The Prince of Darkness is no more. Ozzy Osbourne passed away today. Suffering from Parkinson's disease, Mr. Osbourne met his maker today surrounded by family. To say he had a storied career is an understatement as he redefined what it was to be a "frontman" for a band. He performed what was truly his farewell concert last week. Retirement is not meant for some people.
Thanks for the music, Ozzy, thanks for the music. Some of his work is posted below.

For those who might not know, rock drummer Tommy Aldridge was heavily involved in Ozzy's solo career in the early days. He played on his third solo album, "Bark at the Moon" (1983), toured with him in the 80s, and appeared on Ozzy's first two live albums, "Speak of the Devil" and "Tribute". Tommy was born in Jackson and raised in Pearl.
The Reigning, Undisputed and Undefeated Heavyweight Champion: Father Time.
Death smiles at us all. All we can do is smile back. RIP Ozzy🤘
With all due respect, I think it helps if you were a little messed up in the head to be a fan.
I bet he has some new stories right now. prince of darkness indeed
Legend!
Very sad news. He was one of the best in the Rock & Roll we know still today.
Not sorry to say but I never missed not getting into his music... or style.
2:20 is correct. Pearl was also hometown for Ty Tabor of King’s X
If you think black sabbath and ozzy are messed up, then you should turn on modern rap
Is there a seat in Heaven for people who bite the heads off bats. You have to be pretty damned sideways in the head to listen to that crap, much less follow it. But, as Chick Postleman said, " They's some effed up people in this world!"
I grew up in the 70s. While I did not declare myself to be a heavy metal fan, I am somewhat surprised to know so many Black Sabbath songs. As for Ozzy himself my favorite song was "Dreamer." I hope you found your dream, Ozzy. RIP.
I always thought he was overrated. But he was a pretty good dad when he got off the booze and alcohol.
He moved lots of people…true talent. Humble as well as it seems. Life well lived.
@ 4:07 for the win!
NYT reported that Ozzie went down with Parkinsonism not Parkinsons disease https://davisphinneyfoundation.org/parkinsons-vs-parkinsonism/ Ozzie lifestyle may be a contributing factor.....
When you consider how Ozzie lived his life going all the way back to when he first started in music, it's truly amazing he lived to be 76. Then again, there's Keith Richards...still going strong.
