Ozzy Osbourne has rescheduled his UK and European ‘No More Tours 2’ shows for the second time due to COVID restrictions – see the new dates for 2023 below.

The gigs in question, which were originally announced back in September 2018 , have already been postponed a number of times due to Osbourne’s ill health and, more recently, the pandemic.

Most recently, the gigs, which will see Osbourne supported by Judas Priest , were scheduled to begin in January 2022 , but continued COVID restrictions in Europe have now pushed back the dates again.

The shows will begin in Helsinki on May 3 next year, with European dates running throughout the rest of the month. The UK leg will then begin in Nottingham on May 31 before the tour finishes with a hometown show in Birmingham on June 14.

Announcing the postponement, Ozzy said: “Due to the ongoing uncertainty with full capacity events & travel logistics in much of Europe, we have come to the difficult decision to postpone my 2022 tour to 2023.”

Earlier this month, it was revealed that a new solo album from Ozzy Osbourne is on the way soon , according to a recent financial statement issued by Sony .

His last full-length effort, ‘Ordinary Man’, landed back in February of 2020. Flanked by the singles ‘Under The Graveyard’ , ‘Straight To Hell’ and ‘It’s A Raid’ (featuring Post Malone ) – and scoring a five-star review from NME – the record ended a 10-year hiatus from Osbourne’s solo endeavours.

He recently told Metal Hammer that album 13 would be “similar in tone” to that LP, but conceded that he “can’t describe it completely”. He continued: “I’ve not heard it for a while because it keeps going over to the next person to add their parts – we’re fucking around with it all the time.”

Last December, Osbourne’s producer and guitarist Andrew Watt said he and his bandmates were “about halfway through” recording the new album . The new band, Watt explained, features Osbourne on vocals, himself on guitar and Robert Trujillo ( Metallica ) on bass, with Taylor Hawkins ( Foo Fighters ) and Chad Smith ( Red Hot Chili Peppers ) sharing drumming duties.

Ozzy Osbourne pushes back UK/European tour until 2023

Ozzy Osbourne's No More Tours 2 has been rescheduled once more

Ozzy Osbourne has been forced to push back his UK/European tour for the second time due to Covid restrictions.

First announced in September 2018, the No More Tours 2 run has been rescheduled multiple times due to Ozzy's ill-health issues and the pandemic. Now, it has been moved once again due to "the ongoing uncertainty with full capacity events & travel logistics in much of Europe".

The gigs, which had been rescheduled to take place in January 2022, will now commence from May 2023 – a five year long wait for those who originally bought them in 2018.

Kicking off on May 3 in Helsinki, Ozzy will be travelling to Stockholm, Dortmund, Madrid and other European destinations throughout the month, before venturing on the UK leg from May 31, starting in Nottingham. The tour will come to an end in Ozzy's hometown of Birmingham on June 14.

Announcing the change of plans, Ozzy said: "Due to the ongoing uncertainty with full capacity events & travel logistics in much of Europe, we have come to the difficult decision to postpone my 2022 tour to 2023.”

Earlier this year, wife Sharon Osbourne announced that Ozzy was to undergo major surgery to correct his neck and spine issues that developed following a serious fall back in 2019. Since the incident, the vocalist has been battling Parkinson’s, multiple staph infections, pneumonia, the flu and a burst blood vessel in his eye.

Ozzy Osbourne cancels all tour dates, saying he is 'too weak' to perform

Published 1 February 2023

Rock star Ozzy Osbourne says has announced his retirement from touring, saying he is too weak to perform.

The Black Sabbath frontman told fans he was still struggling to recover from a spine injury he sustained in 2019.

"Never would I have imagined my touring days would end this way," he said in a social media statement.

The star was injured in a fall four years ago, which aggravated injuries he suffered in a near-fatal quad bike accident in 2003.

"My singing voice is fine," said the 74-year-old. "However, after three operations, stem cell treatments, endless physical therapy sessions, and most recently groundbreaking Cybernics (HAL) Treatment, my body is still physically weak."

Cybernics treatment involves the use of a $20,000 (£16,230) mechanical "exoskeleton" to help patients recover mobility.

With the statement, Osbourne cancelled all the upcoming dates on his Europe and UK farewell tour, which was due to commence in Finland this May.

The shows had already been postponed several times following his original accident and the Covid-19 pandemic.

Osbourne closes 'incredible' Commonwealth Games

"I am honestly humbled by the way you've all patiently held onto your tickets for all this time," said the singer, "but in all good conscience, I have now come to the realisation that I'm not physically capable... as I know I couldn't deal with the travel required."

He added that his team "is currently coming up with ideas for where I will be able to perform without having to travel from city to city and country to country".

Parkinson's diagnosis

Osbourne has suffered a number of health problems in recent years, from Covid to Parkinson's Disease, which he was diagnosed with in 2003, but didn't announce publicly until 2020.

Speaking to The Guardian last year, he said the condition had left him with mobility problems.

