Ozzy Osbourne dead at 76

Fox News4 days ago
Ozzy Osbourne, the lead singer of Black Sabbath, died Tuesday. He was 76.
"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," the family said in a statement. "He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time."
Osbourne recently performed his final concert with the band in Birmingham, England. The 10-hour show on July 5 was hosted by Jason Momoa, and featured performances from Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Jack Black, Steven Tyler and more.
Osbourne is survived by wife Sharon, daughters Kelly and Aimee, and son Jack, in addition to daughter Jessica, and sons Elliot and Louis from his first marriage to Thelma Riley.
The "Iron Man" singer was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2003. However, he didn't speak publicly about his diagnosis until 2020.
The Black Sabbath frontman admitted that he couldn't walk anymore on a Jan. 29 episode of his Sirius XM show, "Ozzy Speaks." "I may be moaning about how I can't walk, but I look down the road and there's people that didn't do half as much as me, and they didn't make it," he said at the time.
In a July post, daughter Kelly noted that Ozzy's mobility had declined.
"He's not dying," she emphasized. "Yes, he has Parkinson's, and yes, his mobility is completely different than it used to be, but he's not dying. What is wrong with you?"

Gregg Wallace defends John Torode

Gregg Wallace has defended his former MasterChef co-star John Torode after they were both sacked by the BBC. A report into the TV show upheld an allegation of an "extremely offensive racist term being used in the workplace", with John, 60, later identifying himself as the individual alleged to have used racist language in 2018 or 2019. On July 15, the corporation announced that John's contract would not be renewed although Torode has denied using a racist word and said he has "no recollection" of using racist language. Gregg, 60, told The Sun newspaper: "I'll tell you one thing right now: John Torode is not a racist. "I've known John for 30 years and he is not a racist. 'And as evidence of that, I'll show you the incredible diversity of the people that he has championed, MasterChef winners, over the years. "There is no way that man is a racist. No way. And my sympathies go out to John because I don't want anybody to go through what I've been through.' Gregg was also sacked by the BBC after the investigation into his alleged inappropriate behaviour was released, with 45 out of 83 allegations substantiated, including claims of inappropriate sexual language, humour, and one reported incident of "unwelcome physical contact". And, while Gregg has admitted he made mistakes, he denied the allegations against him. He said: 'I'm not saying I'm not guilty of stuff, but so much has been perceived incorrectly. Things that really hurt me and hurt my family.'
