Ozzy Osbourne’s Family Says Goodbye to Pup on Christmas

Christmas is supposed to be a joyful time of year, but for Ozzy Osbourne’s daughter Kelly and the rest of the Osbourne family, this Christmas brought some sad news. Kelly revealed via her Twitter page that the family’s cherished chihuahua Martin passed away on Christmas day! She tweeted Sunday (Dec. 25): “Today is a sad day in the Osbourne family house hold we lost R dog martin of 14 years. Devastated does not quite sum it up! #NotSoMerryXmas.”

Martin often appeared on the Osbourne family's reality TV show, The Osbournes, and Ozzy’s wife and manager Sharon described the pup as “a sophisticated little creature” in the “pets” section of her personal web site.

Regardless of the sad news, it seems Kelly was able to bounce back quickly. Later that day, she tweeted: “‘Peace on earth will come to stay, When we live Christmas every day!’” The day after Christmas, she started looking ahead to New Year’s Eve celebrations, tweeting: “It’s time 2 start planning my NYE party! I’m not [bringing] in the new year in a club full of wasted people so I’m staying home w/ good food/friends!” Rest in peace, Martin!

Freddie Mercury ‘Goodbye’ Video Broadcast

Freddie Mercury’s previously unseen, last performance was recently shown by the BBC.

The documentary, Queen: Days of Our Lives, included film of the flamboyant frontman preparing for the video of “These are the Days of Our Lives.” The unseen Mercury footage was discovered by Rhys Thomas, who co-produced the documentary.

According to the Independent newspaper, Thomas said: “The footage of Freddie in his final video is shocking. He is so frail, he needs two hands to hold a champagne glass. But he knows he is being filmed and wants to show people what he was going through.”

Queen guitarist Brian May commented: “At this time, Freddie’s becoming weakened by this horrible disease, but he’d throw a couple of vodkas down and prop himself up on the mixing desk and go for it. He actually says a kind of goodbye in the video.”

Mercury died of complications stemming from AIDS in 1991.