"You think you're lifting your feet, but your foot doesn't move," he explained. "I feel like I'm walking around in lead boots.

Last year, he also underwent major surgery to remove and realign pins in his neck and back, which his wife Sharon Osbourne said "would determine the rest of his life".

The surgery was a success, but left the singer in "agony".

"It got so bad that at one point I thought: 'Oh God, please don't let me wake up tomorrow morning'," he told The Guardian in the same interview.

Despite that, the star appeared at last year's Commonwealth Games closing ceremony in his hometown of Birmingham, performing Iron Man and Paranoid.

During that performance, he had a back brace placed behind him for support.

In his statement, Osbourne said retiring from touring was "one of the hardest things I've ever had to share with my loyal fans".

He went on to thank his family, his band, his crew and touring partners Judas Priest for their support.

Finally, he thanked his fans "for their endless dedication... and for giving me the life that I never ever dreamed I would have".

Ozzy osbourne cancels 2023 uk and europe tour dates due to health issues.

Hard rock legendary singer and performer Ozzy Osbourne has announced the cancellation of his 2023 tour dates for the UK and around Europe. Ozzy’s announcement is sure to disappoint his fans who have been eagerly awaiting the return of the “Prince of Darkness” to the stage. In a heartfelt statement released early this morning, Osbourne clarified the reason behind his show cancellations. As per his statement, the damage to his spine from a fall four years ago will prevent him from touring.

“I am incredibly humbled by the way you (fans) have patiently held onto your tickets for all this time. However, I must be honest with you all and admit that I am not physically fit for doing my upcoming European/UK tour dates,” said the 74-year-old Grammy winner and former Black Sabbath vocalist. “My singing voice is still strong, but I simply cannot handle the exasperating physical demands of touring, especially with the travel required.”

Ozzy has gone through three surgeries, stem cell treatments, physical therapy and even Hybrid Assistive Limb treatment, still Ozzy Osbourne remains physically unfit. He extended his gratitude to his family, fans, band and crew, and fellow metal pioneers Judas Priest, but said he never could have imagined his touring days would end this way. Osbourne’s team is reportedly working on alternative plans so he can still perform without the stress of traveling from city to city and country to country.

Those who have purchased tickets for Ozzy’s 2023 tour dates will get a full refund at the point of purchase. Ozzy’s tours had also been canceled earlier in 2019 given to his health issues. In 2019, he had to cancel shows in Europe and North America because of a “bad fall,” which injured his neck vertebrae. In 2020, he announced he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, a nervous system disorder that affects movement.

Ozzy Osbourne holds a respected and influential place in the history of the heavy metal music genre. He was born in Birmingham, England in 1948 as John Michael Osbourne. He came in limelight as the lead vocalist for the legendary metal band Black Sabbath. With his unique voice and mesmerizing stage presence, Osbourne did not take much time to become one of the most celebrated and beloved figures in the genre.

Ozzy and the other three members of Black Sabbath were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. Also, his family, including wife Sharon and two of his children, were the stars of the hit reality show “The Osbournes.”

Throughout his singing career, Ozzy Osbourne has been known for his larger-than-life personality and his incredible musical talent. He has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, both as a solo artist and as a member of Black Sabbath. His solo hits include classics like “Crazy Train,” “Mama, I’m Coming Home,” and “Bark at the Moon.”

Unfortunately, the fans of Ozzy Osbourne may have to wait a little longer to see him perform live. Nevertheless, with his high spirit and the support of his loved ones, there is no doubt that he will continue to rock on for years to come.

Zendaya’s Farewell to Sandworms Marks the Arrival of Skorts

Zendaya portrays tennis player Tashi Duncan in the film “Challengers.” Her attire plays a major role in who she is; Jonathan Anderson, the character’s costume designer, dresses her in opulent, athletic clothing sponsored by Adidas.

In the teaser, one of Tashi’s suitors tells another, “She’ll have a fashion line.” “She’s going to make her family all multimillionaires.”

For the real Zendaya, fashion is a means of enhancing one’s image and generating revenue. She is now regarded as a key figure in the contemporary film press tour. Every appearance, whether a news conference in Seoul, a photo call in Mexico City, or a premiere in New York, can generate thousands of stories and social media posts. Coverage of these appearances can be frenzied.

When performers embrace theme clothing, the fever rises. The “Barbie” actors wore an overwhelming amount of pink, risqué outfits that seemed to come from old toy boxes. The “Madame Web” stars decked themselves out in gaudy net dresses. To promote her sensual thriller “Love Lies Bleeding,” Kristen Stewart dressed less.

However, hardly any can draw as much attention as Zendaya. Take her February London premiere of “Dune: Part Two,” where she donned a vintage Mugler robot outfit. (This press tour seems to have her futuristic desert warrior queen as its theme.) According to Women’s Wear Daily, the data analytics firm Launchmetrics estimated that Mugler’s media effect from this one moment was worth $13.3 million.

