Jazz flutist Herbie Mann , who had been battling inoperable prostate cancer since 1997, died late Tuesday (7/1) at his home near Santa Fe, NM. He was 73.

Mann, a Brooklyn native who was born Herbert Jay Solomon, helped to popularize the flute as a jazz instrument in the 1950s. He also dabbled in popular music, and two of his singles--1975's Hijack" and 1979's "Superman"--charted on Billboard's Top 40.

Jack Osbourne, the 17-year old son of Ozzy, recently returned home after undergoing two months of treatment for drug and alcohol abuse, MTV News reports. In an interview that airs on MTV at 11 p.m. on Tuesday (7/8), Osbourne said he was addicted to the painkiller OxyContin.

"I took myself out of the picture for a second and I looked around at every single person in the room, at who they were, how old they were and what they had going on in their lives," he told MTV's Gideon Yago, explaining his decision to enter rehab. "A lot of them were near 30, unemployed, living off their parents. There were heroin addicts, there were the world's biggest couch potatoes. And it was like, 'I don't want to be like that. I don't want my life to be controlled by a drug.'"
