I was gutted yesterday when I found out about Ozzy. I've been a huge fan ever since Sabbath hit us with Metal in the 70's.
Ozzy was larger than life and to quote David Lee Roth, he didn't just burn the candle at both ends, he took a flamethrower to it.
In the 80s, after Ozzy went solo, we went to a few of his gigs, sharing in his excess. Mad times, but it was all about the music and enjoying life.
Imagine if Ozzy had just sat at home with his pipe and slippers. Rock and roll would be a much duller place.
He's probably gigging already with his pal Randy.
RIP Ozzy
