Ozzy Osbourne revealed his favourite ever song and it's not Black Sabbath hit
Ozzy Osbourne shared his all-time favourite songs, and while it's no surprise that The Beatles feature heavily, his number one pick may come as a surprise to fans Ozzy Osbourne and his pioneering metal band Black Sabbath inspired hundreds of big-name musicians over decades of rock excellence. Fans might expect a man with such talents and reputation to have impeccable music taste, but the one song Ozzy labelled his favourite song of all time might surprise you. Long before his death on Tuesday (July 22), Ozzy revealed the one song he favours above all others - and it's not a Black Sabbath tune. Nor, indeed, is it one of his many excellent solo tracks. Perhaps even surprisingly still, despite being a self-professed Beatles lover, it's not even a song by the Fab Four. Instead, Ozzy disclosed that his top choice is the spine-chilling 1967 masterpiece A Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harum. In a 2009 piece for NME's publication Inspired By Music - celebrities pick their favourite songs, Osbourne detailed why this track strikes such a profound chord with him. "When I hear that haunting melody on the Hammond organ, I immediately become transfixed," he stated. Launched in 1967, A Whiter Shade of Pale became an immediate sensation, dominating the UK charts for six weeks. It remains amongst the rare recordings to shift over 10 million copies and earned induction into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998. For Ozzy, the track's eerie ambience distinguishes it - a characteristic that arguably echoes the shadowy elements within his own compositions. Whilst Procol Harum claims the premier position, Ozzy's remaining beloved tracks demonstrate the breadth of his musical inspirations. During a 2004 chat with Rolling Stone, he unveiled his favourite songs from that period, providing insight into the tracks that influenced his existence and profession. Leading the selection is A Day in the Life by The Beatles. "It takes me back to a magical time in my life," Ozzy remarked. His admiration for The Beatles extends beyond this single track. He also selected Hey Jude ("Hands down, one of the greatest songs ever written") and Yesterday as two of his top picks. He expressed awe at the simplicity of the latter's original title, remarking: "I would have loved to have heard the working-title version, Scrambled Eggs". John Lennon's 'Imagine' takes second place on Ozzy's list, with his admiration for the track being deep and constant. "This song will never get old for me," he declared. Another McCartney hit, Live and Let Die, earns third place: "A f***ing great song. I love it!". The Pink Floyd classic Money stirs up vivid recollections from Ozzy's wilder years. "Reminds me of my LSD days. I'm glad I survived," he reminisced. Mountain's Mississippi Queen also resonates deeply with Ozzy, bringing back memories of Black Sabbath's first US tour. "This one brings back memories of my very first U.S. tour with Black Sabbath," he shared. Unsurprisingly, Led Zeppelin's Dazed and Confused made it onto his list, with Ozzy recalling the profound impact it had on him. He said: "My world stood still the first time I heard this." The Animals' hit Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood has long been a favourite for Ozzy, who considers it to have "always [been] a favourite". To complete his selection, the rock legend included Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, praising it heavily. Ozzy said: "Great melody. Great lyrics. Great song. I love Elton John!".

Artists have to face the truth about AI: it will probably improve even their best work
According to legend, Paul McCartney rolled out of bed in 1964, having dreamt up a new melody. Originally convinced he had plagiarised it, he waited a few weeks before laying down some new lyrics and giving his new tune a better title. Scrambled Eggs became Yesterday, one of the biggest hits of all time.

