Bearooth frontman Caleb Shomo has opened up regarding his sexuality, writing in an Instagram post Saturday, "I am proudly a gay man."

"There's been a lot of speculation surround my personal life as of late and I feel compelled to set the record straight before it affects those I love any further," the post reads.

"This is something I've been unpacking and reckoning with in my life for quite some time now," Shomo continues. "It's been difficult to navigate the feelings surrounding the subject and figure out what to do with this fact."

Shomo notes that with Beartooth's music, he's "always strived to chase who I am in the deepest part of my soul from album to album," resulting in four "very self deprecating albums about exploring my religious upbringing, depression, self hatred, self loathing and hopelessness."

"I am grateful for all these albums, yet feel embarrassed at times that I wouldn't allow myself to really dig up the roots for so long," he writes. "I spent a decade burying feelings with alcohol, and honestly when I decided to put it down and focus on exploring why I felt this way for so long, it's been a direct path to me reconciling with my sexuality in hopes that it will eventually lead to me experiencing self love."

With Beartooth's upcoming album, Pure Ecstasy, Shomo says he decided that "whatever happens, I will express myself whole heartedly and fully."

"I believe it's impossible to love every part of you when you won't face every part of you head on," he writes. "I am trying to finally be proud of who I am and I think this is a massive part of that journey."

Pure Ecstasy is due out Aug. 28.

Ozzy Osbourne may have left this mortal coil, but his family is hoping to keep his presence alive in the digital world.

The late Black Sabbath frontman's wife, Sharon Osbourne, and son Jack Osbourne spoke about working on creating an interactive "Digital Ozzy" during a talk at the 2026 Licensing Expo in Las Vegas.

The avatar, which will be created in collaboration with the company Hyperreal, will represent "the digital DNA of Ozzy Osbourne, voice, image [and] movement," Jack said.

"It's kind of scary how it's really very accurate," Jack said. "He will exist digitally as himself for as long as we have computers. Technology has come such a long way to where it's almost drag and drop. You could shoot a template for a commercial ... literally prompt what you want Digital Ozzy to do in that commercial and you just drop it in. It's that simple now."

"You can ask Ozzy anything, and he will answer you in his own voice – and the answers will be what Ozzy would have said," Sharon adds. "We're going to take it all around the world. People can talk to him and he will talk back."

Ozzy died in July 2025 at age 76, just over two weeks after performing for the final time at the Back to the Beginning concert.
