Jelly Roll Mourns Loss of Rock Legend With 6 Heartbreaking Words
"Forever grateful. Thank you for everything," the country music star captioned a photo of himself with Osbourne, posting on his Instagram stories.
In 2024, Jelly Roll paid tribute to Osbourne at the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Prior to the performance, Osbourne told Rolling Stone that he was delighted that the country music star would be taking part in his special day.
"Who doesn't love Jelly Roll? His voice is soulful, pure, and dirty. I'm so honored that someone would do this for me who I've never had the pleasure of meeting," Osbourne said.
Jelly Roll performed the Osbourne classic, "Mama, I'm Coming Home" at the induction ceremony. He was joined on stage by guitarist Zakk Wylde, who co-wrote the song.
Osbourne producer Andrew Watt was also on stage, as was Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo, who accompanied Jelly Roll at the time.
Osbourne died on July 22 at the age of 76. Though his cause of death has not yet been revealed, the rock legend had been dealing with a variety of health issues, including Parkinson's disease.
"It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time," the Osbourne family said in a statement, according to Variety.Jelly Roll Mourns Loss of Rock Legend With 6 Heartbreaking Words first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 24, 2025

WWE SmackDown takeaways: Hulk Hogan's 10-bell salute, huge SummerSlam tag team match set
WWE Friday Night SmackDown on July 25 took place at Rocket Arena in Cleveland, and featured a tag team title match between The Wyatt Sicks and the team of Andrade and Rey Fenix. The road to SummerSlam continued, but the show was dedicated to the memory of Hulk Hogan, who died Thursday at 71. Roxanne Perez got a win over Alexa Bliss, Jade Cargill squashed Chelsea Green, and Cody Rhodes cut a promo for his street fight against John Cena at SummerSlam. Here's the top takeaways from this week's episode: 10-bell salute to Hulk Hogan This week's show began with the entire locker room, including WWE Superstars from both past and present, standing shoulder to shoulder at the entrance, as an image of Hulk Hogan and the dates 1953-2025 was displayed on the screens. Triple H gave a speech in memory of Hogan, touching on his importance to the world of professional wrestling. Then, the entire arena held silent as the 10-bell salute rang. "Hogan, Hogan" chants followed before a video package narrated by Triple H highlighted his career. It's impossible to deny Hogan's impact on the world of professional wrestling. He was an iconic figure who truly elevated the business to new heights. It's difficult to imagine what wrestling would look like today without "The Hulkster" and later, "Hollywood Hogan." The performer was a cornerstone of childhood memories and inspired many. However, the man, Terry Bollea, was flawed, and that too, is impossible to deny. He made multiple racist remarks that left a permanent stain on his legacy. He prevented unionization efforts of his peers and rubbed many of them the wrong way for various reasons. That's why his death prompted mixed reactions. Jelly Roll, Randy Orton take out Logan Paul, Drew McIntyre The first promo segment of the show was an episode of "imPaulsive TV" with Logan Paul on the mic in his hometown. Paul called himself an inspiration and delivered a few typical heel lines to the crowd before addressing Jelly Roll, who he will face at SummeSlam in a tag team match. Jelly Roll quickly appeared after Paul mentioned his name. "The only thing you've ever inspired is little asshole kids filming themselves being assholes," Jelly Roll said. Jelly Roll entered the ring as they continued to exchange words. Paul's teammate, Drew McIntyre appeared. Jelly Roll then sang a few lines of Randy Orton's entrance theme to summon his teammate. After Orton entered the ring, he raised the mic to his mouth, but decided to just let his fists do the talking, and a brawl was on. Jelly Roll got dropped, but also rebounded to get a few licks in before clearing the ring as he and Orton celebrated. This was a fun SummerSlam preview. Jelly Roll was fantastic on the mic. As far as being a pro wrestler goes, he has the talking part down, which some never get. But his moves? Well, they didn't look terrible, but he's got big shoes to fill from the recent run of celebs who competed in matches. This SummerSlam match could turn out to be a nice surprise. We'll see. The Miz slaps Jacob Fatu, gets wrecked The Miz showed up out of nowhere feeling like a big dog in his own backyard. Jacob Fatu was in the middle of cutting a fiery promo backstage on Solo Sikoa when one of Cleveland's favorite