This news comes a few weeks after his final performance in Birmingham, where he spent a solid farewell filled with hits of both black Subbath and his solo catalog. Fans around the world mourn not only for a person but also for the mythology he carried with him.

Heavy Bat Ozbourne incident: What really happened?
One fairy tale followed the Ozzy for decades, whispered behind the scenes and printed on the back of the leather jackets: did he really bite his head on stage? No matter how incredible it sounds, the answer is yes, but with a few wild turns.

In 1982, during a de -May concert, a fan threw what Ozi considered a rubber bat on stage. Without thinking, he raised him and bit his head. Unfortunately for him, it was real. It is said that his then girl Sharon Osbourne shouted with horror when realized the truth.

Osbourne, stunned and panicked, immediately threw the bat back into the crowd. Later, he was sent to the hospital for a number of rabies that night. He later reminded of this moment as one of the chaos and confusion, and said that the bat may even bite him in return.

Not the first incident of animals Ozzy Osbourne
It was not Ozi’s first meeting with the creatures of the Kingdom of Animals. A year earlier, in a bizarre advertising trick, he went wrong, he was reportedly biting his head from two pigeons at a meeting with the heads of records. What was supposed to be a peaceful gesture, quickly twisted into the shameful story of the rock.

The legacy of Ozi Osbourne
Despite these dark and dramatic stories, Ozi was not always reflected in the flags of the figure. Its more vulnerable moments, including the preparation of breakfast in a metal documentary or in the main roles in Osbourne, showed a person behind the myth. But even when fans grieve, many decided to remember it as the final Wildcard Rock, which turned the shock into a spectacle and pogrom into music.
