Heartbreaking News: Ozzy Osbourne a British musician and media personality just passed away at the age of 75…
has fought back from the brink on many nail-biting occasions throughout his career. Everyone at various times has written off the rock icon, yet he’s always found a way to emerge back at the top of the mountain. However, that’s not to say he hasn’t made musical mistakes along the way.
Following his departure from Black Sabbath, it seemed unlikely that Osbourne would become a star in his own right. Guitarist Tony Iommi was their chief songwriter; therefore, Osbourne could no longer rely on him to pen classics such as ‘Into The Void’ and ‘Paranoid’.
Even Osbourne believed his time had been and gone. However, he was persuaded to attempt a solo career, which was the best decision he ever made. Both Osbourne and Black Sabbath enjoyed a new lease of life following his departure, which was necessary due to the breakdown in their relationship.
While Ozzy’s solo career went better than he could have envisioned, thanks to his debut album, Blizzard of Ozz, his life was still clouded with personal problems that seemed inescapable. He may have been selling millions of records, but living a life full of rock ‘n’ roll eventually came back to bite Osbourne in the backside. Although he successfully managed to burn the candle at both ends for many years, in the mid-1980s, it became clear that something had to give.
