John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne (born 3 December 1948) is an English heavy metal vocalist and songwriter, whose musical career has spanned over 40 years. Osbourne rose to prominence as lead singer of the pioneering English band Black Sabbath, whose dark and hard sound helped spawn the heavy metal genre. Due to Sabbath's dark style, Osbourne became known as the "Prince of Darkness". Osbourne is also known as the "Godfather of Heavy Metal".
In the early 2000s, Osbourne's career expanded when he became a star in his own reality show The Osbournes, alongside wife/manager Sharon and two of their three children, Kelly and Jack. A documentary about his life and career, God Bless Ozzy Osbourne, premiered in April 2011 at the Tribeca Film Festival and was released on DVD in November 2011. Osbourne has achieved multi-platinum status as a solo artist and with Black Sabbath and has sold over 100 million albums worldwide.
John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne was born in Aston, Birmingham, England, on 3 December 1948. His father Jack worked shifts as a toolmaker at GEC. His mother Lillian worked for the car components firm Lucas. John was the fourth of six children. Ozzy had two brothers (Paul and Tony) and three sisters (Jean, Iris and Gillian); they lived in a small two bedroom home at 14 Lodge Road in Aston. The nickname "Ozzy" was first used when he was in primary school. Although called "John" by his first wife Thelma, Osbourne states that it has been a long time since he's recognised himself when called by his formal name.
Nice trainers brother, did you get them from your mother, brother?
Nice trainers geezer, do you wear 'em just to please her, geezer?
They're pretty stylish man, they caught me on the hop,
With the way your trousers gather rather neatly round the top...looking good now
Dim the lights & let him through
No-one else is dressed like you
Nice trousers sonny, did they cost you lots of money, sonny?
Nice trousers cousin, did you order half a dozen, cousin?
Perhaps you ought to go out and get yourself a job,
And buy some clothes that make you look a bit less like a nob...look around now
Dim the lights & let him through
No-one else is dressed like you
Is there possibly anything I can do
To make you realise, it's not 1982?