sons, The Miz popped up. The Miz, who was taken out by Fatu a little while back, wanted revenge in his hometown. The Miz slapped Fatu in the face. Fatu smiled and said, "Well, come on with it." The two met in the ring, and The Miz quickly regretted his decision making. He did get a few moments of offense in after United States champ Solo Sikoa arrived with his MFTs to distract Fatu. After getting his focus back, The Miz was squashed. After the match, Sikoa and his crew unloaded on Fatu. Jimmy Uso came out to make the save, but Talla Tonga shook off a chair shot and took him out. All of this was to hype the cage match between Fatu and Sikoa at SummerSlam. The Miz actually made it believable he was going to do something to Fatu in the promo backstage, but he always brings the appropriate energy on the mic. Seeing Sikoa and crew stand tall over Fatu bodes well for "The Samoan Werewolf" ahead of SummerSlam, as it makes it more likely he'll get that back when the cage closes. Wyatt Sicks disqualified, retain tag titles; huge SummerSlam TLC announced The main event of the show featured the Wyatt Sicks, who were set to defend their tag titles for the first time against Andrade and Rey Fenix. The match was as expected. Both teams put on high-flying displays of offense to keep the crowd interested. However, as the match progressed, it was clear Andrade and Fenix were the better team in the ring. Their momentum carried them into what would have been a title-changing moment, but Nikki Cross broke up the pin by pulling the referee out of the ring, which caused a disqualification. From that point, all hell broke loose – a recurring theme with the SmackDown tag team division. In the blink of an eye, the entire division made their way out, causing a huge melee. DIY was last to run out with Nick Aldis following closely. As The Street Profits launched themselves onto a sea of bodies outside of the ring, Aldis entered the ring to announce that he's tired of seeing nonstop chaos with the division. So, at SummerSlam, the tag titles will be up for grabs in a 6-team TLC match. Yeah, Aldis, I'm sick of it too. Week in and week out, it's always the whole division on screen at once. It's like the writers are incapable of making interesting stories for these teams on their own. Maybe this newly announced TLC match will signal the end of beating us over the head with multi-way matches over and over and over again. Can those matches be fun? Absolutely. The problem is WWE has used it as a crutch with the division instead of developing stories. Let's only hope this SummerSlam match lives up to the 4-way that should have been on the WrestleMania card.

Legendary '70s Rockers Announce New Album
Legendary '70s Rockers Announce New Album originally appeared on Parade. Original Roxy Music band members Phil Manzanera (guitar), Andy Mackay (saxophone) and Paul Thompson (drummer) have announced a new album due out September 19. "AM PM SOHO LIVE is due out on September 19th via Expression Records & BFD/The Orchard and features material from Phil Manzanera and Andy Mackay's recent album, AM PM, as well as notable tracks from Phil Manzanera's solo catalogue and several Roxy Music classics," reads the press release. It continues, "Much of the material on AM PM SOHO LIVE is sourced from the 2023 Phil Manzanera/Andy Mackay collaborative effort, the instrumental AM PM. Recorded during the lockdowns, the album was so well-received that it inspired Manzanera and Mackay to play the tracks live. Recorded at those three sold-out gigs at an intimate screening theatre in London's Soho in March 2024, AM PM SOHO LIVE is mixed in Dolby Atmos and also features British/Portuguese singer/songwriter Sonia Bernardo and another ex-Roxy Music alum, Anna Phoebe, on violin."'Listening back to the tracks from this album, especially in Dolby Atmos, and trying to make sense of what is AM PM SOHO LIVE has made me realize that the original ad that I answered to join Roxy, which said 'Guitarist wanted for Avant Rock group' was a thought and a mission statement staring me in the face and has informed quite naturally and organically the whole of the AM PM project," said Manzanera in a statement. Roxy Music was formed in 1971 with Thompson, Mackay, Manzanera plus Bryan Ferry and Brian Eno. They quickly became known as "elegant, art school rockers." They took a hiatus in the 1980s and 1990s, then returned in 2001 with a new tour. In 2019, Roxy Music was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and then in 2022, the band celebrated its 50th anniversary with a worldwide tour that culminated in a sold-out show in London. A live performance video of the first track off the album, "Out of the Blue," is available now.

