Eighty seven is a good, long life.

So this might be the "WTF This Can't be Right" of the year TMZ is saying it was accidental drowning, last thing I saw him in was four episodes of 9-1-1 last year. He played someone who was living in Bobby's apartment building back in Minnesota when the fire happened (both sides lost loved ones)

I'm just glad that this was my first exposure to him

not gonna lie this commercial made me laugh my ass off when it aired, the look on Ozzy's face is just priceless

Ozzy Osbourne dead: Black Sabbath frontman dies at 76

RIP to the true legend ozzy. Man oh man I remember seeing a video recently of him at the reunion and his grand daughter is watching and is excited screaming pa pa pa pa. Pa pa pa. It showed a human side to a man who is famous for biting a head off a bat really. He probably should have died 20 times but still sad but not unexpected as he hasn’t been doing well. Glad he could have 1 final show. They must have known he didn’t have lots of time left.

First rock concert I ever attended when I was quite young was Ozzy Osbourne. My older brother won tickets thru a radio station and he took me for some reason.  6th row centre. There I was not knowing what was really going on just mesmerized doing alot of people watching in a very loud environment smelling of skunk when all of a sudden the drummer decided to throw one of his drum sticks into the crowd that came directly at me. It all seemed like slow motion as a watched this drum stick arc directly towards me then finding myself on the bottom of a pile of people wanting this drum stick more than me (narrators voice: he didn’t want the stick). I remember my ears ringing loudly for days/weeks after the concert.  

Good times, RIP Double O.

I think he does that if I only post a picture and no article and since pictures I got from facebook tend to disappear after a couple of days.....

 

speaking of which (yes the other one is supposed to be Randy Rhodes)

Not really a fan of Black Sabbath with Ozzy I actually preferred Ronnie James Dio , but I really like Ozzy's solo stuff, dude always had top notch musicians playing on his albums especially guitar players. Glad he got one last hurrah 

I wasn't a fan of Black Sabbath or Heavy Metal music but you have to acknowledge the fact that Ozzie Osbourne's was an icon. I agree that he had some really good solo material. May he Rest in Peace

RIP Ozzy

I ******* love early Sabbath.  Have been playing this 1970 version of War Pigs a lot lately.  Bill Ward the drummer is beast mode here.

I highly recommend reading his autobiography.  This guy's life was truly insane.  What stood out for me was that so many good bands were coming out of England at that time - all influenced by the Beatles.  Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin both from Birmingham.  Ozzie got arrested at 19 for a break and enter, and his dad had the option of letting Ozzie sit in prison for six months of pay 20 pounds to get him out, and he chose to let Ozzie sit in prison to learn his lesson.  Ozzie credited that decision with changing his life, and he was always thankful that his dad did that.  How many parents would do that today?  I would wager pretty much zero.

and there's the third one

though to me the third one was Willow of 3 Southern Cats and Momma fame (yes an internet cat) aka Queen Francis Cleopatra Vera Ann Jones the First

my favourite moment of hers is at the 6:49 mark (warning her voice is a little annoying and she's the chunky black and white one)

Regardless of what dude said. He’s a legend. RIP Hulk. 

He made pro wrestling what it is today politics aside

He's the reason I still take my vitamins every day! 

Oh man and I just inquired about whether he was going to lend his voice to the KOTH revival (he didn't record any dialogue)
