Bohemian Rhapsody is considered one of the toughest songs that people avoid to sing it on karaoke. Rolling Stone has called it a song whose importance “cannot be overstated,” leaving a lasting impact on music history.

While many artists shy away from tackling Freddie Mercury’s complex rock opera, Jennifer Nettles boldly accepted the challenge. Her performance was unforgettable and captivated everyone’s attention.

At the CMT Next Women of Country Tour, Jennifer Nettles and her band walked over the stage to do something amazing. The performance began with dramatic flair as the room went dark and a subtle countdown set the mood.

Watch the video down below and don’t forget to share this beautiful song with your friends and family…

When Nettles sang the iconic opening line, “Is this the real life…”, chills ran down viewers’ spines. The audience, filled with anticipation and excitement, knew they were about to see a country artist take on Queen’s legendary 1975 hit.

Nettles tackles the song head-on with her powerful vocals that fill the concert hall, leaving them in stunned silence.

Backed by her band, Nettles delivers a performance of epic proportions, seamlessly navigating the song’s demanding twists and turns. Each note she sings is filled with raw emotion, especially during poignant lines like “Did you think you could love me and leave me to die?”

Her passion and intensity captivate the audience, making the performance truly unforgettable.

The video of her performance was then uploaded on YouTube and got much attention. It has garnered 2.4M views and been showered by hundreds of positive comments such as “Brilliant song by a brilliant artist” and “Freddie would have absolutely loved this!”

The day we become a mother or father, our lives change in the most indescribable ways. We accept that we will spend the rest of our time on this earth caring for, cherishing, and worrying about the new life that we have given unto the world.

And yet, sadly, there are some things that no parent can prevent. Accidents and illness are as much a part of human life as joy and celebration are, and each year far too many children find themselves suffering from situations and ailments that are wholly out of their control.

Alina and Aaron Edwards’ world was changed the day they learned that their nine-year-old daughter, Emma, had been diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Though obviously heartbroken, they desperately clung to the hope that she could beat cancer, only to be dealt a devastating blow when doctors told them after a few months that there was nothing further they could do to save Emma’s life.

Emma’s distraught parents decided they would do all they could to fulfill their daughter’s wishes with the time they had left.

Now, it should go without saying that vast majority of children might want the chance to meet a celebrity hero in such circumstances, perhaps take a trip to Disneyland or accompany their favorite athlete as they walk out onto the field.

Emma’s wish, however, was something quite different. She asked to be able to marry her boyfriend, DJ, also just ten years old.

I have so much more to say and so many ppl to thank after Sunday, but right now my brain is just not brain-ing and I…

Posted by Emma’s Army on Tuesday, June 27, 2023

Before long, Emma’s cause had attracted a lot of attention in her local community. The collection of volunteers and well-wishers adopted the name “Emma’s Army”, as well as the goal to make this little girl’s dreams come true before her time came.

Eventually, the Make-A-Wish Foundation stepped in to help Emma’s family raise funds. Emma’s mom Alina explained: “Most kids want to go to Disneyland, but Emma wanted to get married, be a wife, and have three kids.”

Indeed, as per reports, the “wedding” wasn’t the first time Emma and DJ had tried to marry one another. The two youngsters had tried to have a wedding in school when they were aged eight, and even selected their respective bridesmaids and groomsmen from among their classmates. Unfortunately for Emma and DJ, however, their teacher wouldn’t permit the wedding, irrespective of how unofficial it was.

Their second attempt at a wedding, though, had the consent of their parents and the backing of any number of kind-hearted individuals determined to see that Emma got to live out her special day.

“We threw it together in less than two days, everything ended up being donated. It was so precious, and it came together so well,” Alina revealed.

When the big event rolled around, it was captured on video, with interviews from some of the attendees, including the groom, DJ.

“I thought she was the most beautiful person I ever saw. Ever since I loved her,” DJ said.

