taking care of children, and sharing meditation and mindfulness techniques," the kibbutz said. Haggai and his wife had been out walking early on October 7 when Hamas terrorists attacked them according to the Hostage Family Forum. Their daughter, Iris, heard in a phone call that they were hiding and that her father was injured and later lost contact with them. The terrorists kidnapped both of them and took them to Gaza.
