Legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne dies at 76

Glad he got that final show & got to hear the crowd roar.

RIP. One of my favorites.  
 

Mama I’m comic’s home. 

One of the iconic performers of the last 50 years. 

I'm also glad he got that final show in.

Yes, he was a "Rock Star"!

He had a heck of a time while he was with us. 

I literally listen to something from Ozzy or Black Sabbath everyday, and have since I was about 13 years old and got Diary of a Madman. It was the second album I ever owned (Back in Black was the first). I've seen him in concert 5 times, and all were memorable experiences. Everything he's done I've loved, including the two recent albums from a couple years ago. I don't suffer from celebrity worship all that much, but Ozzy was one celebrity I did worship.

I have heard bits and parts of several news reports and a couple of them mentioned Ozzy was "fired" from Black Sabbath.  What happened there?

That's the story I always heard. He had become pretty unreliable and hard to work with and had gotten fired briefly before their final album (before Dio came aboard), Never Say Die. That's why Bill Ward sang a song on Never Say Die (It's Alright), because Ozzy hated it and refused to sing it. It's been said the last straw was Ozzy getting loaded, and sleeping through a scheduled show. From what I've also heard, Tony Iommi didn't really want Ozzy in the band originally because he knew him and hated him in school. He only got the gig because he had PA system.

Rest in Peace, Ozzy.
