00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:13.679
In what has been an unimaginably difficult few weeks for
2
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:17.359
music lovers everywhere. I'm Garrett Fisher and we're once again
3
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:21.679
pausing to honor a legend. We've lost. Ozzy Osbourne, the
4
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:25.039
man who helped invent heavy metal, who terrorized parents and
5
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:28.719
thrilled millions of fans for over five decades, passed away
6
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:33.479
Tuesday morning after his courageous battle with Parkinson's disease. He
7
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:36.920
was seventy six years old, and remarkably, he had performed
8
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:39.880
with Black Sabbath just two weeks before his passing, at
9
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:43.640
what was billed as their final concert, a festival called
10
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:47.200
back to the Beginning in their hometown of Birmingham, England.
11
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:50.000
As his family said in their statement, it is with
12
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:52.920
more sadness than mere words can convey that we have
13
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.799
to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away
14
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:59.320
this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love,
15
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:04.079
and indeed we share in that grieve because Ozzie wasn't
16
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.400
just a musician. He was a cultural force who fundamentally
17
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:10.599
changed what rock music could be and do, who proved
18
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:15.120
that authenticity and wildness could coexist with genuine musical innovation.
19
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:20.000
James Michael Osbourne was born on December third, nineteen forty eight,
20
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:23.439
in Birmingham, England, into a working class family, where he
21
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:27.120
was one of six children. His early life was marked
22
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:29.760
by the kind of struggles that would later inform his music,
23
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.040
economic hardship, limited opportunities, and a sense of being an
24
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:36.959
outsider in a world that didn't seem to have much
25
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.200
room for people like him. After dropping out of school
26
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.079
at fifteen, he worked as a manual laborer and briefly
27
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:46.920
turned to petty crime, even serving six weeks in jail
28
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:51.799
for burglary, but music provided an escape route. Young Ozzy
29
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.239
was an early Beatles fan and had performed in school operettas,
30
00:01:55.599 --> 00:02:00.120
showing an interest in performance that would eventually reshape his life.
31
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:04.079
At nineteen, he joined forces with bassis Terrence Geezer Butler
32
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:06.640
in a local band, and they were soon joined by
33
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:10.919
guitarist Tony Iomi and drummer Bill Ward, former members of
34
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:15.439
a group called Mythology. Originally called Earth, they were forced
35
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:17.520
to change their name when they discovered another band with
36
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:21.879
the same name, eventually settling on Black Sabbath. After director
37
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:26.319
Mario Baba's nineteen sixty three horror anthology. This wasn't just
38
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:29.199
the formation of another band, It was the creation of
39
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:33.439
something entirely new in popular music. What Black Sabbath invented
40
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:36.560
in those early days wasn't just heavier than what came before.
41
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:42.080
It was fundamentally different, addressing themes of darkness, alienation, and
42
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:45.280
horror that rock music had rarely explored with such intensity
43
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:50.000
and authenticity. Black Sabbath's self titled debut album was released
44
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:54.800
in nineteen seventy, fittingly on Friday the thirteenth. The Murky
45
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:58.360
Morbid LP was widely reviled by critics who didn't understand
46
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:00.840
what they were hearing, but it became a top ten
47
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:03.759
hit in Britain and reached number twenty three in the US,
48
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.360
proving that audiences were hungry for something raw and more
49
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.680
honest than the peace and love messaging that dominated much
50
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:14.599
late sixties music. But it was their follow up Paranoid
51
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:19.639
that truly established Black Sabbath as a revolutionary force. The
52
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:22.439
album topped the UK charts and reached number twelve in
53
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:27.759
the US, containing several tracks that would become metal standards warpigs,
54
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:32.800
the title track Paranoid, Hand of Doom, and what ultimately
55
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:37.960
became their signature song iron Man. These weren't just heavy songs.
56
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:42.719
They were manifestos of alienation and social criticism, delivered with
57
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:48.000
unprecedented musical power. As critic Deborah Frost wrote when Black
58
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:50.560
Sabbath was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of
59
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:54.319
Fame in two thousand and six, black Sabbath simply oozed
60
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:59.120
upon us, unfestooned by any pretense of art, peace, love, understanding,
61
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:04.199
or mushroom androitery, and immediately defined heavy metal. That phrase
62
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:10.599
simply oozed upon us perfectly captures how revolutionary their sound was.
63
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.800
This wasn't music that announced itself with fanfare. It emerged
64
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:19.600
from the underground like something primal and unstoppable. Throughout the
65
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:23.639
early nineteen seventies, Black Sabbath continued to define and refine
66
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:28.120
the heavy metal sound. Albums like Master of Reality nineteen
67
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:31.959
seventy one, which hit number eight in America and included
68
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:36.319
the crowd pleasing pot anthem Sweet Leave, and Sabbath Bloody
69
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:40.839
Sabbath nineteen seventy three, demonstrated their ability to evolve while
70
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:45.720
maintaining their essential power. Ozzie's vocals were crucial to this success.
71
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.720
His voice could convey both the horror of the lyrics
72
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:52.319
and an underlying vulnerability that made the darkness feel human
73
00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:57.600
rather than cartoonish. But success came with a price. The
74
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:01.519
band's legendary substance abuse problems per particularly Ozzie's struggles with
75
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.439
drugs and alcohol, began taking their toll by the mid
76
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:10.040
nineteen seventies. Albums like Sabotage nineteen seventy five and Technical
77
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:15.439
Ecstasy nineteen seventy six showed declining commercial performance and creative focus,
78
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.920
though they contained moments of brilliance that influenced countless metal
79
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:23.079
bands who followed. The internal tensions culminated in nineteen seventy
80
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:26.319
seven when Ozzie briefly left the band, only to return
81
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:31.279
for nineteen seventy eight's Never Say Die, an ironically titled
82
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:33.519
album that seemed to mark the end of an era.
83
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:39.800
Released during the Punk Revolution, the album felt dated upon arrival,
84
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.680
and the subsequent tour was plagued by problems, including a
85
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:47.399
riot in Nashville when Ozzie overslept and missed the show.
86
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:51.800
By early nineteen seventy nine, his Black Sabbath bandmates had
87
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:55.399
had enough, firing their iconic frontman and replacing him with
88
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:58.920
Ronnie James Dio. What Happened Next was one of rock
89
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:03.839
music's greatest second acts. Ozzie's solo career, managed by Sharon Arden,
90
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:06.879
whom he would marry in nineteen eighty two, not only
91
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:10.600
restored his commercial fortunes, but actually surpassed his success with
92
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:14.720
Black Sabbath. His nineteen eighty debut, Blizzard of Oz, reached
93
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:18.399
number twenty one in the US and went quadruple platinum,
94
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:22.240
introducing the world to the spectacular guitar work of Randy
95
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:27.000
Rhoades and containing one of Ozzy's most enduring anthem's Crazy Train.
96
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:32.439
The album also sparked controversy with Suicide Solution, which prompted
97
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.560
a lawsuit from parents who claimed the song had influenced
98
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:40.040
their teenage son's suicide. The case was ultimately dismissed, but
99
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:43.839
it established a pattern that would follow Ozzy throughout his career,
100
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:47.759
his willingness to explore dark themes that other artists avoided,
101
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:52.160
and society's complex relationship with art that refused to sanitize
102
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:57.680
difficult emotions. Tragedy struck in nineteen eighty two when Randy
103
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:01.079
Rhodes was killed in a plane crash in Florida. Rhodes
104
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:03.519
had been more than just Ozzi's guitarist. He was a
105
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:07.519
musical partner who brought classical influences and technical sophistication to
106
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:12.120
Ozzie's wild vision. His death was devastating personally and professionally,
107
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:17.600
but Ozzie persevered, eventually finding another crucial collaborator in Zach Wilde,
108
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.839
whose powerful playing would define much of Ozzie's work throughout
109
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:24.399
the late nineteen eighties and nineteen nineties. Albums like No
110
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:28.040
Rest for the Wicked nineteen eighty eight, No More Tears
111
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:33.120
nineteen ninety one, and Osmosis in nineteen ninety five proved
112
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:38.120
that Ozzie could continue evolving and finding new audiences. His
113
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:42.000
only major hit single, Closed My Eyes Forever, a nineteen
114
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:46.199
eighty eight duet with Leedaford, reached number six and introduced
115
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:49.240
him to MTV audiences who might not have encountered his
116
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:54.480
heavier material. Perhaps most importantly, Sharon Osbourne's creation of oz
117
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:58.639
Fest in nineteen ninety six transformed Ozzy from a successful
118
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:02.600
solo artist into the senate of a cultural institution. When
119
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:06.639
the Lollapalooza festival declined Ozzy's services, Sharon created a metal
120
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:10.800
festival built around his participation. What started as a two
121
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:13.600
day event in Arizona in California became one of the
122
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:17.439
top grossing touring festivals in the world, launching the careers
123
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:20.959
of countless metal bands and cementing Ozzy's status as the
124
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:25.199
godfather of the genre. But perhaps Ozzy's most unexpected cultural
125
00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:28.680
impact came in the early two thousands with The Osbournes,
126
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:33.000
the MTV reality show that focused on his family life.
