Back to the Beginning, which took place on July 5, 2025, marked the final live performance by the original Black Sabbath lineup and Ozzy Osbourne, who died just over two weeks later on July 22. The show also featured a stacked lineup of hard rock and metal bands, including Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Tool, Slayer and Pantera.
Metallica met up with Sharon backstage in London Sunday, as well as her and Ozzy’s daughter Kelly Osbourne. You can check out photos from the encounter on Metallica’s Instagram.
“One year after ‘Back to the Beginning,’ we were thrilled to see some familiar faces for #M72London,” the post’s caption reads. “We miss you, Ozzy!”

Many more actors have joined the cast of the upcoming Ocean’s Eleven prequel.
Vicky Krieps, George MacKay, Lauren Ridloff and Jack Holden have joined the film’s ensemble, while Omar Sy is currently in negotiations to join the cast, ABC Audio has confirmed.
Bradley Cooper is set to write, direct and star in the prequel film. Margot Robbie will star alongside Cooper, who will also produce the film along with Robbie’s banner, LuckyChap.
Twisters director Lee Isaac Chung was previously attached to direct the film but stepped away from the project due to creative differences.
Wagner Moura, Monica Barbaro and Josh Gad are also set to star in the upcoming film. Cooper wrote the screenplay based on characters that were created by George Clayton Johnson and Jack Golden Russell. A previous draft of the script was written by Carrie Solomon.
While the film’s plot is being kept locked in the vault for now, ABC Audio has learned that it takes place in the year 1963.
The currently untitled Ocean’s Eleven prequel will arrive in theaters on June 25, 2027.
Warner Bros. launched the current Ocean’s franchise with Steven Soderbergh’s 2001 film Ocean’s Eleven. It became a trilogy that starred George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts and Matt Damon. Ocean’s Eleven was a remake of the studio’s 1961 film Ocean’s 11, which starred Frank Sinatra.

Wondering why Lil Wayne missed the opening date of his 20+ Years of Carter Classics tour? He explained the reason during a recent livestream.
Wayne missed the kickoff date of the tour in Maine, with fans learning he wouldn’t be performing after 2 Chainz took the stage. He also reportedly arrived two hours late to his show in Gilford, New Hampshire.
“Bangor, Maine, I gotta motherf***** apologize to you personally again for real, for real. Sorry for missing that show the other night,” he said. “Listen, I have epilepsy and I have seizures, right? Thank God I haven’t had a seizure in years, but seizures have triggers. The trigger to my seizures are bad migraines.”
Wayne continued, “I had a bad migraine that night. It was recommended that I don’t get in the air. I still was tryna get on the motherf***** and still was tryna get on the plane to come rock with ya, but again it was recommended that I don’t get on the plane because they didn’t want an event to happen while I’m in the air.”
He added, “Hopefully you can understand that, but guess what? July 28. I’ll be there.”
Wayne also revealed during the livestream he’s no longer engaged. “I know I don’t give y’all a lot of content, especially a lot of personal content but I would like to clear something up,” he said of the breakup. “I considered I don’t want to be such a burden to such an amazing person.”

