Entertainment Ozzy Osbourne tribute
Ozzy Osbourne wasn’t just a legend on stage, he was an icon out in the real world, too – 17 of the weirdest, funniest and most heartwarming Ozzy moments that will live forever
The Prince of Darkness is gone and the music world is mourning. He fronted the band that birthed heavy metal and his impact on the music world will last forever. That signature voice will never be replicated. But Ozzy Osbourne was so much more than a musician. He left his mark across the world wherever he went. He was truly a one of one personality.
This collection of posts isn’t about celebrating a musical virtuoso. It’s about saluting someone who did what he wanted, when he wanted, how he wanted. From hanging out with Major League Baseball players to chasing his cats around the backyard, Ozzy took on every challenge with his signature bluntness.
Here are the weirdest, funniest, and most heartwarming moments flooding social media.

Ozzy Osbourne visited my magic shop. He said he'd like to buy some stink bombs. How many? All of them. I had to go through drawers finding every last one. He bought 900 of them. To sign the credit card slip I handed him a shock pen, which he thought was hilarious and bought that too. RIP

Ozzy Osbourne bought a Blues jersey in St. Louis during the 1984 Bark at the Moon Tour. Days later in Memphis, he was arrested in the jersey while staggering drunkenly on Beale Street.
Before he was released, the coolest mugshot in hockey history was taken. RIP.

In honour of the late Prince of Darkness, here's a fantastic story Rick Wakeman once told about him, on Have I Got News For You. Apologies for the TikTok-esque format, it's the only version I could find online. #OzzyOsbourneRIP pic.twitter.com/4pfb2UGBcf
