Kelly Osbourne has opened up about the emotional final days she spent with her father, Black Sabbath legend Ozzy Osbourne. She revealed that her father seemed to sense his passing was approaching and spent his remaining time preparing her for what was to come.

Reflecting on their most meaningful conversation just three days before he died, Kelly recalled how her father sat her down to offer lasting reassurance. She also shared how much performing his farewell "Back to the Beginning" show meant to him, despite doctors' warnings regarding his health.

"No matter what happens in this life, you can live the rest of your life knowing that there was one man on this planet that truly loved you for every single thing that you are. And that man is me."

Taking the stage at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field on September 19 for his first show since the removal of Macklemore from the Loop Tour, Ed Sheeran addressed the crowd directly regarding the escalating controversy:

“This is a humanitarian issue, and I cannot hide how I feel about it anymore.”

During the performance, Sheeran apologized for mistakes and voiced concern over venues requiring advance approval of artists' content. He condemned the October 7 attacks, described what is happening in Gaza as catastrophic, unjustifiable, and disproportionate, and stated that systemic injustice in the West Bank could not be overlooked, adding that he is looking for ways to assist victims while continuing to listen and learn.

The fallout originally began after Macklemore chanted "Free Palestine" and performed his protest track "Hind's Hall" at MetLife Stadium. Promoter Messina Touring Group reported venue cancellation threats, leading to Macklemore's exit. Although Sheeran maintained the removal was strictly the promoter's call, supporting acts Lukas Graham, Aaron Rowe, FINNEAS, and Beoga subsequently pulled out of the tour in protest.

Slipknot has uploaded a five-minute behind-the-scenes featurette focusing on the music video for their standalone single "Arsenal." Overseen and directed by percussionist M. Shawn "Clown" Crahan, the featurette reveals why the band did not physically appear in the clip. Crahan explained that with work ongoing for their eighth studio album, it was too early to finalize new masks and gear.

Crahan detailed the creative dilemma during the shoot, emphasizing his refusal to re-use previous band aesthetics.
"This one was difficult because we definitely wanted to do the band. It feels so right to do the band. It’s too early to make masks and outfits and be sure of that stuff."
Guitarist Jim Root confirmed the track will not appear on the upcoming album, which was tracked with producer Matt Wallace.

The release marks the first offering via the group's new (sic)est Records imprint following recent roster shifts with Sid Wilson and Craig Jones. Clown noted that the visuals were meant to be slightly confusing to leave room for what lies ahead. What are your thoughts on Slipknot's decision to leave the band out of the new music video?

Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams has aligned herself with Macklemore following his removal from Ed Sheeran’s North American tour. The promoter cited venue pressure as the reason for dropping the rapper after he called for a free Palestine during a concert at MetLife Stadium. Williams addressed the fallout with a sarcastic statement on Instagram regarding the expectation for artists to remain silent.

Williams criticized the pressure on performers to treat their concerts strictly as commercial ventures rather than political platforms.

"Hey guys I’ve seen all the atrocities going on and I just want you to know I am keeping the conversation open by saying nothing," Williams said.

She also showed support by adding tracks from Macklemore and other artists who withdrew from the tour to her pre-show playlist. The playlist updates featured songs such as Macklemore’s "Can’t Hold Us," Lukas Graham’s "Mama Said," and Finneas’ "For Cryin’ Out Loud." How do you feel about musicians taking a stand on political issues during major stadium runs?

Poison drummer Rikki Rockett recently addressed speculation regarding whether the iconic rock band would ever replace frontman Bret Michaels for an upcoming tour. Following their 2022 Stadium Tour alongside Mötley Crüe and Def Leppard, questions arose about whether Poison might hit the road with a different singer while Michaels focuses on his solo band.

Rockett clarified during an appearance on the Cobras & Fire podcast that while the topic has come up casually during moments of frustration, no serious plans exist to replace their long-time vocalist.

"We’ve talked about that when we’ve gotten upset, just like I’m sure Bret’s talked about replacing me when he’s gotten upset. But there hasn’t been any serious discussion about that," Rockett explained.

