Ozzy Osbourne Passes Away: Coldplay, Nirvana, Metallica, ACDC and More Musical Legends Remember Star
Black Sabbath's lead performer, Ozzy Osbourne, who has been the face of the band for many years, passed away on July 22 in the peace of his home. A statement shared by his family mentioned how he was 'surrounded by love' and asked for privacy. Now, the music industry has stepped forward to remember the metal legend that he was, led by his own teammates and fellow performers. Coldplay led a Nashville tribute in the form of a cover of his song Changes, and a heartfelt dedication at their show. Chris Martin was seen saying, 'We'd like to dedicate this whole show to the incredible genius, talent, and character called gift to the world who was Ozzy Osbourne. We send our love to his family. Ozzy, we love you, wherever you're going.' Fellow musicians could not believe the loss to the metal world, and each contributed their share of honor to the 76-year-old. Nirvana dropped a tribute on their X account, 'Thank you Ozzy Osbourne for the inspiration. @BlackSabbath is the template for heavy Rock.' Motörhead shared, 'We lost our dear friend today. Ozzy was a pioneer, a guiding force for all in hard rock and metal, and a great guy too.' Talking about the relationship between their band's frontman with that of Black Sabbath, they said, 'Lemmy and Ozzy were brothers in arms who enjoyed many adventures together, and his loss is seismic. RIP Ozzy, we will always love and celebrate you." AC/DC wrote, 'So sad! A great loss to all that loved him.' Aerosmith celebrated the many contributions of the star, "From Black Sabbath to his solo work, Ozzy redefined what it meant to be heavy. He did it all with heart, grit, and that wild spirit only he could bring.' Metallica continued to remember him in not one but two tributes, 'It's impossible to put into words what Ozzy Osbourne has meant to Metallica. Hero, icon, pioneer, inspiration, mentor, and, most of all, friend are a few that come to mind," they wrote on X crediting Ozzy and Sharon for transforming their lives and careers. Fans from around the world, including well-known celebrities remembered the great musician that the Black Sabbath star was. David Beckham expressed sadness with, "to see Ozzy leave us. Thank you for entertaining us. Sending love to Sharon, the kids & the family". Singer-songwriter Rod Stewart shared, "Bye, bye Ozzy. Sleep well, my friend. I'll see you up there - later rather than sooner". "He was a dear friend and a huge trailblazer who secured his place in the pantheon of rock gods - a true legend," Elton John wrote in an Instagram post. "He was also one of the funniest people I've ever met. I will miss him dearly. To Sharon and the family, I send my condolences and love." Anthrax and Yungblud who performed at the group's last concert expressed disbelief with the band saying, 'Like so many around the world, today's news hit us with truly insane shock and sadness. Ozzy, thank you for everything. Simply put, none of us would be us without you,' and the soloist sharing, 'I didn't think you would leave so soon. The last time we met you were so full of life and your laugh filled up the room. I will never forget you - you will be in every single note I sing and with me every single time I walk on stage. Your cross around my neck is the most precious thing I own. You asked me once if there was anything you could do for me and as I said then and as I will say now for all of us the music was enough,' calling him a GOAT.

Rahul questions PM Modi's silence on Trump's repeated ceasefire claims
New Delhi, July 23 (UNI) Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha (LoP) Rahul Gandhi today again hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, questioning his silence over US President Donald Trump's repeated assertions of brokering a ceasefire deal between India and Pakistan. Speaking to the media in the Parliament House complex, Gandhi raised concerns about the government's foreign policy, national security, and the handling of Operation Sindoor. 'What statement will Prime Minister Modi give… that Trump brokered the ceasefire? He can't say that. But the truth is — Trump did broker the ceasefire, and the whole world knows it,' Gandhi said. He pointed out that Donald Trump has claimed on at least 25 occasions that he was instrumental in brokering the ceasefire deal. 'Who is Trump to broker a ceasefire? That's not his job. Yet Prime Minister Modi hasn't responded even once. This is the truth, and you can't run away from it,' he said while slamming the Modi government for refusing to rebut Trump's statements. Accusing the Modi government of evading critical national issues, the Rae Bareli MP said, 'There are many pressing issues that we want to discuss — from national defence and the defence industry to Operation Sindoor. Those who call themselves patriots have disappeared. The Prime Minister has not made a single public statement'. 'On one hand, the government says Operation Sindoor is ongoing. On the other, it is celebrating victory. And meanwhile, Trump keeps saying he got the ceasefire done. Clearly, something is fishy,' he said. Alleging that India's foreign policy has weakened under the Modi government, Gandhi claimed, 'Not a single country has come forward in our support. The Modi government has torn apart our foreign policy'. UNI RBE AAB

PM Modi to speak on Operation Sindoor in Parliament next week: Reports
Parliament Monsoon Session: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will speak in Parliament on Operation Sindoor next week, reports said on July 23. News agency ANI said Operation Sindoor will be discussed in Parliament next week and in the Rajya Sabha on July 29. The decision was taken during the Business Advisory Committee (BAC) of the upper house on July 23. However, the government has denied the Opposition's demand for a farewell speech by former vice president Jagdeep Dhankhar. The government agreed to the Opposition's demand that the seven MPs who would be retiring be allowed to make farewell speeches. Earlier, the Business Advisory Committee meeting of the Lok Sabha was held on Monday. The Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Union government has agreed to a 16-hour discussion in the Lok Sabha on Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam terror attack. However, this discussion will likely be taken up next week after PM Modi returns from his UK-Maldives tour. The opposition INDIA bloc has, however, insisted that the debate should start this week and that Prime Minister Narendra Modi must reply. Protests by Opposition parties disrupted both houses of Parliament on all the three days of session so far. A report in NDTV said PM will speak in Parliament next week. Congress leader and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his silence over US President Donald Trump's repeated "ceasefire" claims. Suggesting that one can't hide from reality, he said that the entire world knows that Trump announced a "ceasefire" between India and Pakistan. "How can the Prime Minister give a statement? Kya bolenge PM, ki Trump ne karwaya hai? (What will he say? That Trump has announced it? He can't say it, but it is the truth. The entire world knows that Trump has announced a ceasefire. We can't hide from reality," Gandhi told reporters here. "This is not only about a ceasefire. There are several major issues that we would like to discuss related to defence, defence manufacturing, and Operation Sindoor. The condition is not normal; the entire nation knows," he added. Gandhi said the Prime Minister has not been able to provide a single response to Trump's claims about a ceasefire, which he has reiterated 25 times so far. This came after a recent statement made by Donald Trump, where he repeated his claims of "stopping the war between India and Pakistan" in the name of trade deals.
