Love that guy, but let's be honest. We've all been kinda waiting for this news for like...30 years! :lol:

I didn't love all of his music, but he and Sharon definitely held the metal torch for many, many years and kept the industry alive when a lot of us thought it would disappear.

He was a talent, a legend and the greatest personality in Metal!

RIP, Ozzy. First saw Black Sabbath in concert in Frankfurt in 1978 (Offenbach am Main to be precise). I remember when a guy brought their first album to our English class in High School back in 1970; there's a backstory there I won't bore you guys with. Never watched his reality TV show, though, not my cup of tea. I've always liked good heavy metal but it's not something I listen to exclusively for long periods, I'd wind up in a bad place.

I was obsessed with Black Sabbath then the first few Ozzy albums as a kid. Lol, used to hang out with this girl at her moms apartment after high school and crank those albums. The Randy Rhoads era was esp influential at the time. Huge loss

I saw Ozzy with Sabbath in 78 or so. This unknown band named Van Halen opened. Then I saw his Blizzard of Oz tour with Randy Rhodes and Rudy Sarzo. I think Tommy Aldridge on drums. I like the Sabbath sound much better than the solo sound.

One of the best voices in rock.
And such a great performer who always thanked the crowd and appreciated them.

A true legend.
