What a shame, but he did well to make it that far and certainly went out with his boots on after the farewell gig a couple of weeks ago, An endearing guy and a very important figure in British music. RIP
Met him at LAX airport in 1988...he was waiting outside leaned up against a limo prob waiting to pick up someone....I said Hello Ozzy and he said alright lads what you doing in LA and we had a little chat....seemed a normal down to earth guy apart from biting Bat's heads off ! RIP Ozzy
I thought it was accepted that he didn't actually bite a real bats head off but it seems to be reported as fact!
He did, the story seems to be that he assumed it was a rubber toy but it was in fact the real thing! Had weeks of very unpleasant medication afterwards, definitely not one to try at home.
Never really been a metalhead but I like the occasional blast of the heavy stuff, Sabbath and Motorhead top of the list.
Last contribution from a Sabbath fan .... probably one of the best rock riffs ever. Actually, no probably about it ... Supernaut (2009 Remaster) - YouTube
Went to Ozzfest at Donnington a few years back. Main memory of the day though was that it pissed down and 2 girls stripped down to their undies and wrestled in the mud. Ozzy would've approved 👍
"Music promoter Andy Park had booked Earth across 20 venues, but can remember one particular night at Low Hesket Village Hall, in Carlisle, for all the wrong reasons.
He told BBC Radio Cumbria: "They died an absolute death and all I can remember is the caretaker kept coming into the hall looking for me and he came across to me and his words were so simple - 'it's a dance, make them dance'.
"So he expected me to get 150 people up on the dance floor."
Mr Park said the crowd at the village hall were more used to country dances.

RIP.
Metal not my taste in music but Paranoid is a great song.
Crue regarded themselves as the maddest and baddest out there and done some outrageous things.
There outlook changed after they went on tour with Ozzy...
Ozzy snorted a line of ants.
Not sure we will ever see the like again
RIP Ozzy

This bit amused me:
