John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne (born 3 December 1948) is an English singer, songwriter, actor and television personality. He rose to prominence during the 1970s as the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, during which he adopted the nickname "The Prince of Darkness".
Osbourne was fired from the band in 1979 due to alcohol and drug problems, but he went on to have a successful solo career, releasing eleven studio albums, the first seven of which were all awarded multi-platinum certifications in the United States. Osbourne has since reunited with Black Sabbath on several occasions.
People profile published Wednesday.“It’s where I belong,” Osbourne said about touring. “The relationship I have with my audience is the biggest love affair of my life.”The father of five continued: “I am determined to get back on stage even if I have to be nailed to a board and wheeled on.
Survival is my legacy.”The singer also discussed how his alter ego of the “Prince of Darkness” followed him home after his concerts. “I started to take the persona off stage,” he noted. “That’s when I got really messed up.
