So sad to hear of the passing of Ozzy Osbourne. Truly the end of an era. His music, his presence, his sheer force of personality—there will never be another like him. So grateful he gave us that unforgettable farewell concert just weeks ago. What a way to bow out. Rest in peace, Ozzy. 🖤⚡

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to the Lorde listening party for her new album 'Virgin' last night!

British Birds fans spotted fighting over a pair of Preston Pop Fest tickets outside the Bus Station today. They obviously don't know there are still some £55 early bird weekend passes left at @actionrecords.bsky.social . They are flying out though, so probably none left by the end of the week!
