Chappell Roan Gives Second Album Update: 'There Is No Album'
'The second project doesn't exist yet,' Chappell recently told Vogue. 'There is no album. There is no collection of songs.' So, that's a definite no on a new album, and a likely no on any hopes of a mixtape or EP to tide us over.
I think I speak for all Chappell fans when I say, we're not mad, we're just disappointed for our playlists. Though, we really shouldn't be, because the Grammy winner has plenty of very good reasons for taking her time.
Her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess was only released two years ago, and she's essentially been performing it and promoting it ever since. Yes, she's dropped a few songs in the last year or so—'Good Luck, Babe!,' 'The Giver,' and now 'The Subway'—but three singles does not a new album make.
You know what does make an album, according to Chappell? Time. 'It took me five years to write the first one, and it's probably going to take at least five to write the next. I'm not that type of writer that can pump it out,' she told Vogue.
As for all the fans begging her to get back in the studio, Chappell says she's seen the memes, but you should know, it doesn't help much. 'I don't think I make good music whenever I force myself to do anything,' she said. 'I see some comments sometimes, like, 'She's everywhere except that damn studio.' Even if I was in the studio 12 hours a day, every single day, that does not mean that you would get an album any faster.'
Oh, and you also shouldn't expect a lot of updates on how that second album is coming along, either. 'The album process is purely, only mine,' she told the mag. 'No one on TikTok gets to see it.'

Ozzy Osbourne's cause of death revealed at age 76: report
Ozzy Osbourne's cause of death has been revealed. The Black Sabbath frontman officially died at age 76 from cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease and Parkinson's disease on July 22, according to a death certificate obtained by The Sun on Tuesday. 13 Ozzy Osbourne during a performance in the UK on June 10, 2018.

They stated Osbourne died 'surrounded by love.' 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,' they said. 'He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.' 13 Ozzy Osbourne visits the SiriusXM Studios in NYC on December 11, 2014. Getty Images The heavy metal icon confirmed his Parkinson's diagnosis in 2020. Osbourne had also undergone multiple surgeries in recent years, including going under the knife for a debilitating spinal injury in 2019. Three years before his passing, Osbourne revealed just how he wanted to be remembered. The legendary rocker said 'survival is my legacy' during a 2022 interview with People. 'I mean, I'm 73. People go, 'Well, you're 70… why don't I throw the towel in?' Why should I? People still want to buy my records,' Osbourne told the outlet at the time. 'People still want to see me, so why should I? It motivates me to get off my backside and do something. I mean, if my career had gone down the toilet and I knew it was the end, I'd be pretty miserable.' 13 Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne pose for a picture as excited fans cheer in the background. Broadimage/Shutterstock Osbourne also noted what he wished to instill in others. 'Never give up,' he shared. 'If you've got a passion for something, you've got to find a way around it to carry on the passion.' In 2018, Osbourne got candid on his stature in the music industry, which included three Grammy wins and being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice. He was inducted in 2006 with Black Sabbath and again as a solo artist in 2024. 'I'd like to be remembered for the work I did with Black Sabbath,' he told The Guardian. 'I'm so proud of the music. But to be honest, just being remembered would be an achievement to me.' 13 Ozzy Osbourne in Centenary Square, Birmingham on July 6, 2007. SWNS 'I come from Aston in Birmingham, y'know? I used to play on bomb sites,' he continued. 'There's a guy living in the house I grew up in, and they charge people £200 to sleep in the bedroom I had as a kid.' Osbourne had a troubling few years before his death. 'It's been five years of absolute hell for me and the family,' he confessed while on 'Piers Morgan Uncensored' in Sept. 2023. 13 Ozzy Osbourne performing in Moscow in August 1989.

The Prince of Darkness stated: 'I have Parkinson's — but I never think about it.' He was originally diagnosed in 2003, but kept it private for 17 years. Sharon, 72, Jack, 39, and Kelly, 40, were also in attendance during the interview. 13 Tony Iommi, Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward of Black Sabbath in 1970.

WireImage The producer told Morgan, 60, that the 'biggest misconception' about his dad's condition was that Parkinson's was his only health challenge. 'It's really the neck injury and the fall that he took,' Jack explained. In 2019, Osbourne fell and suffered a major neck injury that required surgery. He previously hurt his neck in 2000 during a bike crash. 'I just got up and carried on but I had broken my neck, and I carried on working with it until I had that fall, and then just everything came undone,' he recalled. 13 Ozzy Osbourne being interviewed about Black Sabbath's new album 'Sabotage' at Bronze Records offices in London in 1975.

