Wife Of Beartooth’s Caleb Shomo Comments On Him Coming Out As “Proudly Gay”: “Our Story Was A Good One. And Now It’s Done”
Fleur Shomo, who has been married to Beartooth’s Caleb Shomo for nearly 14 years, has commented on him coming out as “a proudly gay man.” She voiced support for the frontman, while also opening up about this “disorientating and hurtful time” in her life.
Fleur said the following:
“Not really sure how to start this cause does anything even need to be said? But I guess I’ll just dive right in.
The past few months have been a very disorientating and hurtful time to navigate. For both of us. But I will always want to love, protect and support Caleb. I have cared more about his well being over the years than anything else in the world.
To see the confusion and pain he went through and the highs and lows and wanting to help but not knowing how. You never want anything more for your person than for them to just be ok. You also ask yourself constantly if you’re a bad person for wondering wtf this means for your world & the anger you also feel. I am the only person that is having to deal with the duality of this situation. To support him whilst losing everything has been incredibly hard to figure out. You can love and support your person through the hardest time in their life, whilst also be completely demolished & lose yourself at the same time.
You question everything. But I have learned the one thing I don’t need to question is our history. No matter what anyone will say, I know it.
I have always wanted nothing more than for Caleb to be happy. Trying to help him go through this without having any idea what to do, has been a learning curve we never expected to experience together. The isolation of not being able to talk to people about this has been profound, as it has not been my story to share. My mental health has suffered & I have had moments where I have not felt or acted like myself. For those that have known & been there, thank you. I’ll never be able to repay your kindness.
Our nearly 14yrs of marriage was wonderful and full of so much fun, adventure & love. Nobody will know anything about our marriage like we do. And no one can ever truly know what depths of love exist between two people unless they are those people. I already miss it & my husband more than anything. Our story was a good one. And now it’s done.
I hope anyone in the world going through this finds hope & courage & I hope the fans can continue to support Caleb.
For now I’m going to keep focusing on what I can control & continue living my life trying to achieve what I want to achieve. And if I keep saying hi to as many dogs as possible along the way, then I’m sure things will slowly get better, day by day, piece by small piece, bird by bird.”

Spineshank’s Jason Hager Steps Away From “Nu Metal Sucks Tour” Due To “Mental And Physical Health Issues”
Spineshank guitarist Jason Hager will be missing the remaining dates on the “Nu Metal Sucks Tour.” He says he needed to step away from the trek to address “some mental and physical health issues.”
Hager issued the following statement:
“I’m sorry to say, that due to personal reasons, after our show tonight, at The Mercury, I will not be able to finish the rest of the Nu Metal Sucks Tour. I’m currently struggling with some mental, and physical health issues that I need to get under control. Otherwise I’m no good to the band, my family, myself, or all the fans. I love Spineshank, and every band member, and crew member are my family, and I need to be 100% every night for them, and most importantly the fans. So I need to take this time to get myself to that point.
Thank you to everyone who made the shows amazing up to this point! and I’m deeply sorry to the fans coming out to the rest of the shows that I won’t be there. Tommy Jr. is a beast, and is more than capable of holding it down. I guarantee the rest of the shows will be amazing.
Thank you all for understanding. You have not seen the last of me yet.
Forever grateful

Jack Osbourne On Ozzy’s A.I. Avatar: “It’s Something That I Think My Dad Would Be Into”
As previously reported, the family of the late Ozzy Osbourne recently licensed his likeness for a new A.I. avatar created by HYPERREAL. The digitized singer will be displayed via Proto Luma “holoportation” devices in the U.K. and U.S. However, the idea has been met with backlash from fans. As such, Ozzy’s son Jack has pushed back against the controversy.
Jack said the following:
“Here’s the thing: it’s gonna be so tasteful what we’re doing. It’s not gonna be fucking lame… And it’s really complex what we’re doing. This isn’t just like hooking up an image of my dad to ChatGPT. This is going to be… Yeah. This is some high-level technology that we’re gonna be working with, and it’s gonna feel very real, and it’s kind of wild how it will be utilized. But it’s awesome. It’s really cool, and it’s something that I think my dad would be into. ‘Cause we actually talked about it before he passed, about doing something like this. So, yeah. I know he would be into this.”
This news follows previous comments he made:
“It’s kind of scary how it’s really very accurate. 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.”
