Ozzy Osbourne's sisters pay tribute to their ‘loving and funny' brother after rock legend's death aged 76
The Black Sabbath star's death came just weeks after he took to the stage one final time with his band mates at Villa Park in Birmingham.
Jean Powell, 85, and Gillian Hemming, 80, were left devastated when they learned about the rock icon's death.
They described Ozzy as 'loving and funny' as they reminisced on his legacy as a brother and celebrity.
Jean told the Mirror: 'We saw him in Birmingham the other week when he and the rest of the band were given the freedom of the city.
'It was upsetting because he could not stand up straight, but he was still our John, still cracking the jokes.
"To us he was our brother, not a celebrity, so it's crazy to see the outpouring of love since his death was announced."

One Tree Hill star Jana Kramer reacts to rumor her husband Allan Russell is on the Bumble dating app
Jana Kramer says she isn't worried about rumors her husband is stepping out on her. The 72 Hours actress, whose husband Allan Russell, 41, revealed some very personal information about their sex life, opened up about the issue Monday in her Whine Down podcast. 'I literally trust Allan so much. Did you get the email about Bumble?' Kramer, 41, asked her co-host, claiming that someone had been impersonating the former Scottish soccer player on the dating app. 'Remember how there was this thing going around being like, "Oh, Allan is on a dating app?" And Allan and I were joking about it. It's hilarious,' she said. Showing her trust in her husband, she said, 'But I wouldn't even look into that now. In years past, I would have 1,000 percent looked into it.' However, the One Tree Hill alumna said there is still some cause for concern, as there is allegedly ''a fake Bumble account going around and they're using his picture.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jana Kramer (@kramergirl) She explained, 'There's not a piece of me' that believes the rumors. Kramer said her marriage to Russell is 'so different than my last one' to former Buffalo Bills tight-end Mike Caussin, 38, who was unfaithful to her several times and eventually entered into treatment for sex addiction. The couple were married from 2015–2021, and they share two children: Jolie, nine, and Jace, six. Kramer's first marriage to Michael Gambino, 47, was a violent one. Gambino was convicted on attempted murder charges after a 2005 incident in which he choked the actress until she was unconscious. He was released in 2010 and took his own life two years later. She shared a short-lived one-month marriage with That Thing You Do actor Johnathon Schaech in 2010. Kramer began dating Russell is January 2023, and by November of that year they had welcomed their son Roman, 21 months. They married legally in January 2024 and held a formal ceremony in July. 'Happy 1st wedding anniversary my love,' Kramer wrote on social media last month sharing photos from their big day. 'It's been a year full of love, growth, and adventure. Thank you for loving me the way you do and for making this first year more beautiful than I ever imagined. I wouldn't want to do life with anyone else. Happy anniversary my love.' 'We have everything to last,' she said Monday of her relationship with Russell. 'I didn't have anything to hold on to in my last marriages. So that's why it's so different. So, it's like, hold on now to what you know to be the truth of what you do have.'

I tried James Dyson's new hair oil. Is it as good as his hairdryer?
He's the British megabrain whose £300 vacuum cleaner-inspired hairdryer put lesser rivals to shame but can James Dyson convince us to switch up the products we use to nourish our locks? The inventor has dabbled with hair products before, in the form of his Chitosan styling cream, but his latest innovation is perhaps the buzziest beauty launch of the year so far. • Read more beauty product reviews and advice from our experts Dyson Omega hair oil is a blend of seven omega-rich oils, one of which is sourced from sunflowers grown on his Lancashire farm. Provenance has long been a buzzword in the food world; Dyson appears to be banking on it catching on in — and disrupting — the beauty aisles. It will cost £45.99 for what looks like a 30ml glass perfume bottle and is part of a new range that includes a £59.99 leave-in conditioning spray. They won't be launched until August 27 but I managed to secure both products before their global unveiling and I'm putting each to the test. First I spritz the leave-in spray on after a shampoo and a quick towel-dry. It's lightweight and silky. I find that the knots come away easily when I then run my hairbrush through it: big tick. There's no sticky residue and, even damp, my hair feels soft and workable. It smells nice but not remarkable. That's no bad thing — there's no hair health science behind a nice scent. I'd happily leave it there on a normal day — air-dried hair is a bit cooler than full blow-outs at the mo — but I'm keen to see how the spray reacts with heat. With my usual finger zhuzhing, paddle brush and hairdryer handiwork, it dries straight, smooth and with a nice bit of volume. In short, it does its job. • Summer's richest pickings in the M&S cyber-fallout sale Next, the hair oil. It can be used on damp hair but I'm more interested in what it adds post-styling. I work 3-4 drops through my hair, paying particular attention to the ends and more frizz-prone undergrowth. Again, it's effective: my hair looks shiny and smooth, and isn't weighed down. There are no flyaways. My husband pays it a compliment as we pass in the kitchen. However, I'm not entirely convinced it's transformative. I suspect it's only Dyson fanatics who won't think twice about parting with nearly £50 for it. Still, given that over the past decade Dyson's hairstyling tools have so thoroughly crowbarred themselves into blow-dry routines globally — the Supersonic hairdryer (£329) and Airwrap curler (£400) in particular — and are the bestselling hair electricals at John Lewis, there are plenty of those fanatics around. Join us on Thursday October 16 for an evening with legendary makeup artist and entrepreneur Bobbi Brown. Find out more and book tickets here.

Matt Willis reveals huge setback of hosting Love Is Blind ahead of series two as wife Emma shares health update after op
AFTER 25 years of being best-known as Busted's bassist, Matt Willis now has new global fame. Fronting Netflix's Love Is Blind UK, with wife Emma, seems to have eclipsed his band's success of four chart-topping singles and a number one album in just one year. 2 Matt said with a laugh: 'Busted did a tour at the end of last year, we did Australia, Japan, Mexico and Brazil. 'And we had a few people turn up and go, 'We didn't know you were in a band. We know you from Love Is Blind, so we thought we'd come and see your band'. 'I was like, 'Cool, welcome'. I love it.' Matt and Emma are back to present a second series of the show that follows singles who try to find their perfect partner, sight unseen, to get engaged and marry on the show. It is Emma's first big project on screen since undergoing keyhole surgery earlier this year to repair a hole in her heart. Love Is Blind UK was filmed last year and now she is well enough to be out promoting the run. She said: 'It's really nice to be back. It was nice to have a little time off to recover and focus on what I needed to do. But now it's full steam ahead and back to work, which is nice.' Two couples from series one are still happily married, so are Matt and Emma worried about delivering on series two, which drops on Netflix from August 13? Emma said: 'We filmed it straight after the reunion for series one so the characters from season one were so fresh. I was like, 'How are we ever going to match that?' ' Matt added: 'Watching it happen, being part of the show, you're just rooting for them.' Love is Blind UK podcast gets a new host Despite the trend for shows to have celebrity spin-offs, Emma doesn't think that could ever work here. She said: 'You'd constantly be trying to guess who it was, wouldn't you? 'There'd be certain people that you'd absolutely know who it was. Imagine if Rylan was in there, or Alan Carr. 'You'd be like, 'That's f***ing Rylan!' ' 2
