Sharon Osbourne confirmed that a statue of her late husband and very longtime HardRadio friend OZZY OSBOURNE will be unveiled at Hellfest 2026, taking place from June 18 - June 21, 2026 in Clisson, France. Sharing the first image of the statue during the interview, Sharon said, "Oh, there he is. Look at him, a rock god. That is going to debut at Hellfest, and that is June 18th. And the whole family will be there to see it. And it's such a great tribute. It's amazing. So, I can only thank [Hellfest director] Ben [Barbaud]. Just bless you. It's an amazing piece of art."

Former Skid Row frontman and longtime HardRadio friend SEBASTIAN BACH has joined Twisted Sister following the "sudden and unexpected resignation of Twisted Sister's lead singer Dee Snider, brought on by a series of health challenges." "I am a fan," Bach explaines "They had the tour booked and (Snider's) doctors told him he couldn't do it. They had a choice to either try to get another singer or cancel the whole tour. I just look at it in the same way as when Brian Johnson couldn't do the AC/DC shows (in 2016) and Axl Rose stepped in, or when Queen wanted to tour and Paul Rodgers came in."

The first solo single from longtime HardRadio friend GLENN DANZIG - "Who Killed Marilyn?" has sold for $10,000 on Discogs - making it the highest selling item for the month of February. The 1981 single was released on his Plan 9 label and the 7" vinyl contained "Spook City U.S.A." on the B-side. The 1983 pressing of the single on purple/black vinyl had only 25 copies made and fetched the $10,000 price tag.
