Ozzy Osbourne is no more. It hardly seems possible. He was one of those iconic rock characters who appeared indestructible. He was the self-styled Prince of Darkness, the original heavy metal horrormeister, the hard-drinking, drug-snorting, bat-biting manic clown who practically invented the iconography of music’s darkest genre with his predilection for capes, crosses and tattoos. In his prime, he was rock’s most lunatic frontman, whose unpredictable behaviour brought a lunatic edge to the sinister sonic aggression of his band Black Sabbath.
In later years, when over-indulgence had taken a toll on his health and old age and infirmity restricted his scope for nonsense, he rose again with a comic charm that emphasised the humour that has always lurked beneath metal’s posturing Guignol. And somehow, in the process, one of rock’s most notorious monsters became a beloved household family favourite. He was absolutely one of a kind: unafraid to be ridiculous, inherently funny, and absolutely in love with music.
As a kid there was a rumor he would bite off bat heads on stage and drink its blood.
Don't know if that was true or not, but that's all I knew about bro besides his obnoxious wife rambling with her annoying voice on TV every now and then.
RIP to the guy.
“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”
Didn’t make it ti his farewell concert in Birmingham on July 5th, but those who were there claim that he - although sitting - still outperformed everyone else who stood on the scene in the ten hour long goodbye show.

The real prince of darkness is his wife Sharon. She screwed over people like Jake E Lee and also kept Ozzy drugged up when their reality show was filming.
I grew up with Ozzy during the 70s and on when most were listening to Disco LOL.
He was always his own person not caving to anyone and living the life of not just a rock star but the "fucking prince of darkness".
Sadly I don't know what's going to happen with Sharon since they had an agreement that if one passed the other would go to Switzerland for assisted suicide since they didn't want to live without each other.
Theo Huxtable was a little rough around the edges, but I wouldn't call him the Prince of Darkness.
🤣 Poor Brass