However, Zendaya hasn’t been wearing Adidas in the run-up to “Challengers,” the Luca Guadagnino movie that opens in late March, despite her dedication to cosplay. She is dressed in preppy ensembles created by Louis Vuitton, her actual sponsor, and a high-end company with a growing presence in the sports industry.

Zendaya appeared in a promotional photo on March 12 sporting a loose white pair of shorts, white shoes, and a buttery sweater with a deep V neckline. She looked like the most intimidating stepmom at the country club, right down to her long, blown-out bob. The image architect Law Roach, who serves as her stylist, gave credit for the ensemble to Bulgari and Louis Vuitton.

Then, on March 17, Zendaya went to Indian Wells, California, to watch the women’s final of the BNP Paribas Open. She wore tennis whites from Louis Vuitton once more: a pleated skort, a tank top, and a pullover. She accessorized with her boyfriend, actor Tom Holland, and white sneakers, a little monogram purse with an attached bright yellow coin purse that resembled a tennis ball. They took their seats and sang along to Whitney Houston.

Zendaya, who trained under renowned coach Brad Gilbert for “Challengers,” then posed for pictures with match winner and top-ranked women’s player Iga Swiatek.

After the harshness of her “Dune” chapter, she appeared more relaxed in her Sunday “tennis core.” She seemed unearthly for reasons other than only her cybernetic appearance. (That Givenchy skirt set from the old circuit board was worn after that Mugler fembot outfit.) She also had the gravitas of a sci-fi empress at a state supper thanks to her immaculate white gowns from Stéphane Rolland in New York and Alaïa in Paris.

She is now returning to Earth. or the tennis court, at any rate. “Meeting Zendaya was crazy, but on the other hand, she’s a human like all of us,” Ms. Swiatek said following her victory.

Dries Van Noten’s Retirement: A Farewell to Fashion’s Iconic Designer

Dries Van Noten shocked the fashion industry when he revealed he was leaving his position as creative director of the company that carries his name. His final men’s show will be in the fall of 2024 and will take place in Paris in June.

In a letter to journalists, Mr. Van Noten, 65, stated, “My dream was to have a voice in fashion.” “That wish was fulfilled. I want to focus on everything I never had time to do now.

Mr. Van Noten was one of the founding members of the Antwerp Six, a group of Belgian designers that came to Paris in the early 1980s and revolutionized the fashion industry. “I feel it’s time to leave room for a new generation of talents to bring their vision to the brand,” he said in his statement, adding that he had been “preparing for this moment for a while.”

Mr. Van Noten’s decision is noteworthy as a unique instance of a designer giving up control of their initiative while still at the pinnacle of their abilities, in a field where founders frequently hold onto their jobs far into their 80s and hardly consider succession planning. His final women’s presentation, which took place in Paris in late February, was heartfelt, giving an ode to dressing creatively and choosing style over fashion.

However, his approach to business has also been characterized by the thoughtfulness, inventiveness, grace, and attention to detail that characterized his clothing and served as the impetus for a 2014 solo exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris as well as a 2017 documentary about his work.

Since 2018, when he sold the bulk of his company to Puig, a fashion and fragrance company, Mr. Van Noten has been taking measures to secure the future of his 1986-founded brand. He has also committed to continue serving as the company’s chief creative officer and chairman of the board. For a designer who took great satisfaction in his independence, it was a significant move.

He questioned, “Do we have enough heritage?” “Is there a good enough reason for the business to continue after I leave?”

Through its cooperation with Puig, the firm was able to grow its workforce and enter new markets, such as scent and cosmetics. However, Mr. Van Noten can still become frustrated with the industry’s pace even after giving up some control over his company.

“You never can take six months off, or even two months off, after a career of all these years,” he remarked, saying that the longest vacation he had ever taken had been two weeks. “I believe that every designer’s dream is to be able to skip a season at some point.”

He and several designers co-wrote an open letter in 2020, arguing that the seasonal purchasing calendar needed to be fixed for firms to find a more sustainable production rhythm and prevent the vicious loop of deep discounts.

However, he was also aware that a designer may benefit psychologically from the unachievable speed of fashion. When a collection didn’t meet the expectations of reviewers or customers, there was no time to pout. He said to The Times, “You have to move on.” “You must set it aside. You must begin anew. And that is just great, in my opinion. It’s quite addicting, and I believe that’s what keeps me going too.

In his letter, Mr. Van Noten, who was named an Officier de L’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by France, the recipient of the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s International Designer of the Year Award, and a baron by the King of Belgium, stated that a new designer would be revealed in “due time.” He said he would still be part of the brand, but he did not say what his role would be.

He is an avid gardener; in fact, the vibrantly colored textiles and styles that became his trademark were inspired by the flowers at his home outside of Antwerp. He frequently goes on garden excursions with Ann Demeulemeester, another Antwerp Six member who withdrew from her line.

Whatever path he decides to take, one thing is for sure: Mr. Van Noten is changing the way departure can appear, just as he and his colleagues once changed the industry’s norms.

