The death of legendary rock star Ozzy Osbourne on Tuesday has brought to light again. An agreement between the late star and his wife, Sharon Osbourne, that they had made decades ago.

Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne died on Tuesday at the age of 76.

Ozzy Osbourne, founder of the band Black Sabbath and who also had a significant solo career, was last seen performing just a few weeks ago when he took the stage at a farewell concert on July 5 in Birmingham, England.

Osbourne, who had been suffering from Parkinson’s disease for years, sat in a leather chair on stage during the show. Just over 2 weeks later, the 76-year-old star passed away surrounded by his family and loved ones.

“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. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time,” a statement from the family read.

The sad news was signed by Ozzy’s wife Sharon Osbourne and his children Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.

Osbourne’s wife, Sharon Osbourne, said in her 2007 autobiography Survivor: My Story – The Next Chapter that she was very afraid of developing dementia like her father. Because of this, Sharon said that she had long ago made a deal with her husband Ozzy about euthanasia – or assisted death – if either of them developed dementia.

“If this disease is to be my fate, I don’t want to repeat history and go through what my father has gone through,” she wrote then. “I’ve discussed it with my family and we have a plan in place. My kids would take me to Switzerland where euthanasia is legal, and you can die with dignity.”

She later confirmed this to the British newspaper The Mirror, “Ozzy and I have absolutely come to the same decision. We believe 100 per cent in euthanasia so have drawn up plans to go to the assisted suicide flat in Switzerland if we ever have an illness that affects our brains. If Ozzy or I ever got Alzheimer’s, that’s it – we’d be off.”

“We gathered the kids around the kitchen table, told them our wishes and they’ve all agreed to go with it.

“I saw my father suffer from the day he came back into my life in 2002 to the day he died in July. There’s no way I could go through what he did, or put my kids through that,” she went on.

“At least with something like cancer you can communicate, say how you feel and explain why your body hurts.”

“But my father deteriorated at such a rapid speed he became a shell of himself – dribbling, wearing a diaper and tied into a wheelchair because he didn’t realise he could no longer walk.”

“Some say the disease is hereditary so at the first sign I want to be put out of my misery.”

“Ozzy and I have asked our lawyers to make the appropriate arrangements. It’s taken away some of the fear of our ending and is a final gift of love to our kids.”

Ozzy Osbourne first publicly revealed in 2019 that he had Parkinson’s disease, which limited his mobility and required multiple spinal surgeries. However, after the rock legend’s death on July 22, his family has not yet publicly announced the cause of death.

However, Ozzy’s deteriorating health has been in the headlines since the beginning of the year, which also brought into the headlines his wife Sharon’s previous talks about a euthanasia agreement. However, the couple’s daughter Kelly denied in the summer that her parents have a suicide pact.

“Stop making articles or posts about how you think my parents are having a suicide pact,” she said. “That was bulls–t my mom said to get attention one time. And my dad’s not dying. Stop,” she said according to E! News.

However, Sharon Osbourne herself spoke openly about the euthanasia agreement with her children in 2023 on the family’s own The Osbournes Podcast.

– Do you think we’re going to suffer instead? Mental suffering is enough pain without physical pain. If you suffer pain with your mind and body, then it’s goodbye, Sharon Osbourne said at the time.

Kelly’s daughter tried to question her mother’s attitude at that time, asking her what if she still had a chance to survive despite her possible illness?

Yeah, what if you survive and you can’t wipe your own butt, you pee everywhere, you poop, and you can’t eat, Sharon choked on her child’s words.

Ozzy Osbourne also spoke out about his possible decision regarding euthanasia in 2014, should he face a “life-threatening condition.”

In a 2014 conversation with the Daily Mirror, Ozzy addressed the subject of physician-assisted suicide explaining that it now included any “life-threatening condition.”

