“His abuse of drugs and alcohol makes Keith Richards look like a choir boy.”
Sounds like you are way underestimating Keith Richards’ drug abuse.
His list included heroin. Ozzy as I’ve heard never was a heroin addict.
“His list included heroin. Ozzy as I’ve heard never was a heroin addict.”
When Keith was busted in Toronto for possession of heroin in 1977 he entered a drug rehab center and pretty much cleaned himself up. The reason? Keith said he loved the Stones more than he loved drugs. He was looking at serious prison time and couldn’t imagine life without the band.
Not to say Keith hasn’t dabbled in drugs since but he hasn’t been a serious user.
Ozzy, on the other hand, has never seriously worked at cleaning up.
In his own words.....”Speaking to The Sun, Ozzy had said: “I overdosed on drugs many times so I am lucky to be here anyway. I’ve had so many brushes with death that I’m the Comeback Kid. If I was a cat I’d have 33 lives.”