Unveiling the Future: Apple and Google in Talks to Introduce Generative AI to iPhones

Apple-in-talks-with-Google-for-using-Gemini-to-bring-generative-AI-features-to-iPhones

Apple is in conversations with Google about employing the search giant’s generative artificial intelligence model called Gemini for its next iPhone, as the corporation races to embrace a technology that has upended the tech sector.

According to three sources with knowledge of the conversations, the talks are preliminary and the precise parameters of a possible deal have not yet been established. Apple has also held negotiations with other A.I. companies, one of these people said, as it aims to tap into the potential of a huge language model capable of processing vast quantities of data and generating text on its own.

Apple CEO Tim Cook has assured investors that the business will launch new generative A.I. features this year. Google and Samsung, the company’s rivals in the smartphone market, have already included Gemini in their most recent models to trim films and condense audio recordings.

Both Google and Apple choose not to comment. Bloomberg previously covered their discussions.

One of the oldest collaborations in technology would be extended if Apple and Google struck cooperation on generative AI. Google has been instrumental in the success of the iPhone ever since Apple unveiled the gadget in 2007. Initially, it offered Google Maps for navigation. Later, it negotiated a lucrative partnership whereby Google pays Apple more than $18 billion annually to become the default search engine for the iPhone’s Safari browser.

Google’s talks to bring generative AI capabilities to the iPhone would be the most recent instance of the company stepping in to close a gap in Apple’s offerings. According to two people familiar with its development, Apple has been lagging in its efforts to create its big language model, the technology underlying chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini.

Apple has paid a price for holding off on delivering an AI product. This year, Microsoft overtook it as the most valuable public business in the world, breaking its ten-year reign. Microsoft has been actively pursuing artificial intelligence. The technology’s ability to upend industries and generate trillions of dollars in new revenue has been hailed.

Apple has the potential to be a major player in the A.I. space despite its delays. With over two billion devices in use, the firm is a desirable partner for Google and other companies. In the future, when artificial intelligence (AI) services are used to manage people’s calendars or health data, its reputation for safeguarding customers’ private information may prove advantageous.

An agreement might see the Gemini model available on iPhones all across the world, providing Google with access to a vast user base and further popularizing generative artificial intelligence. A deal with Apple is enticing as, almost suddenly, Google might surpass its main competitor, OpenAI, which creates ChatGPT, in the number of users utilizing its artificial intelligence.

After multiple failures in its AI goals, Apple’s decision to choose Google as a supplier would be a significant vote of confidence in the search engine giant. Bard, the company’s first artificial intelligence chatbot, had mixed reviews upon launch in March of last year and didn’t gain as much traction as ChatGPT.

Google unveiled Gemini, a brand-new chatbot, in February. Last month, users discovered that the chatbot’s image generator was producing racially inaccurate drawings of historical individuals and was frequently refusing to produce photos of white people, which prompted charges of bias. Google promised to address the issue and disabled the ability to take photos of people.

Analyst Toni Sacconaghi of Bernstein Research referred to the agreement between Apple and Google as a “win-win” in a note on Tuesday, citing the latter’s work on Gemini as validation and Apple receiving generative AI for iPhones. Additionally, he stated that Apple could benefit from artificial intelligence on iPhones without having to own an AI model; instead, it could accept a commission from Google, which charges $19.99 a month for its Gemini Advanced app.

Businesses haven’t yet profited from generative AI. Large language model operations on the cloud come at astronomical costs, and businesses and consumers are just now beginning to foot the bill for this cutting-edge technology. However, they believe that as artificial intelligence (AI) systems get more powerful and the cost of creating data centers decreases, profits will rise.

The recent agreement between Apple and Google may come under examination by US authorities. A case brought by the Justice Department against Google for violating competition law by paying Apple to be the iPhone’s default search engine and other services is nearing its conclusion. The non-jury trial is being presided over by Judge Amit P. Mehta of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, and a decision is anticipated this year.

In Mumbai, Ed Sheeran and Indian artist Diljit Dosanjh perform a surprise duet on stage

ed-sheeran--diljit-dosanjh-171127877-16x9_0

Ed Sheeran is expanding his repertoire of songs.

The British pop sensation, who is now on the Mathematics Tour, shocked the crowd on Saturday night in Mumbai, India, by bringing along a special visitor. Sheeran brought out Indian singer-songwriter Diljit Dosanjh for a duet of Dosanjh’s song “Lover” during his performance at the Mahalaxmi Race Course.

As he performed the throbbing electro-R&B song, Dosanjh swayed around the stage, while Sheeran sang in Punjabi while accompanying him on guitar.

Sheeran posted a video of the performance on Instagram along with the caption, “Had to bring out @diljitdosanjh tonight in Mumbai and sing in Punjabi for the first time.” “I’ve had an amazing time in India, and there’s more to come!

“Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” brings together both the original cast and fresh talent, marking four decades since the premiere of the iconic movie

In “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,” the performers from the original “Ghostbusters” film—Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, and Annie Potts—bravely faced out against not only a brand-new spectral menace but also their long-standing foe, those enormous proton packs.

