Ozzy Osbourne, known as the greatest rocker(in my opinion best rock group although Metallica was said to be across the world) was born December 3rd, 1948 in Aston, Brimmingham, England. His first appearance in a band was the band Black Sabbath, which was the group that had spawned black metal in the music family. They released the self-titled album, Black Sabbath in the 1980's. His music career began in 1968, and he was known as the Godfather of Black Metal, along with The Prince of Darkness. During his youth, he was a thief and was sentenced to go to jail for six weeks, which is where he had created his infamous tattoos, O-Z-Z-Y on his left knuckles, and two smiling faces on his knees to cheer himself up with. Doing so many drugs and being constantly drunk, Ozzy was saved by his now wife, Sharon Osbourne, and by his guitarists Randy Rhoads. With Rhoads as the guitarist, Ozzy released the two albums which is the Blizzard of Ozz, and Diary of a Madman. Around this time is when Ozzy became infamous for biting the head off of a real bat! But during the 1980's between the 1990's, Ozzy was conflicted with two things, losing Rhoads and coping with his addiction with trying to stop with drugs. In 1983, Bark at the Moon is released, and later in 1986 The Ultimate Sin is released. In 1988 Zakk Wylde joins Ozzy in the gorpu and in 1990 No More Tears in released. Then in 1995 Ozzmosis is brought into the world, and released. Ozzy's largest financial success which was released in 1990 was Ozzfest, a collection of many bands together in one venue. The Down to Earth album is released October 16th, 2001. Then the Prince of Darkness released in 2005. Then the release of Black Rain happens May 22th, 2007. And his most recent album, Scream, is released June 15th 2010. He is, the greatest vocal inspiration the world has ever known to rock!
