Crap On Extra: RIP Ozzy Osbourne and South Park Strikes!

Description

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.

Ozzy is survived by his wife Sharon, his daughter Kelly and his son Jack.

There is information about the drowning death of Malcolm-Jamal Warner.
Sources said Warner died on Sunday at Costa Rica’s Playa Grande Beach while on a family vacation.
The beach has been called "challenging," and there were signs in English and Spanish warning about the risk of drowning.
There were no lifeguards present due to a lack of resources.
The Caribbean Guard stated, "Although there were people on the beach who entered the water to rescue him, they did not arrive in time. He was pulled from underwater without vital signs, and despite CPR maneuvers being performed on the beach, resuscitation was unsuccessful."
Warner was 54.

Tom Jones Postpones Show in Germany Due to Health Complications

Sir Tom Jones has been forced to cancel a gig in Germany.
On Tuesday, just hours before taking the stage in Bremen, he postponed his show due to health reasons.
“Hello to all the fans in Bremen,” he wrote on Instagram.
“Unfortunately, I must postpone my show this evening, as I’ve contracted an upper respiratory infection that needs treatment and rest. I know this is really disappointing and will cause inconvenience to you all, and I’m very sorry about that.”
Jones is traveling through Europe on a summer-long tour that will wrap in late August.

Paul McCartney Nearly Appeared On 'The Dark Side Of The Moon'

Pink Floyd's The Dark Side Of The Moon is considered one of the greatest albums in rock history - and it almost featured a guest appearance from a Beatle.
Paul McCartney, who at the time was fronting Wings following the Beatles' breakup, actually recorded some vocals for the record - but Roger Waters ultimately decided to cut it.
Waters later said McCartney's performance didn't fit with the rest of the record: "He was trying to be funny, which wasn't what we wanted at all."
Pink Floyd's David Gilmour would later play on McCartney's solo album Give My Regards To Broad Street.

Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham Appear On Cryptic Billboard

Yet another cryptic clue has appeared teasing a possible reunion of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham.
It's a billboard on L.A.'s Sunset Strip featuring the cover of their 1973 pre-Fleetwood Mac-album Buckingham Nicks, along with the date Sept. 19th.
Last week, Nicks and Buckingham each posted a lyric from "Frozen Love", a song from the album.
Most fans are convinced it will be a long-awaited album reissue - it's been out of print for decades and not currently available digitally.
Nicks and Buckingham appeared to be on the outs after Buckingham was fired from Fleetwood Mac in 2018.
