ALL ABOAAAARD! DESCRIBE THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS HERE!Born John Michael Osbourne on December 3, 1948 in Aston, Birmingham. Also known as Ozzy. Or the "Prince of Darkness", if you want. As one of the first Heavy Metal singers—or maybe even the first—he has been called the "Godfather of Heavy Metal" while he prefers to call himself "The Prince of Darkness." Famous for snacking on winged creatures in the middle of sets.He's known in many circles as the original voice of Black Sabbath, the band who (arguably) created the Heavy Metal genre as we know it today. You can go to that page to know the rest of the details in his time with them. As the band's popularity declined, Ozzy was ousted from the band and formed one of his own. The group's debut, Blizzard of Ozz, has sold over 6 million copies to date and is generally regarded as one of the greatest metal albums of all time.In the 2000s, he pioneered the domestic reality show with The Osbornes. Since tropes from that show could fill their own wiki, you're better off putting examples here. Ozzy also took a career in literature, having released a memoir entitled I Am Ozzy in 2010 and the advice book Trust Me, I'm Dr. Ozzy in 2011. Current Lineup Ozzy Osbourne: Lead vocals Rob "Blasko" Nicholson: Bass Zakk Wylde: Guitar Adam Wakeman: Keyboards Tommy Clufetos: DrumsDiscography Black Sabbath 1970 - Black Sabbath 1970 - Paranoid 1971 - Master of Reality 1972 - Black Sabbath Vol. 4 1973 - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 1975 - Sabotage 1976 - Technical Ecstasy 1978 - Never Say Die! 2013 - 13 Solo career 1980 - Blizzard of Ozz 1981 - Diary of a Madman 1983 - Bark at the Moon 1986 - The Ultimate Sin 1988 - No Rest for the Wicked 1991 - No More Tears 1995 - Ozzmosis 2001 - Down to Earth 2005 - Under Cover 2007 - Black Rain 2010 - Scream 2020 - Ordinary Man 2022 - Patient Number Nine | |

Sure, Let's Go with That: As is mentioned above, Zakk Wylde had a white Les Paul that was nearly identical to the one Randy used, so he got it repainted. He wanted it to have a hypnotic black and white swirl (inspired by the movie Vertigo), but the luthier messed up and painted a bull's eye instead. Zakk thought it was cool, and now it's his trademark. | |

Heroic BSoD: Had one when Randy Rhoads died. See also Creator Breakdown in the Trivia tab. He had another one when he was fired from Black Sabbath. Ozzy being Ozzy, he assumed that his life as a rockstar would be over and he'd have to move back to his hometown to be a bartender or plumber or something. With this in mind he decided to go on the ultimate bender. He rented a hotel room, got all the drugs and booze he could afford, and went to town. Sharon stopped by three months later and said he was curled up on the ground surrounded by bottles, cocaine wrappers and empty pizza boxes and at a total loss of dignity or self-preservation. | |

Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll | |
| Ozzy Osbourne (Music) / int_16e94b0a | comment |
Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll: Ozzy is one of the most notable examples, especially in the drugs department. Indeed, in his later years his doctors concluded that according to all medical logic, he should have dropped dead years ago. As a result, they started running a series of blood tests on him to see how he managed to survive his heavy substance abuse as well as he did. Keep in mind that "well" is a relative term (when compared with death), and Ozzy still has a slew of health problems from his overindulgence in his early years. For his part, there's a poignant part in the TV series when Ozzy says to the camera that while it might be fun to joke about how he was a wild child taking all kinds of drugs, he's not at all proud of any of it. He realizes he nearly killed himself and hurt the people he cared about, and urged the audience that the whole myth of becoming a rock star and living the "high life" with money and drugs really is just a myth. The video for "Under the Graveyard" more or less shows what kind of life Ozzy was living in 1979, and it was far from glamorous. | |

The Cameo: He appeared briefly in Little Nicky and sung in Motörhead's "I Ain't No Nice Guy", Slash's "Crucify The Dead", and Lita Ford's "Close My Eyes Forever". He also provided the voice and likeness for the Guardian of Metal (basically an expy of himself) in Brütal Legend. His distinctive scream was given to the Green Fairy in Moulin Rouge!. | |

Heterosexual Life-Partners | |
| Ozzy Osbourne (Music) / int_1dfbbf31 | comment |
Heterosexual Life-Partners: First with Randy Rhoads (until he died), then later with Zakk Wylde. Ozzy and Zakk have been close friends ever since Ozzy hired him in 1987, despite Zakk getting fired from the band twice. Ozzy is also very close with the drummer from Black Sabbath, Bill Ward. Additionally, Lemmy Kilmister. They'd known each other since Lemmy's days in Hawkwind and Ozzy entrusted him with writing lyrics to some of his songs, including his Grammy-winning "I Don't Want to Change the World." They also would geek over World War II history. | |

I'm a Humanitarian | |
| Ozzy Osbourne (Music) / int_22071825 | comment |
I'm a Humanitarian: “Eat Me�, from Ordinary Man. It was based off the horrifying true story of a German man named Armin Meiwes, who met Bernd Brandes on an online forum. Armin decided to snack on Brandes, and Armin was sent to jail after this disgusting act, but years later, Ozzy thought of the story as humorous because of Los Angeles being a petri dish for vegans and decided to write the song in a similar tone to the story. | |

| Ozzy Osbourne (Music) / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: Ozzy vividly recalls in his memoirs about a notorious child molester who was jailed in the same facility as he was at the time. Both the guards and convicts clearly wanted nothing to do with him, and when a burly inmate beat the living hell out of the molester, the guards simply let that slide, deeming that the molester deserved it. | |

The Unintelligible: Though he's actually way more coherent nowadays than the character he was portraying in The Osbournes or who shows up in some of his endorsements. Mostly its a combination of his thick Brummie accent, and a tendency to speak quietly or just mumble. When he speaks louder, he's much more easy to understand. | |

Cluster F-Bomb: Averted in his music. While he's portrayed as a language blasphemer in The Osbournes, you won't hear much of this in his work. In his concerts, on the other hand, you will hear it, as his stage banter is typically filled with it. From a live performance of "Mr Crowley": | |

Noodle Incident | |
| Ozzy Osbourne (Music) / int_3c0a4666 | comment |
Noodle Incident: While on his 1984 tour with the guys from Mötley Crüe (which incidentally is known as "one of the craziest drug and alcohol-fuelled tours in the history of rock and roll"), Ozzy reportedly got so drunk/high, he eventually decided cocaine was for sissies and snorted a line of ants... After signing his first solo career record deal in 1981, Ozzy intended to release a pair of doves during a meeting with CBS Records as a sign of peace. Unfortunately (and quite unsurprisingly) he was drunk, and instead of releasing the doves, he grabbed one of them and bit off the bird's head... Then, in 1982, while performing at the Veterans Memorial Auditorium, The Prince of Darkness bit off the head of a bat he thought was rubber. It is unclear whether the bat was still alive when Ozzy plunged his teeth into its neck, though he had to be treated for rabies afterwards. | |

Culturally Religious | |
| Ozzy Osbourne (Music) / int_52b517e7 | comment |
Culturally Religious: In his memoirs, Ozzy mentions that his late mother was raised Catholic, but none of the Osbournes were (at least at that point in his life) church-goers. Despite numerous accusations that he and his band promoted or condoned satanism and occult practices (they regularly contend that their musical act is more akin to a horror movie and has released relatively gentle and socially provoking songs at times; they also pissed off satanists themselves by singing "Happy Birthday" instead of yielding to whatever invitations those cultists sent them for their black masses), Osbourne is reportedly a practising member of the Church of England and has prayed prior to his stage performances, also addressing to the crowd "Good Night, God Bless!" after each show. | |

10-Minute Retirement: In 1993, Ozzy announced that he'd retire from touring and called his would-be final tour "No More Tours". He got bored after the tour was over, and was back on the road in 1995 and 1996 with "The Retirement Sucks Tour" and has been on the road more or less ever since. | |

Domestic Abuse | |
| Ozzy Osbourne (Music) / int_590eb583 | comment |
Domestic Abuse: Ozzy and Sharon's marriage has turned violent on multiple occasions. He has knocked out her two front teeth; she retaliated by throwing a full bottle of scotch at his head. Nevertheless it is clear that they do love each other very much. The worst incident of domestic abuse for the Osbournes happened when, in a cocaine and alcohol-fueled rage, Ozzy attempted to strangle Sharon. This led to Sharon having him arrested and threatening to leave Ozzy unless he entered rehab. | |

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes? | |
| Ozzy Osbourne (Music) / int_5beef860 | comment |
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Ironically, not with bats. It's rats that drive him crazy. It's shown in the History Channel's Ozzy & Jack's World Detour (a travelogue show starring Ozzy and his son Jack) that Ozzy also has a pretty big fear of riding in helicopters. Jack eventually got him on one to survey Mount Rushmore, but you could practically feel Ozzy clenching his butt while they were up there. | |

Serial Killer | |
| Ozzy Osbourne (Music) / int_7301ae04 | comment |
Serial Killer: The song "No More Tears" is about a serial killer who kidnaps strippers, has sex with them, then tortures and kills them. Specifically, Ozzy has said that the song is about Jack the Ripper. Since it's from the killer's perspective there's some slight hints about his twisted motivation - in the last verse the narrator claims to be "in love" with latest victim, and one possible interpretation of the title is the murderer justifying his actions as putting an end to suffering. The song "Bloodbath In Paradise" is about the Manson family. | |

Out-of-Genre Experience | |
| Ozzy Osbourne (Music) / int_74ee1c2d | comment |
Out-of-Genre Experience: No More Tears, where Zakk Wylde combined his usual heavy riffing with jangly clean arpeggios, acoustic guitar and country-style leads to create a Southern Rock feel on much of the album, a sound markedly different from Ozzy's previous music and absent on all subsequent albums. Osbourne contributed lead vocals to the Was (Not Was) dance-pop song "Shake Your Head" with Kim Basinger,note An earlier version of the song had Kim's vocals by a then-unknown Madonna which was markedly different from his usual hard rock/metal output. | |

George Lucas Altered Version: After his original drummer and bassist sued him, he replaced their instrumentation on many of his original albums with new instrumentation by his current drummer and bassist for the 2002 reissues. After much controversy and criticism over the reissues, Ozzy changed his mind, and the original albums were remastered in 2011, without the alterations. | |

Made of Iron/Made of Indestructium: Probably Ozzy's brain and liver. Time was, nobody really knew how they both lasted for more than 35 years of hardcore drug abuse and alcoholism. But as noted above, geneticists at Cambridge University, looking for the answer to just that question, discovered part of his genetic structure really is Made of Indestructium. He's literally a mutant! Which has also led to Older Than They Look, because Ozzy does not look his age at all. | |

Homesickness Hymn | |

Homesickness Hymn: "Mama, I'm Coming Home" is a darker, more ambivalent take on the "coming home to a loved one" formula; the narrator talks about how the relationship is far from perfect (in fact, at times it seems downright toxic), but he's ready to come home to her anyway. While the popular lore says that Ozzy wrote it for his then-wife Sharon Osbourne ("Mama" was his pet name for her), the lyrics were in fact written for Ozzy by Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead. | |

He has actually been a grumpy old guy since well, The Osbournes. | |

Canon Discontinuity | |

Canon Discontinuity: The live albums Speak of the Devil, Just Say Ozzy, Live and Loud and the studio album The Ultimate Sin. The root of all these deletions, save for Speak of the Devil, is the song "Shot In The Dark". It was his biggest hit of the 80s, one of his most popular songs of his career and featured regularly in his live set from the time it was released until the mid-90s, when the legal rights to the song came into dispute. Ozzy deleted every album that featured it from his catalog except for a greatest hits package (where it was simply replaced by another tune). Recently, he's started playing it again though and the deleted albums are available for purchase on iTunes. | |

