60’s teen idol Bobby Sherman.
the last brother of "Here comes the Brides" that was still alive. Robert Cabot Sherman Jr. (July 22, 1943 – June 24, 2025) 81 yrs old

Wow! so this is why I never heard of or saw him for a long time. "Sherman left show business in the 1970s for a career as a paramedic and a deputy sheriff, but performed occasionally into the 1990s" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Sherman

Ozzy Osbourne, prince of darkness who rose to fame with Black Sabbath, dies aged 76​

The “Prince of Darkness”, Ozzy Osbourne, who shocked and awed with his heavy metal band Black Sabbath, has died aged 76.

News of his death was announced by his family.

For many years, fans felt that Osbourne must be indestructible. The “Godfather of Metal” had survived decades of hard-living, including drug and alcohol abuse, along with controversies such as the notorious moment he bit the head off a bat during a live concert in Des Moines, IA.

In his later life, however, he was a reformed wildman who suffered a string of health issues, mostly related to neck injuries sustained in a 2003 quad-biking accident, which were later exacerbated by a fall in 2019. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease that same year, and also endured a bout of Covid.