“The damn packs, they’re so heavy,” Murray remarked. It was awful a long time ago to wear the pack. Wearing the pack right now is excruciating.”

Forty years after its first release, the legendary cast of the 1984 classic “Ghostbusters” has reunited with newcomers Paul Rudd and Mckenna Grace in a blend of the past and present.

The performers played scientists who launched a ghost-catching company in New York City in the original movie.

In addition to becoming one of the 1980s’ highest-grossing movies, the picture had a long-lasting effect on popular culture.

Murray remembered being given the first draft of the “Ghostbusters” script, which was about 27 pages long. He said that he read it at around 5:30 a.m. and decided right once to take part, stating, “Okay, I’m in.”

The group got back together on two films: “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” in 2021 and “Ghostbusters II,” the sequel, in 1989.

While shooting the film, Murray and the other members of the original crew—who are now in their seventies—joked about feeling their age.

We used to joke about how, after a take where we had to climb stairs or something, we would just look at each other and say, ‘This is it, right?'” Murray remarked.

In the latest film, Paul Rudd makes a reappearance as Gary Grooberson, a teacher who is aware of the legacy of the first “Ghostbusters.” Despite Rudd’s long career, which includes roles in films such as “Clueless” and “AntMan,” he expressed amazement at being among the original “Ghostbusters” cast.

“It’s amazing,” Rudd exclaimed. “I mean, even just sitting with them all right now. It isn’t real. Even though I’ve been getting to know them over the past few years, I still think highly of every single individual sitting on this couch.”

Grace portrays the granddaughter of Egon Spengler, carrying on the legacy of the late Harold Ramis in a “Ghostbusters” narrative. She reminisced about her early years of visiting the Sony lot for an audition and stopping to take a picture with the “Ghostbusters” vehicle.

“It’s funny talking about the movie and being a ‘Ghostbuster’ whenever I’m with you guys, because I’m like, am I saying the right thing?” said Grace. “Am I allowed to speak on behalf of a ‘Ghostbuster?'”

The Early Start and “Barbenheimer” Drive Oscar Ratings to a 4-Year High

The live event TV renaissance carries on.

According to Nielsen, the 96th Academy Awards presentation on ABC on Sunday attracted 19.5 million viewers, a four-year high. For the third year in a row, the number of people watching the Oscars live on TV increased from 18.8 million to this year’s audience of 20 million.

Thanks to the ratings report, ABC and the Academy will be celebrating as they moved the start of the legendary awards event to 7 p.m. Eastern, an hour earlier than normal, to draw in more people for the final categories.

Both that strategy and the multiple nominations for the popular movies “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” seemed to be successful; in previous years, the ceremony was dominated by more obscure films. In his fourth hosting appearance, Jimmy Kimmel garnered positive reviews as well, coming just one win short of tying Johnny Carson, another late-night celebrity who doubled as an Oscar presenter.

According to Nielsen, the Oscars on Sunday night were the highest-viewed network awards show since February 2020, continuing a recent trend of increased viewer interest in the kind of large-scale cultural events that were difficult to attend during the pandemic.

16.9 million viewers watched the Grammy Awards in February, a 34% increase over the previous year. The number of people watching the Golden Globes in January increased by 50% over the previous year. With 123.7 million viewers, the Kansas City Chiefs vs. San Francisco 49ers Super Bowl broke ratings records. Even the 2023 Tony Awards, which are usually the least watched of the “EGOT” quartet, had a slight increase in ratings.

Billie Eilish sang her pop ballad “What Am I Made For?” and Ryan Gosling gave a playful yet heartfelt rendition of “I’m Just Ken” during Sunday’s Oscars. The thrash-rock guitarist Slash had an appearance, and several supporting Kens from “Barbie,” notably Simu Liu, supplemented the choreography, which was inspired by Busby Berkeley films and the Marilyn Monroe musical “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.”

ABC, which will broadcast the Oscars through 2028, said that it had sold out of all of its commercial slots for the ceremony on Sunday.

Advertising professionals claimed that ABC had charged $1.7 million to $2.2 million for a 30-second spot, up marginally from the previous year, although the network did not disclose the costs. A few of the advertisements appeared during the show itself, such as one for Don Julio tequila in which Kimmel’s sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez gave the drink to famous people in the audience.

Just 10.4 million people watched the epidemic Oscars in 2021, which were staged in a train station in Los Angeles with little decorations. A portion of the spike in viewership to 16.6 million in 2022 came from the odd spectacle of Will Smith slapping Chris Rock.

Nevertheless, there’s no denying that people’s viewing habits have evolved. The Oscars telecast had never received fewer than 32 million viewers before to 2018.

Tracking Inflation: Understanding Last Month’s Upward Tick and Its Impact on Fed Policy

Overall, inflation increased little in February, and a highly watched gauge of underlying price hikes showed more growth than economists had predicted.

The latest data confirms that it will probably take some time for inflation to return to its typical pace fully. This supports the Federal Reserve’s determination to move cautiously as they decide when and how much to cut interest rates.