Alina, meanwhile, was full of praise for her daughter’s sweet, young boyfriend. She wrote an emotional post on Facebook that read:

“DJ has been Emma’s “Boo bear” since 3rd grade, and let me tell you, seeing these babies together will melt your heart. DJ protects her and helps her, and makes her heart soar. She loves him. And I know he loves her too! He has stood beside her through all her ups and downs and kept her smiling the whole time. DJ will forever be family.”

Simon Cowell went from an unknown record company worker to one of the most influential people in show business. The British producer and TV star has created a huge empire for himself and has been the star judge on several talent shows. The talent shows brought Simon a different kind of audience, and his unique, often brutally honest approach has proven rather popular.

Maybe that’s one of the reasons why he’s made so much money, and we’re talking a lot of money. In fact, Simon Cowell’s been paid millions and millions of dollars over the years, with new reports highlighting just how much he made per season of American Idol

Simon Cowell got his own job in music after he dropped out of school. His father was able to hire him as an assistant at record label EMI, where his responsibilities were to find new talent and develop artists. As he moved up the ladder at EMI, he went on to start two music labels of his own, though these didn’t achieve any level of success. He moved back home to live with his parents; something that could’ve broken anyone. For Simon Cowell, though, it was a “relief”.

“Everything went – my house, my Porsche, all the things I thought were important,” he explained. “I had nice food every night at home. I was quite happy, really.”

Cowell started over and founded S Records Label, to which he signed boybands like 5ive and Westlife. He also signed artist Jerome, who recorded the Righteous Brothers’ hit Unchained Melody in 1995. It turned out to be a top-selling single. However, it was through talent shows that Simon himself would rise to fame.

“My talent is for creating things the public will like,” he explained. “I’m interested only in making money, for myself and the people I work for. I mean, that’s absolutely the only criterion I attach.”

In 2001, the world of entertainment would witness the birth of a new entity. Together with Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller, Simon Cowell created the program Pop Idol, on which he starred as a judge. The show became a smash hit among the viewers, and Simon became a mega-celebrity overnight.

His tight T-shirt and now classic catchphrase, “I don’t mean to be rude but,” became a trademark. Just one year later, Fox picked up the show. Now it was headed for the US, and Simon had all of a sudden become a celebrity across the Atlantic.

The first season finale – which Kelly Clarkson won –  attracted more than 26 million viewers, and Simon quickly understood that there was a huge amount of money to be made here. He decided to release special American Idol-themed records, with Simon Fuller owning and being in charge of the show, as well as managing the winners.

Simon was transformed into a multi-millionaire in just a couple of years. The talent shows, including X Factor and America’s Got Talent, generated huge amounts of money for him, as well as other record companies, and in 2006, he landed a new deal.

Cowell remained a judge on American Idol for another five years – and this made him a great amount of money.

Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, and Randy Jackson were the three judges when American Idol premiered. It started out as an interesting project, but it quickly grew to be one of the most popular shows on television, changing many people’s lives and giving the audience world-class artists.

Simon Cowell – net worth, salary on ‘The X Factor’

Two of the most notable winners over the years have been Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson and in the future, many more will surely come. Simon stayed on the show for a total of nine seasons. He also created The X Factor for both the US and UK and founded the production companies Syco TV, Syco Film, and Syco Music.

Cowell was the judge on both The X Factor in the US and UK. At the same time, he was also a judge, as well as executive producer, on America’s Got Talent and Britain’s Got Talent.

Even though he was a judge on many shows, one thing stayed the same. His raw, almost rude, attitude was always present. But at the same time, he had no problem with getting emotional when he heard something beautiful. At the same time as Simon’s been seen laughing at funny auditions, he’s also been able to laugh all the way to the bank.

According to CNN, Simon Cowell made a staggering $36 million dollars in 2008 alone. According to Celebritynetworth.com, the media mogul earned $45 million in 2017, and the year after $41 million. In 2020, Simon Cowell bagged more than $50 million.

In total, Simon Cowell has a net worth of $600 million. He donates a portion of his money every year to different organizations. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he donated $1.5 million to Feeding America and Feeding Britain.