Ryan Reynolds takes a bite out of breakfast with new Tim Hortons collab
Next time you visit Tim Hortons, you can say 'I'll have what Ryan Reynold's having.' The Vancouver mega star and soccer club owner has teamed up with the restaurant chain for a new menu item. Ryan's Scrambled Eggs breakfast boxes are made to order and include two scrambled eggs made with Canadian freshly cracked eggs, hash browns and a choice of sausage crumble or bacon strips, according to the fast food chain. The boxes are available now at participating Tim Hortons restaurants across Canada and the United States. 'There's something really special about having the chance to collaborate with such an iconic and beloved Canadian brand,' said Reynolds in a statement. 'When I visited the Tim Hortons Test Kitchen, I took my role very seriously, by which I mean I ate an irresponsible amount of eggs. And honestly? I regret nothing.' To promote the new collab, Reynolds and his marketing company Maximum Effort team created a new commercial that spoofs the rider Reynolds has while working on a film shoot. In the ad, a slightly annoyed assistant delivers to the Deapool star Ryan's Scrambled Eggs and Tims coffee as well as some other particular A-lister items such as a newspaper with 'all references to birds redacted,' a left-handed cane, and a jar of fresh air from Vancouver.

This partnership was first teased at in a video leading the premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine back in late July 2024. 'Ryan has been a great partner and so enthusiastic about leaning into his own love of the Tims brand as we worked on how to bring this really fun collab to life,' said Hope Bagozzi, Chief Marketing Officer for Tim Hortons. 'We're proud to be a daily breakfast and coffee destination for so many of our guests and this partnership with Ryan is another way for us to offer a uniquely-Tims morning meal that kick-starts your day with great taste and great value.' Reynolds isn't the first Canadian superstar to partner with Tim Hortons. Justin Bieber collaborated with the brand in 2021 to release limited-edition Timbits called 'Timbiebs.'

The boxes developed by the Vancouver-born star of 'Deadpool' come in bacon or sausage varieties and include two scrambled eggs, hash browns and chipotle sauce. While Tims has spent its 60th anniversary year working to lure in afternoon and evening diners with newer menu items like rice-based bowls and flatbread pizzas, the Reynolds partnership so far focuses on its strongest part of the day: breakfast. When deciding what food to partner on, Tims chief marketing officer Hope Bagozzi said Reynolds looked for a breakfast option that resembled the bacon and eggs he and his family eat at home. 'When I visited the Tim Hortons Test Kitchen, I took my role very seriously, by which I mean I ate an irresponsible amount of eggs. And honestly? I regret nothing,' said Reynolds in a press release. His appetite for them was so voracious that the Tims chef almost couldn't make the boxes fast enough, when Reynolds was on set filming TV and social media ads for the products, Bagozzi said. The ads feature an assistant fulfilling Reynolds' rider, which include a newspaper with all references to birds redacted, Vancouver air, a left-handed cane, a jigsaw puzzle one piece away from completion and his beloved breakfast box.

Competition within the breakfast segment has intensified over the last decade with new players like European chain Pret A Manger entering the market and more restaurants offering all-day breakfast. Reynolds' boxes could heat up the rivalry if they accomplish Bagozzi's goal of drawing new customers who are fans of the actor to Tims. The actor has also narrated an Air Canada ad, starred in marketing for Mint Mobile, a telecom he used to own, and fundraised for Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto and the Terry Fox Foundation. Tims started talking to Reynolds after wrapping a collaboration with popstar Justin Bieber that spanned 2021 and 2022 and spawned a cold brew, three Timbits, tote bags and fanny packs. Asked how much Tims is paying Reynolds, whose production company Maximum Effort, made the ad, Bagozzi said only, 'It's worth every dollar, every bit of Vancouver air.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The night before Tims broke the news last summer to franchisees about the upcoming celeb partnership, Reynolds sent a video joking he was 'thrilled' the company chose him, when they could have gone with Robert Goulet, the Canadian crooner who played Lancelot in the original 'Camelot.' 'The room went bananas, like, it erupted,' Bagozzi recalled of the moment it was played. 'I was trying to talk and it was just like there was hooting and shouting and screaming.' The franchisees were sworn to secrecy and Bagozzi is impressed they didn't let it slip, though the company ran a 'Deadpool' ad with Reynolds in July and teased on an earnings call that more was coming. A second phase of the Reynolds partnership will follow the breakfast boxes. Bagozzi would not reveal its timeline or contents. News Vancouver Canucks Baseball Vancouver Canucks Food
