Aw man, I just watched the final Black Sabbath show with Ozzy and Metallica.  So sad to hear about this.  RIP Ozzy.

Quote

If I can’t continue doing shows on a regular basis, I just want to be well enough to do one show where I can say, ‘Hi guys, thanks so much for my life.’ That’s what I’m working towards, and if I drop down dead at the end of it, I’ll die a happy man.

 

- Ozzy, Rolling Stone, Nov. 2023

 

 

Ya made it, bab. And they said thanks to you too. So do I.

Well despite subsisting on vodka and cocaine for years, he lasted long than Bowie, Prince, and a whole bunch of other people. 

And he went out with a banger show, so well done Ozzy!

Sad day indeed.

I was such a huge fan of his in the 80s/90s.
I saw him in concert every time he came to town, from Bark at The Moon to No More Tears.

I wasn't the biggest fan of the OZ. But as the years went on I respected what he'd done more and more. Not ALL of it. You don't get a moniker like "The Prince of Darkness" and NOT have a dark side. He screwed a few people over here and there. But the music industry as a whole tends to do that. So... yeah. That happened.
 

More to the point. As Razor points out in the following video - no one - absolutely NO ONE. Ever remotely SOUNDED like him! EVER.
 

One of God's own prototypes. Too fast to live. Too weird to die... well - at least until now.
 

And Keith Richards gets another "Hey look who I outlived!" on his running tally.

Addendum - 
I learned today that when Ozzy had his genome sequenced (because of course he did), they found that he had a number of previously unknown mutations, including one that gave him a much higher tolerance for alcohol.

So yeah. Add "Mutant" to the list of Ozzy Osbourne's traits. As if we didn't already suspect that all along.

Ozzy's response to the testing: "The only gene I know anything about is in Kiss."

Rest in peace, Prince of Darkness.

 

See you on the Other Side.

My son informed over dinner. I was visibly affected.

Afterwards, I sat there with Diary of a Madman on loop.

You can't kill rock and roll.
