Ozzy RIP
https://news.sky.com/story/ozzy-osbourne-dies-just-weeks-after-farewell-show-13400248

edit…apparently it’s frowned upon to just post a public service announcement that someone has passed away, who might mean the world to someone on our beloved forum….without offering a glowing tribute yourself…….so, to everyone who  likes the OP to only post in a tribute RIP and offer up some meaningful words…..….Ozzy was omnipresent in my life, this being due to his first record deal being made (I believe) in the year of my birth in 1971…..I did like a few of Black Sabbath’s tracks…..and the Osborne’s TV antics did make me chuckle…..other than that Ozzy didn’t mean that much to me unfortunately, but I fully appreciate that he did to many millions around the world….hence why I posted a link to the sad news in this tribute thread, where many of you could find out the aforementioned sad news and post your own thoughts, feelings and tributes to the great man…..I do hope that goes some way to redeem myself…

Little bit of a shock, pleased he managed to perform a few weeks ago.
