Kelly Osbourne Posts Photo from Ozzy's Private Funeral
In a post to her Instagram stories on Aug. 1, Kelly, 40, shared a photo of a large purple floral arrangement spelled out to read 'Ozzy F--ing Osbourne.' The signage was set alongside a pond on the family's sprawling Buckinghamshire estate, where Ozzy was buried. You can see a photo of the floral sign, which was also posted on Ozzy Osbourne's Instagram page.
The setting appeared to be in line with the late rock legend's wishes.
'Ozzy wanted his final place of rest to be at home, and he is buried at a beautiful point on the lake,' a source told The Sun of the rock legend, who died on July 22 at age 76.
In his 2009 memoir, I Am Ozzy, Osbourne made his burial wishes clear. 'I've said to Sharon, don't cremate me, whatever you do,' he wrote. 'I want to be put in the ground, in a nice garden somewhere with a tree planted over my head. A crabapple tree, preferably, so the kids can make wine out of and get p---ed out of their heads.'

"I feel unhappy I am so sad, I lost the best friend I ever had 💔" Kelly wrote on her Instagram stories on July 24.

Billy Joel Jumps Back Onto Multiple Charts At Once
Billy Joel's catalog is more successful at the moment than it has been in quite a long time. The piano man had his life and career story told in a two-part docuseries that aired on HBO in July called Billy Joel: And So It Goes. The program proved to be incredibly popular and, thanks to its success, his music has been performing extraordinarily well on streaming platforms and even selling well once more. In the United Kingdom, one of Joel's most popular compilations is in the midst of a major comeback as fans rediscover his work. Billy Joel's Album Returns to Three Charts Piano Man – The Very Best Of returns to three tallies in the region, spurred on by renewed attention generated by the docuseries. The compilation reappears highest on the Official Album Downloads chart, coming in at No. 16. The title relaunches in lower spots on both the Official Album Sales and Official Physical Albums rankings, reentering at Nos. 89 and 92, respectively. Piano Man Surges on Multiple Other Lists Piano Man can now be found on five U.K.-focused rankings. In addition to the three it returns to, the compilation rises nearly 10 spaces on the Official Albums chart, which focuses on the most consumed titles. The set is also a big winner on sites like Spotify and Apple Music, as Joel's project leaps from No. 30 to No. 26 on the Official Albums Streaming list. That marks a new all-time high for the hits-packed release. Billy Joel's Top 10 Success Piano Man has previously cracked the top 10 on two of the five charts where it currently appears. It climbed highest on the Official Physical Albums list, peaking at No. 5, while its lowest high point ended up on the Official Album Sales roster, where it narrowly found space inside the top 40 by once lifting to No. 39. Billy Joel's Time on the Charts The length of time Piano Man has spent on each list varies widely. The compilation has spent the fewest weeks on the Official Album Sales chart, with just 21 appearances on the 100-spot ranking. It has racked up 316 turns on the Official Albums roster and 284 on the streaming tally, as it regularly appeared on those rosters even before the release of the docuseries.