From a year earlier, the Consumer Price Index increased by 3.2 percent last month, from 3.1 percent in January. That is still faster than the around 2 percent typical before the pandemic, even though it is significantly lower than the 9.1 percent peak in 2022.

When unpredictable expenses like food and gasoline were subtracted to get a clearer picture of the overall trend, inflation came in at 3.8 percent, which was marginally higher than what economists had predicted. Additionally, core inflation increased every month marginally faster than expected due to increases in auto insurance and airfare, despite a highly monitored housing index rising less quickly.

The Fed’s caution about the inflation outlook will be highlighted, according to Kathy Bostjancic, chief economist at Nationwide Mutual. Inflation has decreased gradually and comparatively smoothly thus far. The unemployment rate is still below 4%, and despite the Fed hiking interest rates to a record high more than two decades ago, GDP in 2023 was surprisingly robust.

The length of time that Fed officials should keep interest rates at their current level, or roughly 5.3 percent, has been up for debate. High borrowing prices make it costly for individuals to take out loans to grow their businesses or buy homes, which can eventually harm the economy. To contain inflation, the Fed has been attempting to reduce demand, but authorities are cautious about stunting growth to the point where it causes a recession or a large loss of jobs.

Concerns have been raised by some economists that it may prove more difficult to contain inflation going forward than it has been to accomplish the current gains. Additionally, Fed policymakers do not want to cut interest rates too soon only to discover that inflation has not completely subsided. The Fed Chair Jerome H. Powell stated last week in testimony before Congress, “We don’t want to have a situation where it turns out that the six months of good inflation data we had last year didn’t turn out to be an accurate signal of where underlying inflation is.” In light of that, the Fed is exercising caution, he said.

However, Mr. Powell also stated last week that interest rates should be lowered when the Fed was certain that inflation had decreased sufficiently, “and we’re not far from it,” he continued.

After the most recent inflation report, Ms. Bostjancic stated, “Overall, the view that disinflation is in the economy — that is still intact.” However, it prevents them from being truly confident that they should begin reducing rates, so they remain in a wait-and-see mindset.

The Federal Reserve targets annual inflation of 2%. The Personal Consumption Expenditures measure, a different but comparable inflation index, is used to define that objective. Although it releases data more slowly, that index uses some of the Consumer Price Index data.

Whether price hikes will continue to gradually decline toward the central bank’s aim has been questioned by several analysts. If the inflation of services, such as housing and insurance, turns out to be more resilient than anticipated, it may be more challenging to eliminate price increases in general.

That’s where the report, which was made public on Tuesday, had some positive news. A meticulously monitored metric that accurately tracks the amount one would have to pay each month to rent a home they own increased somewhat. Since it began to increase in January, economists have been closely observing the “owners’ equivalent rent” indicator.

In contrast, the monthly rent increase for residential properties was marginally faster, at 0.5 percent, as opposed to 0.4 percent in January.

When it comes to the rent rise, Laura Rosner-Warburton, senior economist at MacroPolicy Perspectives, stated, “I’m not concerned at all about the rebound because it had fallen so much the prior month.” The rent and the owner’s rent-related policies, she claimed, were “telling a story of moderating shelter costs.”

Though there were a few outliers in February, goods have generally been deducted from inflation recently. For example, clothing costs have been rising last month after declining recently every month

When the Fed meets on March 19–20, it is generally anticipated that interest rates will remain steady. After the meeting, they will present a fresh set of economic forecasts that will indicate the extent to which they anticipate lowering interest rates in 2024. Officials had anticipated cutting interest rates three times this year as of their most recent projections, which were released in December.

Investors believe that contrary to what they had predicted earlier in the year, the Fed may start cutting interest rates in June.

The study has not changed our belief that there is significant disinflationary pressure that has to be addressed,” Capital Economics researchers stated in a note. They continue to believe that in June, “by which time there will be more evidence,” of an additional slowdown by the Fed.

After making a stunning comeback, Bitcoin reaches a record-high

The volatile cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, made a stunning recovery after its value crashed in 2022 due to a financial catastrophe. On Tuesday, it reached a new high of about $69,000.

Few people anticipated the comeback of Bitcoin, which saw its price fall below $20,000 in November 2022. Since then, the price has increased by over 300 percent. Before the cryptocurrency markets took off and novice investors began to pour money into experimental digital coins, the record was just under $68,790 in November 2021.

Cory Klippsten, the CEO of Swan, a financial services company that specializes in Bitcoin, said that the cryptocurrency had been “pronounced dead for the 150th time.” As long as people take the time to truly learn about it, Bitcoin will continue to do what it does best: win people over.

Investor excitement for a new financial product linked to the digital coin has been the driving force behind Bitcoin’s recent ascent. Exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, that track the price of Bitcoin were made available by a consortium of traditional financial organizations and cryptocurrency companies in January, thanks to approval from US regulators. Without actually holding virtual currency, the funds offer a straightforward means for investors to participate in the cryptocurrency markets.

