He died today. Only 76.
Thoughts for Sharon and his family.

Vegansrock I don’t understand that saying why can’t we be truthful wether anyone’s dead or alive I wasn’t a fan he wasn’t
my sort of person but he certainly cut the mustard with his huge fan base
I know grief played a part but Sharon looks so thin and old she said herself she went much too far on the weight loss jabs she looks very ill I thought wasting away

Tax thieves and druggies are not people I admire. I'm fed up of Americans coming back to this country to use the NHS in their old age. Americans are the biggest tax thieves in our country. They are taking over UK surgeries, and reducing the number of GPs employed, not to mention are the biggest tax avoiders.

Is this relevant to Ozzy?

He's Birmingham born and bred!

Not sure if you’ve posted on the right thread? This thread is nothing to do with the NHS. Also, not sure we are being inundated by Americans coming here to use our NHS - where have you got your facts from?
If you think Ozzie was American, you’re mistaken. He was born in Birmingham. It’s possible, of course, that he had dual nationality and took American citizenship, but I don’t know if he did or didn’t. Either way, he hadn’t come “over here” to take advantage of our NHS as you seem to be implying.

There's a glorious YouTube clip of Ozzy, in his American Mansion days, absolutely despairing of the quality of American chocolate and then going off to an English chocolate outlet and coming back with heaps of goodies; Mars Bars, Cadbury's Dairy Milk, Bounty bars, etc, etc, etc.

After tipping the lot into a large drawer he tries his darndest to force the drawer shut - with no success. Sharon is busying around him and doesn't bat an eyelid. Everyday life with Ozzy........

I went up the escalator in M&S this morning behind a man in shorts who had a big black tattoo of the members of Black Sabbath on his calf. Above Ozzy he had added RIP Ozzy and the date, it still looked sore. That shows some devotion.