Cyndi Lauper says goodbye to touring with heart, color and powerhouse vocals: Review
BRISTOW, Va. – In the nine months since Cyndi Lauper launched her Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour, she's birthed a worldwide arena run and an October premiere date for her long-gestating 'Working Girl' musical. She's also been rightfully crowned an inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this fall and remained a staunch advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and women's issues, raising $200,000 through fan donations during the tour for her Girls Just Want to Have Fundamental Rights Fund. In other words, Cyndi has remained Cyndi – indefatigable, loyal and bracingly authentic. The final leg of her final tour kicked off July 17, this time hitting amphitheaters, with a slightly modified production from her arena run. Lauper, a seemingly ageless 72, will say goodbye to the road – but not to music – with a two-night stand at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles Aug. 29-30. At Jiffy Lube Live amphitheater in northern Virginia July 24, Lauper uncorked a generous mix of classics ('True Colors,' 'Change of Heart') and album tracks ('Who Let in the Rain,' 'Shine') with her well-honed five-piece band anchored by drummer Sterling Campbell and percussionist Mona Tavakoli. But her storytelling between the music also riveted those willing to stop scrolling through their phones to listen. There is a direct through line from Lauper to Lady Gaga from a theatrical standpoint. Unlike Gaga, also currently captivating fans with her sublime Mayhem Ball tour, Lauper has never been a dancer, aside from her unbridled arm waves and hip swings first captured on the cover of her blockbuster 'She's So Unusual' debut more than 40 years ago. She uses her bold fashion – wig changes from blue to canary yellow, outfits from ruffled trains to polka dots – and gale-force voice to sell her drama. Cyndi Lauper tells fans 'you write the book' While it is endlessly amusing to watch Lauper cavort through the opening 'She Bop' (hilarious to recall the song was considered risqué in the '80s) as fans are blasted with rainbow confetti and dance with abandon during the underappreciated 'The Goonies 'R Good Enough,' the songs where Lauper flourishes are ballads. Her rendition of Roy Orbison's 'I Drove All Night' is an exhale of yearning. But Lauper sharing her story of how being an outcast in high school shaped her is what garnered the most applause: 'This is one chapter in your life. You get to write the other chapters … you write the book,' she said in her staccato New York accent. A highlight of the two-hour show was her riveting performance of 'Sally's Pigeons.' Following a deep, detailed story about her family, growing up in Queens and the neighbor who inspired the song, Lauper stood under a lone spotlight, singing the first verse of the song a capella. Close-ups of her face on the long-paneled screens behind the stage captured every facial contortion as she poured her emotion into the poignant ballad. More: Lady Gaga thrills at theatrical Mayhem Ball tour kickoff: Review Cyndi Lauper has mastered mixing fun with philosophy Lauper's Carole-Lombard-meets-Lucille-Ball kookiness has always been part of her charm. She can blast her voice to stratospheric heights on her version of Gene Pitney's 1964 hit, 'I'm Gonna Be Strong,' gather her band and two backup singers for a sprightly skip through 'Iko Iko' or ask the crowd to hold up their phones to 'make a community of light, in case it gets really dark' for the eternally tender 'Time After Time.' Opener Jake Wesley Rogers joined her for a vigorous rendition of 'Money Changes Everything,' the pair slinging lyrics between them and laying on the stage floor to pound out emphatic notes before an encore that, of course, included 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun.' Through it all, Lauper's mixture of street-smart philosophies delivered with candor and undiminished vocal prowess cement her standing as a hall of famer far beyond a music museum.
