Farmer eaten by pigs

-

The Prince of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne is unwell, says his wife, Sharon. The co-host of The Talk shared news of his hospitalis­ation on Twitter with her more than two million followers. ‘‘As some of you may have heard, Ozzy was admitted to hospital following some complicati­ons from the flu,’’ Sharon tweeted. ‘‘His doctors feel this is the best way to get him on a quicker road to recovery.’’ Last week the official Facebook page for Osbourne, 70, announced that a doctor advised he postpone the UK and European dates of his No More Tours 2 tour. It included a statement from the Black Sabbath frontman who shared he was ‘‘completely devastated’’ over postponing. An infection in his hand forced Osbourne to cancel US tour dates in October. A 56-year-old Russian woman has been eaten by pigs after collapsing in their pen, according to media reports. The woman had gone to feed the animals in a village in Udmurtia, in central Russia. She had reportedly fainted or suffered an epileptic seizure. Her husband later found the body. She reportedly died of blood loss. Their farm is in a village in the Malopurgin­sky district of Udmurtia, east of the city of Kazan. Local media say the husband had gone to bed early the day before as he was not feeling well. After waking to find his wife missing, he found her body in the pen.