According to Bloomberg Intelligence, as of last week, investors had spent more than $7 billion on the financial instruments, fueling Bitcoin’s explosive ascent.

This year, the price of Ether, which is currently valued at over $3,800, has increased by over 50%, making it the second most valuable digital currency behind Bitcoin. Excitement over the possibility that regulators would also allow an E.T.F. connected to Ether has contributed to its rise.

Cryptocurrencies, meanwhile, are still erratic. After breaking the milestone, the price of Bitcoin fell to roughly $67,500 in a matter of minutes.

And despite all the excitement, the cryptocurrency sector is still dealing with the fallout from the 2022 crash legally. At the end of this month, Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced founder of the defunct cryptocurrency exchange FTX, is scheduled to get a prison sentence. The Securities and Exchange Commission, claiming that the companies offer unregistered securities, has sued several well-known cryptocurrency companies, including the American exchange Coinbase.

Some of those lawsuits have been brought before courts, and the result may decide whether or not cryptocurrency businesses are allowed to operate in the US. There are still many doubters who don’t think digital currencies have many practical applications.

John Reed Stark, a prominent opponent of the cryptocurrency business and former SEC officer, stated that there is “no inherent value.” “There isn’t any evidence of adoption or dependability.”

Bitcoin was created under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto by an enigmatic developer in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. The original idea behind the digital coin was to provide a decentralized financial system that would allow users to exchange money without going through banks or other middlemen.

However, as Bitcoin’s value rose, it started to be used for financial speculating. The value of the money quickly increased before plummeting, creating new billionaires one day and wiping out their savings the next.

Early in the pandemic, a spike in day trading by novice investors contributed to the rise in popularity of cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin’s price shot up as a result of the industry’s self-promotion through eye-catching magazine spreads and Super Bowl advertising.

The bubble popped after a year. The collapse of Mr. Bankman-Fried’s exchange, FTX, in November 2022 marked the culmination of a string of corporate collapses. Billionaires were lost by investors when the price of Bitcoin crashed to about $16,000.

When a federal appeals court opened the door for businesses to provide exchange-traded funds (ETFs) linked to Bitcoin in August, the industry’s fortunes began to turn around. In essence, an ETF is a collection of assets divided into shares. Rather than directly owning the assets, investors purchase shares in the basket.

In the context of cryptocurrencies, this implies that investors can learn about Bitcoin without having to become an experts on the workings of a digital currency wallet or give big sums of money to shady businesses with a murky past. Investment products for Bitcoin are being offered by financial behemoths like Fidelity and BlackRock, which bring some security to an otherwise unstable sector.

Crypto supporters had long anticipated that the industry would get billions of dollars in new investment following the establishment of Bitcoin ETFs.

According to preliminary data, the impact has been substantial. The licensing of the investment vehicles, together with other factors, has caused a recent increase in the price of Bitcoin.

According to John Todaro, an analyst at Needham who follows the cryptocurrency space, “It looks like crypto and Bitcoin will never come back during every period when you’re in despair.” “However, it keeps happening as we have repeatedly observed.”

The quantity of fresh Bitcoin that is put into circulation later this year will drop due to an occasion referred to as “the halving.” The event—which was built into the fundamental code of Bitcoin—will cut in half the quantity of Bitcoin that users get as compensation for using software to verify cryptocurrency transactions, or “mining.”

The prospect of scarcer Bitcoin supply has helped drive up its price this year, some analysts have argued. And with the halving expected to take place in the spring, Bitcoin advocates are predicting that prices will continue to surge.

“This is just the beginning of this bull market,” said Nathan McCauley, the chief executive of the crypto company Anchorage Digital, as prices were skyrocketing this month. “The best is yet to come.”

Taylor Swift’s father allegedly punched photographer in face after Australian leg of her Eras Tour ended

scott-swift-77a4ace9e17947a396fe59f9c85b619f

Shortly after Taylor Swift’s Australian tour concluded on Tuesday, a photographer reported to the police that he was struck in the face by her father when they were walking along the waterfront in Sydney.

Ben McDonald reported that he gave police a statement in which he claimed that he was assaulted by Scott Swift at the Neutral Bay Wharf, where the father and daughter had just landed off a yacht.

Despite not being gravely hurt, the seasoned paparazzo said he chose to report the attack to the authorities. It was merely a chopsticks punch. While it’s a little sore, there are no bruises, and no medical attention was needed,” McDonald remarked.

“I haven’t been hit and kicked in the ribs in 23 years, especially not by the talent’s father,” he continued.

Representatives for Taylor Swift accused the media of being hostile during the exchange.

The representative said in an email that “two people were aggressively pushing their way towards Taylor, grabbing at her security personnel, and threatening to throw a female staff member into the water.”

The media office of the New South Wale Police Force verified that the police were looking into the claim that at 2:30 a.m., a 71-year-old man had assaulted a 51-year-old male. As per their procedure for such complaints, the police did not disclose identities.

