Ozzy died.

He did come out with some classic lines...

 

Ozzy, "We started off as a Rock band messing with drugs, but we ended up as a drug band messing with rock".

I'm so glad I went to the expense and effort of watching the live stream of the Back to the Beginning show. I'd really be kicking myself now if I hadn't. 

 

Although Ozzy looked frail on the night he's always had a frailty about him. It's kind of weird because throughout his whole career I've almost always expected him to drop dead at any second given his excessive lifestyle, yet when it finally happened it came as a total shock after seeing him performing only a couple of weeks ago. 

 

R.I.P Ozzy. A true musical legend.

I don't think Ozzy and Dio were particularly friends either.

Great musician, singer & frontman. 
But a total bellend of a person who supported apartheid.

What can I say? Shocked but knew the end was near. An absolute legend and that term is indeed necessary for Ozzy. Playing Sabbath LOUD today. RIP.

For me the standout Ozzy performance is War Pigs on the Paranoid album. I can still remember the first time I ever heard that song on my record player when I was ten years old. My nephew bought that album on vinyl recently and he's thirteen. That's a time gap of going on for fifty years and he's into Sabbath just like I was.

 

Black Sabbath are still the best to ever do that style of music. No one can get near them, even after all that time. Ozzy might (quite understandably) have been a bit shaky at the final gig but the rest of them were still a formidable unit. As far as I'm concerned they are one of Britain's greatest ever exports and something to be proud of.
