10 songs to memorialize Ozzy Osbourne, the great Black Sabbath frontman

There are pioneering music figures, and then there is Ozzy Osbourne, the larger-than-life frontman of Black Sabbath, whose personal mythology is eclipsed only by the strength and immortality of his songs. A godfather and force of heavy metal, Osbourne died Tuesday at 76, just months after his last performance. The English icon's idiosyncratic, throaty voice launched generations of metalheads, both through his work at the reins of Black Sabbath and in his solo career. Across his repertoire, there are songs with total global ubiquity and lesser-known innovations with his unique, spooky aesthetic quality. To celebrate Osbourne's life and legacy, we've selected just a few songs that made the man, from timeless tunes to a few left-of-center selections. Read on and then listen to all of the tracks on our Spotify playlist. 1970: 'Iron Man,' Black Sabbath It would be a challenge to name a more immediately recognizable guitar riff than the one that launches Black Sabbath's 1970 megahit 'Iron Man.' It transcends the metal genre — an all-timer heard around the world and in guitar stores everywhere. 1970: 'War Pigs,' Black Sabbath One of the great Vietnam War protest songs, Black Sabbath's 'War Pigs' is a rare moment where hippies and metalheads can agree: 'Politicians hide themselves away / They only started the war / Why should they go out to fight?' Osbourne sings in the bridge. 1971: 'Children of the Grave,' Black Sabbath Osbourne's heaviest performances are at least partially indebted to Black Sabbath's bassist and lyricist Terry 'Geezer' Butler, and there is perhaps no better example than 'Children of the Grave,' the single from the band's 1971 album, 'Master of Reality.' 'Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear?' Osbourne embodies Butler's words, a sonic fist lifted in the air. 'Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear?' 1973: 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath,' Black Sabbath Black Sabbath were in a creative rut in the time period leading up to 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath,' the opening track from their 1973 album of the same name. It's almost hard to believe now — the song features one of their best-known riffs, and its chorus features some truly ascendant vocals. 1980: 'Crazy Train,' Ozzy Osbourne Would the world know what a vibraslap sounds like without the immediately recognizable introduction to Osbourne's first solo single, 'Crazy Train?' To call it a classic is almost a disservice — it is an addicting tune, complete with chugging guitars and Cold War-era fears. 1980: 'Mr. Crowley,' Ozzy Osbourne Another classic cut from Osbourne's debut solo album, 'Blizzard Of Ozz' — released one year after Osbourne was fired from Black Sabbath for his legendary excesses, — the arena rock anthem 'Mr. Crowley' pays tribute to the famed English occultist Aleister Crowley and features Deep Purple's Don Airey on keyboard. 1981: 'Diary of a Madman,' Ozzy Osbourne The title track and coda of Osbourne's second solo studio album, 'Diary of a Madman,' runs over six minutes long, features big strings and a choir so theatrical it sounds like they're scoring a medieval war film. He wanted big, he wanted dramatic, and he nailed it. 1991: 'Mama, I'm Coming Home,' Ozzy Osbourne It wouldn't be inaccurate to call 'Mama, I'm Coming Home' a beautiful-sounding song. It's unlike anything on this list, a power ballad featuring lyrics written by the late Motörhead frontman Lemmy and a welcomed deviation. 1992: 'I,' Black Sabbath When Black Sabbath comes to mind, most fans jump to an unimpeachable run of albums released in the '70s and early '80s. But 'I,' a cut from Black Sabbath's too often overlooked 16th studio album, 'Dehumanizer,' is worth your ear. And not only because it is the first Sabbath album to feature singer Ronnie James Dio and drummer Vinny Appice since 1981's 'Mob Rules,' though that's an obvious plus. 2019: 'Take What You Want,' Post Malone with Ozzy Osbourne and Travis Scott Late in life Ozzy Osbourne was generous with his time and talent, often collaborating with younger performers who idolized the metal legend. One such example is Post Malone's 'Take What You Want,' which also features the rapper Travis Scott. Osbourne gives the song a necessary gothic edge — validating the otherwise balladic song's use of a sprightly guitar solo.

Axed Love Islander Andrada reveals villa feud is worse than fans see on TV after furious row with Meg