Simon Cowell – botox

With all this money, you can do pretty much anything you want. To that end, Cowell’s bought himself a huge Malibu mansion just outside Los Angeles, California, and has focused quite a bit on altering his appearance.

For example, the media mogul has had several injections and Botox in his face over the past few years. According to Hello Magazine, he was actually one of the first male television stars to admit to having Botox. In 2018, Cowell told the Sun he had undergone a non-surgical “sewing bioplastic-infused thread” facelift.

“There’s lots of things you can do now. You don’t just have to stuff your face with filler and Botox,” Cowell said, as quoted by Hello. “It hurts like hell but it gets rid of sun damage and unplugs all the crap.” “For me now, it’s all about having clean skin. If you have clean skin, you look better. But you have to be very careful with some of this stuff.”

Cowell added that his using of Botox actually “added 10 years” to his television career, which has been majorly successful. However, he admits that he probably went a little bit too far.

“Hopefully, I look better now — I probably did have a little too much Botox a couple of years ago because everyone on TV has it,” he said. “Now I have facials, but nothing too extravagant at the moment. I have a girl who comes here and does a great face massage — it’s very relaxing. I also had a sheep placenta facial once, which was quite out there.”

In more recent times, though he’s still working hard with several of his businesses, Simon has become a family man as well.

In 2013, he and his girlfriend, Lauren Silverman, announced that they were expecting their first child. On Valentine’s Day of 2014, they welcomed their son, Eric

“Meeting Lauren and becoming a dad was the most fantastic thing to happen in my life,” Cowell, then 54 years old, said.

Simon Cowell – hospital visit

Cowell’s family is living their best life, but at the same time, Simon has had several problems with his health. In October 2017, he was rushed to the hospital after fainting and falling down the stairs. His representative described it as “a scary morning”, and it was later determined that the fall was due to low blood pressure.

Following the accident, he met with a doctor who told him he had to change his diet and not consume red meat, wheat, dairy, gluten or sugar.

“I’m thinking, what about alcohol? That’s all I care about,” Cowell recalled in an interview with Extra. “And he said, ‘Maybe not quite as much as you had before’.”

Simon Cowell’s undergone an incredible health journey over the last couple of years. And the result is nothing less than fantastic! In just 12 months, Simon lost 56 pounds. And the COVID-19 pandemic – and its accompanying lockdown – hasn’t given him any excuse to pile the weight on again.

“I think I have dropped, since I started this diet a year ago, 60 pounds. I’m doing a bit of cooking. I’m exercising,” he told Extra, according to Hello. “Funny enough, more during this time as well, sticking to the diet.”

In 2020, Simon was in another serious accident when he fell off his electric bike in the courtyard of his home in Malibu, California. He was taken to the hospital and underwent surgery to repair a broken back.

“I literally wouldn’t have been able to walk”

Cowell was “doing” fine following the six-hour surgery, which included the placement of a metal rod. Things really could’ve turned out way worse than they did. It forced him to miss the beginning of last season’s live show America’s Got Talent.

“Some good advice… If you buy an electric trail bike, read the manual before you ride it for the first time,” Cowell wrote on Twitter, thanking fans and friends for their “kind messages.”

Even though his message seemed calming for his fans, things weren’t really as positive as they might have been. Speaking with ExtraTV, Cowell explained that he was shocked once he saw the X-ray.

“I knew I’d broken my back the minute I landed. It was really, really kind of sudden and it hurt,” he said. “It could have been a lot worse. When I saw the X-ray, I really nearly could have smashed my spine to pieces, so I literally wouldn’t have been able to walk.”

Doctors told him that he should lie down and rest, and he knew that he wasn’t supposed to move. However, Cowell did the opposite. According to a People source, he was walking around just two days after his surgery.

“I was thinking, ‘I’ve got to get back into the house because I can’t lie there’, and made myself kind of get carried into my bedroom, which is right there at the beginning of the house, and I’m lying there and I’m kind of passing out … It was surreal,” he said.