Mother of the groom Donna Kelce and more celebrity attendees are opening up about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Madison Square Garden nuptials last week.
One day after the July 3 wedding, which saw a flurry of high-profile celebrities converge in the iconic New York City venue to celebrate the music icon and NFL star, Donna Kelce appeared in a Macy’s social media video and briefly described her son’s wedding.
“I really can’t say a heck of a lot except it was magical, man, magical,” Donna Kelce said in the video, answering a submitted question about the wedding.
Swift and Travis Kelce wed in a ceremony officiated by actor and comedian Adam Sandler, a representative for Swift confirmed to ABC News on Friday.
Author Glennon Doyle and her wife, former U.S. soccer player Abby Wambach, also shared a photo on Instagram on Sunday revealing their wedding guest looks and celebrating the ceremony.
In the caption, Doyle offered well-wishes for Travis Kelce and Swift. Doyle also responded to a commenter’s question, asking if the event was “fabulous.”
“Yes. And tender. And somehow so big yet so… small,” she wrote. “Intentional, real. So much joy. And I can say without hyperbole that I’ve never witnessed a happier bride or groom.”
Director and Swift collaborator Joseph Kahn, known for his music videos, shared details about the event on Instagram, saying he even got to speak with Steven Spielberg and his wife, Kate Capshaw.
“What I will say about the wedding was it was so much funnier and emotional than expected, and as big as it was, it also felt very intimate. And yes, literally everyone was there,” he added, before sending well-wishes to the newlyweds.
Singer Kelsea Ballerini referenced a Swift song to commemorate the event, while sharing her look from the night — an olive green strapless gown — on X.
“Long live a love story,” she wrote. “Congrats on the most beautiful wedding @taylorswift13 @tkelce i’m still crying and dancing.”
Snow Patrol has announced a pair of concerts celebrating the 20th anniversary of the band’s 2006 album, Eyes Open.
The shows will take place Sept. 21 and 22 at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
“We knew we wanted to do a show or two to celebrate the anniversary and so we picked one of our favourite venues we have ever played,” Snow Patrol writes in a Facebook post. “We will be playing the album in order in its entirety for the first time ever, and afterwards some more hits from across the years and maybe even a deep cut or two.”
You can access a presale by preordering the upcoming Eyes Open 20th anniversary reissue via Snow Patrol’s U.K. web store. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday.
Eyes Open marked Snow Patrol’s fourth album and spawned the band’s breakout hit, “Chasing Cars.” The 20th anniversary reissue will be released July 24.
The most recent Snow Patrol album is 2024’s The Forest Is the Path. They put out a new single called “These Alarms” with Kylie Minogue on July 1.

A new book documenting the history of Black Sabbath has been announced.
The Masters of Reality – Why Black Sabbath Matter is described as the first-ever official Black Sabbath book and was created by rock photographer Ross Halfin in collaboration with the band. It covers Sabbath’s story from their formation in the late ’60s to their final live performance at the Back to the Beginning concert in their hometown of Birmingham, England, in July 2025.
The book was originally set to be announced shortly after Back to the Beginning, but it was put on hold due to Ozzy Osbourne’s death weeks later.
“Ozzy and Sharon [Osbourne] wanted the book out soon after the final show in Birmingham but Ozzy suddenly passing away caused the music world to stop,” Halfin says. “Ozzy was fully involved with the book and he signed the book plates months before the final show, as did all the band members.”
Halfin continues, “So now, we all thought the time was right, one year after Back to the Beginning, to announce the project. A book we all feel celebrates both Black Sabbath and Ozzy and illustrates just how important they are. I hope fans enjoy it.”
The Masters of Reality – Why Black Sabbath Matter is available to preorder now via Rufus Publications. It’s set to ship in October.
The band, which features original member Geoffrey Downes, along with musicians Virgil Donati, John Mitchell and Harry Whitley, will release Indigo on Nov. 6.
Indigo is the first new album from ASIA since 2014’s Gravitas, which was the band’s last album to feature vocalist/bassist John Wetton before his 2017 death. The new album includes two songs, “Tattoo Indigo (Parts 2 & 3)” and “Chesapeake Bay,” which were written by Wetton. They are among the last songs he ever wrote.
Indigo also features guest appearances by Yes’ Steve Howe and Dream Theater’s Mike Portnoy.
Speaking of the album, Downes says in a press release that it was “a joy to make.”
“The songs are deep in musicality, with a powerful and original performance, dynamics and strong lyrical undertones – it’s an album that hopefully our fans will widely appreciate and support our cause to put ASIA back on the map,” he adds.
“The first track off the album is a high-power energy piece, with a few elements of prog trickery but retaining the accessible chorus block, which was always a signature of ASIA’s music from the very beginning,” says Downes. “It’s a song of great optimism, mainly about looking forward to the future and travelling ‘into the light.’ Play it loud!”
