Rockstar Ozzy Osbourne has died, according to multiple reports.

“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,” his family said in a statement to the press, signed by wife Sharon Osbourne and their children Kelly, Jack, Aimee, as well as his son Louis from his prior marriage to Thelma Riley. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”

The Black Sabbath rocker lived with Parkinson’s disease. Earlier this month Osbourne played what was dubbed his “final bow” from a throne at Villa Park in the U.K.

I was fan of Ozzie as much as his music. Definitely a man who didn't take himself too seriously. He was great at being himself. Kendra James spent three years on the road with him back in the day. She had nothing but good to say about the man and his people.

Sharon once booked Ozzy and herself into a hotel in New York which did not allow alcohol on the premises, and took away all Ozzy's clothes and locked him in their room (because at that time one drink might have killed him); when she returned he was on the bed, naked, and pissed out of his skull. When he came round she asked "All right, how did you do it?", he replied, "I put on one of your dresses, went down the fire escape, and found a gay bar".
It's the regular gays in the bar I feel sorry for.

that story says it all! the passing of a Giant

Speaking of the passing of giants...

"Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan dies at 71"

Terry “Hulk Hogan” Bollea died on Thursday, WWE announced. He was 71 years old.

News of Hogan’s passing was initially reported by TMZ. Per the outlet, medical personnel were called to Hogan’s Florida home for a “cardiac arrest.” Hogan is survived by his third wife, Sky Daily, and two children, Brooke and Nick. Hogan was married twice prior to Linda Claridge and Jennifer McDaniel.

Although Hogan’s professional wrestling career began in the late 1970s, his true explosion on the scene didn’t come until the mid-1980s, when he helped Vince McMahon turn the then-WWF from primarily a northeast-based wrestling territory into a national brand, and eventually a multi-billion-dollar company.

During his initial run with McMahon’s promotion, Hogan’s popularity surged, making him easily the most famous and recognized wrestler during the period. Hogan’s entrance music (“Real American”), signature red-and-yellow gear, his catchphrase “Whatcha gonna do, when Hulkamania runs wild on you?” and his dubbing of fans as “Hulkamaniacs” helped make him arguably the most popular babyface of all time. Although Hogan’s matches followed a simple formula — offense, near defeat, “hulking up” before ultimately winning — he remained the biggest draw WWF had at the time.

This was Hogan's most famous fight against another giant who left us some time ago:
