Words to Live By: Ozzy Osbourne, The Prince of Darkness
Ahalya Narayanan
For all the Black Sabbath fans, here’s some disappointing news. Ozzy Osbourne has declared that there will be no reunion. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about doing another gig, clarifying that he has no interests left for it.
Ossy Osbourne said, “The only thing I do regret is not doing the last farewell show in Birmingham with (drummer) Bill Ward (Tommy Clufetos played the drums on The End Tour). I felt really bad about that. It would have been so nice. I don’t know what the circumstances behind it were, but it would have been nice. I’ve talked to him a few times, but I don’t have any of the slightest interest in [doing another gig]..”
Well, the man has spoken about his views but this is not the only time, he’s been quite open about things. Let’s take you down a memory lane by showing you all the times, Ossy Osbourne has left us to inspire because he spoke his heart out.
1. “Out of everything I’ve lost, I miss my mind the most!”2. “I got rabies shots for biting the head off a bat but that’s OK – the bat had to get Ozzy shots.”3. “I have a genuine love affair with my audience. When I’m on stage they’re not privileged to see me. It’s a privilege for me to see them.”4. “I have a saying. ‘Never judge a book by its cover’. I say that because I don’t even know who Ozzy is. I wake up a new person every day.”5. “I knew it was time to get off of reality TV when someone asked me if I sang as well as acted.”6. “I couldn’t be a royal. It’s like living in a supersonic goldfish bowl.”7. “To be a liar, you’ve got to have a great memory, and I don’t have a memory.”8. “I’ll only retire in the day I should be dead and they have me buried, and some idiot spell over my casket some stupid gospel stuff.”9. “Rock music is not meant to be perfect.”10. “It’s all part of my journey – I’ve done a lot of stupid things, but you learn by your mistakes.”
