Ozzy Osbourne goes out on a high at farewell gig
Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath have gone out with a bang at what they say will be their final gig, in front of 40,000 fans and supported by an all-star line-up of rock legends who have been influenced by the founding fathers of heavy metal, BBC reported.
Ozzy, 76, who has Parkinson's disease, sang while seated on a black throne - clapping, waving his arms and pulling wild-eyed looks, just like old times.
He appeared overwhelmed at some moments. "You have no idea how I feel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart," he told the crowd at Villa Park in Birmingham.
He was joined by the full original Sabbath line-up for the first time in 20 years, according to BBC.
Bob Vylan’s Israeli military chant prompts US visa cancellation and UK criminal probe
Members of the British rap punk duo Bob Vylan had their visas revoked by the United States and are under investigation by local police after leading a crowd to chant “death” to Israel’s military at a UK music festival this past weekend, CNN reported.
On Monday, US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said that the State Department “has revoked the US visas for the members of the Bob Vylan band in light of their hateful tirade at Glastonbury, including leading the crowd in death chants.”
He added on X that “foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country.”
As Squid Game ends, South Koreans return to the reality that inspired it
Millions of fans are bidding farewell to Squid Game, the Emmy award-winning TV series that has topped Netflix's charts and become a symbol of South Korea's ascendance in Hollywood, BBC reported.
The fictional show follows cash-strapped players as they battle it out in a series of traditional Korean children's games - with a gory twist, as losers are killed in every round.
Squid Game has sucked in viewers since 2021 with its candy-coloured sets and bleak messages about capitalism and humanity. And with its third and final season released last Friday, fans across the world are returning to reality.
Some South Koreans, however, have found themselves reflecting on the society that inspired the dystopian series, according to BBC.
Charli, Neil Young and Scissor Sisters give Glastonbury goosebumps
Saturday was a night of four headliners at Glastonbury, with fans facing the cruel choice between pop queen Charli XCX, rock legend Neil Young, disco scamps Scissor Sisters and Doechii - rap's hottest new voice, BBC reported.
Charli XCX won the biggest audience, closing down The Other Stage and turning it into a sweat-drenched, laser lit club night.
Young, topping the bill on the Pyramid Stage, also delivered an all-time hits set, with gnarly, ragged versions of hits like Cinnamon Girl and Like A Hurricane.
Doechii, who only played for 45 minutes, still managed to mark herself out as a future headliner; while Scissor Sisters brought out actual Gandalf Sir Ian McKellen to perform Invisible Light according to BBC.
