Niall Horan pays himself €2.2m on back of sell out The Show tour
One of Ireland's most successful entertainers, singer-songwriter Niall Horan, last year paid himself €2.2m on the back on a sell out worldwide tour. New accounts filed by the Mullingar man's Jaredon Ltd show that pay at the firm increased by 20% from €1.85m to €2.23m in the 12 months to the end of March 2025. Horan enjoyed the €2.2m pay bonanza after a gruelling tour schedule in 2024 which commenced on February 20, 2024 in Belfast and concluded on October 9 last in Bogota, Colombia. One of the tour venues included New York City's Madison Square Garden where the concert was filmed. Underling how lucrative The Show tour was for the 31 year old, figures from trade industry journal Pollstar show that Horan generated €2.65m at the box office from three shows at the 3Arena in Dublin in 2024. Box office receipts are shared between artist, venue, promoter and ticket seller. Horan - who has amassed 39.3 million followers on X and Instagram and best known for songs like Slow Hands and Nice to Meet Ya - is a regular on Irish Rich List surveys after a career that was launched after securing a place on One Direction in 2010 from his appearance on UK TV show X Factor. In the year under review, Horan's Slow Hands and This Town each passed 1 billion streams on Spotify. Jaredon employs three people including fellow directors and accountants to the stars, Alan McEvoy and Barry Downes from the Limerick-based Livewire Business Management, which specialises in representing well known figures in the music, entertainment and sports industries. Pay to the three totalled €2.32m and included directors' emoluments in respect of qualifying services last year totalling €30,000. Cash funds at the company declined from €1.85m to €106,944. Arising from the €2.32m staff costs, the company recorded a modest loss of €39,863 last year. Accumulated profits at the end of March this year totalled €93,000. Away from the music studio, Horan has been busy investing in the likes of the expanding athleisure Gym+Coffee brand. Horan is also the founder of Modest! Golf Management that counts Ireland's leading female golfer Leona Maguire amongst the growing roster of golfers that it represents. Leona and her sister Lisa Maguire are both on the Modest! Golf Management roster which also includes three time Ryder Cup player, Tyrrell Hatton and young golfing stars including European Tour player Connor Syme, former Walker Cup player Jack Singh Brar, South African Christiaan Bezuidenhout and former Italian number one amateur Guido Migliozzi.

Sharon Osbourne recalls Ozzy Osbourne's final words to fans after last Black Sabbath concert
Sharon Osbourne has shared her late husband Ozzy Osbourne's reflections on his fans from an interview conducted days before his death. The Black Sabbath frontman died on July 22, aged 76. Speaking to Pollstar on July 17, Sharon, 72, recalled Ozzy's words after his final concert with Black Sabbath at Villa Park in Birmingham on July 5. She said he told her, 'I had no idea that so many people liked me,' which she attributed to him being in 'his own bubble.' Sharon described the event as a 'huge success' and noted its unique farewell format. The show was streamed live, with proceeds going to charity. She said it was 'the perfect way' to end a long career, returning to his favourite stadium, home of Aston Villa, in his hometown. Ozzy's family announced his passing in a statement requesting privacy. Thousands of fans gathered in Birmingham on July 30 for a funeral procession. Sharon, alongside their children Kelly, Jack, and Aimée, as well as Ozzy's son Louis, visited the Black Sabbath Bridge memorial, thanking supporters for their tributes. According to his death certificate, Ozzy died from cardiac arrest and acute myocardial infarction, with coronary artery disease and Parkinson's disease listed as joint causes. His occupation was recorded as 'Songwriter, Performer and Rock Legend.' Sharon and Ozzy met in 1970 when her father managed Black Sabbath. She became his manager after he went solo in 1979, and they married in 1982. They shared three children and renewed their vows in 2017. The couple starred in MTV's The Osbournes from 2002 to 2005 and celebrated their 43rd wedding anniversary on July 4 2025. Sharon had previously called Ozzy her 'soulmate,' marking decades spent together both professionally and personally.
