Wild life of Ozzy Osbourne, rock’s ‘prince of darkness’

Ozzy Osbourne, who died at the age of 76, helped in formulating the sound that became known as heavy metals – moreover, the front man in practice invented the image of the wild rock star.

Ozzy Black Sabbath has an indelible mark on music through a pioneer in heavy metals – and was welcomed as a major influence by a group of artists who followed them.

Thanks to his early audio style and “Prince of Darkness”, Ozzy led the band to become international stars – before being launched because of its increasing dependence on drugs and alcohol.

But he carved a successful single profession before reunification with the band, in addition to becoming the unlikely star of the successful TV reality program that offered his local irregular life.

John Michael Osporen was born in the Aston area of Birmingham on December 3, 1948. His father Jack was a tool maker, while his mother Lillian worked at the Lucas factory, who made the components of the car.

Pick the title Ozzy in the elementary school and is stuck.

Regardless of his gift his title, the school was a bad experience for a young Osborne. He has suffered from dyslexia and what will now call hyperactivity disorder in ADHD.

He left at the age of 15 and toured a series of blocked jobs, including some time he spent working in slaughterhouses, allowing him to play practical jokes in bars by placing the eyes in the popular loudspeakers.

He even turned his hand to the crime, but he found that he had no luck. A TV fell on him while he was brilliantly house and spent six weeks in Winston Green prison in Birmingham after the steal of a clothes store.

What he saved is music: the sound of the Beatles that sings you from the rising transistor radio around his life.

“This was an incredible explosion of happiness and hope,” Brian Appleard later told Brian Appleard. “I used to dream – wouldn’t it be great if Paul McCartney married my sister.”

He persuaded his father to buy him a microphone and amplifier, and with him with Terry’s friend “Jizer” Bater, the shape of a band called Rare Breed – which lasted for only two shows.

The couple became part of the Blues group called Polka Tulk Blues, later named on the ground, along with the guitarist Tony Emmy and the Dermas Bill Ward.

The band, determined to make what they called “frightening music”, was tested in a room for local cinema – where a horror movie in 1963 Black Sabbath spoke the name of the band and its first hit.

“I haven’t invented this type of music,” Ozi remembers later. “When I look at this song, Black Saturday, I think, how did you start thinking about this tune?”

The song, written by Ospurne and Bittler, opened its first album in 1970, which, despite overcoming music critics, reached the eighth rank in the UK plans and the number 23 in the United States.

More success follows a series of best -selling albums including bone madness, MA in reality and folder 4, all of which sold more than a million copies.

By the time when the band launched Saturday, the bloody Saturday in 1973, the critics even began to praise them.

One of the writers described it as a “masterpiece” and continued to say that he believed that the band discovered a new sense of ingenuity and maturity.

The 1975 album received cash praise, but by this time the band began to collapse, and was to lose its momentum.

Osborne had already begun to undergo drink and drugs that would dominate his life. His reliability became legendary and began to disturb his colleagues from Black Sabbath members.

Family life was also under pressure, with his addiction and affairs and a frequent tour of a tour that showcases his relationship with the wife and their two children. The husband will be divided later.

Ospurne has always covered insecurity by behaving as a clown of the band, but now its westernity was seriously impeding the development of the Sabbath.

His relationship with IOMI was not soft and Ozzy began to resent what he saw as the gossip of the band.

In 1978, he spent three months in a single project called Blizzard of Ozz, but he returned to Sabbath to record the album Never Say Die.

After a faded tour, Osborne was launched by other Saturday members on the basis of drug use, as it was replaced by Ronnie James Dio.

Osborn later claimed that his dismissal was unfair, on the pretext: “We were all bad like each other.”

The problem was that Ozzy was not good in dealing with the countless effects of materials in which the entire band was indulged.

He revived a snowstorm from OZZ with the help of Sharon Armen, the daughter of the Black Don Ardeen. The couple was married later and continued to have three children – Amy, Kelly and Jack.

She also tried to help him control his drinking and drugs. There were periods when he seemed to kick his addiction – but he often fell from the cart.

He told Appleyard later: “If this is not for Sharon, I would have died long ago.”

The controversy was not far. The most famous accident was to bite his head from live bats while on stage in Iowa in 1982. He was leading raw meat to the audience on a tour, prompting fans to throw things in return. He claims that he believed the bats were fake before taking a bite.

He did not try to use the same excuse for the doves who wandered at the registration meeting in the previous year.

Other exploits included the arrest of the memorial of the Texas Ollo war while wearing one of the Sharon dresses; Exit from the Dachau detention camp for being drunk and unorganized during his visit during a German tour; Pull a rifle on the Black Drams player on Saturday during a bad acid trip; Flash and wake up in the central reservation of a highway consisting of 12 lane; Residents of the chicken fold slaughtered with a pistol, sword and gasoline while wearing a dressing dress and a pair of wells.

Everyone added to the myth of Ozzy, but in reality, most of his behavior was not very attractive or brilliant. It was a debris, and he gave him the drink and drugs.

In 1989, he woke up in prison to be told that he was arrested on suspicion of trying to kill Sharon. He could not remember anything about her. The accusations were dropped.

Meanwhile, his first single album went platinum and the follow -up, the notes of a crazy man and a bark in the moon, went to the most perfect.

He toured a large scale during the 1980s and 1990s, in addition to achieving a huge commercial success with OzzFest – a series of tours, especially in the United States, which appeared in all types of minerals.

Osborn occupied the title of most festivals and there was even the appearance of his colleagues on Saturday on Saturday.

Then in 2002, he and his family had passed to a new form of fame when they were inadvertently pioneering on reality TV, as the cameras seized a dysfunction in their home lives.

It was a great success, although the American broadcast was very controlled by the removal of profanity in Osborne – something that is not necessary when the offer was broadcast in the UK.

Meanwhile, Osborne continued registration – but he had to spend a break in 2003 when he fell on a four -bike and was seriously injured.

While he was recovering in the hospital, individual plans in the United Kingdom were topped for the first time, with the changes of the black Saturday song, which was rich in a duet with Kelly’s daughter.

Black Sabbath was included at regular intervals, and in 2013 he returned to the top of the UK album scheme – 43 years after the last one, with the madness of greatness.

In 2018, he claimed that he got rid of alcohol and drugs and would return to his lifestyle with a tour.

“I now have grandchildren and I am 70 years old and I do not want to find a dead in a hotel room somewhere,” he told my journalist during the promotion of Osvist that year.

However, he had other health issues to confront them. Initially, I think the shaking in his hands was the result of his extra life. But in 2007, it was distorted with a condition called Parkinson’s syndrome, then in 2019 with Parkinson’s disease.

He suffered from the spine damage to the fall late at night in the same year, which exacerbated the injury he suffered in the crash of the four -bike. Repeated surgeries have achieved limited success.

But he was determined to breastfeed from the public eye with a customary bang.

He and Charun and hisdemallers lined up at Saturday at a farewell party at the Villa Park Football Stadium, in the stone goal of his childhood home, which happened slightly more than two weeks ago.

A group of their colleagues lines rocky legends – including Metallica, Guns N’s Roses and Aerosmith from Steven Tyler – to perform and honor him and the effect of Saturday.

Ospurne himself sat because of his mobility problems, but he managed to restore his old magic – as he tied his strikes while he was applauding, waving his arms and withdrawing his wild appearance, just like ancient times.

He once told an interview: “I am proud of what I have achieved in my life.” “You couldn’t write the story of my life if you were the best writer in the world.”
