London, July 25 — On a misty morning at Highgate Cemetery, a farewell unfolded that those in attendance will never forget.
Ozzy Osbourne, the immortal icon of rock and roll, was laid to rest — and it was none other than Brian May, legendary guitarist of Queen, who led the quiet procession that would etch itself into the hearts of hundreds gathered.
There were no announcements. No formal introduction. Just minutes before Ozzy’s casket was to reach its final resting place, Brian May appeared in silence, clad in a long black coat, his silver hair falling gently to his shoulders. In his hands: a worn acoustic guitar, weathered with time and history.
Then, without a word, he began to walk — slowly, beside the casket — gently strumming the opening notes of “Mama, I’m Coming Home.” And in that moment, the world stood still.
Austin, Texas — A massive fire broke out late Sunday night at Motel 9 near the University/Downtown area, sending plumes of smoke visible across the city skyline.
Local reports and footage shared by Citizen show multiple structures fully engulfed in flames. Firefighters from the Austin Fire Department responded rapidly, deploying several engines to contain the blaze before it could spread to nearby buildings.
Witnesses described chaotic scenes as guests rushed out of their rooms, some barefoot, clutching their belongings. “It spread fast — faster than anyone expected,” one eyewitness said. “The entire side of the building was burning in minutes.”
ave not yet confirmed any injuries or fatalities. Roads around the area have been temporarily closed as crews continue to battle the fire and prevent it from reaching surrounding businesses.
