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.

Peacemaker Season 2 trailer out: John Cena returns with new villains, major twists, and DC Universe crossover

After more than three years, Peacemaker is back — and judging by the explosive new trailer, Season 2 promises an even wilder ride. The HBO Max series, created and directed by James Gunn, returns on August 21, picking up after the events of 'The Suicide Squad' (2021) and the recently released 'Superman' (2025), as part of the newly launched DC Universe (DCU). The trailer opens with Ozzy Osbourne's 'Road to Nowhere', a fitting nod to the heavy-metal energy of the show and a subtle tribute to the iconic rocker following his tragic passing away. From there, it's all chaos, grief, and gunfire as John Cena's Chris Smith, aka Peacemaker, confronts not only new enemies but also the emotional wreckage of his past decisions. This season, Peacemaker is being hunted from all sides, still grappling with the emotional fallout after killing Rick Flag Jr. and the trauma of his relationship with his father. Fans get a glimpse of a new White Dragon costume — this time in blue — hinting that Auggie Smith may reappear in visions, as he did during the Season 1 finale, or that someone else might be taking up his twisted legacy. Season 2 boasts an impressive line-up of villains. James Gunn has confirmed six major antagonists, including Frank Grillo's Rick Flag Sr., who's bent on avenging his son. Sean Gunn joins as Maxwell Lord, a morally ambiguous figure connected to Justice League recruitment, while Brey Noelle makes her live-action debut as White Rabbit, a wealthy socialite with cloning powers and super speed. Returning cast members include Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, and Robert Patrick, with new additions Sol Rodríguez, David Denman, Tim Meadows, and Michael Rooker adding fresh energy to the ensemble. Unlike Season 1, which was rooted in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), Season 2 is part of the soft-rebooted DC Universe. Though the world around Peacemaker has changed, the character remains as unpredictable and emotionally layered as ever. With James Gunn back as showrunner, 'Peacemaker' Season 2 promises to blend over-the-top action with sharp humour and surprising emotional depth. If the trailer is anything to go by, Cena's antihero isn't just fighting villains — he's fighting himself.

Sandler said Kelce was easy to work with and had 'great comedic instincts,' which explains why the cameo has become a highlight of the sequel.

Anupam Kher makes big statement on Operation Sindoor hero Colonel Sofia Qureshi, says, ‘Presented her…'

After the Pahalgam attack shook the nation, the Indian Army launched Operation Sindoor, targeting and destroying several terrorist bases across the border. Amid the operation, one face stood out—not from the battlefield, but the briefing room. Colonel Sophia Qureshi, a high-ranking officer in the Indian Army's Corps of Signals, led media briefings, keeping the nation informed and composed during the tense period. Who is Colonel Sophia Qureshi? Sophia isn't just another officer in uniform. She made history as the first Indian woman to lead a military contingent at an international exercise. With clarity, calmness, and courage, she became the Army's voice after the Pahalgam attack. Her presence wasn't just a performance—it was reassurance. Anupam Kher meets Sophia Qureshi Veteran actor Anupam Kher, who is currently promoting his new film Tanvi the Great, recently met Colonel Sophia and shared their interaction on Instagram. In the photo, he's seen gifting her his book. His caption read, 'OPERATION SINDOOR: I was extremely HAPPY and deeply HONOURED to meet Col. #sofiyaqureshi recently and present her my fourth #SelfHelp book #DifferentButNoLess! She epitomises the grace, valour, dignity and bravery of #IndianArmy. Thank you Col. Qureshi for your warmth and appreciation! Jai Hind! #Proud' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anupam Kher (@anupampkher) The post has since gone viral, with fans calling the moment 'real patriotism'. What's 'Tanvi the Great' and how is it connected? Kher's film, Tanvi the Great, which tells the story of a young girl fighting against all odds to chase her dreams, has just been granted tax-free status in Delhi, following its earlier declaration as tax-free in Madhya Pradesh. Sharing the update, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta wrote on social platform X, ' I am pleased to share that the Delhi Government has declared the film 'Tanvi the Great' tax-free in the state. With an impactful narrative of inclusion, the film is an inspiring story of a young, 'special' girl-Tanvi, who is determined to achieve her dreams against all odds. Tanvi's story is emotional and inspirational. We are committed to promoting films that strengthen the spirit of Rashtra Seva, ignites patriotism, and awakens the conscience of the nation. Best wishes to the entire team of the film. @AnupamPKher' I am pleased to share that the Delhi Government has declared the film 'Tanvi the Great' tax-free in the state. With an impactful narrative of inclusion, the film is an inspiring story of a young, 'special' girl-Tanvi, who is determined to achieve her dreams against all odds.… — Rekha Gupta (@gupta_rekha) July 23, 2025 From Colonel Sophia's real-life bravery to a film that celebrates courage in another form, this moment reminds us that strength wears many faces. Sometimes it's in uniform, other times in the cinema. But both spark something real: pride, purpose, and power.