Only Known by Their Nickname | |
| Ozzy Osbourne (Music) / int_a7850fbf | comment |
Only Known as Ozzy: This nickname has its origins in his childhood. It was given to him by schoolyard friends/bullies. He later lengthened it to "Ozzy Zig" and then shortened it back to Ozzy prior to Black Sabbath. He has said that his first wife Thelma never called him Ozzy, only John, and that the only people who do it now are his brothers and sisters. Do Not Call Me "Paul": His real name is John Michael Osbourne, but he doesn't like it, to the point that he doesn't even respond to it anymore. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance | |
| Ozzy Osbourne (Music) / int_aabe2fb | comment |
Deliberate Values Dissonance: Ozzy recalls in his memoirs that his father, John Thomas "Jack" Osbourne, would pull off Al Jolson impressions when Ozzy was little—face painted with boot polish and all—much to the young Osbourne's horror. As was expected of the time when he was little, one of the teachers at primary school was, in Ozzy's own words, a "terrible racist". The things Mr. Lane said, despite of him being otherwise a nice guy, would land you a hate crime charge if you do so yourself. | |

Everyone Has Standards | |
| Ozzy Osbourne (Music) / int_b4a6ae4c | comment |
Everyone Has Standards: He was kicked out of Black Sabbath for his drug and alcohol use, but, it must be noted, only because the side-effects of the drugs and alcohol caused problems for the rest of the band — he had been doped up on cocaine and alcohol that kept him awake for thirty hours straight, and when the drugs wore off, he passed out in a different hotel room, and nobody could find him when it came time for that night's gig. Really, when a heavy metal band in the 1970s (especially them) thinks you're overdoing those, you know you have a problem. In a 2020 interview, Ozzy explained that while he doesn't mind having tattoos per se, he draws the line with Facial Markings as "anything above the collar" in his opinion "makes you look dirty." He expressed his intentions to leave America and go back across the pond out of disgust over the intense partisanism and rampant spree shootings caused by lax firearms laws and the borderline fetishistic gun culture by some sectors in the US. While he did own and operate guns before, it's safe to say that the countless shootings was too much for even him to tolerate. | |

Take That! | |
| Ozzy Osbourne (Music) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: "Miracle Man", towards Jimmy Swaggart. Ozzy has said that the lyrics of "Crucify the Dead", the song he sings in Slash's solo album, are what he would tell to Axl Rose if he was Slash. The lyrics have also been interpreted as being directed towards his former bandmates in Black Sabbath. The songs "I Don't Wanna Stop" and "Not Going Away" from Black Rain are Ozzy's responses to critics who say he should retire. "Rock and Roll Rebel" takes a jab at Moral Guardians who accuse Ozzy of being a Satan worshiper. On a similar note, "I Don't Want to Change the World": "Who the fuck is Justin Bieber?" "Goodbye to Romance" was written about his former bandmates in Black Sabbath. | |

Granted, it was crafted out of the actual in-game models, but you have to admit that the resemblance is spot-on and that only an undead warlock character would fit the man. He basically plays himself (a.k.a. the Guardian of Metal) in Brütal Legend. He also voiced the Duke of Drear in The 7D who was also modeled after him. | |