While Michaels continues to tour with his solo project, Rockett remains optimistic that Poison's core lineup will return to the stage together soon. Would you ever want to see Poison perform with a guest vocalist, or is it Bret Michaels or bust for you?

Corey Taylor is facing fierce backlash from portions of the Slipknot fanbase after teaming up with Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke and System of a Down’s Serj Tankian on the newly released track, "Joseph."

Following the track's premiere and its Jensen Noen-directed video—which quickly surpassed 2 million views within a day—fans took to Reddit to express disbelief and frustration over Taylor's decision to work with Radke, particularly given Taylor's past public feuds with mainstream artists:

“Corey shit talking Imagine Dragons and MGK but then doing a song with Falling In Reverse is truly one of the moments of all time,” one fan remarked.

Another commenter added: “Corey, annoyingly, sounds pretty good in it... It is genuinely one of the worst things I’ve ever heard, though. I’m genuinely surprised at least 2 artists who were pretty much visionaries in their earlier careers have featured on that absolute garbage.”

While the track marks a historic first-time studio pairing between Taylor and Tankian, Radke recently revealed the straightforward method behind landing both heavy hitters:

“I got Corey Taylor and Serj Tankian onto the same song by sending them both ‘Joseph’ at the exact same time.”

What do you think of Corey Taylor and Serj Tankian teaming up with Ronnie Radke on "Joseph"? Is the fan backlash justified, or should artists collaborate however they choose? Let us know your thoughts below!

During an appearance celebrating his new memoir, In My Darkest Hour, Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine spoke candidly about his diagnosis with Dupuytren's contracture—a condition that causes tissue under the skin to thicken and pulls fingers into a bent position—and how it influenced the decision to embark on the band's extended global farewell tour.

Mustaine addressed his future and his approach to the stage while managing the condition, sharing:

"I'm sure I'm gonna be involved in music to some degree, whether it's as simple as just listening to it or making it. I don't know. I'm hoping God's gonna heal me and there's gonna be some kind of new technology that they'll say, 'Hey, guess what? When you put your hand in this glove and then — boom — your hand's given back to you nice and shiny and new.' That would be pretty bitchin', I think. But I'm just gonna keep trying to be hopeful and play the best I can until then."

Mustaine also reflected on the bittersweet feeling of walking onto the stage each night, reiterating his desire to bow out gracefully while still performing at his highest standard rather than letting physical wear diminish the band's legacy:

"I always said when it got to the point where I was unable to give a hundred percent every night, that's when I was gonna start considering winding down... Most of them don't get to go out on their own terms on top, and that's where I'm at in my life right now. I have traveled the world and have made millions upon millions of fans and the hardest part of all of this is saying goodbye to them."

Megadeth's farewell run is expected to span the next three to five years, giving fans across the globe one final opportunity to celebrate their historic catalog live.

Iron Maiden bassist and founder Steve Harris sat down with Charlie Bahama to discuss the journey of his side project, British Lion, reflecting on why he continues hitting the road in smaller, intimate venues after more than a decade together.

Harris explained that while the group formed 14 years ago out of material he wrote and developed with the musicians back in the '90s, Maiden’s busy schedule means British Lion operates whenever there is downtime:

"Well, back in the day I couldn't have done it because we were so busy with Maiden. But then we started touring a little bit less frequently and the tours were a little less longer, so we had a bit of few gaps in between... And some of the stuff that we wrote together I thought, 'You know what? It's gotta see the light of day.' And I thought the only way to really grab it by the scruff of the neck and do something with it is actually being in a band myself. So that's what I did. And it's been great."

Addressing how he manages the energy for both projects, Harris highlighted his simple, relentless drive for the stage:

"I do rest, but, yeah, there's a time and place for resting. But I love playing — I just love playing live. I mean, if people come along to [see British Lion perform], they'll see that. It's very evident that we all love to do what we do... I actually think it should be the same, whether you're playing for 200 or 200,000 people, you know. To me, there's no difference. You still give 110 percent wherever you're playing."
