CHICKENFOOT DEBUT NEW SONG “DIVINE TERMINATION” LIVE, FAN FILMED FOOTAGE POSTED ONLINE

Chicken premiered a brand new song, “Divine Termination“, on May 7th at the first of the band’s two shows at Harrah’s Lake Tahoe, reports blabbermouth.net. The concerts marked the band’s first reunion shows in more than six years.

Chicken foot has not made a CD in five years but recently returned to the studio to record Divine Termination, to be released later in the year.

“I wrote the lyrics while on an airplane to Cabo,” Hagar told Rolling Stone about the song. “It’s a dark tune, but it’s f–king cool. It’s a really raw production and a giant step for the ‘foot.”

The group, which includes guitarist Joe Satriani, former Van Halen singer Sammy Hagar, ex-Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, last performed together during a surprise three-song encore at Hagar’s 2014 birthday bash in Las Vegas. The concerts on May 7th and May 8th in Tahoe were the first time in over six years that the band reunited for an entire concert.

IMAGES OF OZZY OSBOURNE’S ALLEGED MISTRESS SURFACE ONLINE

As previously reported, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne have separated after 33 years of marriage after suspicion of martial infidelity on Ozzy’s part.

Could the woman at the center of this controversy be hairstylist Michelle Pugh, 45? According to the Daily Mail, and other publications, she is the woman at the center of the controversy.

Sharon allegedly kicked Ozzy out of their $10 million Beverly Hills home last week after claiming she had proof he had been having an affair with Pugh.

A source told the Daily Mail, “Sharon went ballistic with Ozzy and accused him of having the affair. She said she had suspected something had been going on for some time and now had proof. Ozzy was extremely sheepish and admitted being close to Michelle. It is likely Sharon has discovered calls and possibly meetings.’

Images have surfaced of the pretty blonde stylist (see below), who is rumored to have enjoyed an affair with the legendary rocker.

In March, Sharon, 63, shocked her fellow The Talk panelists when she revealed that Ozzy, 67, slept with two of the nannies hired to look after their children.

She said, “We used to have four nannies, because I had three children – I would work five days a week – I would travel because you can’t work a nanny seven days a week. I’m telling you, they were the bane of my existence. They were all wanting to be celebrities. They were all wanting money. Then, out of nowhere, dropped: ‘I caught two of them in bed with Ozzy! At different times. It goes on and on.”

When one of her cast members suggested maybe she should be angry at her 67-year-old rocker husband, Sharon excused his behavior as Ozzy was not sober at the time. She said of when she busted him, “He’s out of his mind and he’s calling them his first wife, he’s calling them me.”

According to the Mirror, A spokesman at Meche, the hair salon where Michelle works, says she has taken some time off for what they described as a “personal emergency.”

OZZY AND SHARON OSBOURNE ALLEGEDLY SPLIT AFTER 33 YEARS OF MARRIAGE, “HE’LL BE BACK” CLAIMS A SOURCE

Metal icon Ozzy Osbourne and his manager wife, Sharon, have reportedly separated after 33 years of marriage, reports E! news.

A source tells E! News that the couple mutually agreed that Ozzy would move out of the house temporarily. In addition, the split has nothing to do with the singer’s sobriety. Our insider shared that the rocker has been sober for three and a quarter years and has not touched drugs or alcohol in that time.

A source tells People that it’s true that the couple have split for now, that they would not be surprised if they worked through their breakup. The source also noted that Sharon believes that Ozzy is having an affair.

A source close to the couple also tells People that the rumors of the split are “sort of true.”

He’ll be back,” the source added.

Ozzy and Sharon met in the early ’70s when he rose to fame with the band Black Sabbath. The two wed on July 4th, 1982 and had three children—Aimee Osbourne, 32, Kelly Osbourne, 31, and Jack Osbourne, 30. The family, minus Aimee, starred on the hit MTV reality show The Osbournes between 2002 and 2005.
