Ozzy Osbourne died at 76. The Black Sabbath frontman and heavy metal legend was “with his family and surrounded by love,” according to a statement from the Osbourne family. No cause of death was mentioned, though Osbourne had been dealing with a range of health issues, including Parkinson’s disease. Osbourne died just weeks after he reunited with his original Black Sabbath bandmates for a farewell concert in England. Following his career as a rocker, Osbourne became a reality TV star in the 2000s with the MTV series The Osbournes, which chronicled his chaotic life alongside his wife, Sharon, and their children Jack and Kelly. Nicknamed the “Prince of Darkness,” Osbourne was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice—once as a member of Black Sabbath, and again as a solo artist.
Johnson shut down the House early to avoid an Epstein vote. The US House of Representatives will start its summer break early today after Speaker Mike Johnson cut this week’s business short to prevent a vote to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Johnson, a Republican, accused Democrats of playing “political games” by trying to vote to force the DOJ to release information related to Epstein. Some GOP lawmakers have joined Democrats in seeking to make the information public, which President Trump campaigned on doing but has since disregarded. Trump is now suing the Wall Street Journal after the paper published a story about the president’s links to Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. The House will now be in recess until September.
GM’s profit hit adds to tariff woes for US automakers. A day after Stellantis reported a surprise $2.7 billion loss for the first half of the year in part due to tariffs on car parts, GM revealed that tariffs are hurting its bottom line, too. The owner of Chevrolet and Cadillac said its Q2 profit sank by 35% after tariffs cost the company $1.1 billion. It also warned that the impact from tariffs will be even bigger next quarter, as the White House’s 25% tax on imported autos sets in. Still, GM maintained its full-year forecast on the strength of international sales. Tesla reports its latest earnings today after the bell.—AE