“If I can’t live my life the way I’m living it now — and I don’t mean financially — then that’s it…[Switzerland],” he told the publication. “If I can’t get up and go to the bathroom myself and I’ve got tubes up my ass and an enema in my throat, then I’ve said to Sharon, ‘Just turn the machine off.’ If I had a stroke and was paralyzed, I don’t want to be here. I’ve made a will and it’s all going to Sharon if I die before her, so ultimately it will all go to the kids.”

On December 9, 1980, something remarkable happened on stage—an unforgettable moment of grief, respect, and musical unity. Just one day after the tragic assassination of John Lennon, the members of Queen, shaken and stunned like the rest of the world, stepped onto the stage during their concert in London and delivered a tribute that would be remembered for decades: a live performance of Lennon’s most iconic anthem, “Imagine.”

The venue was Wembley Arena, and the occasion was part of Queen’s Game Tour, already one of the most successful runs of their career. But on this night, the crowd was different. The air was heavy with emotion. Lennon’s death had only just been announced the day before. The audience wasn’t just there to be entertained—they were there to mourn, to feel, to heal.

Freddie Mercury, usually a commanding and flamboyant showman, was quieter, more contemplative. As he took to the piano, the audience began to understand something special was happening. Without fanfare, Queen began to play Imagine—not with their usual flair, but with sincerity and restraint. Freddie’s vocals were subdued yet powerful, letting the emotion in the room carry the song as much as the melody itself.

More Than a Cover—A Message

Queen wasn’t known for performing covers mid-tour, especially not stripped-down ones like this. But Lennon’s legacy loomed large over every musician of the time—especially artists like Queen, who had forged their paths through the boundaries that bands like The Beatles first tore down. For Queen, playing “Imagine” was more than a musical tribute. It was a statement of solidarity, an act of mourning, and a message of peace.

They didn’t need flashing lights or stadium theatrics. They had the crowd singing along, some in tears, others simply swaying in silence. Queen’s rendition of Imagine was not performed to impress—it was performed to remember.

Legacy of the Performance

Though never released on an official album, the performance lived on through bootleg tapes, video snippets, and the emotional retellings of fans who were lucky enough to witness it. Queen continued to perform Imagine throughout their 1980 European shows, extending the tribute far beyond a single night. Each time, the emotion was just as raw, just as real.

Years later, fans still uncover rare footage of these performances—such as one from Frankfurt—reminding the world of the power music holds to connect, comfort, and commemorate.

For millions, it was the end of an era. For Josh Groban, it was personal.

He sat in silence for a moment. Then he reached for his phone.

“Don’t worry, I’m coming,” he said softly.

On the other end of the line was Michael Bublé, still in the middle of a late-night studio session nearly 100 miles away. He didn’t need details. “Give me two hours,” he replied, already grabbing his coat. “I’ll be there.”

By dawn, the two men stood together at the foot of the grand cathedral in Newark, New Jersey, just miles from where Connie Francis was born. The morning was still — the kind of quiet that feels like it’s holding its breath. Before them rested a white velvet-draped casket, covered in a cascade of white lilies, orchids, and baby’s breath.

Mourners gathered in black, eyes red, hands clutching tissues and memories. The cathedral doors behind them stood open, revealing flickering candles and the soft echo of an organ warming up inside.

But it wasn’t until Josh Groban’s voice broke the silence — with the opening line of Charlie Chaplin’s “Smile” — that the crowd began to weep.

It was Connie’s favorite. A song she once said got her through her loneliest nights.

Halfway through the first verse, Michael Bublé joined in. Their voices — one classical and rich, the other smooth and nostalgic — intertwined with reverence. There were no theatrics. No spotlight. Just music. Just love.

And as they sang the final line — “you’ll see the sun come shining through… if you just smile” — the sun did shine, briefly, between clouds.

A hush fell again. Even the birds seemed to pause.

Later, when asked why they came so quickly, Josh simply said:

“She gave everything to music. We owed her one last song.”

Michael added,

“She made us feel less alone. It was time we returned the favor.”

For those who were there, it wasn’t just a farewell. It was a benediction.

And as the casket was carried inside, one mourner whispered what so many were thinking:

“She’s not gone. Not with voices like that to carry her home.”

