Ozzy Osbourne bid to trademark Prince of Darkness nickname days before he died

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) OZZY Osbourne filed documents to trademark his Prince of Darkness moniker just days before he died. Papers show he filed a request for his nickname to be protected against bootleggers on June 13, The Sun can reveal.

The company has also asked for trademark protection to sell clothes, games and accessories. Attorneys at the government-run department have yet to rubber-stamp the requests, although a similar application has been passed by UK trademark chiefs. Ozzy performed his farewell gig with Black Sabbath on July 5, raising £140million for charity. But fans may get another chance to see the band on stage. We told last month how Black Sabbath had trademarked their name in virtual reality. This means they could appear as holograms, like ABBA, whose London avatar show Voyage has been running since 2022. Tens of thousands of fans paid their respects to Ozzy at his funeral in his home city of Birmingham last Wednesday. They left a sea of flowers, messages and tributes at Black Sabbath Bench on Broad Street. Yesterday, the city council began gathering up the tributes so they could be stored and handed over to the Osbourne family. A spokesman said: 'They will be passed on to the family as a lasting reminder of the public's affection and support.'

On a random summer night, a bouncer perched outside Bar Snack called out to me and other passersby on the street, luring us with the promise of great drinks, great food and "the best bathroom in the East Village." Reader: I am here to tell you—he was right. But if a disco-fresh bathroom isn't enough to tempt you in, the convivial nature and solid list of tasty cocktails (and snacks!) found at Bar Snack certainly will. The vibe: After surveying the East Village and its many, many (expensive) cocktail bars, bartender Iain Griffiths and Brooklyn-based bar owner Oliver Cleary decided they wanted to create something—and so they did, serving "dressed-up classics for dressed-down people." The inside gives off '70s lounge—think wood paneling and a dark, walnut-wood bar lined with glittery orange bar stools. Snagging a seat during the nighttime hours can prove difficult as this bar certainly attracts a crowd, making standing room your best bet. But even the daytime can bring a rowdy good time, as rock and throwback hits (hello Spice Girls!) blare through the speakers. The food: Snack is in the name, isn't it? And snacks, they do so well. Fried cheese curds are tossed in pickle dust and hot dogs get a little fancy with onion jam and a hot pickle. Even the drinks come with a little something, take the chicken skin chicharron that tips on the side of the Boat Snack Martini ($18). But the snack of all snacks is the Spice Bag ($18). Leaning on Griffith's Irish roots, the bag comes to the table in a white paper bag labeled "Spice Bag" fashioned in the style of the Spice Girls logo. As much as you'll want to save it, you must rip it open to reveal buttermilk-fried tendies, fries and peppers. Drizzle on the orange-y curry sauce and get to eating while its still steaming hot. The drinks: The menu is split up into "Crushers" and "Shooters," plus a dedicated daiquiri section with pitchers and tiny sippers, such as the Snaquiri ($12). The bar improves upon the classics, as the whiskey sour riff, the Split Ends ($18), incorporates raspberry and a smooth topper of Guinness, and the Verte Drip ($117) drinks like a mojito but better, swapping out cloyingly sweet notes with a light coconut float and a bit of matcha for depth. Yet the frozens are most definitely a fave, whether it's beach weather outside or not. The Mama Tried ($16) drinks like a limeaid popsicle but with a touch of smoke, thanks to a blend of triple citrus sorbet, mezcal and St. Germain.
