Ozzy has not performed a full concert since 2018, however his son Jack says he’s still keen to do one-off shows. Talking to The Messenger, Jack said, “I don’t think he’ll tour again. But he’s gunning to do one-off shows — like festivals, gigs, things like that. He’s not done yet.”

Speaking on his health himself, Ozzy shared, “Unfortunately, my body is telling me that I’m just not ready [to perform] yet and I am much too proud to have the first show that I do in nearly five years be half-assed.” He released this statement following the cancellation of his slot at Power Festival in California, where he was set to headline alongside Metallica, AC/DC and Guns N’ Roses.

Ozzy also revealed on SiriusXM’s Ozzy Speaks that he recently had a blood clot removed from an artery. He said, “When I had the blood clots in my legs, they put a filter in your artery to stop the blood clots going to your heart and your brain. It sounds worse than it is.”

He continued, “So, on Monday, I went to have it removed. The blood clots have jammed you all up. It’s just disappointment after disappointment. Just get this thing fucking done so I can go get on with my life.”

Despite his multiple health concerns, Ozzy is keen to keep performing despite retiring from touring. He said, “You can’t retire from this game. It’s not a job, it’s a fucking passion.”

Ozzy has also announced his plans to record an LP in 2024, sharing, “I’m just starting to work on it now, and we’ll be recording in the early part of next year. I want to take my time with this one!”

He also took to social media to share the 40th Anniversary vinyl reissue of his iconic album, Bark at the Moon. The album was released on 15th November 1983 after the release of the titular track earlier on, becoming triple platnum in the US.

Eilish picked Something as part of her recent Apple Music show saying; “I remember listening to this song when I was in love, or whatever, and yeah. This song really, once again, got me. I don’t know. I think that it’s such a well-put song. I think the lyrics say something that I barely hear, and I feel like lots of people are saying something similar, but I feel like only The Beatles could say exactly this.”

Billie is notably quite a big Beatles fan, having previously covered Yesterday at the Oscars and a quick rendition of I Will during her Carpool Karaoke episode with James Cordon. “It’s such a thing that we feel, it’s such a human feeling,” she adds. “So this is ‘Something’ by The Beatles. Also, everybody knows that The Beatles were the main, probably, pool of music that we listened to growing up. This is one out of basically all of their songs that I loved and adored growing up, but this one really stuck with me.”

This comes just after the news that Billie Eilish has officially cancelled her When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go world tour last night, explaining that no alternative solutions were available because of the ongoing global health crisis. She was set to play in the O2 and London and the AO in Manchester but unfortunately had to cancel all the shows saying on Instagram; “I wish that I could have seen you on tour this year. I’ve missed performing for you and being on stage so much, I can’t even tell you.”

Despite the show only being announced a few hours before it began, fans excitedly filled the small club venue and sung every word of the songs from the singer’s latest album, ‘Fine Line’. After the on-stage interview, Styles gave fans an amazing set of singles ‘Lights Up’, ‘Watermelon Sugar’, for which he picked up an acoustic guitar. He then performed a new version of ‘Adore You’, ending the show by taking fans back to his self-titled debut solo album with ‘Kiwi’.

During the set, Styles asked fans to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to his friend, who was in the audience. But, the highlight of the night was when fans were treated to a rendition of One Direction’s ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ as Styles danced on stage and had fun with the audience. The performance premiered on SiriusXM Hits 1 on Saturday 29th February, and fans can now watch ‘Adore You’ and ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ on their YouTube Channel.

During the interview, Styles discussed a variety of topics, from his school days to Lizzo. He praised Lizzo and was asked if he would collaborate with her after they performed ‘Juice’ together at a SiriusXm show in Miami. To this, the artist replied “It’s funny because any time people like when two people perform together, everyone thinks, ‘You should do a song together.’ It’s fine, but it’s also fine for people to just like it”. While this may disappoint some fans he did say that “if there was ever a time when it made sense for us to, then absolutely”.

‘Fine Line’, from which three of the songs were taken, is the singer’s most recent album, released in December 2019. The album debuted at number three in the UK and number 1 in the US, and Styles is now preparing to embark on his second headlining tour, named ‘Love on Tour’. The run will begin in Birmingham on 15th April 2020, and travel all over the world, coming to a close in Madison Square Garden, New York on 31st October 2020. Head to the official website for more information and tickets.

The new music video from Styles premiered on the same day as the Williamsburg gig. Already at 8 million views, the video for ‘Falling’ shows Styles in a different mood from his on stage performance. He is shown alone playing the piano, as the room around him fills with water. This is one of the many incredible surprises Styles has given fans over the past few months, and there will likely be more to look forward to over the course of the year.

The venue is set to be SiriusXM’s new West Coast studio, The Garage. Intended to be an acoustic set, unnamed special musical acts will be supporting frontman Chris Martin and guitarist Jonny Buckland.

Coldplay will also take part in a Q&A session from those in attendance after the set. SiriusXM and Pandora subscribers can win tickets by taking part in an email invite from XM, or alternatively, via Pandora listening histories.

For those who’ll miss out, the acoustic set is being broadcast live at 7 p.m. PT/10 p.m. ET on SiriusXM’s The Spectrum, (Channel 28)

Alt Nation will be repeating the set via Channel 36.

Coldplay’s latest album, ‘Everyday Life’ received four of five stars in an NME review. The double album was released on November, 22 and hailed as “a confounding experiment from a deceptively forward-thinking band.”

The review summarised that ‘Everyday Life’ regularly steps to the left-field, proving that Coldplay are more adventurous than they’re often given credit for.”

Recently, Coldplay decided to search for ways to make touring more sustainable and less harmful against the environment. Chris Martin said, “We’re taking time to see how our tour can be actively beneficial…All of us have to work out the best way of doing our job.”

It has been Martin’s ambition to ensure all future tours “have a positive impact.”

He further said: “Our next tour will be the best possible version of a tour like that [their last world tour] environmentally. We would be disappointed if it’s not carbon neutral.” 

Coldplay released the music video for ‘Daddy’ in November. It was a collaboration between the band and Aardman Animations, the company behind Wallace & Gromit and Chicken Run. The music video was a combination of live-action puppetry, digitally painted sets, and 2D animation.
