Hulk Hogan and Ozzy Osbourne memecoins jumped crazy after their deaths After a rapid heart attack, 71-year-old Hulk Hogan passed away on Thursday, July 24, 2025. Known for his run in WWE throughout the 1980s, he was one of the most well-known wrestlers in the whole globe. Ozzy Osbourne, 76, died just a few days earlier on Monday, July 21. Leading the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, which has sold more than 75 million records worldwide, he went by the moniker "Prince of Darkness". Right after the news of their deaths, fans flooded the internet with tributes. This also led to sudden interest in crypto tokens named after them. A token on the Ethereum chain called HULKMANAIA (HULK), made only 8 hours before the surge, went up by 122,000%. It reached a price of $0.001335. Another token on the Solana blockchain, The Mad Man (OZZY), rose by 16,800% and reached $0.003851, with a market cap of nearly $3.85 million. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo But experts warn that these tokens are very risky.

Ozzy Osbourne gives emotional interview ahead of last Black Sabbath gig

Ozzy Osbourne gives emotional interview ahead of last Black Sabbath gig Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath will headline their final gig on July 5th at Villa Park in Birmingham, as part of an event titled "Back To The Beginning". Ozzy says it is definitely the last show adding "and what a way to go out". This show will reunite the original band members – Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward – for the first time in 20 years. ‌ The band played its "last" gig in 2017 in Birmingham with Osborne, guitarist Iommi and bassist Butler but without Ward on drums. Ozzy, who is suffering from Parkinson's disease, told last month how he has been having physical therapy and training with a trainer virtually living with him in Los Angeles in a bid to get him fit enough to perform on stage after a catalogue of illnesses. Here he gives what is likely to be his last interview ahead of the weekend's show, which will also be available for fans to watch on a live stream.. ‌ What does this show mean to you personally? OZZY: It's my final encore; it's my chance to say thank you to my fans for always supporting me and being there for me. How does it feel to be playing your final show in Birmingham? OZZY: I couldn't have done my final show anywhere else. I had to go back to the beginning. What do you hope fans take away from Back to the Beginning? OZZY: I hope they feel appreciated for how much they mean to me. ‌ Why was a live stream important for this performance? OZZY: We never meant to have a livestream; it wasn't in our plan. I was just surprised how many people we were contacted by to do one, and so it seemed a great chance for people who didn't have the opportunity to get a ticket to be able to see the show Can you share any memories about Villa Park or performing in your hometown? ‌ OZZY: My memories of Villa Park when I was growing up were: Every Saturday when there was a match, I would go out with my friends and stand outside the Villa asking people for a shilling to watch their car. What does this line-up of legends mean to you? OZZY: It means everything, I am forever in their debt for showing up for me and the fans. I can't quite put it into words, but I feel very emotional and blessed. Do you see this as a goodbye or the beginning of something else? OZZY: It's a goodbye as far as my live performances go, and what a way to go out.

Experiences cost £65 per adult, £30 for over-fives ( We're in Carmarthenshire, a county in South Wales that most tourists drive through on their way to Pembrokeshire – more fool them. The wide, sandy beaches here hug the coastline for miles, majestic castles perch on hilltops and local delicacies are plentiful. A Bug's Life First to win over the kids is Llanelli Wetland Centre with the pinkest (and smelliest!) flamingos I've ever seen, thanks to our visit coinciding with mating season. But the highlight is undoubtedly a minibeast hunt, after which volunteer Eric pops the children's finds – a millipede, slug and spider – under a microscope and gives us a zoology lesson way more interesting than I ever had at school. Who knew slugs poo out of their heads? Entry costs £11.15 per adult, £7.20 for over-threes ( Home for the week is Dylan Coastal Resort, where our swish three-bedroom spa lodge has all the mod-cons and a hot tub to soak up stunning vistas of the Taf Estuary. On-site is the floor-to-ceiling glass-fronted Milk Wood Spa with yet more gorgeous views of the ever-changing tide from its sauna, steam room, indoor pool and alfresco hydrotherapy pool.

Underrated towns you need to visit The vibe is super-family-friendly, with a brilliant basket of games to borrow and fantastic food.

Pizza perfection comes in the Ultimate Hawaiian (sorry, Italians) with its ham hock, chargrilled pineapple, jalapeños, fresh corn and onion. We also dig the Lamb-orgini – roast lamb, caramelised onion, feta and mint yoghurt and the Wild Hog, smothered in wild boar ragù with hog salami and piquanté peppers, £17.50 each ( Castle on the hill Wales has more castles per square mile than any other country in the world, so we picnic on leftover pizza the next day in the dreamy grounds of Dinefwr Castle ( Dinefwr delivers ramparts, towers and plenty of hidden nooks for hide and seek, plus there's a parkland with deer and roaming long-horned White Park cattle – residents here since the 9th century. 8 It shore is nice at Dylan Coastal Resort Credit: Supplied 8 Poppy enjoys the sun and sand at Pembrey beach Credit: Supplied by Catherine Bennion Pedley Parking costs £5 for non-National-Trust members, while castle and parkland entry is free. During our days exploring this enchanting county, Wright's Food Emporium proves a smart stop-off. The deli is stuffed with local goodies and the pork belly cubano – with its positively obscene slabs of pork belly layered with ham, cheddar, pickles and sriracha mayo inside the fluffiest of ciabatta, £14.50 – is possibly the best sandwich I've ever devoured ( I'm also a firm believer in elevenses, so I'm thrilled to discover that the Gwili Steam Railway serves Welsh elevenses on board. We sip tea (hot choc for the kids) and feast on Welsh cakes and bara brith (fruit loaf) as the train, operated by the sweetest fanatics, trundles past grazing animals and the crystal-clear Gwili river. We hop off to explore an old mail train and ride the miniature railway, before returning to base in Carmarthen. Tickets cost from £13 per person ( Cool runnings One of my favourite memories from childhood holidays in Wales is whizzing down a bobsleigh-like toboggan ride, and the country's longest is at Pembrey Country Park, a 500-acre haven of beach, woodland and grassland. Soon, husband Andy and I are racing down the metal track on sleds, Poppy and Raffy on our laps squealing with delight. 8 Tuck into terrific dishes at Ty Glo where the vibe is super-family-friendly Credit: Instagram 8 The Gwili Steam Railway serves Welsh elevenses on board Credit: John Jones Three rides cost £7.50 ( The day flies by just as fast, as we follow a bear trail through the pine forest, clamber over dunes and fly kites on the golden sands. A local tipped me off about Pantri Lolfa, a gorgeous cafe nearby, so we're fuelled by excellent coffee and gooey brownies. Later, as the sky turns crimson, citrus-cured salmon with seaweed, pickled cucumber and a champagne sauce, £11.50, plus crab tagliatelle, £24, make for a tasty tea at Dylan Coastal Resort's Milk Wood House. Horse play I always love the idea of horse riding, only to usually spend the entire trek afraid I'll be bucked off.

Having learned the basics – start, stop, steer – we ride through the farm's ancient woodland and I'm pretty certain the kids are now dreaming of owning a pony. A one-hour trek costs from £42 per person ( Our last night is spent in Laugharne's Dexters at Browns, the older sister of Ty Glo and a steak-lover's dream. Andy and I splash out on 40-day aged chateaubriand with dauphinoise potatoes, creamed spinach with rarebit topping and béarnaise sauce, £76, paired with glasses of primitivo, £7.75, as the kids tuck into mini rump meals, £12 each ( It's certainly an upgrade from my mum's meat and potato pie, often squished from the long journey down in the boot of our car as a kid. But just as those precious memories hold a special place in my heart, retracing family holidays with my own little ones now holds a special place, too.
