Blind Item #7

Speaking of cancer, this rock and roll icon who doesn't sing or write or play an instrument, but is the subject of numerous songs and controls a musical empire is battling terminal cancer. She is amazing and I hope she somehow pulls through.

Sharon Osborne?

Tricia13 said...

Pattie Boyd/AKA Layla?

Tricia13 said...

Or Pamela does Barres(wrote books though, not music)

Sign Name Below said...

I am bad at guessing. Yoko?

Miss Tia said...

I thought Pattie Boyd too but I don't think she controls a musical empire. Probably Sharon Osborne's cancer has returned?

Tricia13 said...

I like that guess...

Poppies115 said...

Pattie Boyd wrote a book and she doesn’t control an empire so it’s not her.

Miss Tia said...

"subject of numerous songs", that could be Yoko...what songs are about Sharon Osborne?

Sara, Making It Work said...

Ah, good guess. She doesn't sing, but she "sings".

joshg g said...

Yolo owns Lennons solo songs and whatnot

AvignonVagabond said...

Yoko sings

Do Tell said...

Patti Boyd (Something, Layla, Wonderful Tonight)

Unknown said...

Mama I'm coming home is one just off the top of my head.
I'm sure there's others.

joshg g said...

Yoko, damn fat fungers

Brayson87 said...

Who controls a musical empire? Someone's widow?

Miss Tia said...

Yoko doesn't "sing", I think her "music" violates the Geneva Convention.

Sara, Making It Work said...

I like the Yoko guess but she does write and perform. It does sound like a widow.

Maybe Olivia Harrison?

Bobious said...

Yoko doesn't sing, she creates soundscapes through artistic interpretation.

Do Tell said...

yikes, yeah, probably Yoko.

totaji said...

She has sung and written a ton of music.

Miss Tia said...

Leaning towards Sharon Osborne, though I wonder if they would have mentioned a previous cancer bout? Or that might have been too obvious.

HippieChick said...

Tawny Kitaen?

Brayson87 said...

Playing "Guess The Cancer" is sad.

Unknown said...

Pretty sure Sharon is in control of everything Ozzy.

Sara, Making It Work said...

Goota be Olivia.
She very much control's George's legacy. They were together since 1974 so he wrote many songs about her.

pwal said...

Does Priscilla Presley run Elvis's estate?

PotPourri said...

I hope it's not Olivia, I really do. Sharon Osborne, would the world be less colorful than if she died? Probably, I love her spirit. Yoko does everything musical including sing, but she has not sung in many years, I don't think. So help me, if this is Patty Boyd...

Truthseeker said...

+1 Sara I agree on the Olivia Harrison. Sharon really does not fit.

Sd Auntie said...

Sharon has been MIA since November. That's too bad. Poor Ozzy

Do Tell said...

The Osbournes have been doing a podcast every week. It's pretty funny. Sharon sounds fine.

MeliticusBee said...

Sharon is on the Talk, nearly every fucking day.
Def not MIA.
SHARON CONTROLS ALL THING OZZY, BUT.
Sorry about caps lock shouting but it’s really hard to post on this site and I don’t wanna redo.

Momma Leoni said...

Roseanna Arquette. Was the inspiration for Toto and Peter Gabriel

Sara, Making It Work said...

Or possibly Iman, god forbid.

I'd say Katherine Jackson but I don't think any songs were written for her, and boy I hope not because that would leave Joseph in charge.

IanPhlegming said...

Definitely not Yoko! She sings! She writes! She recently did a live cover of Katy Perry's "Fireworks" that stands among her most distinctive performances.

joshg g said...

I wonder when we'll see lawsuits from Harrison's illegitimate Bangladeshi children?

orangesoda said...

+1 Brayson. Trying to guess this one makes me kind of sad tbh.

Ouiser B. said...

Not Yoko, she had a band and they put out several albums.

gfbcpa said...

Pamela Des Barres is a breast cancer survivor. I hope she has not had a recurrence.

just sayin' said...

Pattie Boyd.

Ok meticulous bee. I thought Sharon was on leave. I don't watch the show because I am at work. I'll have yo check it out since I'm off this week.

Kno Won said...

Yoko sings

Kno Won said...

Agreed.

T. W. said...

Priscilla Presley maybe. Can't be Lisa Marie. If this is Sharon Osborne she must have recently found out. I hope this person pulls through.

Erkmadurk said...

😂 💯 @Miss Tia

hothotheat said...

Des Barres was in a girl group produced by Frank Zappa - GTO's.

laganja estranja said...

pattie boyd was my first thought too but she doesn't control any empires and idk i just can't see enty describing her as "awesome". not that there's anything wrong with her, just that like, idk, i read her memoir and the most interesting parts in it were about george. i think this is sharon. i hope she's ok too. i always liked her

Jack_H said...

Sharon Osbourne.

My Sharon-a for the song.

just sayin' said...

This icon doesn't sing or write, but Sharon has numerous credits for both.

Unknown said...

It can't be Yoko. Blind says this person is amazing!

laganja estranja said...

@just sayin, sharon has singing credits? i never knew that! from when?

just sayin' said...

I don't think anyone's mentioned Patti D'Arbanville yet...she's not right for this blind, but Cat Stevens wrote "Wild World" and "Lady D'Arvanville" about her.

Eupheme said...

@Brayson - I know, right? I don't even want to guess.

just sayin' said...

Could having a huge catalogue of photos of rock stars be in control of "a musical empire"? Pattie Boyd was a photographer back in the day and her pieces sell for good money. No, I don't think so either.

Muckduck said...

Yoko screams I mean sings and writes music so it's not her...plus she is like 80 or 82 so if cancer doesn't get her something else will.

Muckduck said...

Oh that's a good guess.

T. W. said...

The April 16 editiin of Globe claims Hillary Clinton has brain cancer & is planning her own funeral (pg. 45). Reminds me of the blind item about people being assassinated via injection of cancer cells or cancer causing agents. I think that blind was from last year.

JrJ said...

Not Pamela Des Barres.

Katty said...

Cynthia Plastercaster?

Sekrit said...

@Katty Plaster Caster! She's definitely part of rock n roll history and has songs about her, but I don't think she controls a musical empire

I gotta go Sharon. Between Ozzy/BS catalogue, some songs about her, Ozzfest, the tv shows, she's definitely an icon. I hope her cancer hasn't returned or worsened.

Hell, in a perfect world this wouldn't be anyone. Cancer is just awful.

Court b said...

Yes

Court b said...

I thought of her too, but I don't think it's her

lutefisk said...

George wrote quite a few ballads for Olivia. She fits everything but the icon part.

Sunny CA said...

😭😂

Alana said...

Sharon had a previous bout with cancer but she seems so vital.

Katty said...

@Sekrit yeah,Cynthia has her collection of rock (cock?) memorabilia which might be worth quite a bit of dollar, but not enough to be classed as an empire. I'm not sure if she even owns them now?

Xanadu said...

I doubt it's Sharon, because she's far from amazing....

If by "amazing" you mean: cheating working musicians out of song writing/music composing credits for hit songs (like Bark at the Moon) and remastering classic tracks with new studio musicians - so the original players stop receiving royalties.

I'm amazed at the way America seems to see her as a gentle English grandma type, when she's so ruthless.

Court b said...

Erin everly?