Simon Cowell reveals his son Eric’s words after surgery

Simon Cowell was said to have been testing a new electric bike with son Eric. The hardest part for him was recovering from the accident at home, which he thought was embarrassing to do in front of his son.

“I was so embarrassed about coming home looking about 100 because I couldn’t walk, and I have these metal rods in my back and these screws,” Cowell explained. “

I said, ‘Lauren, I just don’t know how to explain it to Eric.’ She obviously said something to him because he came in, and I was lying in bed, and he said, ‘Daddy, you’re like Ironman,’ and I thought that was the sweetest thing, and it meant a lot.”

Recovering from the accident has taken some time. However, it also has shown us all that Cowell is very determined, doing all he can to get back to normal. And he’s done it in a very impressive way.

According to the Daily Mail, Simon has been walking over 40 miles each week to help with his recovery from his injury. He holds business meetings every morning, and walks for several hours each day. The music mogul sure is doing everything he can to get back to normal, and others are also impressed.

“He feels fitter than ever before and is keeping to a normal routine rather than being on the phone until into the early hours of the morning,” the source said.

Simon Cowell son

Through building his empire, Simon has earned himself a multimillion-dollar fortune. However, it turns out that the musician doesn’t want to share the money with his child. It’s essential to learn the importance of money, and if you have parents with a considerable fortune, things can be expected to be easier, right?

But over the years, we have seen celebrities declare that their children will not inherit a penny of their fortune. Simon Cowell is one of these – because he genuinely believes his children should create their own fortune.

“I’m going to leave my money to somebody. A charity, probably — kids and dogs. I don’t believe in passing on from one generation to another,” Simon told The Mirror and added:

“Your legacy has to be that hopefully you gave enough people an opportunity, so that they could do well, and you gave them your time, taught them what you know.”

Today, Simon Cowell has only one child – 10-year-old Eric. When Simon Cowell met Eric’s mother, Lauren Silverman, she was married to one of Cowell’s close friends, Andrew Silverman. In 2013, news broke that the couple were expecting their first child together. Lauren was still married to Andrew but by the end of the year, they divorced.

“It is not something I am proud of”

On Valentine’s Day, 2014, Eric was born, and while Cowell was overjoyed to become a father, he struggled with it initially. Simon, who never expected to be a father, wasn’t proud of his affair.

“It is not something I am proud of or wanted to happen in terms of hurting anyone. It just happened,” he said.

But today, he couldn’t be happier. In many ways, the father-son-duo is very alike. According to Simon, they appreciate the same things – Scooby Doo, Disney movies, and laughing at the dogs.

”He’s the most amazing thing that ever happened to me. I adore him,” America’s Got Talent judge said.

Eric is named after Cowell’s late father, Eric Selig Phillip Cowell, who died in 1999. Recently, Simon also praised his son for making him stop getting fillers and injections in his face. It went so far that Eric got scared by his father’s face.

“There was a stage where I might have gone a bit too far. I saw a picture of me from ‘before’ the other day, and didn’t recognise it as me first of all,” Simon told The Sun and continued: “Eric was in hysterics. Enough was enough. There is no filler in my face at all now. Zero.”

Simon Cowell has created himself a media empire. But also, he’s met the love of his life and had a wonderful son. He’s doing all he can to recover from his horrible injury, and hopefully, we’ll see him as a judge on television before too long.

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.

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.

Osbourne had undergone seven surgeries in the past five years, including a fourth spinal operation in September 2023, and has been privately battling Parkinson’s disease since 2003.

But just three weeks ago he took to the stage at Birmingham’s Villa Park Stadium, reuniting with his Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward for their first performance in their original line-up since 2005 – and their final ever show as a band.

During the performance, a message on a screen read: ‘Thank you for everything, you guys are f***ing amazing. Birmingham Forever,’ before the sky lit up with fireworks.

He appeared overwhelmed with emotional at one point as he thanked the crowd for their steadfast support during his five decades in music.

‘Thank you from the bottom of my heart,’ he gushed after finishing Suicide Solution.

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.
