Jackass star Bam Margera spots eerie shape of Hulk Hogan in the clouds at WWE icon's funeral
Jackass star has posted an eerie tribute to Hulk Hogan from outside the WWE legend's funeral in Florida. The wrestling icon's friends and family gathered on Tuesday for a funeral to commemorate his life following his death last month. The service is believed to have taken place at Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Largo, Florida. Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, died from a cardiac arrest on July 24 and was also fighting leukemia at the time of his passing. He had been taken ill at his home in Clearwater, Florida before being pronounced dead in hospital. Mourners arrived at the church - which is located around seven miles south of his Clearwater home - Tuesday to say their final farewells to the wrestling legend. One of those was Margera, a stunt performer and skateboarder, and he noticed a cloud pattern above the church in Largo that looked eerily like an image of Hogan performing his iconic pose. The outline of the clouds resembled Hogan posing with his right bicep curled and his left arm extended, a familiar sight to the millions of wrestling fans who followed his career. Margera captioned the posted: 'The cloud outside of Hulk Hogan's funeral at Indian Rocks, Fl. Wow! You see what I see?? If this isn't a sign then I don't know what is'. Last month, Margera admitted to having a 'really rough week' as he mourned the loss of both Hogan and Ozzy Osbourne. The WWE icon passed away just two days after the Black Sabbath singer died at the age of 76. Margera, 45, paid emotional tributes to both the late stars on his Instagram page - and further opened up about their 'shocking' deaths while talking to TMZ. 'It's been a really rough week,' he told the outlet while joined by his wife Dannii Marie. 'Especially with the Hogans. My heart goes out to all of them.' Margera then recalled recently spending the winter down in Florida with Hogan and his family while he 'skated with the pros.' The MTV star said he had crossed paths with Hogan one day who was 'walking around with a cane' and when he mentioned Marie was a stretch therapist, the wrestler said that was something he needed. 'So, we pretty much stayed in Florida the whole winter for the Hogans.' Margera shared memorable moments they had together, including karaoke nights on Mondays which they did 'all the time.' Margera got a chance to say a final farewell to Hogan on Tuesday and was among some of the high-profile mourners in Florida. A hearse carrying Hogan's coffin pulled up outside the place of worship before eight pallbearers carried him into the church. The pallbearers paid an emotional tribute to Hogan as they sported yellow roses on the lapels of their black suit jackets - a nod to the bright color the late wrestler famously wore during his career in the ring. Hogan's ex-wife Linda, who was married to the wrestler from 1983 to 2009, was seen exiting the service, despite their differences in the months before his death. Linda, who shares daughter Brooke, 37, and son Nick, 35, with the late Hogan, accused her former husband of being a 'complete liar' and 'sex addict' in a video back in March. She also claimed their family is 'in the worst mess' after Brooke cut both parents out of her life. Triple H, Kid Rock and Ric Flair were among the notable attendees paying their respects to Bollea and Flair, who himself has been fighting skin cancer recently, paid a heartfelt tribute to his old friend after the service. 'Even In Heaven, He Sold Out Again,' Flair, 76, wrote. 'The Most Beautiful Funeral I've Ever Attended! EVERYONE Was There. 'From Kid Rock to Triple H, to Vince McMahon to Dennis Rodman. The Whole World Showed Up To Pay Respect To The Greatest Of Them All! Rest In Peace Hulkster!' Hogan's daughter-in-law, Tana Lea, paid a heartfelt tribute to the father of her husband, Nick. 'Today was beautiful and I know you have loved having all your favorite people together, celebrating you! We love you big dawg, forever and always,' she wrote. According to his death certificate, he is going to be cremated at Pinellas County Forensic Center in Clearwater, though a specific date has not yet been announced for that. After the service, many of the WWE icon's friends went to Hogan's Hangout, a bar in Clearwater that celebrates the wrestler. President Trump, who Hogan campaigned for at Madison Square Garden last October before the election, did not attend. But he shared a picture of him arm wrestling his old friend on Instagram and wrote: 'They are having the "Hulkster's" funeral today, and I thought everybody would enjoy seeing this picture.' Hogan's estranged daughter, Brooke, meanwhile, held a personal tribute to her late dad. 'My father hated the morbidity of funerals. He didn't want one,' Brooke, 37, explained on Instagram Tuesday evening. 'And although I know people grieve in many ways - and I'm so grateful for all celebrations and events organized to honor him, as his daughter, I had to make my own decision to honor him the best way I knew way that made me feel the closest to him. The only thing missing today was him in is pop up lawn chair watching the waves... and the sunset.'

Jack Osbourne expresses ‘sorrow and gratitude' after death of father Ozzy
Jack Osbourne has paid tribute to his father, Ozzy, and said his heart is filled with 'love and gratitude' as well as 'sadness and sorrow' following the rock star's death. The Black Sabbath frontman, who had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019, died aged 76 on July 22nd from a reported heart attack. Advertisement Osbourne, his mother Sharon and siblings Aimee and Kelly, joined fans in laying flowers at the Black Sabbath bench in his home city of Birmingham last week. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jack Osbourne (@jackosbourne) In an Instagram post, Osbourne said: 'I haven't really wanted to post anything since the passing of my father. My heart has hurt too much. 'I'm gonna keep this short because he certainly hated long rambling speeches. He was so many things to so many people, but I was so lucky and blessed to be apart of a very small group that got to call him 'Dad'. 'My heart is full of so much sadness and sorrow, but also so much love and gratitude. I got 14,501 days with that man and I know that is such a blessing.' Advertisement Osbourne said a quote from US journalist and author Hunter S Thompson summed up his father, who 'lived his life fully'. He wrote: 'Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body… but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'Wow! What a ride!'.' His message was accompanied by a video that featured Ozzy's song So Tired, and showed pictures and videos of the father and son with members of their family. On Tuesday, Birmingham Museum And Art Gallery announced it would be extending its Ozzy Osbourne exhibition to the end of 2025 due to public demand. Advertisement Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero, which was originally due to end on September 28, was opened by former X Factor judge Sharon on June 25 to coincide with the band's July 5 homecoming farewell concert at Villa Park. The free exhibition showcases Ozzy's honours including Grammys, MTV Awards and Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame accolades. Kelly, Sharon and Jack Osbourne, view the messages and floral tributes left at the Black Sabbath Bridge bench (Joe Giddens/PA) Birmingham City Council began gathering up tributes left at the Black Sabbath bench on Monday, which will be stored and then handed over to the Osbourne family. The family viewed the tributes last Wednesday during a procession in which the heavy metal star's body was carried through his home city a final time. Advertisement Kelly Osbourne thanked fans for their support in a social media post and said the beautiful messages she received 'have truly helped carry me through the hardest moment of my life'. The siblings featured in the 2000s MTV reality show The Osbournes that shone a spotlight on the family's domestic life, although their older sister Aimee opted not to take part. Ozzy died just over two weeks after Black Sabbath were reunited barely two miles from where they first played together more than 50 years ago. The Back to the Beginning benefit concert saw performances from the likes of Anthrax, Metallica, Yungblud and Guns N' Roses. Advertisement The singer and his Black Sabbath bandmates – Terence 'Geezer' Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward, were the last to appear on stage as part of the star-studded line-up. The group who formed in 1968 and were known for songs including War Pigs and Paranoid, were given the freedom of the city of Birmingham in June, which recognises people's exceptional service to the city.
