Ozzy Osbourne's reality TV crew ‘mourning' rock legend's death
Ozzy Osbourne's former reality TV crew is grieving the heavy metal icon after his shocking death at 76. Cameron Glendenning, who worked as a camera operator and technical supervisor on 'The Osbournes' from the end of its first season in 2002 to its fourth and final in 2005, broke his silence shortly after the Black Sabbath legend's passing. 'I'm definitely mourning,' Glendenning exclusively told The Post in a phone interview. 'But I also have a huge feeling of gratitude just for being a part of that crazy time and place, and just being around a person like Ozzy was just so incredibly rewarding to me, especially in my earlier life.'

'I just texted Greg [Johnston] to offer my sympathies because I know Greg would be hurting a lot today,' he said. 'My friend Lucas [O'Brien] is in Miami now, and he reached out just kind of reminiscing a little bit.' 11 The Black Sabbath legend in 'Biography: The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne' (2020).

'We all still talk very regularly. We definitely created a family on that show. It was really special. It really was.' As for his time filming 'The Osbournes,' Glendenning said that he never took the experience for granted. 11 A shot of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne from 'The Osbournes.' ©MTV/Courtesy Everett Collection Advertisement 11 Ozzy Osbourne and Cameron Glendenning having fun while shooting 'The Osbournes.'

After working on 'The Osbournes' in 2005, Glendenning later reunited with the 'Crazy Train' singer in 2020 when he served as the cinematographer for 'Biography: The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne.' Even though nearly 15 years had passed, Glendenning said that Ozzy never changed. 11 Ozzy Osbourne during Season 1 of 'The Osbournes.' ©MTV/Courtesy Everett Collection 'He was such a working-class kid, and he was so down to earth, and he remained that way forever,' Glendenning shared. 'Even after attaining the status that he grew to have, he was always that same person.' 'He never made you feel anything less than an equal,' Glendenning continued. 'I was 25 years old, I think, when I first started working with him. And I was a kid, man, and I was looking at a guy that had been a legend for 40 years already at that point.' 'He was just open-eyed. He wanted to have fun. It could have been me, or it could have been the president of Sony Records. It didn't matter. That's what was so cool about Ozzy. He was just totally down to earth.'

'He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time,' they added. The statement was signed by Ozzy's wife of over 40 years, Sharon Osbourne, and four of the 'War Pigs' singer's six children, including Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.

I think we're all definitely mourning him,' Glendenning told The Post. 'There's not much that I could say that would be of comfort to them other than to maybe just show them how much he meant to everybody that he touched, like all of us that worked for them and how much we all still care about them as a family,' he added. 'And that's for real good reasons,' Glendenning concluded. 'That's cause they deserve it.'

‘State Change' by Molly Joyce and ‘Preludes' by Teddy Abrams Review: Adaptation and Allusion
In the early days of electronic music, the prevailing belief among most composers and listeners was that the new genre would be self-contained, distinct from traditional instrumental and vocal music. The performance venue, in most cases, was a studio rather than a concert hall, and composition was a matter of creating or collecting sounds and then juxtaposing and sequencing them into aural collages, rather than notating abstractly for others to execute at another time and place. That seems an almost quaint notion today. Though pure electronic music is by no means extinct, the real momentum in the genre now—thanks in large part to laptop computers and software created to take advantage of their portability and flexibility—is in live performance combining acoustic instruments (or voices) and electronic sound. And as new recordings by the composers Molly Joyce and Teddy Abrams demonstrate, these hybrids offer an enormous expressive range.

Jim Legxacy Makes Music That Sounds Like Memory
When it came time to share the release announcement for his new album earlier this month, Jim Legxacy was sitting on the bulbous black leather couch inside his family's modest apartment in the Lewisham area of London, posting the info himself. For a few minutes, he was fully absorbed in his phone. 'My head is on fire, bro,' he gasped, excited at the intensity of the response. Texts and calls were coming in. His Discord channel was losing it. Bingo, the family's mini dachshund, wandered around the room, looking for a rope to gnaw on. 'I'm not a celebrity yet — I'm still on the ground level,' he said a little bit later in the afternoon, getting some air after the thrill of sharing the news had subsided a touch. He was dressed plainly, all in black, no extravagances besides a crisp pair of red and black Nike Shox R4. 'I still live here. I'm with the people, so it's like why would I try to like auramaxx, or like, try and pretend there's a gap, bro? There's not a gap.' And yet just a couple of weeks earlier, Legxacy, 25, had been walking these same streets alongside Dave, one of the country's most revered rappers, filming scenes for the video for '3x,' their collaboration from Legxacy's new album, 'Black British Music (2025).' 'They was in shock,' he said of his neighbors. 'It was like Tupac, bro, it was mad.' Being able to bring one of England's biggest stars to a quiet street in southeast London would suggest that Legxacy — born James Olaloye — already has capacities far beyond the circumstances of his raising.