AXED Love Island star Andrada revealed a villa feud is worse than what fans see on TV. Irish bombshell Andrada, 27, was dumped from the ITV2 villa alongside OG Islander Ben. 4 Andrada and Meg clashed in the villa Credit: Eroteme 4 OG Islander Meg arrived on the first day Credit: Eroteme 4 Ben and Andrada were axed together after being voted 'least compatible' Credit: Eroteme The couple recently appeared on podcast Love Island: The Morning After. During the episode, Andrada opened up about joining the Islanders following her arrival in Casa Amor. She addressed the villa girls' pre-existing groups of Helena & Meg, as well as Shakira, Toni & Yasmin. Asked whether the Casa girls became their own group, Andrada shared: "You were able to join the other groups. "You know, [Shakira and Toni] did even say like, "Thank God you came in because [you all] are a great addition to the team. "Everyone was just so lovely - they were very, very welcoming." It comes as Andrada branded former co-star Dejon as "calculated" after he led her on and backtracked. Dejon grew close to Andrada in Casa Amor, calling her "babygirl" and saying she was the "best bombshell" they'd had. When they returned to the villa Dejon admitted he was still "open" and wanted to carry on getting to know her. But after a heated conversation with Meg, where she issued him an ultimatum, Dejon was forced to make a U-turn and shut things down with Andrada. Love Island's Ben admits he's had a 'reality check' after fans branded him 'vile' Speaking in her exit interview, Andrada said: "Dejon is a very smart and calculated guy who knows how and when to use his words. "We would have a flirty conversation wherein he'd ask me a question, I'd answer it, then I'd return the same question but he wouldn't answer because it would make him look bad. "When we got back into the main Villa, he was still open but then Meg got on his back and was upset. Then he shut it off. "I don't think that he shut it off because he wanted to, he did it because Meg told him so. "I definitely feel like things would have been very different if she wasn't there." Andrada and Ben were sent packing after the public voted them the least compatible couple. Speaking about her future with Ben, she said: "We want to see where things go because we get along very well. "There's nothing I can fault about the guy. He's a gentleman and treats me like a princess." Love Island airs on ITV2 and ITVX.

Noughties throwback fashion trend Victoria Beckham & J-Lo loved is back in style for summer – here's how to wear it

FROM low-rise jeans to tiny bags and enough denim to kit out a whole pop group, it seems that Noughties fashion has officially made a comeback. Now, adding to the collection, one of the decade's coolest and easiest accessories is officially back for summer: the humble-yet-chic headscarf or bandana. 9 9 This iconic accessory, championed by everyone from pop princesses to fashion royalty back in the early 2000s, is making a serious comeback, and we are absolutely here for it. None other than fashion icon Victoria Beckham and the one and only Jennifer Lopez were big fans of the look. Victoria often opted for sleek, almost minimalist bandanas tied neatly at the nape, adding a touch of understated cool to her polished outfits. J-Lo, on the other hand, made them part of her signature Bronx-goddess aesthetic, often pairing them with crop tops, low-slung jeans, and a whole lotta sparkle. And more recently, A-list celebrities are choosing to bring it back. The bandana is seriously buzzing, currently trending on TikTok with a whopping 312.7k hashtags. Influencers are rocking them with bikinis on the beach and chic summer dresses to the pub, making them the ultimate versatile summer staple. They are even doing tutorials on how best to wear them as well. The buying team at Claire's Accessories reports that, to meet demand, its next collection will contain five more ranges. Dunnes Stores fans go wild for new summer dresses It's affordable, versatile, and instantly elevates any summer look. Plus, it's brilliant for those humid days when your hair has a mind of its own, or to protect your scalp from the glorious (but strong!) summer sun. Fashion experts recommend opting for lightweight cotton for casual, laid-back vibes, or going for luxurious silk for a touch of sophisticated glam. Don't be afraid to experiment with patterns - paisley prints are true Noughties nostalgia, but bold florals and block colours are just as fabulous. 9 9 9 Where you can buy bandana's for cheap ASOS: Check their own ASOS DESIGN accessories, particularly in the sales section, for on-trend and affordable bandanas and headscarves.

She went for a brown theme, with a bandana that featured gold details, accessorising with sunglasses. Not one to miss out on a trend is Hailey Bieber. In true model form, the 28-year-old has styled herself in a bandana more than a couple of times - she even wears it over a cap. Keeping up with the trends as usual is Kendall Jenner, 29. 9 9 Earlier this year she went for a relaxed look, wearing dungarees, Birkenstocks and a bandana. So, just like Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid, those who are up for jumping on the trend shouldn't be afraid to experiment with patterns. How to style your bandana's The Classic Bandana Fold: Fold a square bandana into a triangle. Place the longest edge across your forehead (or slightly further back if you prefer), letting the point hang down your back. Tie the two ends neatly at the nape of your neck, either over or under the point. Leave a few wispy bits of hair out around your face for that effortlessly cool vibe. Perfect for beach days or festival fun! The Headband Hero: Fold your scarf or bandana into a narrow strip. Place it over your head like a headband, tying it either at the back under your hair, or on top in a cute little bow for a more playful look. This is brilliant for keeping hair off your face and adding a pop of colour. Ponytail Perfection: Elevate your everyday ponytail or bun by simply tying a colourful scarf around its base. Let the ends hang loose for a chic, flowing finish. Instant upgrade! Chic Neck Know-How: For a touch of Parisian chic rather than beach babe, tie a smaller, silkier scarf loosely around your neck. It adds an instant dash of elegance to a simple tee or a summer dress. Bag Bling: Not ready to commit to wearing it in your hair? No worries! Tie a vibrant bandana to the strap of your favourite handbag. It's a quick, easy way to inject some summer personality into your accessories.
