Crazy for Ozzy

John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne
b. December 3, 1948

"Prince of Darkness"
"Godfather of Metal"

Lead singer/Founding member of the heavy metal band, Black Sabbath

Point of interest - Ozzy was fired from Black Sabbath due to alcohol & drug addiction.

He has since produced 13 solo albums.  The first seven achieved multi-platinum certification in the U.S.

Ozzy rejoined Black Sabbath in 1997.  The band recorded their final album, 13 (released in 2013), followed by a farewell tour that ended in 2017 with a performance in Birmingham, England.

Ozzy, a family nickname, was greatly inspired by The Beatles.