Who is headlining Reading and Leeds 2025? Line-up revealed
Chappell Roan, Travis Scott, Hozier and Bring Me the Horizon will top the bill Festival season is nearly over after a sun-soaked and controversial summer of music. However, there's still one major weekend left. Reading and Leeds Festivals will return over the August bank holiday with a packed line-up that includes pop phenomenon Chappell Roan and rapper Travis Scott. Whether you're a seasoned regular or watching from the comfort of your sofa, here's what to expect from one of the summer's biggest parties. When is Reading and Leeds 2025? Buy Reading and Leeds tickets The sister festivals will take place between Thursday 21 and Sunday 24 August, at Richfield Avenue in Reading and Bramham Park in Leeds. Coverage of the festivals will be broadcast on BBC One, iPlayer, Radio 1 and BBC Sounds. A limited number of tickets are still on general sale via Ticketmaster and Live Nation, with prices starting at £125 for day tickets and rising to £325 for weekend passes. Who is headlining Reading and Leeds? Reading and Leeds Festivals share the same line-up, which features acts from the worlds of rock, pop, grime, hip-hop and electronic music. The festivals' schedule rotates across both sites over the event. US pop star Chappell Roan and rapper Travis Scott will headline the festivals for the first time. Irish singer-songwriter Hozier and Sheffield rock band Bring Me the Horizon will also top the bill. Roan's headline sets will mark her biggest UK shows to date, following a mammoth year for the performer. Her 2023 debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, had a slow rise in the UK chart, before landing at number one last year and catapulting her to fame. She won her first Grammy earlier this year, scooping the best new artist prize. Her latest single The Subway topped the UK charts, while other tracks The Giver, The Subway, Hot to Go and Good Luck Babe all reached the top five. Festival boss Melvin Benn said the line-up was "truly special", adding: "This is one of the youngest average ages for headliners in years, and that's very exciting in itself." Oliver Sykes, the frontman of Bring Me the Horizon, said: "We are beyond excited to be returning to Reading and Leeds for our first fully fledged headline slot. We are going to bring hands down the greatest show of our careers. "It's going to be our only UK performance [of 2025] and the final European show of the Nex Gen [their 2024 album] campaign before the band take time away, so if you want to see BMTH next year, this truly is your only chance. Can't wait." Who else is on the Reading and Leeds line-up? Other acts on the bill will include British indie stalwarts Bloc Party and The Kooks, plus rap heavyweights AJ Tracey and Trippie Redd. They will be joined by DJ Sammy Virji, pop singer Becky Hill and punk-rock duo Soft Play. Fans can also look forward to performances from singer Suki Waterhouse, drum and bass group Rudimental, and Charli XCX collaborator The Dare. The line-up is rounded out by rock bands Enter Shikari, Pale Waves, Wallows, Royel Otis, Wunderhorse and Amyl and the Sniffers. Last year's headliners were Liam Gallagher, Lana Del Rey, Blink-182, Fred Again, Catfish and the Bottlemen and Gerry Cinnamon. Reading and Leeds Festivals will take place between 21 and 24 August

'Love Is Blind' Fans Sick of Dating Apps Try New Way—For Some, It Works
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Friends Tolu and Ife are both 27, live in the UK, and are Love Is Blind fans. They're also both single, which is what brings them to a dimly lit bar in the bustling centre of London to test the real-life version of Netflix's flagship dating "experiment" show ahead of season 2 of the UK version. Outside the bar, a line stretches onto the streets of Soho, the iconic central district of the English capital, with many voicing the same frustration: fatigue with the current dating game. "I think the worst part about dating right now is the lack of commitment. I think everybody's a bit scared these days," said Tolu, a learning development coach from Essex. Love Is Blind offers an alternative. The format sees around 20 contestants separated by gender into living quarters for 10 days during which their sole focus is to date the other contestants without ever seeing them, with the goal of getting engaged and progressing to the next stage of the show. The engaged couples go on a trip, then live together in their home towns, meet friends and family, and ultimately decide whether or not to go through with a wedding, determining whether—as the hosts frequently remind viewers—love really is truly blind. Tolu's friend, Ife, a solutions architect at a cloud tech company, based in North West London, was thrilled at the chance to step into the real-life pods as part of the promotional event hosted by Netflix in collaboration with Thursday Dating, a UK-based app that organizes weekly singles events. "Love is Blind is my dream reality TV show to be on. I feel like it's a very good style of dating," she said. But, much like in the show, which has only seen a few couples remain married, the event proved that when it comes to dating, there is no one-size-fits-all solution—even at a time when singles are more disenchanted with dating apps than ever. Inside the Real-Life Pods The pod attendees of the event entered to see whether they could form a connection blindly. The pod attendees of the event entered to see whether they could form a connection blindly. Lydia Patrick/Lydia Patrick Like in the show, the pods—small booths separated by a curtain—forced participants to rely on conversation alone to gauge whether a spark could form. Prompt cards encouraged deeper discussion, and after each session, participants pressed a red or green button to indicate if they wanted to meet their date face-to-face. Both Tolu and Ife said they've been making an active effort to attend more in-person dating events, believing it cuts out the nonsense and is a foolproof way of immediately ascertaining whether there is a connection. It appears they are part of a wider shift as more people are stepping away from swiping. A Forbes-backed survey from May 2025 found 79% of Gen Zers who had used dating apps in the past year experienced "dating app burnout," and Eventbrite reported over 1.5 million searches for "dating" and "singles events" in just one year. Tami, 30, from Camden, who works in finance, was trying out the pods after ending a long-term relationship last year. "I'm not on dating apps, so I prefer to meet people in real life and chat to see if we get on," Tami told Newsweek. "Every time I've been to one of these events before, we always meet really nice people, and you never know where it can go. You'll know straight away whether you get on with someone, so you're not wasting your time small-talking back and forth and trying to arrange a date." The Love is Blind UK hosts, Matt and Emma Willis. The Love is Blind UK hosts, Matt and Emma Willis. Lydia Patrick/Lydia Patrick Kajal, 29, and Cameron, 26, are also disillusioned with dating apps, which led them to try the pods. "It's empty. There's nothing in it. On dating apps, there's no soul in it. These are photos, these are words, but even when you talk to them, it's an incomplete form of communication. There's nothing really coming back and forth," Cameron told Newsweek. "I've been single since December, and I've dated two people since. Honestly, I feel like they tend to end not respectfully, and I don't feel like I was treated the way that I deserve through apps," added Kajal, a support engineer. Kajal entered the pod and caught a quick glimpse of Cameron's black size 11 sneakers under the curtain—something she "approved immediately." "The pod experience felt quite natural to me. I felt like it had quite a calming energy," she told Newsweek. The two began with general conversation before moving on to the prompt cards, which sparked deeper discussion. One card read: "Would you go to bed angry?" Cameron said he would, preferring to wake up emotionally regulated and with a fresh perspective. Kajal preferred resolving issues before bed—though she respected her partner needing time to process. Despite their different approaches, the discussion helped them find common ground, and they plan to keep talking and see where their initial spark might lead. Does the Experiment Work? Love Is Blind premiered in February 2020 on Netflix, and instantly caused a stir. As COVID-19 led to shutdowns across the world shortly after, more people were tuning in to easy-watching TV, and the first season of the show became one of the streaming platform's biggest successes of the year. In the years since, multiple splin-offs have aired in different territories, including Brazil, Japan, and Sweden. In 2024, season 1 of Love Is Blind UK produced drama, scandal, and memes—but also real love stories. Among the romantic successes: Benaiah and Nicole, who are still married, and Jasmine and Bobby, who are expecting a baby. For others, the pods were transformative in different ways. Demi Santana Brown, 32, from Southeast London, sees her season as a success—even though it didn't end in marriage. "Season 1 was a self-love journey, even though I was there to find a husband and fall in love. I did connect with someone, but we didn't get married. The lesson I learned was how to love yourself. It was beautiful to be in that experience and learn as I went along. It was an experience I didn't know I needed, and I'm forever grateful for it," Demi told Newsweek. After the experiment, she took a year of celibacy before returning to the "cold streets" of dating—this time with clearer intentions. "The physical side of things is not a priority. It's like third on the list. I want to know someone for who they are because, at the end of the day, when the lights go off at night, you're not going to see that person. It's the person you're having deep conversations with. You want an emotional connection and to feel safe." As for the singles looking for love in the London (untelevised) pods, the experience was mixed. For Tami, the pod date was unsuccessful, as she found the conversation one-sided. Daniel, 32, also didn't find love, likening the experience to "sparking conversation in a sauna." "Once I exited the pod, I felt a bit more air, so I felt less lightheaded. It wasn't love at first sight, unfortunately, but she seemed like a nice person." But Kajal and Cameron were positive about the experience. "I very much encourage in-person events because it gives you the opportunity to actually get to know someone's energy and their charisma," Kajal told Newsweek. She added, "Someone might not be attractive in a picture, but their confidence, the way that they're attracted to you, their hobbies, and interests in person, and having that one-to-one connection and feeling that vibe is something you don't really get from an app. Also, when you come to these events, you know that person cares enough to show up in person." Love Is Blind UK season 2 premiered Wednesday, August 13, on Netflix, following the journeys of more single participants taking an unconventional path to lasting love.
