    One of the performers who lived it large throughout his career and didn’t give a damn
    Was lucky enough to see him a few times
    RIP Oz and thanks a million
    A sad loss and a great great showman

    Ozzy was one of those great characters and showmen that I respect and admired without actually enjoying his music. I was not into Black Sabbath or his solo stuff. I did like ‘Crazy Train’ however. I only took a slight interest in Sabbath because of Bev Bevan - who used to play drums for ELO which is one of my favourite bands.
    Respect to him though - he was a great showman and entertainer.
    RIP Ozzy. <rose>

    Bev Bevans drum sound is unique and the earlier ELO albums are still wonderful today
    Jeff Lynne is also unwell and has cancelled concerts that won’t be rescheduled so I hope there’s not more bad news on the way

    I understand that Jeff Lynne broke his hand, so he can’t play his guitars.

    Ah ok. Initially that fact wasn't mentioned when I saw an update.
    It was being reported he was suffering from a systemic infection which sounded a bit dodgy

    The last Ozzy Osbourne album in 2022 has the brilliant Patient #9 track with Jeff Beck on lead guitar. It's beyond fantastic
    That's a great song among many of theirs
    For Ozzy as a solo artist, and aside from classics such as Mr Crowley, Crazy Train, Shot In The Dark, Perry Mason etc etc, listen to Patient Number 9 featuring Jeff Beck (also RIP) from 2022. Absolutely superb.
