There used to be a LittleOzzy here. I think he might be dead too, or at least in mourning.

I loved a lot of Black Sabbath stuff and Osbourne was a funny cool personality. He died too soon!

Not gonna Lie, I thought we were talking littleOzzy.

I'm not sure about too soon. Any rock star that makes it to 70 is probably beating the odds. that isn't a health friendly lifestyle

First song I think of when I think of him. Owned a vinyl too. Used to be into metal lol. Hair and all.

RIP Ozzy.

Dude was iconic, for sure. Closing the book on a legend, who had indeed lived quite a life.

Ozzy has a truly amazing nickname "Prince of Darkness". It's honestly a miracle he made it this far. Parkinson's is truly brutal.

RIP Ozzy. He's off the crazy train and onto the afterlife.

Yeah. He was one of a kind & one of the Metal GOATS.

Paranoid is one of that songs that my wife and I enjoyed "playing" on the video game Rock Band back in the day. Great memories of us playing that thing for hours back when we were in our 20's & early 30's.

I remember as a child hearing stories of Ozzy "biting the heads off bats" while on stage. I always thought he was possessed by the devil or something.

:lol:

I gotta say he managed his finances well. Old rock stars normally don’t stay this wealthy well past their prime.

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

He did very well as he slowed down and moved past his physical prime, that's for sure. The reality show helped a bunch, as did some reunion tours and stuff. But he also had a fairly epic solo career after Sabbath and in general just kept going. Pretty amazing career, really.

Credit his wife for the management of his career and finances. As much as a lot of people love to hate her for some reason, she literally saved his life and career. Glad they had so long together.
