Ozzy Osbourne completes HUGE ‘rehab wing' with boating lake, spa and art studio at UK mansion following final gig

The Sun5 days ago
OZZY Osbourne prepared for his final ever gig in a brand new 'rehab wing' - which is as big as his luxury country mansion and even includes a boating lake, wellness space and art studio.
But money won't be an object for Ozzy, 76, as we can reveal that his personal firm made £5,000 per day in its last financial year.

The rocker played at Villa Park on Saturday and has needed to be in the shape of his life after being hit with Parkinson's Disease.
Three years ago, Ozzy and wife Sharon were given the green light by the council to transform their historic Buckinghamshire home to include a new adjoining mega-extension solely for the Black Sabbath frontman.
Now The Sun can reveal that the rehab wing is as huge as the historic Grade II-listed home.
According to plans, it includes a 'health and welfare exercise studio', 'art studio room', 'pool house orangery' complete with spa, a wet room and a changing area.
There's also a terraced area overlooking the vast garden and a new lake that's been built with pictures appearing to show that there are small boats on it.
The upstairs area of the new wing also includes an attic space and kitchenette and the current gym has been extended.
To make sure that Ozzy could get fit in privacy, they included a 2.4m high fence to keep out prying eyes and an upgrade on the previous CCTV monitoring their grounds.
There's more visitor parking spaces as well, presumably for any professionals and medics looking after Ozzy.
Bat and bird boxes have been built around the property and the lake will provide an area for new wildlife and aquatic creatures.
New accounts for Ozzy's main firm Monowise Ltd reveals that money wouldn't be a problem to fund such an expensive project.

Ozzy took out a £6.35M director's loan from the firm last year, which shows that the firm is now worth £5.97M.
It paid £445k in corporation tax in its last financial year, which means at a 25 per cent tax rate, the firm made around £1.8 million, that's £4,876 profit a day.
Ozzy and his Black Sabbath band mates took to the stage for the final time over the weekend.
Ozzy arrived on stage at Villa Park in Birmingham dressed in his trademark black, sitting on a bat throne for the historic gig.
The Sun was there to witness the final show-stopping spectacular.
Called Back To The Beginning, it is frontman and rock veteran Ozzy's last time performing on stage amid his worsening diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
The crowd were delighted to see the iconic rocker back on stage and kept chanting his name.
The gig was touted as "the greatest heavy metal show ever" and Ozzy played a short five-song set reuniting with his bandmates Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward.
Back To The Beginning also featured a mega line-up of fellow rock stars, performing their own sets and as a super-group, and all the profits made will be going to charity.
The money will be shared equally between Cure Parkinson's, Birmingham Children's Hospital and Acorn Children's Hospice.
Metallica and Slayer were on the line-up for main sets as they celebrated Ozzy's remarkable legacy.
Pantera, Gojira, Alice In Chains, Halestorm, Lamb Of God, Anthrax, and Mastodon also played at the show.
It is the first time in 20 years that the original Black Sabbath line-up have performed together.

Nick Knowles' wife Katie, 35, reveals she's had a hysterectomy after going through ‘years of pain'

