Whether as co-founder of Black Sabbath or as a solo artist, Ozzy Osbourne spent his life and art (at least, the non-reality television part) conjuring death, summoning its spirits and welcoming its hold on heaven or hell. You know the drill: his albums were filled with graveyards, devils and bloodlust. At times Ozzy was ferocious, even if the hair metal scene of the ’80s made his dread seem garish, and his evil had a comic-book edge as time went on.
The point is, since his first album with Sabbath in 1970, Osbourne has worked death, darkness and demon seeds like a painter would oils. So to see the godfather of heavy metal, at 71, who has had to cancel a tour in the wake of a Parkinson’s diagnosis, staring down the chute of the Great Beyond with something that feels like it could be intended as a “goodbye” album is fascinating, even when it isn’t dynamic.

I don’t know why a teaser and not a full video:
Hulking actor Jason Momoa has played such memorable characters as Aquaman and Khal Drogo (Game of Thrones), but his latest role casts him as the Prince of Darkness. That’s right, the proud metalhead takes on the guise of Ozzy Osbourne while promoting the latter’s new album, Ordinary Man.

A friend of mine heard it and said it’s really good. I haven’t had a chance to hear it yet, I guess I will later on Youtube as I imagine Google as usual has ripped off the copyright and has posted to Youtube for anyone to hear for free which violates the living F out of copyright law, but hey, if immigration laws can be flouted I guess copyrights can be as well especially when it involves a multi-billion dollar corporation run by commies.

Wow that is pretty kick ass. I just may buy this album and forgo the usual Youtube rip off
I Like!
Yeah, he actually did it in 1982 thinking it was a toy bat thrown on the stage by a fan.
Spent some time getting rabies shots for it. I understand they’re painful.
Earlier, in 1981, at a meeting with CBS execs Ozzie carried two doves into the room. One he released into the room, the other he bit the head off and spat it onto the table.
Of course Ozzie was drunk off his keister at the time.
