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.
Here's what I think about you and how your friends
How your friends adore your sudden glory
Heres what I know about you and all your trends
And all the times we made believe a story
Heres what I think about making face
Without a grain of doubt its all I think about, its all in my mind
Its best I make a sound before I hit the ground
Run away from it all
Its what I think about, its what I know about, its what I care about
Pain wont go away even when the drugs say, I wont regret
Time heals so Im told, I could never be sold, I dont forget
And if I should start to wonder, pull me out from the rock Im under
Heres what I think about vacant space
Without a grain of doubt its all I think about, its all in my mind
I better hit the town before the rain comes down
Run away from it all
Far away from it all
Pain wont go away even when the drugs say, I wont regret
Time heals so Im told, I could never be sold, I dont forget
Hey Dave, youre so brave, I can never be saved, take it from me
He said, she said, even if theyre not dead, bring them to me
Run away from it all, from it all
Pain wont go away even if the drugs stay, I dont regret
Time heals so Im told, I could never be sold, I wont forget.
I wont forget.