NICK Knowles' wife Katie has revealed that she has had a hysterectomy after going through 'years of pain'. The media personality took to social media from her hospital bed to reveal her huge news. 6 Katie, 35, married her husband, former Strictly Come Dancing star Nick, 62, in a stunning Essex ceremony last month. But just over a month after their big day, Katie went to hospital to undergo a hysterectomy procedure. The operation involves the removal of the uterus and womb, but it can also involve other organs such as the ovaries or cervix. A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure which removes a woman's womb and may also involve the removal of other organs, such as the ovaries. She posted a behind-the-scenes montage video on Instagram as she shared a candid look from her experience. Katie wrote an essay in the caption of the video as she revealed that she has suffered years of pain because she suffered from endometriosis and adenomyosis. In the video, the personality appeared in a gown and compression socks as she elected to have her third operation. She took selfies from the bed as she showed her 98k followers round her private bathroom. After the surgery, she also had several bandages on her stomach as Katie wrote: "I'm 35 and I've just had a hysterectomy. "I've lived with pcos, endometriosis and adenomyosis since Moses wore short pants. And no, it wasn't 'just a bad period.' Nick Knowles' wife Katie reveals truth about why she looked so 'disinterested' at 6-figure wedding after bride shaming "It was constant hospital trips. Multiple laparoscopies. Bleeding through clothes. Vomiting from the pain. Being curled up in bed, missing out on life. "It was extreme bloating that made me look pregnant. It was migraines, stabbing pains in my legs, butt and stomach. "It was chronic fatigue. It was hiding in loos, crying over another ruined day. It was my daughters terrified of getting their periods in case they end up like mummy." She continued: "Years of misdiagnosis & being fobbed off. Told to take painkillers. That it was 'normal.' It wasn't. don't recognise the woman I am when I'm in pain. Because I don't want to remember the days where I was too sore, too tired, too bloated. "I've cried on bathroom floors. I've bled through clothes in public. I've had 3 surgeries. "I've tried every pill, every patch, every hormone tweak. I've been put on a medical menopause just to get through uni. And still… the pain came." "Today I looked through my phone and realised I hardly have any photos of myself like this. "Because I don't recognise the woman I am when I'm in pain. Because I don't want to remember the days where I was too sore, too tired, too bloated." When heavy periods could be something sinister WHEN it comes to periods, there is a textbook definition of normal - but then there is also what a normal period looks like for you. For some (lucky) people, these definitions overlap; for others, they don't. The NHS recognises a 'normal period' as losing between 30 and 60ml, or six to eight teaspoonfuls, each month. A 'heavy' period' is anything more than 80ml. Another, arguably simpler, way of working out whether your period is heavy is to count the number of pads or tampons you use. Having to change a pad or tampon every one to two hours, or emptying a menstrual cup more often than is recommended, is a sign your period is heavy. An NHS test can also help reveal whether your periods are heavy and if it's worth seeing your GP. Dr Fran Yarlett, GP and medical director at The Lowdown, said: "Heavy periods can be normal for some people. "But if your periods have changed and become heavier, this can signify medical problems." This could be: Early-stage cervical cancer Fibroids (non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the womb) Perimenopause (the time during which your body makes the natural transition to menopause) Hypothyroidism (when the thyroid doesn't produce enough hormones Endometriosis (tissue similar to that in the womb grows in other areas of the body) The star admitted that she has no plans to have more children, however she is still going through 'grief' as she felt that that choice was taken away from her. "I didn't want more children, my girls are everything. But that doesn't mean this is easy. Because the choice has been taken from me. "And that grief is real. It feels like something in me has changed, apart from being sans uterus. "Right now, I'm in lots of pain. Im bloated. I'm exhausted. I'm hot. I'm forgetful. I'm hot (see how that works on multiple levels 😂). "I feel raw and less like myself. Less like a woman, if I'm being really honest." "But this was a decision I made to take my life back. To stop surviving and start living again, & have days that aren't defined by pain." Katie also opened up on her raw emotions around the surgery, but she urged social media users to be kind. She added : "This is hopefully the beginning of healing. The beginning of self-love, scars, stitches and all. "And please, if you've made it this far, I ask gently: This is something deeply personal. If you're tempted to leave a judgmental or flippant comment, I'm asking you to just scroll on. "There is a real person behind this post." 6 6 6

Liam Gallagher booed by Oasis fans at first Manchester gig after dedicating song to ‘greatest of all time'

LIAM Gallagher was booed by fans at Oasis' first Manchester gig last night after he dedicated a song to the "greatest of all time". The iconic band performed their first of five nights at Heaton Park yesterday, belting out tunes in their hometown for the first time in 16 years. 6 6 6 However, some fans were less than happy after the front man made a special dedication midway through the gig before a performance of D'You Know What I Mean. Before getting into the track, Liam addressed the crowd, saying: "I'd like to dedicate this to the greatest manager of all time, Mr Pep Guardiola." The mention of Guardiola, who has served as manager of the brothers' beloved football team Manchester City since 2016, sparked some boos from the crowd - likely from fans of rival team Manchester United. Liam began to imitate praying towards the manager, bending down and lowering his back while his hands are raised. As some of the crowd begins to boo, Noel responds by asking: 'Who you f***ing booing, who you f***ing booing?' Footage of the moment also shows a life-sized cut-out of the iconic manager with a Man City scarf around his neck on stage. Thankfully, fans - even those supporting rival teams - enjoyed the moment and broke into laughter as Liam launched into an emphatic version of D'You Know What I Mean. Footage also showed Guardiola, 54, enjoying the gig last night alongside his daughter, belting out the words to Don't Look Back in Anger alongside 80,000 fans. Even before the show, the Man City manager was seen partying backstage with the Gallagher brothers' family.

Oasis pay touching tribute to tragic Diogo Jota as Liverpool star appears on screen in emotional song The Spaniard enjoyed backstage VIP access and wore a classic retro Man City shirt and a casual pair of denim shorts, with Gene sharing it on his Instagram. The 24-year-old wrote: "Pic of the century alright now everyone else can f*** off." Oasis guitarist Noel, 56, is a lifelong Man City superfan and regularly attends games at the Etihad Stadium. He was the first to interview Guardiola following his arrival in Manchester nine years ago and the pair have since established a close bond. 6 6 6 Brother Liam, 52, is also a lifelong fan of the club. Oasis' gig on Friday was the third of their tour, which began in Cardiff on July 4. The Manchester concert began as the brothers walked onto the stage together to cheers from the crowd - marking Oasis's return to their roots. Liam held his older brother's hand and raised it, while he had his trademark maracas in his other fist.
