Ozzy May Unretire, Tour In Wheelchair
You can’t keep “the Prince of Darkness” down. Sources say rock legend Ozzy Osbourne is considering walking back his decision to retire from live performances due to poor health.
Insiders say Ozzy is taking a cue from fellow musicians Axl Rose and Phil Collins, who have not let injuries or ill health stop them from hitting the road. Rose once had a throne installed onstage so he could perform with an injured foot, while Collins’ reportedly poor health had confined him to a wheelchair during recent appearances.
While it is being reported Ozzy’s wife, Sharon Osbourne, has some reservations, the rocker is determined to mount a comeback. “Ozzy is refusing to give up on his hope of getting on stage despite his statement last month,” said the source. “He has declared: ‘I am gonna f**king get back on stage.’

Chrissie Hinde and Courtney Love Are at War with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Courtney Love recently complained on social media about how underrepresented women are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And she went a lot further in an op-ed published on Friday.
She noted that only about eight percent of inductees are women and gave examples of pioneering female artists who either waited way too long to be inducted or still aren't in . . . like Chaka Khan and Kate Bush.
She also noted that only nine of the 31 people on Hall's nominating board are women . . . and about 90% of the voters are men.
She said, quote, "The Rock Hall's canon-making doesn't just reek of sexist gatekeeping, but also purposeful ignorance and hostility."
Courtney ended by saying, quote, "If [the Rock Hall] cannot properly honor what visionary women artists have created, innovated, revolutionized, and contributed to popular music, well, then let it go to hell in a handbag."
Also, on Friday, Chrissie Hynde went off on the Rock Hall in a Facebook post, where she suggested that she'd give away her position in it if anyone wanted it. She was inducted in 2005 as a member of the Pretenders.
Chrissie says she only accepted the induction to make her parents happy. She added, quote, "The whole thing was, and is total bollocks. It's absolutely nothing to do with rock 'n' roll and anyone who thinks it is a fool."
