(written by Islander) This is a song premiere that requires historical context because it is a musical celebration and memorial by the bandmates and family of a man taken from the world too soon. The history begins in 1995 in Finland when Agathon started the black metal band Gloomy Grim as his solo project. In […]

BIRMINGHAM, UK — Nearly one year after the world lost the “Prince of Darkness,” Jack Osbourne has officially broken his silence on the status of the long-awaited Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne biopic, confirming the project has entered a massive new development phase. During a high-friction May 12 livestream, the 40-year-old producer revealed that while the script is finalized and “phenomenal” talent is already attached, fans will have to wait significantly longer than expected for the theatrical release.
Describing the film as a “labor of love” and a gritty origin story, Jack confirmed the production is moving “full steam ahead” at Sony Studios to ensure the legacy of his father—who tragically passed away in July 2025—is captured with brutal, unvarnished honesty.
While the Osbourne camp remains tight-lipped on specific names, Jack confirmed they have already secured their “decided pick” to portray the heavy metal icon. Describing the lead as a “phenomenal, phenomenal actor,” Jack noted that the film will focus heavily on the early 1980s, his father’s solo transition, and the tragic death of guitarist Randy Rhoads. “Initially it was gonna go from kind of my dad as a young man to the kind of mid-’90s, but we’re shrinking it down,” Jack revealed, highlighting that the primary focus remains the legendary love story between Ozzy and Sharon.
The film, scripted by Lee Hall (Rocketman), is being produced by Osbourne Media in partnership with Sony Pictures and Polygram Entertainment. Sharon Osbourne has previously mentioned her desire to see Florence Pugh or “the little girl from Game of Thrones” (Maisie Williams) portray her on-screen, though official casting announcements are being withheld until a director is officially attached to the finalized script.
Despite the momentum, Jack dropped a bombshell regarding the release window that may sting for fans hoping for a 2026 or 2027 debut. “Realistically — I mean, look, we’re already halfway through ’26 — it probably won’t come out until ’28,” Jack stated during his YouTube update. This timeline aligns with Sharon’s earlier warnings that “movies take forever to make,” a sentiment Ozzy himself echoed in 2024 when he joked he might not be alive to see the final product—a prophecy that sadly came true following his fatal heart attack on July 22, 2025.
Unlike the “squeaky clean” treatment of other music biopics, the Osbournes are insisting on an adult-rated, raw portrayal of their lives. The film is set to dive deep into the “madness” of Sharon’s childhood with her father, the “English Godfather” Don Arden, and the high-stakes friction of her taking over Ozzy’s management in 1982. It is an “origin story” designed to showcase the resilience of a survivor, featuring a soundtrack that spans Black Sabbath’s greatest hits and Ozzy’s solo career.
When is the Ozzy Osbourne biopic coming out?
According to Jack Osbourne, the film is realistically slated for a 2028 release, as the team is currently in the process of attaching a director to the project.
Who is playing Ozzy Osbourne in the movie?
A “phenomenal” actor has been selected for the role, but the official name has not yet been revealed to the public.
What will the Ozzy biopic be about?
The film focuses on the early 80s love story between Ozzy and Sharon, his solo career launch, and the era surrounding Randy Rhoads’ tragic death.
John Michael “Ozzy” Osbourne (1948–2025) was the legendary frontman of Black Sabbath and a multi-platinum solo artist known as the “Prince of Darkness”. After being fired from Sabbath in 1979, he launched a massive solo career managed by his wife, Sharon, selling over 100 million albums worldwide. His final performance took place on July 5, 2025, at the “Back To The Beginning” charity concert in Birmingham, just seventeen days before his death from a heart attack at age 76.

You saw the headline, so you already know you’re in. A new Mountain Goats album would be enough. A new Mountain Goats song inspired by Charlie Sheen’s snuff film panic? Now we’re fucking cooking. Today, we get both. Today is a good day. It’s only been, what, six months since the Mountain Goats released Through…