Since tying the knot in 1996, country stars Tim McGraw and Faith Hill have welcomed three daughters: Gracie, Maggie, and Audrey. The “Live Like You Were Dyin’” crooner, 58, recently shared a stage with his children as they sang his 2007 song “Last Dollar (Fly Away)” at the Music City Radio. In a family full of talented performers, a collaboration with all five members of the McGraw-Hill clan seems like a no-brainer. However, the 11-time CMA Award winner explained why that’s a no-go.

Tim McGraw Is the ”Low Man on the Totem Pole”

Tim McGraw is currently taking a break from performing while he recovers from knee and back surgeries. The Grammy winner is taking advantage of the downtown to watch his youngest daughter, Audrey, on tour with Brandi Carlile.

During a recent conversation with his record label, McGraw revealed why we haven’t heard a McGraw-Hill collab yet. “I don’t know if they want to sing with dad. I’m the worst singer in the family,” he said. “All of my girls can sing, and of course, Faith is one of the greatest singers in the world. So, I’m the low man on the totem pole.”

Not that he hasn’t tried. “I’d love to do a song with all five of us at some point,” McGraw previously told Entertainment Tonight. “I talk about it all the time, and they’re like, ‘I ain’t singing with you, dad.’”

The “Don’t Take the Girl” hitmaker admitted that his children would much prefer to sing with their mom. “I always say singing with Faith’s like a NASCAR trying to keep up with a Formula One race car because she’s so damn good,” McGraw said.

In a surprise pre-show moment that quickly went viral, Kelly Clarkson’s 8-year-old son, Remington “Remy” Alexander, took the stage and delivered a moving rendition of the Frank Sinatra classic “My Way” — charming both the live studio audience and millions online.

A Natural Star in the Making

The touching performance happened before taping an episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show. As the audience was getting settled, Kelly introduced her son and shared that he wanted to “warm up the crowd.” What followed was a jaw-dropping moment: little Remy, dressed in a colorful sweatshirt, confidently held the mic and sang “My Way” with unexpected emotion and poise.

The performance was caught on video and quickly exploded on social media. The official TikTok clip from The Kelly Clarkson Show received over 1.5 million likes, with fans from all over the world sharing their admiration. Due to overwhelming demand, the show later posted the full performance on their official Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts pages under the title:
“By popular demand — Remy’s full performance of My Way!”

Kelly’s Priceless Reaction

Kelly Clarkson, visibly emotional, was seen watching from the side of the stage. In later episodes, she gushed about how proud she was of Remy. “He really wanted to do it — and he just owned the moment,” she said.

In a follow-up episode, Remy teased his mom in the most adorable way:
“How many views did you get, Mom?”
The crowd laughed, and Kelly replied, “Not as many as you, clearly!”

Internet Melts Over His Confidence

Fans flooded the comments with praise, calling Remy a “born entertainer” and noting that his timing, tone, and stage presence were incredible for such a young performer. Many predicted he might follow in his mother’s musical footsteps.

His sister, River Rose, also attended the taping and was spotted cheering proudly from the audience.

Conclusion

Remy Clarkson’s unexpected performance of “My Way” is more than just a cute moment — it’s a powerful reminder of how music connects generations. With charm, courage, and talent beyond his years, Remy didn’t just sing a song — he made it his own. And as the millions of views prove, he left the world watching… and smiling.

Ozzy Osbourne died ‘surrounded by love’ at the age of 76 on Tuesday, a statement from his family said.

The Black Sabbath frontman had performed from a throne on stage at Villa Park in Birmingham less than three weeks ago.

In a statement, his family said: ‘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.

‘He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.’

The star was a titan of music who somehow survived controversies that would end the careers of many others, and weathered health problems that would leave most of us on our backs.

Whether it was biting the head off both a bat and a dove, snorting a line of ants or urinating on a US war memorial while wearing one of his wife Sharon’s dresses, Osbourne was defined by his antics both on and off stage.

