Ozzy Osbourne, often hailed as the “Prince of Darkness,” is a legendary figure in the world of rock music. Born on December 3, 1948, in Birmingham, England, he rose to fame as the lead vocalist of the pioneering heavy metal band Black Sabbath in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Known for his distinctive voice and theatrical stage presence, Ozzy helped to shape the heavy metal genre with classic albums like “Paranoid,” “Master of Reality,” and “Sabotage.” After being ousted from Black Sabbath in the late 1970s, Ozzy launched a successful solo career. His albums, including “Blizzard of Ozz” and “Diary of a Madman,” featured hits like “Crazy Train” and “Mr. Crowley,” solidifying his status as a rock icon. His music often explored dark themes and incorporated elements of fantasy and horror, reflecting his unique artistic vision.
