Ozzy Osbourne: A Life Like No Other
We all know Ozzy Osbourne. His mad image, his music remembered for life, and his self-destructive nature have made him a rock legend. But he's more than that. He's been a husband, a father, and a grandfather. Ultimately, he's a legend who's lived through highs and lows.
In 2018, when he was 69, Ozzy was on his grand goodbye tour. He was selling out crowds, getting rave reviews, and seemed to be riding at the pinnacle of his success. Then disaster struck. Ozzy's immediate future was suddenly interrupted, and his life took a detour.
Ozzy has always been honest about his life, even when it's been crazy or irresponsible. In one interview, someone asked him if he could relive everything, with all the knowledge he has now, would he do things differently? His answer was simple: "I'm like, f*** no. If I'd been clean and sober, I wouldn't be Ozzy. If I'd done normal, sensible things, I wouldn't be Ozzy."
That's Ozzy for you. He doesn't regret anything. His life wasn't one of rule-breaking—it was one of being himself. He's blown it, made enormous gambles, but throughout it all, he's stayed true. That's what's turned him into the icon he is today.
Husband. Father. Grandfather. Icon.
Ozzy's life has had its crazy highs and tough lows. That's what made him a legend, though. You can't copy his story, and because of that, it's worth remembering.
As Ozzy heads toward the final chapter of his life's work, we're left with his music, his off-the-wall stories, and the legacy he leaves. He's retiring from the stage, but his impact will
never fade.
