The upcoming album In the Eye of the Storm will be released July 17 via Sun Records/Virgin Records, serving as the official soundtrack to a 50th anniversary concert film.

"What I like about the American thing is it's a lot more bloodthirsty and there's a lot more treachery. It's broken hearts, love doesn't work quite so well."

I think it's been partly a healthy distraction, partly healing - probably in that kind of 'full cycle' category, in a weird way. It's very much taken energy out of the grieving side of things and parked in a bit more hopefulness.

Introducing Ozzy Matilda Osbourne. She's arrived and she's perfect.

I wrote the music before Oz passed away. But after Oz passed away, when we went back to England and we laid Ozzy to rest, when I got right from that, I went straight to Pantera celebrations with Phil, Rex, and Charlie. And then when I got done, when we got done with the Pantera celebration run, when I got home, I was just sitting in the house and [this] is when I wrote the lyrics and just sang the song.

I've always been drawn to the energy and storytelling of heavy metal. Working with Rob on this track brings that intensity to life in a way that feels both timeless and entirely new.

Phil was a devoted husband, a wonderful father, and a proud and loving grandfather, known affectionately as 'Bampi.' He was deeply loved by all who knew him and will be missed immensely. His legacy, music and the memories he created with so many will live on forever.

Brucie probably got more attention than the Gallagher brothers that night!, he tells FourFourTwo. At first it was just myself and his son Alex going, but Michael Carrick joined us and Steve was at a loose end, so he got a ticket too. Heading to the venue, he got absolutely mobbed. Everyone wanted a picture with him and being the man that he is, Steve agreed to every request.

It is as if his past two decades of inflammatory political activism hasn't hurt his reputation. What's more, things will soon pick up, he assures us, because his morphine has just kicked in. A smatter of laughter. Probably joking? Opiate allusions aside, the between-songs narrative is a classic tour-de-Moz. He stumbles from self-hype to castigating jealous bitches and his customary bete noire, the cancel culture that has so thoroughly deplatformed him.

There were laughs of surprise around me in screen three of the Everyman in Muswell Hill, north London, as 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple drew to its conclusion. Without giving too much away for those who haven't seen it, Ralph Fiennes dancing semi-naked among piles of human bones to Iron Maiden's The Number of the Beast is not how you expect one of our greatest thespians to deport himself on screen.

We wanna do two days in Aston Villa [in Birmingham] and then come to America. And we wanna hear from everyone where we should go in America. And also we've gotta find a lot of young, new talent, because that's what [Ozzy] would want. That's what Ozzfest was all about. That second stage, that was the incubator - that's where so many [bands] came out of.

Vernon's upbringing in Surrey was typical of many children born in the mid-1940s: he sang in his church choir, listened to the jazz and show tune LPs his parents owned and was bowled over by the arrival of rock'n'roll, responding most strongly to the likes of Little Richard, Fats Domino and Larry Williams.

Randy and I are incredibly grateful that our music has endured all these years. Knowing that people still want to hear these songs live means everything to us, and when we go out on stage, our goal is to truly honour the music.

Thundering drums and shredding guitar solos cut through the crowd as pyrotechnics and streamer cannons blast. The energy and production feel like a show at the Hollywood Palladium or the Forum, but we're at Knott's Berry Farm, on the rooftop of a big red doghouse - that is if we can suspend our disbelief for an evening. The educational rock band Jelly of the Month Club along with guest musicians Charlie Brown, Lucy, Schroeder and Linus set up the show's finale

The annual In Memoriam segment paid tribute to artists like Roberta Flack, D'Angelo and Ozzy Osbourne. From heavy punk numbers to jazzy R&B ballads and solemn country-infused performances, the academy celebrated those who have shaped music, whether it's on the artistry end or the business end of things. It started off with a candlelit tribute from McEntire, Brandy Clark and Lukas Nelson.

The performance arrived as Momoa made a surprise appearance in Manchester over the weekend to promote his new vodka brand, Meili Vodka. Though Momoa was donned in a Manchester United jersey instead of Liam and Noel Gallagher's favored Manchester City, he and his band provided a scrappy-but-visceral rendition of one of Oasis' heaviest tracks - a relevant pick, given that Oasis' pre-show walkout music for their "Oasis Live '25" reunion tour was soundtracked by the song.
