So Ozzy Osbourne Has A Makeup Line - And I Want It All

Celebrities with their own makeup, skincare and perfume lines are pretty standard these days. Still, most think of artists like Britney Spears or J.Lo when talking about such things. What about Ozzy Osbourne? Yes, the Prince of Darkness has a signature look and he sure has worn a lot of eyeliner in his day. Now, he has a makeup line too. If you want his dark look you can get it now via Rock and Roll Beauty. (Seriously, why didn't I start that company?)

The special collection is available at Ulta. That's a mega makeup chain for those who might not purchase such items on the regular. The eye shadow palette is in the shape of a bat... because, of course it is. The gothic makeup mirror looks really cool and would make a nice gift. The makeup brushes have a great carrier featuring a skull and Ozzy's logo. For practical purposes, the brushes would be great for travel. All jokes aside, the makeup line looks pretty solid. The lip colors are names of popular Ozzy songs like "Mr. Crowley" and "Perry Mason" (of course).

Rock and Roll Beauty is the same company that recently released a special Def Leppard makeup collection, too.

HM The Queen Has Passed - NWOBHM Required

Her Majesty, The Queen has passed at age 96 and now we have King Charles III. For such a historic day, it seems fitting to listen to artists from the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, yes? Think bands like Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, Saxon, Ozzy Osbourne/Black Sabbath, Girl, Whitesnake, Rainbow, UFO and Judas Priest.

I will point out that Queen Elizabeth II met with many musicians over her decades on the throne, including Def Leppard.

"She has transcended eras with good grace and service to her country that is unparalleled anywhere or by anyone. Thank you your Majesty for a lifetime of great memories and leadership."

Queen Elizabeth II's coronation was the first royal event of its kind to be broadcast almost in full on television. But it was a token of the changes — and global fascination — that accompanied her time as queen. Read our full obituary here. https://t.co/US4iTniVDh

Here's a 1983 concert bootleg of my beloved Def Leppard performing at Hammersmith Odeon in London. This was really early into the Pyromania tour. Elizabeth II was coronated on June 2, 1953... meaning she had already been monarch for 30 years by the time Def Leppard performed the concert shared below.

Def Leppard, 'This Guitar' - Lyric Video

Def Leppard just dropped a lyric video for their song "This Guitar." The song is on the fabulous new album Diamond Star Halos. I actually saw this first via the Def Leppard email list. Usually I see this stuff on social media well before the email blasts. It was a nice surprise to see something in my email box other than spam.

Happy Friday and good luck to the Americans playing the Mega Millions lottery tonight. The prize is over a billion (yes, with a B!) so of course I grabbed a couple tickets too. When I win, we'll have a big Bring Back Glam! concert - free for everyone!

Def Leppard Performs On CNN For Independence Day

Def Leppard was featured on CNN's live Fourth of July celebration last night. For the program, the Leps did "Pour Some Sugar On Me" and "Rock of Ages." The music played as a backdrop to the New York City fireworks.

Last night was not a stop for The Stadium Tour, so the "live" performance was either from an earlier gig or a special one-off show by the Leps. Considering the logistics of that, I'd say the songs were recorded during an earlier stop of the tour. Regardless, it was fun watching the band on TV.

'Fire It Up' -- New Def Leppard Track

The new music keeps rolling in this week. Def Leppard just released "Fire It Up" from their upcoming new album Diamond Star Halos. I have to say, I really like "Fire It Up" and I think the new album is going to go over well for Def Leppard. They are making music for legacy fans and this new stuff is giving me Hysteria vibes. "Fire It Up" is a fun song for summer, so this is dropping at just the right time. Good for the Leps... and good for us, too!