Berserk Button: He used to have some chickens, back when he was with his first wife. Said chickens never laid any eggs because, she told him, he never felt like feeding them. One night, after having not slept for 24 hours, doped up on cocaine and booze, the button was finally pressed, leading to one of the most hilariously twisted moments in his book: He blows a few chickens away with a shotgun, chases after the rest with a katana, sets the chicken coop on fire, and tosses the rest of his shotgun ammunition into the burning coop, causing many small explosions. And then his neighbor comes walking out, sees Ozzy wearing a tattered, chicken-bloodstained bathrobe, and simply says, "Ah, good evening, Mr. Osbourne. I see you're back from America." | |

| Ozzy Osbourne (Music) / int_c335b9ec | comment |
Irony: As a teacher Randy Rhoads was frustrated by students asking him to teach them how to play other people's songs, one of the popular ones being "Iron Man." Randy told the students it was pointless to learn them because they would never have a use for them, especially considering that Randy wasn't a Black Sabbath fan when joining Ozzy's band. Randy went on to play "Iron Man" every night with Ozzy, making him one of two people in the world (the other being Tony Iommi) to have the song in their job description. When news of the robbery at the Osbourne residence broke out, some noted the ironic twist of fate Ozzy had based on his prior criminal history when he attempted to rob a store in his teens. Ozzy made the following rebuttal in his memoirs: | |

Can't Hold His Liquor | |
| Ozzy Osbourne (Music) / int_c4b0faae | comment |
Can't Hold His Liquor: During his worst days, Ozzy was a notoriously mean and moody drunk, and while he was generally manageable if he was just on drugs, alcohol made him an absolute nightmare. Jake E. Lee summarized it best: sober Ozzy was an extremely warm, genuine, and caring person and a great friend, while drunk Ozzy was your worst enemy and would make you regret every single life choice that led you to that moment. Almost killing Sharon in a drunken rage in 1989 was his true moment of reckoning, and to this day, Ozzy is ashamed of his days of excess and the things he did while drunk in particular, and has repeatedly urged others to not glamorize that lifestyle or attempt to follow in his footsteps. | |

Nobody Thinks It Will Work | |
| Ozzy Osbourne (Music) / int_eb760617 | comment |
Nobody Thinks It Will Work: He and Sharon were practically the poster couple for this trope, and now they're regarded as one of the few bastions of hope for celebrity marriages, having been married since 1982. | |

Sanity Slippage Song | |
| Ozzy Osbourne (Music) / int_ee9bf817 | comment |
Sanity Slippage Song: Several examples. It was even lampshaded in a Saturday Night Live sketch where one character commented that "Ozzy Osbourne songs are all about going crazy and not being able to stop it." | |

Suspiciously Similar Substitute | |
| Ozzy Osbourne (Music) / int_f5a3e496 | comment |
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Before Zakk Wylde got buff and grew a beard he was considered to be one of these for Randy Rhoads, what with the long blond hair and cream Les Paul. He himself admits this (on the grounds of hero worship) and says that when he got hired for Ozzy he had a bullseye painted on his guitar so people wouldn't just assume he was a Randy Rhoads clone. He's since become the longest lasting member in Ozzy's band, having played on five studio albums released between 1988 and 2007. | |

Immune to Drugs | |
| Ozzy Osbourne (Music) / int_f912a750 | comment |
Immune to Drugs: To the point where he had his genome mapped to figure out how on earth he's still alive. The Cambridge project that did so found several genes that allow him to metabolize opiates and alcohol far more efficiently than most humans. Basically, if almost anyone else did as many drugs as he did, they would have died a long time ago. His autobiography describes it best in a minor Crowning Moment of Funny, where Ozzy decided to have a colonoscopy done. Regular Dose of Anesthetic: Twice the Dose: Three Times the Dose: | |

Series Fauxnale: No More Tears was supposed to be his final solo album and he was gonna retire from the music business afterwards, but he got bored after retiring, and came back four years later with Ozzmosis. | |

Scary Musician, Harmless Music: Unless you believe the Moral Guardians from The '80s. While he did make a tongue-in-cheek remark "thanking" his infernal beliefs for being able to dodge COVID-19, this video giving a young percussionist a heartwarming "God bless you!" is one proof he's far from the evil shock rocker persona he adopted in his career. In fact, he often if not always greets his fans a hearty "Good night, God Bless!" after each show. | |