'Suddenly you're off in another direction and your life changes so drastically. It's really hard. For the last five years, our life has changed dramatically.' 'But on the other hand,' Sharon noted, 'it's great that I've had Ozzy at home for five years. He's driving me crazy, but we've been together everyday for five years.' In 2023, Osbourne canceled his tour three months before it was scheduled to kick off due to health issues. 13 Black Sabbath fans pay tribute to Ozzy Osbourne in Birmingham, England on July 23, 2025.

'I don't fear dying,' Osbourne admitted. 'But I don't want to have a long, painful and miserable existence. I like the idea that if you have a terminal illness, you can go to a place in Switzerland and get it done quickly. I saw my father die of cancer.' Two weeks prior to his death, the musician took to the stage for one final show. He performed at Black Sabbath's 'Back to the Beginning' farewell concert in his hometown of Birmingham, England. 13 Ozzy Osbourne during a Black Sabbath concert in Los Angeles in 1974.

'It's just such heartbreaking news that I can't really find the words,' he added, 'there won't ever be another like him. Geezer, Bill and myself have lost our brother.' 'My thoughts go out to Sharon and all the Osbourne family. Rest in Pease, Oz. Tony.'

Billie Eilish Hits A Rare Albums Chart Milestone
Billie Eilish adds another show of longevity to her already impressive list of wins this week as one of her most celebrated releases hits a landmark that only a relatively small number of albums ever come close to. More than three years after its release, Happier Than Ever is still connecting with listeners in the United Kingdom in a big way, and this frame is a special one for the Grammy-nominated set. Happier Than Ever Hits 150 Weeks This week, Happier Than Ever dips to No. 49 on the Official Albums chart, slipping from No. 35. As it declines outside the top 40, it reaches 150 weeks on the ranking of the most consumed full‑lengths in the U.K. Eilish first debuted the set at No. 1, and since then, it has remained a consistent performer in the country. Billie Eilish's Third Release to Stay This Long Happier Than Ever is Eilish's third release to live on the main albums chart for at least 150 weeks. Her debut full‑length, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, has racked up 259 weeks on the tally, while her breakout EP Don't Smile at Me has reached 247 stays. Happier Than Ever Rises on Some Rankings While Happier Than Ever declines on the main albums and streaming charts, it climbs on several other lists across the pond this week. The project improves to No. 31 on the Official Albums Sales chart, up from No. 46, and jumps to No. 30 on the Official Physical Albums ranking, rising from No. 42. It has previously peaked at No. 1 on nearly every major U.K. albums list, but it did miss the summit on the streaming tally by just one slot. Billie Eilish's Catalog Benefits From Her Tour All of Eilish's full‑lengths are currently charting in the U.K., and they recently surged as her ongoing Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour visited the nation. Hit Me Hard and Soft and When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? remain on the Official Albums chart and appear on several other rankings at the same time. Singles like 'Birds of a Feather' and 'Wildflower' are also holding on across various lists, powering her latest full-length, which she's promoting on her global trek.

Viral photos from their wedding day capture the day's unique vibe, featuring a vintage glam style and flair. Monica – known to push the limits of fashion – chose black instead of white for her wedding editorial. She shared images with fans on August 3. The 'Boy Is Mine' co-tour star looked breathtaking in a black off-the-shoulder gown that hugged her body and showed off her gorgeous curves. The gown featured sheer mesh panels at the neckline and sleeves, along with simple details. Bringing in the real wedding-bell drama, Monica topped off her floor-length garment with exaggerated blush-toned feather cuff details from La Pointe that screamed luxe. She paired the dress and fur with a black mini Hermès Kelly bag, gorgeous lashes, a soft matte nude lip, and cascading jet black waves with face-framing bangs. Her look was a combination of old Hollywood and modern bride – as iconic as Monica is herself. Anthony matched her energy, wearing a crisp white double-breasted tuxedo jacket with satin lapels, styled with a black bowtie and pants. He elevated his matrimonial moment with a jewel brooch on his lapel and kept his hair close-cut. The couple has been together since late 2023. Anthony, who's a power player in the entertainment industry ( BMF, Chris Brown, etc) has been Monica's quiet counterpart. In her words, he's a partner who lets her be soft. In an interview with HelloBeautiful , Monica opened up about how this relationship is different: 'When you fall in love with someone that's been your friend for a very long time, I think it's different… I'm enjoying being supported.