The singer, who sold more than 100 million records, will forever be synonymous with the heavy metal band he formed in his home city of Birmingham in 1969.

With hits that included Iron Man, War Pigs and Paranoid, Black Sabbath’s pushing of occult themes proved both hugely popular and controversial, with a future pope even condemning Osbourne for his ‘subliminal satanic influence’.

His career was full of highs but in the last two decades, the singer had been surviving private battles.

It was the send off that Ozzy Osbourne had hoped for, if some time before he and his loved ones expected.

The Black Sabbath star died on Tuesday aged 76, surrounded by his wife Sharon and their children after a battle with Parkinson’s.

A heartbreaking statement released by the family said: ‘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.

‘He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.’

Sources close to the family say that his passing was ‘unexpected to be this soon’ but that his children were so grateful to have been around him in his last days after he performed his final gig just over two weeks ago.

Heavy metal hellraiser Ozzy, known to legions of fans as The Prince of Darkness, passed away at the Buckinghamshire mansion where his wife Sharon – a former X Factor judge – had spent at least two years preparing for his final moments.

The Mail can also reveal that daughters Aimee, 41, and Kelly, 40, were there to care for him as recently as last week after flying in from Los Angeles.

Son Jack, 39, also had flown from his home in Idaho to watch his beloved father at his last concert at Aston Villa’s stadium Villa Park on July 5.

A friend of the family said on Tuesday night: ‘Ozzy was always meant to come back to Britain to live in Buckinghamshire, it was where Sharon had spent so long preparing their family home for him.

‘There was much hope that he would be around for a lot longer than this but at one point there were fears they would not get him back from Los Angeles for the concert earlier this month.

‘Kelly has been at the house a lot in the last week or so, so has Aimee. It is terribly sad for all of them, they really hoped he would be able to carry on for a bit longer.

‘But it’s so lovely that he had his children around him during his last days.’

Sir Elton John lead the tributes to a ‘huge trailblazer’ who ‘secured his place in the pantheon of rock gods’.

He posted on Instagram: ‘So sad to hear the news of Ozzy Osbourne passing away.

‘He was a dear friend and a huge trailblazer who secured his place in the pantheon of rock gods – a true legend.

‘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.’

Ronnie Wood said was ‘very sad’, with the Rolling Stone adding: ‘What a lovely goodbye concert he had at Back To The Beginning in Birmingham.’

Rockband Metallica added to tributes to the metal icon, taking to X to post an old photo with Osbourne, captioning it with a broken heart emoji.

Sir Rod Stewart also shared a moving tribute. In a statement, the Maggie May star said: ‘Bye, bye Ozzy. Sleep well, my friend. I’ll see you up there – later rather than sooner, ‘ before signing off ‘Sir Rod Stewart.’

Following his performance at Villa Park, Ozzy had been working with a ghost writer for his autobiography, entitled Last Rites, which he very much had hoped to be around to see published.

Having bought their Buckinghamshire home in in 1993, Mrs Osbourne, 72, had been preparing it for Ozzy to live out his final days.

Recent plans approved in 2023 for the historic Grade II-listed home include a substantial ‘rehab wing’ with a health and welfare exercise studio, art studio, pool house orangery with spa, wet room, and changing area, all designed with Ozzy’s health and well-being in mind.

Despite fears he would struggle to make the transatlantic trip, Ozzy was flown back from California where he, wife Sharon and their three children had lived for three decades.

Despite struggling with his illness, the rocker was able to bid an emotional farewell to his fans on stage this month as he reunited with his original Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward for the first time since 2005.

‘You’ve no idea how I feel – thank you from the bottom of my heart,’ Ozzy told the crowd in his final speech.

Support acts included a who’s who of heavy metal, including legends Metallica, Pantera and Alice in Chains, along with Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler.

Ozzy leaves behind grandchildren Sidney, the son of Kelly and Sid Wilson, and Pearl Clementine, Andy Rose, Minnie Theodora, and Maple Artemis, the daughters of Jack and his ex-wife Lisa Stelly, and his current wife Aree Gearhart respectively.

He also has two children, Louis and Jessica, with his first wife, Thelma Riley.

Playa Grande lifeguards claim they were “not present” on the beach at the time of Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s death due to lack of “resources.”

“We deeply regret the passing of Malcolm-Jamal Warner at Playa Grande. He was swept away by a strong rip current and died by drowning,” the Caribbean Guard, Costa Rica’s volunteer lifeguard association, said in a Monday, July 21, statement via Facebook. “It all happened very quickly, and although there were people on the beach who entered the water to rescue him, they did not arrive in time. He was pulled from underwater without vital signs, and despite CPR maneuvers being performed on the beach, resuscitation was unsuccessful.”

The Guard added that Playa Grande, well known by “local surfers,” is one of their “most challenging beaches,” noting that there are signs in both Spanish and English “warning of the danger of death due to drowning.” While the Guard has patrolled there “over the past few years,” they claimed that they were “not present” at the time of Warner’s death.

“Due to recent aquatic incidents in Playa Negra, we had redirected resources there and to Chiquita, another iconic beach known for its strong currents,” the statement claimed before appealing to Costa Rica’s president, Rodrigo Chaves Robles, and the government. “From Caribbean Guard, a volunteer lifeguard association, we make an urgent appeal to the President of the Nation, the national government, the Municipality of Talamanca, and the entire Caribbean community to continue joining forces to minimize this problem, which, sadly, is on the rise ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.”

The statement alleged, “We do everything within our reach. We have saved numerous lives in recent years, and if Caribbean Guard didn’t exist, the number of drownings would be counted in dozens. We give everything we have to minimize the risks, but without help from the government, clear public policies, and strong support from local business owners, this will continue to happen.”

News broke earlier on Monday that Warner died at the age of 54 after an accidental drowning. Costa Rican National Police told ABC News that The Cosby Show star’s official cause of death was ruled as asphyxia, which occurs when an individual doesn’t get enough oxygen in their body.

Us Weekly later confirmed that the Costa Rican Red Cross was alerted to a water-related incident at Playa Grande, Cahuita, Limón, via the 9-1-1 emergency system on Sunday, July 20, at 2:10 p.m, and when authorities got the alert, three ambulances were dispatched to the scene.

Warner’s body has since been transferred from Limón to the Forensic Medicine Unit in San Joaquín de Flores for an autopsy. Costa Rica’s Judicial Investigation Department shared with Us that a preliminary investigation showed that Warner “appeared to have entered the sea and was apparently swept away by a current.”

According to the Red Cross, emergency personnel attended to two adult male patients at the scene. As of this publishing, a 35-year-old man who hasn’t been identified was transported in critical condition to the local clinic and his current condition is unknown, while CPR was performed on Warner, who was declared dead at the scene. The spokesperson confirmed that both Warner and the second individual were “involved in the same incident.”

Warner had been in Costa Rica since July 13. He is survived by his wife and daughter, whose identities were never revealed.

As fans around the world mourn the loss of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, Carrie Underwood delivered an emotional and respectful tribute by performing his 1991 ballad “Mama, I’m Coming Home.” The moment took place during her 2023 appearance on The Howard Stern Show, long before Osbourne’s passing — but now resonates even more deeply.

Carrie Underwood’s Lifelong Love for Rock Music

While Carrie Underwood rose to fame as a country superstar, she’s never hidden her love for hard rock and metal music. Growing up in a religious household in Oklahoma, her musical influences spanned genres — and Ozzy Osbourne was at the top of her list.

During the interview with Howard Stern, Carrie said:

“I remember being a teenager discovering my own musical taste, and my mom being very much against me listening to Ozzy.”

Despite that, she stood by her admiration for Osbourne’s artistry, explaining that his catalog includes not only heavy riffs and dark themes, but also emotional, melodic songs like “Mama, I’m Coming Home.”

An Emotional Tribute to the “Prince of Darkness”

Carrie’s performance was more than a cover — it was a deeply personal and powerful moment. Before singing, she explained how much she respects Ozzy and wanted to honor him properly.

