His daughter Kelly Osbourne, 40, posted a touching tribute, quoting lyrics from 'Changes,' a song she had recorded with her dad in 2003. She wrote: "I feel unhappy, I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had." Just weeks before Ozzy's death, Kelly had got engaged to her partner Sid Wilson, 48, at Ozzy's last concert.
Live Events
Ozzy's final performance took place on July 5 at Villa Park Stadium in Birmingham, and it raised £140 million for charity. That concert supported causes like Acorns Children's Hospice, Birmingham Children's Hospital, and Cure Parkinson's, according to the report by The Sun.
A legend remembered around the world
Many celebrities including Sir Rod Stewart, Noel Gallagher, and Sir Elton John shared heartfelt tributes after the news broke. Friends say there's talk of a public celebration in Birmingham, which Ozzy loved deeply. Artist Yungblud might play a role in that event, as Ozzy believed he could carry forward the rock legacy.
Plans are being made for a private funeral, followed by this larger tribute event for fans and fellow musicians. Ozzy earned the title "Prince of Darkness" during his six-decade career, becoming famous for his wild stage acts and heavy metal style. He once bit the head off a bat on stage in 1982, thinking it was fake. He had to get rabies shots afterward.
He also snorted a line of ants during a wild tour with Mötley Crüe in the 1980s. In one of his final interviews in May, Ozzy talked about his strict health routine, saying he was constantly monitored by doctors and in bed by 7 PM. He wore a heart-rate monitoring device and had his blood pressure checked 15 times a day.

Ozzy said, "I'm just taking it one day at a time. Ask him upstairs. In my case, the one below." At his last concert, fans chanted for him, and Ozzy smiled and thanked them, saying this would be his final show due to his health.
Jim Simpson, Black Sabbath's first manager, praised Ozzy for touching people of all ages and said the band remains hugely popular even 55 years later. Jim added Ozzy once said he might die on stage during his July 5 performance, hinting he knew his time was near Simpson described Ozzy as a "nice, balanced human being" and said the world has lost someone very special, according to the report by The Sun.

Aamir Khan's film goes pay-per-view on YouTube, gives OTT giants a miss
Mumbai: Aamir Khan Productions has partnered with YouTube to release Sitaare Zameen Par on a pay-per-view basis in a potentially significant move, said people familiar with the development. This marks the first time in recent memory a Hindi film featuring a major star has not been licensed to a dominant subscription video-on-demand ( SVOD ) platform such as Netflix, Prime Video or JioHotstar, opting instead for a pay-per-view strategy via the world's largest video platform.

However, they noted that it's still unclear how long he will delay the SVOD release following the pay-per-view window. Aamir Khan Productions and YouTube declined to comment. The film is likely to move to YouTube early next month. While the industry typically follows an eight-week window for streaming on SVOD platforms, Khan recently said that all his films will follow a six-month theatrical run to protect box office revenues. The film was released on June 20 in theatres. "It's a bold move by an A-list star, and all eyes will be on how much the film can earn from pay-per-view, as well as how long Aamir Khan plans to keep it there before releasing it on an SVOD platform," said Shariq Patel, former CEO of Zee Studios. Film is expected to be priced at ₹99. Netflix and Prime Video continue to dominate India's post-theatrical streaming market. According to Media Partners Asia, producers' streaming revenues have grown to 1.5 times their net theatrical share, making it a critical monetisation channel. However, the FICCI-EY 2025 report shows that streaming rights revenue in India fell to ₹3,100 crore, down from ₹3,500 crore in 2023 and ₹3,300 crore in 2022, as platforms cut back on content spending in pursuit of profitability. Still, not everyone sees this as a replicable model. Abundantia Entertainment CEO Vikram Malhotra noted that such an approach may work better for mid-budget films than big-budget ones, which often depend on upfront OTT deals for financial recovery. "Therefore, it's unlikely to serve as a viable financial model across the board, especially for films with higher break-even points. That said, it's an interesting and important experiment whose impact and sustainability will become clearer over time," he said. Suniel Wadhwa, a veteran distributor, cofounder and director of Karmic Films, said: " Film distribution through YouTube may not be remunerative for all actors or producers. It is a long-gestation affair. It will work only for well-established or A-list actors who have a huge or unique following. Besides this, it will be a practical alternative only for producers who have capacity to wait and earn revenues in the long-term." Sitaare Zameen Par is said to have been made on a budget of under ₹100 crore. As an in-house production, Khan has reportedly waived his fee, potentially making the model more viable. The film has collected ₹166.2 crore in India and ₹263.7 crore worldwide, according to box office tracker Sacnilk. Malhotra added that while the pay-per-view model has been tried before, it hasn't gained traction, largely because audiences favour subscription platforms offering a wider content library. Ajay Phutane, a veteran of film distribution and marketing, said digital distribution is becoming increasingly important as theatre footfalls decline post-pandemic. "The fall in theatrical viewership is directly tied to the rise in digital subscribers," he said. "A ₹99 pay-per-view release on YouTube is a significant step, especially given its vast reach. With many single screens shut and limited theatres in tier 2 and tier 3 cities, YouTube offers a more economical and convenient alternative as viewers can watch at their own time, place, and pace."

Tom Lehrer dies at 97: Satirical singer found dead at home; Harvard math genius famed for taboo-breaking songs
Tom Lehrer (Picture source: X) Tom Lehrer, the sharp-witted American singer and satirist known for his darkly comic songs, has died at the age of 97. He was found dead on Saturday at his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Lehrer first found fame in the 1950s with his self-produced albums, but it was the 1960s TV show That Was the Week That Was that brought his biting humour to a wider audience. Despite his cult following, Lehrer always saw himself primarily as a mathematician. He taught at Harvard, MIT and later at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where he spent most of his later life. Known for tackling taboo topics through satire, such as war, drug use, and religion, Lehrer's songs like The Masochism Tango, Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, and The Vatican Rag pushed boundaries during the Eisenhower era. His 1965 album That Was the Year That Was hit No. 18 on the US charts. Born in New York to a Jewish family, Lehrer was a prodigy who entered Harvard at 15. Though he left showbiz early, his work remained popular, featured in radio shows, stage revues, and re-released albums. Lehrer never married and had no children.

Do This Every Morning Wellnee Undo On Friday, a Supreme Court bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi said the filmmakers appeal against the high court order staying the release was infructuous as they accepted the July 21 order of the Centre clearing the release of the film subject to six cuts in its scenes and modifications in the disclaimer. The bench further had said it has not expressed any opinion on merit and the high court can adjudicate the issue of stay of release of film. Live Events It also directed Jamiat Ulema-i-Hind president Maulana Arshad Madani and Mohd Javed, who is an accused in the Kanhaiya Lal murder case, to move the high court against the Centre's decision. The Delhi High Court had stayed the film's release on a Madani's plea on July 10, invoking powers of the Central Government under Section 6 of the Cinematograph Act, 1952, till the representation is decided by the Central Government, for which the high court granted one week time. The filmmakers claimed to have received a Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) certificate with the board suggesting 55 cuts and the film was due to be released on July 11. Udaipur-based tailor Kanhaiya Lal was murdered in June 2022 allegedly by Mohammad Riyaz and Mohammad Ghous. The assailants later released a video claiming that the murder was in reaction to the tailor allegedly sharing a social media post in support of former BJP member Nupur Sharma following her controversial comments on Prophet Mohammed. The case was probed by the NIA and the accused were booked under the stringent Unlawful Activities Prevention Act , besides provisions under IPC. The trial is pending before the special NIA court in Jaipur. (With agency inputs)
