The world is mourning the loss of a true rock legend. Ozzy Osbourne, famously known as the “Prince of Darkness” and the pioneering frontman of Black Sabbath, has passed away at the age of 76. His family confirmed the heartbreaking news, stating that he died peacefully, surrounded by his loved ones.

Born John Michael Osbourne on December 3, 1948, in Birmingham, England, Ozzy became one of the most influential figures in music history. Rising to fame in the early 1970s with Black Sabbath, Osbourne helped define the heavy metal genre with groundbreaking albums like Paranoid, Master of Reality, and Black Sabbath Vol. 4. His unmistakable voice and dark, rebellious charisma gave metal its edge and mystique.

After parting ways with Black Sabbath in 1979, Ozzy launched a solo career that proved equally legendary. His debut solo album, Blizzard of Ozz, featured hits like Crazy Train and Mr. Crowley, cementing his place as a force in rock. Over the decades, he sold over 100 million records, won multiple Grammy Awards, and became a global icon for generations of fans.

Beyond the stage, Ozzy’s life was one of resilience and reinvention. He faced battles with addiction, personal turmoil, and serious health challenges—including a Parkinson’s diagnosis and complications from past injuries. Through it all, he remained a symbol of perseverance, humor, and authenticity.

In recent years, despite his declining health, Ozzy continued to connect with fans. His final live performance took place on July 5, 2025, in his hometown of Birmingham, where he reunited with Black Sabbath for a powerful farewell concert—a fitting end to a storied career.

He is survived by his wife, Sharon Osbourne, their children Aimee, Kelly, and Jack, his children Louis and Jessica from a previous marriage, and several grandchildren. In a statement, the family said, “It is with more sadness than words can express that we announce the passing of our beloved Ozzy Osbourne. He was with his family and surrounded by love.”

Ozzy Osbourne leaves behind a towering legacy—not only as a groundbreaking artist, but as a cultural icon whose voice, vision, and spirit changed the face of music forever.

He may be gone, but his music, energy, and legend will live on—louder than ever.

Grand Rapids, Michigan,– Authorities have identified the two men who tragically lost their lives in a plane crash Monday near Lowell City Airport.

Kevin Lawrence, 62, of Presque Isle, and Paul Shalk, 68, of Rogers City, were killed when their aircraft went down around 4:30 p.m. on July 21, in Vergennes Township, striking a building at Whistle Stop Self Storage.

The pair had taken off from Alpena, with a flight plan passing through Kent County. Moments before the crash were captured on a security camera from a nearby business. The resulting fire was severe, prompting a response from 15 fire departments to bring it under control.

The Kent County Sheriff’s Office has expressed condolences to the families of both men as the investigation into the crash continues.

HONOLULU)— Heartbreak ripples through the Oʻahu community following the tragic death of Kylee Chun, a 29-year-old single mother whose life was cut short in a wrong-way crash on the H-1 freeway early Sunday morning.

“She’s so young and she still had so much more to do — so much more to live for,” said her aunt, Beejay Drury, through tears. “It’s just heartbreaking. I mean, all of our hearts are shattered.”

The crash occurred just before 4 a.m. near the Punahou Street overpass, when Kylee, driving eastbound in the westbound lanes, collided with a Matson semi-truck. Police confirmed that she was not wearing a seatbelt, though speed is not believed to be a factor.

Kylee had just celebrated her birthday and was heading home when the crash occurred. She had recently returned to Hawaiʻi in January after being displaced by the devastating California wildfires, and was still adjusting to the island’s roads—often relying on navigation apps to find her way.

“She was new to Oʻahu and hadn’t been home in a long time,” said Drury. “She was just trying to get around using Google Maps or Apple Maps.”

A devoted mother to two young boys, ages 3 and 5, Kylee had moved back to Hawaiʻi with dreams of building a better life for her children. She was known for her sweet, kind, and playful spirit, and she hoped to one day become a teacher.

“She was full of light and laughter,” Drury added. “Always spontaneous with her boys and always doing fun stuff. She just wanted a better life for the boys. It’s been so hard for them these last few months.”

Now, her loved ones are left facing the unimaginable — how to explain to two small children that their mother is never coming home.

Kylee’s death marks the 44th traffic fatality on Oʻahu this year, double the number at the same time in 2024. A GoFundMe page has been launched to help cover funeral expenses and support her young sons in the months ahead.

Kylee Chun will be remembered for the joy she brought to those around her and the deep love she held for her family. Her passing leaves a void in the hearts of all who knew her.