“I just want to be respectful. We had asked permission, and Sharon was very, very sweet about it,” Underwood said, referring to Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy’s wife of 43 years, who remained by his side until his death on July 22, 2025.

Carrie’s rendition of “Mama, I’m Coming Home” highlighted the emotional depth of the original. The song, written by Ozzy and Zakk Wylde, was originally a tribute to Sharon and became one of the most enduring ballads in rock history.

With her soaring vocals, Underwood brought the lyrics to life in a new way, blending power with vulnerability.

Howard Stern Reacts: “Do That Again”

After the performance, Howard Stern was visibly moved and asked Underwood and her band to repeat the harmonies, saying:

“That was so beautiful. Can you do those harmonies again?”

Underwood smiled and graciously obliged, adding to the intimacy and magic of the moment. Fans who watched the performance online were quick to share their admiration, with one viewer writing:

“Ozzy would be proud. That cover gave me chills.”

A Career of Cross-Genre Respect

This wasn’t Underwood’s first time dipping into rock territory. Fans will remember when she brought out Axl Rose during her headlining set at Stagecoach 2023, performing a surprise duet of “Sweet Child O’ Mine.” Her live shows often include a cover of “Welcome to the Jungle,” a clear nod to her lifelong love for hard-hitting rock classics.

Her willingness to blend genres, pay respect to legends, and do so with grace and sincerity is part of what makes Carrie Underwood one of the most versatile and respected artists in today’s music scene.

“For the One I Love Most”: The Night Prince William and Andrea Bocelli Turned the Royal Albert Hall into a Love Letter for Kate

It was meant to be a night of elegance and music — a gala concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall featuring the great Andrea Bocelli. The audience, a sea of evening gowns and black ties, buzzed with anticipation for the maestro’s timeless voice. But no one knew the real magic was still to come — and that it would come from a royal heart.

After a breathtaking performance of “Con te partirò,” the lights began to dim. Applause rippled, but then stilled. From the wings, Prince William emerged. Alone.

Gasps echoed through the grand hall. In full black tie, William stepped into the spotlight. His voice, clear but trembling with emotion, broke the silence.

“Tonight isn’t just about music. It’s about memory… about love. This next piece is for the one I love most.”

From the front row, Princess Kate looked up, stunned. Her eyes welled instantly.

Then, from behind him, Andrea Bocelli reappeared — not with a full orchestra, but with only a single pianist beside him. The opening chords rang out, soft and reverent. William turned to face the microphone again.

And he began to sing.

Not perfectly. Not like a professional. But like a husband pouring his soul into every word.

The melody — a new arrangement co-written with Bocelli’s team — was gentle, aching, filled with quiet devotion. And when William’s voice faltered, Bocelli stepped in, lifting the song to the heavens with his soaring tenor. The blend of royal sincerity and operatic brilliance stunned the room into utter stillness.

Behind them, a screen lit up with candid, never-before-seen footage of William and Kate:
Their wedding day. A beach walk with George, Charlotte, and Louis. A snowball fight in the mountains. A kiss, caught on a balcony.

People held their breath. Many cried.

Kate sat motionless, hand over her heart, tears streaming freely. This wasn’t a performance. It was a love story, sung aloud.

As the final note shimmered into silence, William looked straight at her — no words, just a gaze filled with twenty years of quiet, loyal love.

And Kate stood.

No applause broke the moment, only tears and stunned reverence from a crowd that had just witnessed something deeply human.

Later, Andrea Bocelli would tell reporters, “It was not about technical perfection. It was about truth. And truth, in music, is the rarest gift.”

One attendee said, “I’ve seen royal pageantry before, but tonight… tonight I saw a man in love.”

No clip of the performance has been released — only a still image of William and Bocelli standing side by side, and Kate’s tearful smile in the crowd.

But those who were there say they’ll never forget it. Because in that sacred moment, a prince sang not to impress the world, but to honor the woman who holds his world.

And the world, listening quietly, remembered what love really sounds like.
