Generate Key Takeaways Geezer Butler, the founding bassist of Black Sabbath, revealed how the band's final concert came together weeks before Ozzy Osbourne's death. In a tribute written for the Times of London, Butler said he was initially taken aback by Osbourne's appearance when the band came in for rehearsals. 'I knew he wasn't in good health, but I wasn't prepared to see how frail he was,' Butler shared, in an otherwise glowing tribute to his longtime bandmate. 'He was helped into the rehearsal room by two helpers and a nurse and was using a cane — being Ozzy, the cane was black and studded with gold and precious stones.' Butler said that Osbournce became exhausted 'after six or seven songs' and was 'really quiet compared to the Ozzy of old.' The concert on July 5 was still a massive success, with bands indebted to Sabbath performing before a double set of Osbourne's solo material and Black Sabbath's biggest hits. Osbourne died on July 22, after a years-long battle with Parkinson's disease. Butler shared his appreciation that he got to play one last time with a nearly lifelong friend. 'Nobody knew he'd be gone from us little more than two weeks after the final show. But I am so grateful we got to play one last time together in front of his beloved fans. The love from the fans and all the bands, musicians, singers and solo artists that night was incredible,' he wrote. 'Everyone had come to pay homage to the Prince. I am so privileged to have spent most of my life with him.' The post Osbourne's Black Sabbath bandmate 'wasn't prepared' for how frail he appeared before final show appeared first on

Nike Kobe 4 ‘FC Barcelona' official release details

The post Nike Kobe 4 'FC Barcelona' official release details appeared first on ClutchPoints. Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant never hid his affinity towards the game of futbol, particularly for the blue and red colors of FC Barcelona. In the past, we've even seen Bryant debut his signature Nike Kobe sneakers in colorways to match the current Barcelona uniforms. In keeping tradition, Nike will release an all-new Nike Kobe 4 Protro clad with FC Barcelona spirit in memory of the late NBA great. Check our Sneakers news for more upcoming releases and breaking content! Spending time in Europe during his youth, Bryant grew up around soccer and naturally took part at points throughout his life. During his playing days, Kobe chose to support FC Barcelona and was even great friends with legendary player Ronaldinho through their connections at Nike. In 2011, Nike released an FC Barcelona pack of the Nike Kobe 6, both currently fetching upwards of $8,000 on the aftermarket. Now, we'll see Nike honor Bryant's fandom once again in releasing a Nike Kobe 4 Protro and Air Force 1 in unison with the release of Barcelona's third kit for the upcoming season. Opting for beige and purple hues, the Nike Kobe 4 is a perfect match to the uniform and brings back fond memories of this collaboration for Kobe fans. Nike Kobe 4 Protro 'FC Barcelona' In accordance with Barcelona's third kit, the Kobe 4 will arrive in Team Gold/Black-Persian Violet for a very clean transition to a sneaker colorway. The uppers will be done in pale gold with snakeskin texturing along the toe and ankle collar. The Nike Swoosh is done in black to match the heel cap, but outlined in violet to match the outsole and sockliner. We see a gradient hue as the midsole transitions from violet to gold, accented by Bryant's signature on the heel cap. The numbers 8 and 24 are embossed into the heel of each shoe as we see a violet Mamba logo on both tongues. An FC Barcelona touch is added with their logo on the front lacelock, the insole, and in violet on the back of the tongue. The Nike Kobe 4 FC Barcelona is expected to release during Fall 2025 with July 31 swirling around as a potential drop date. The sneakers will release alongside a Nike FC Barcelona collection, complete with apparel and their official third kit to match.