Following seven Australian stadium concerts that drew over 600,000 spectators for the Australian leg of her Eras Tour, Taylor Swift departed the nation on a private flight on Tuesday.

McDonald added that as the celebrity and her entourage made their way from a dock to two waiting automobiles, photographers were waiting to take pictures of her.

McDonald told The Associated Press, “There were about four or five security guards there, and at one point, one of the American security guards started shoving his umbrella into me and my camera, and then Taylor got in her car.”

Another person charged at me and struck my left side of the face with a punch. “At first, I believed it was an Australian security officer attempting to steal the show in front of the Americans, but it turned out to be her father,” McDonald continued.

Looking through old pictures from the evening, McDonald claimed to have noticed a picture of him holding Swift’s hand and recognized then that his supposed attacker was not a member of the security detail. Later, McDonald recognized Scott Swift from a photo on the internet.

McDonald stated that there was no reason for aggression.

We took our time walking down the jetty. We took our time making our way to the back of the boat. We bided our time until she emerged. remained rather polite,” he remarked.

“However, they had to be (expletives) and raise the umbrellas and cover her, then thrust the umbrellas in our faces while pretending that we are the ones interacting with them,” he continued.

Despite not being gravely hurt, the seasoned paparazzo said he chose to report the attack to the authorities.

It was merely a chopsticks punch. While it’s a little sore, there are no bruises, and no medical attention was needed,” McDonald remarked.

I haven’t been hit and kicked in the ribs in 23 years, especially not by the talent’s father he continued.

Ozzy Osbourne cancels 2023 tour dates, says spinal injury means his 'touring days have ended'

Singer Ozzy Osbourne performs at halftime during the NFL game between the Buffalo Bills and the Los Angeles Rams on Sept. 8, 2022, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif.

Heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne announced the cancellation of his 2023 tour dates in the U.K. and continental Europe.

Osbourne issued a statement early Wednesday saying damage to his spine suffered in an accident four years ago will prevent him from touring.

“I am honestly humbled by the way you’ve all patiently held onto your tickets for all this time, but in all good conscience, I have now come to the realization that I’m not physically capable of doing my upcoming European/UK tour dates, as I know I couldn’t deal with the travel required,” Osbourne said.

The 74-year-old Grammy winner and former vocalist for the metal band Black Sabbath said “my singing voice is fine” but said he remained physically weak following three operations, stem cell treatments, physical therapy and Hybrid Assistive Limb treatment, which uses a robotic exoskeleton to help improve movement and balance.

He thanked his family, fans, band and crew members and fellow metal pioneers Judas Priest.

“Never would I have imagined that my touring days would have ended this way,” Osbourne said. “My team is currently coming up with ideas for where I will be able to perform without having to travel from city to city and country to country.”

Ticket refunds will be available at the point of purchase, the statement said.

Osbourne previously canceled tour dates in Europe and North America in 2019 due to health problems, including a “bad fall” in which he said he injured vertebrae in his neck.

The singer, who enjoyed solo success after leaving Black Sabbath, announced in 2020 that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, a nervous system disorder that affects movement.

Osbourne and the other three members of Black Sabbath were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. Osbourne and his family, including his wife, Sharon, and two of his three children were the stars of their own reality show called “The Osbournes.”

Judas Priest share statement with UK fans following Ozzy Osbourne tour cancellation

They're 'looking at opportunities'

Judas Priest have written a short statement to their fans in the UK and Ireland after Ozzy Osbourne announced his retirement and cancelled all his tour dates yesterday (2nd February).

When Ozzy Osbourne announced his No More Tours 2 tour way back in September 2018, Judas Priest were unveiled as the very special guests at all UK & Ireland shows.

Due to Ozzy’s series of health setbacks, the tour was postponed four times before it was eventually cancelled for good on Wednesday. Ozzy told fans that despite his best efforts, his body is too “physically weak” to tour.

Over the past four years, Judas Priest have performed one festival slot at Bloodstock Open Air in 2021, however they haven’t played any of their own live dates in the UK and Ireland.

Judas Priest have now issued a statement today, which reads: “Ozzy. We send all our love and support for Ozzy and thank our fans in the UK and Ireland especially for your loyalty by standing with us.....

“Right now we’re looking at feasible opportunities to see each other again soon and will post updates accordingly.

“Love Judas Priest”

Aside from two appearances at Bloodstock, Judas Priest haven’t toured the UK since their Redeemer of Souls Tour way back in November 2015.

Rob Halford recently revealed that Judas Priest’s new album will be released in 2024.

In an interview with NME last week, Pete Waterman said that Stock Aitken Waterman’s surprise collaboration with Judas Priest in the late 1980s would have been the production trio’s ‘biggest-ever record’ had it been released.

Back in 1988, Judas Priest recorded a cover of The Stylistics’ ‘You Are Everything’ with the trio together with the original Stock Aitken Waterman tracks ‘I Will Return’ and ‘Runaround’.

Despite getting on famously in the studio, Judas Priest decided to shelve the recordings and they have never officially been released.