Kid Rock has officially weaponized the 2026 concert season with his “Freedom 250 Tour | The Road to Nashville,” and he’s doing it by dragging 16th President Abraham Lincoln into the digital age—whether history buffs like it or not. The “American Badass” is currently touring the nation with a production so unapologetically loud and aesthetically unhinged that it’s triggering a full-scale industry meltdown.
From an AI-generated Lincoln signing the Emancipation Proclamation to a prerecorded cameo from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the 55-year-old showman is proving that he doesn’t just want to play music; he wants to puree American history in a high-speed blender and serve it with a side of pyrotechnics and Jim Beam.
The “Nuclear” trigger of the tour isn’t the music—it’s the LED screens. Fans are being treated to a surreal, AI-generated re-creation of Abraham Lincoln signing the Emancipation Proclamation, a visual that has purists and historians screaming into the void. It’s a bold, “ridiculous” move that sets the tone for a show that oscillates between a somber history lesson and a full-blown tailgate party. When you pair “Honest Abe” with President Trump on-screen proclaiming the military is “defending America like it’s never been defended before,” you aren’t just watching a concert; you’re witnessing a calculated cultural earthquake.
The visual assault continues with a prerecorded clip of Pete Hegseth offering Rock a ride in a “Department of War” helicopter—a moment that leads directly into Kid Rock descending from the rafters like a Detroit-bred deity in a sequined tracksuit. While the skeptics call it “overstuffed,” the 15,000-strong crowds are marinating in a red-white-and-blue stew of iconography that makes standard country shows look like a library reading.
The most annoying reality for the haters is that Robert James Ritchie is currently outworking every 20-year-old in the industry. Twenty minutes into the set, Kid Rock is usually sweating so profusely that his “Made In Detroit” shirt looks like it “survived a maritime disaster,” but the man refuses to slow down. For two hours, he is a blur of kinetic energy—hopping between turntables to scratch records one-handed, lighting a cigar mid-verse, and conducting his band through a jukebox possessed by the ghost of a 2003 Spring Break.
The setlist is a chaotic, genre-defying “puree”:
At his core, Kid Rock remains a walking contradiction—a wealthy celebrity masquerading as a dive-bar outlaw. He famously told his audience that his two most prized possessions are his Detroit NAACP “Great Expectations Award” and the Waffle House “Legend Award.” It’s this specific brand of redneck-friendly, multi-cultural, “anything-goes” swagger that fuels the “Freedom 250” engine.
While the political imagery draws the loudest headlines, the emotional core of the tour is pure, unadulterated nostalgia. The loudest reactions aren’t for the speeches or the AI presidents; they are for the communal singalongs of “Cowboy,” “Bawitdaba,” and “All Summer Long.” People aren’t just there to see a show; they’re there to feel loud and unapologetic for a few hours before the firework-fueled 10:48 p.m. finale.
What is the AI Lincoln scene in the Kid Rock concert? The show features a high-definition, AI-generated animation of Abraham Lincoln signing the Emancipation Proclamation as part of a massive historical video montage.
Is Pete Hegseth actually involved in the 2026 tour? He appears in a prerecorded intro video where he offers Kid Rock a military helicopter ride to the stage, which has become a major talking point for the tour.
How long is the Kid Rock “Freedom 250” set? The show typically runs for nearly two hours, featuring a genre-bending setlist that usually concludes with a fireworks display around 10:45 p.m.
Robert James Ritchie, known to the world as Kid Rock, exploded onto the scene with 1998’s Devil Without a Cause, a record that redefined the fusion of Detroit hip-hop and heavy metal. Over a three-decade career, he has successfully pivoted into a country-rock powerhouse and a polarizing cultural figure. In 2026, he remains one of the most bankable touring acts in the U.S., consistently selling out 15,000-seat amphitheaters.

Kid Rock’s 2026 “Freedom 250 Tour” is a visual riot featuring AI-generated historical figures, Pete Hegseth cameos, and a high-energy two-hour set that proves the 55-year-old showman is still the “American Badass” of the nostalgia blender.

M.U.T.T. celebrated the vinyl release of “Toughest Street in Town“ at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco.
If you’re not familiar with this great band, it features Isa Anderson from Dead to Me on drums and some of the best former members of Culture Abuse: Matt Walker, John Jr., and Shane Plitt.
M.U.T.T. are unapologetically themselves while at the same time built their band around a community that embraces them.
The crowd was filled with other musicians and workers from other venues that took the night off work to support them. Their approach to punk has an earnest raw grit and yet has a refined execution.
Check out their record:
Supporting the show was East Bay band, Blue Zero. Another great band from Chris Natividad of Marbled Eye and Public Interest that blends DIY, shoegaze, indie, and post-punk sounds.
Blue Zero announced this is their last show with their drummer Rick Altieri. Check out their last album:

Salem, the electronic duo and trailblazers of the mildly contentious subgenre known as witch house, are the latest artist to get a streetwear collection released in their honor. Today details of the the Supreme x Salem collection have been unveiled, including garb such as t-shirts, outerwear, and a pair of grippy hospital socks. (Maybe more useful than the Aphex Twin coin knife Supreme released last year?)
