Ozzie Ozbourne is Dead

@hilde45 He was one those dudes seemingly blessed with 9 lives. 

God bless his heart…unless he already ate it. 

Simply amazing!  My best friend in high school turned me onto the first Black Sabbath record my sophomore year.  I went out the next day and bought my own copy.   I rocked heavy with Ozzy through the 70's with Black Sabbath and then into the 80's with his solo gig!  RIP Ozzy!

I’ll never forget my aunt playing Black Sabbath and looking at the album cover in my younger years early 1970s. The music and sound made for impressions you don’t forget. As his friends repeatedly say, "Ozzy was Ozzy". Nobody like him. 

All of them comment how he always put the most into it at every show.  

Watching people around the world expressing their own thoughts about the man and his family, wife Sharon, his kids, and grandkids he seemed to enjoy, dearly.

He has made a lasting impact on the next generation of young singers and young fans you can see in the audience digging his music right down the very last show "Back to the Beginning" July 5th, just three weeks ago. Amazing he did that last show with every last bit of intention and drive he had to say goodbye to all.   

I was never a fan of his music, but his personal integrity was exemplary from what I've read.

A pedantic (perhaps) side point: he did not have "Parkinson Disease". Rather, he had "Parkinsonism" which is a constellation of disorders resembling the former, but is due to another cause entirely (in this case, multi-substance use spanning decades).
