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.
Ozzy Osbourne has opened up about his determination to keep touring, despite being held back by a litany of health complications in recent years.Osbourne recently gave his first live performance in over three years during a surprise appearance at the closing ceremony for this year’s Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
Following his performance – which he delivered with the assistance of a back brace – Osbourne has said in a new interview with People that he’s felt a newfound eagerness to return to the touring lifestyle.“It’s where I belong,” he told the publication, noting that “the relationship I have with my audience is the biggest love affair of my life”.
Addressing his recent health issues, Osbourne described his battle with Parkinson’s as “a nightmare”, saying: “That’s the only thing that reminds me I’m getting older: things going wrong and not working anymore.
But I still feel young at heart.”The former Black Sabbath frontman declared he has no plans to retire anytime soon, telling People that he’s “determined to get back on stage even if I have to be nailed to a board and wheeled on”, because “survival is my legacy”.Osbourne pointed to his performance of ‘Paranoid’ alongside Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi at the Commonwealth Games as an example of his legacy coming full circle. “The games were a quarter of a mile away from the school that I went to growing up,” he said, “and as we drove past it, I thought, ‘If somebody would have told me I’d be doing this up the road so many years later, I would’ve never believed them’.
