As a Stagehand, I worked on a number of his shows in the latter 70's. I was never much of a fan, but I can say that his shows were always top quality. They didn't cut any corners, sound and lighting were top drawer, they were always well rehearsed and gave the audience more than they paid for.
Seems like he had to have known that he was on his way out. I guess his "Last Concert" really was his "Last Concert".........

Well, Batman will sleep easier tonite....
Surprised he made it this far!
Was never really a fan. But he certainly made his mark on popular culture!
RIP Ozzy! You lived a hell of a life!

PS. "Live fast, die young, leave a good looking corpse," never applied to Ozzie who was too damn ugly to leave a good looking corpse ;-) So good thing he made it to some level of old age. And he could he belt out metal!

His Hall of Fame induction was a shock to see his state. He looked dead there
Never a huge fan of his music , but his babbling on his reality TV was kinda funny.
RIP Ozzy
RIP Ozzy
Just heard…..damn. You knew someday it was going to happen, but still.
Even if you didnt care for ozzy….his impact on music was tremendous. It’s rare that a famous person’s passing causes me any pause; but this one hit. Absolutely loved his music and the impact it had on the world.

Including the time he mooned the audience lmao

Never a fan of anything but the original Sabbath with Tony Iommi (who wrote the majority of the music).
Is ozzy the guy that bit off animal heads? If so you guys that like him are weird
He really is a Glowie!!!
Only a Hoover-boy would not know who Keith Richards is!

Wow...just read this on the news. Didn't Black Sabbath have their last official show recently? And Ozzy sat in a chair at some other show in LA I think maybe first of the year?
Saw him once, soon after Rhodes was killed. Jake E Lee took over at that time.
His 2nd to last album was probably the best music I've heard come out in a long time.

God bless John Robert "Ozzy" Osbourne and his family. I think he was okay with Black Sabbath but I liked him better on his own. And Sharon was a blessing to him. Ozzy can sing and perform but cannot get two pennies together. But Sharon can and it is because of her that they had a nice pot to piss in.
One of my favorite stories is from Zakk Wylde when he was struggling with his drinking. "When Ozzy tells you that you have a problem..."
As for biting the head of a bird, that was an accident. But it freaked everyone out and that made for good press.
Biting the head off the bat was also an accident. They were performing outside and the temperature was in the 40s F. At that temperature, bats are sleeping. Someone threw a live bat on stage and he thought it was made of licorice. As he bit into and realized this really was a bat, he was rushed to a hospital to start injections for rabies.
I think one of his greatest sorrows that never really went away was losing Randy Rhodes.
He may have been the Prince of Darkness but he was had crucifixes around the house hung in the proper fashion.
Speaking of Keith Richards, he may not even have started pre-need funeral arrangements.

In my heathen years I saw the "Bite the Bat" tour in Philly, but Sabbath was much better with Dio. Never watched his TV show, but I'm sure Sharon is mourning.
I found the show to be quite entertaining. He was funnier than hell........
The reality show made that family millions.Legend for sure. The reality show seems like bad judgement, but he was not really known for that
Ozzy was pretty big when I was in HS in the 80s. I still prefer Ted Nugent.
And to the rest of the approximately 8,900 people that also died in the US:
If Keith Richards dies it's going to be a miracle.
Hey, What's NOT to like about a guy that bites the head off a live Moose ?Is ozzy the guy that bit off animal heads? If so you guys that like him are weird
Best Ozzy story ever
And I felt bad for accidentally once leaving the hot shower running overnight to steam my suit wrinkles - it blistered all the paint and made wallpaper peel in the bathroom and ensuite; and I thought I would be banned from Four Seasons.
When I get home I am blasting some Sabbath, up on 11.
You could tell in the final concert that he was having a hard time with Mamma I'm Coming Home. He knew he wasn't going to be around much longer. It was about as hard to listen to as Warren Zevons cover of Knocking on Heavens Door right before he died.
Grew up with his music. Guy lived the rock n roll lifestyle. Am truly surprised he lasted this long.
He did enough drugs to kill North America.
Surprised he made it this long.
