Ozzy Ozborne's birth name is actually John Michael Ozborne. He started with Black Sabbath, and went on his own, because of the fact that he was abusing alcohol and drugs and the band kicked him out. Black Sabbath have firm ties in Birmingham England. After Black Sabbath kicked him out, he wondered on his own for awhile, and a record executives daughter took him under her wing and took him on has her own and started his solo carer and then married him, her name is Sharon Ozborne. They had a big contract signing around when they got married and as part of the signing someone had the idea to release doves during the signing and Ozzy bite off the head of one of the doves. Whats kind of funny is that on the Blizzard of Oz there is a picture of him petting a dove, and getting ready to bite its head off. The Biting off the head of the bat story is that he actually thought it was a prop and it ended up being and actual bat, this happened in Des Monies in 1984. After Ozzy went on his own Randy Roads was his guitar player and he died in a plane crash in the early 80s. The big thing about him is that he alone and with black sabbath had a huge impact with music. Black sabbath created the idea of scary music, before them there was no idea of dark music. Ozzy when he went on his own took this to the next step, this is believed to be why he is called the prince of darkness.