127
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.679
The series, which won an Emmy Award in two thousand
128
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.159
and two, revealed a different side of the Prince of Darkness,
129
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:43.320
a loving, if chaotic father and husband whose family dynamics
130
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:48.039
were both completely normal and utterly bizarre. New York Times
131
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:52.519
critic Carinn James described them as a wacky, harmlessly outrageous
132
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.240
variation on every family, as full of warmth as they
133
00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:00.600
are of weirdness. The show was a cultural phenomenon that
134
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:04.000
introduced Ozzy to audiences who had never heard Black Sabbath,
135
00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:07.960
proving that his appeal transcended music. Here was the man
136
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:11.480
who had bitten the heads off bats and doves, struggling
137
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:16.279
with the universal challenges of parenting teenagers and maintaining a marriage.
138
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:21.000
The juxtaposition was both hilarious and humanizing, showing that even
139
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:24.960
the most extreme rock stars are ultimately people dealing with
140
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:29.440
the same basic life challenges as everyone else more in
141
00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:48.000
a moment. Throughout all these career phases, Ozzie's influence on
142
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:52.279
music continued to grow. Every subsequent generation of metal bands
143
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:55.720
cited Black Sabbath as a crucial influence, from Metallica and
144
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:59.360
Slayer to more recent acts like Tool and Alice In Chains,
145
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:04.120
the heavy, downtuned guitar sound that Tony Iomi pioneered, partly
146
00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:07.600
due to industrial accidents that cost him fingertips, became the
147
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:12.080
foundation for not just metal, but eventually alternative rock, grunge,
148
00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:16.120
and numerous other genres. Even in his later years, battling
149
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:19.279
the Parkinson's disease that he publicly revealed in twenty twenty,
150
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:24.679
Ozzie continued creating albums like Ordinary Man twenty twenty and
151
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.480
Patient Number Nine twenty twenty two showed that his voice
152
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:33.039
and vision remained powerful, while his sporadic reunions with Black Sabbath,
153
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:37.360
including there twenty sixteen to seventeen Farewell Tour the End,
154
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.080
proved that the magic between the original members was still potent.
155
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:44.080
The fact that he performed just two weeks before his
156
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:47.519
passing at the Back to the Beginning festival in Birmingham,
157
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:52.080
surrounded by metal legends like Metallica, Guns n' Roses and Slayer,
158
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:57.120
feels like the perfect end to an extraordinary story. Here
159
00:10:57.159 --> 00:10:59.840
was an artist who had influenced all of these major acts,
160
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:02.879
being celebrated in his hometown by the musical family he
161
00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:08.840
had helped create. Ozzie's legacy extends far beyond his musical innovations.
162
00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:12.840
Significant as they were, he fundamentally changed how we think
163
00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:16.559
about authenticity and popular music, proving that artists didn't need
164
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:19.799
to sanitize their darkness or complexity to find massive audiences.
165
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.679
His willingness to explore themes of alienation, mental illness, addiction,
166
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:28.080
and social breakdown created space for countless artists to address
167
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:32.399
difficult subjects honestly. He also demonstrated that longevity in rock
168
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:36.960
music was possible without compromising artistic integrity. While many of
169
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.639
his contemporaries either burned out or sold out, Ozzie continued evolving,
170
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:44.679
taking creative risks and finding new ways to connect with
171
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:48.759
audiences across five decades. His late career success with the
172
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:53.879
Osbournes showed that reinvention could happen at any stage of life.
173
00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:58.919
Perhaps most importantly, Ozzie proved that being an outsider economically, socially,
174
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:02.240
culturally could be a source of strength rather than limitation.
175
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:07.480
His working class Birmingham background, his struggles with mental health
176
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:11.960
and addiction, his refusal to conform to industry expectations. All
177
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:15.279
of these potential disadvantages became the foundation for a career
178
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:19.200
that influenced millions of people who felt like outsiders themselves.
179
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:24.559
His relationship with Sharon deserves special mention, not just as
180
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.039
a love story, but as a creative partnership that redefined
181
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:32.919
how artists could control their careers. Sharon's management transformed Ozzi
182
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:36.360
from a talented but chaotic performer into a global brand,
183
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:39.919
while her creation of Ozfest showed how artists could build
184
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:43.159
their own platforms rather than waiting for industry gatekeepers to
185
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:48.600
provide opportunities. The controversies that followed Ozzi throughout his career,
186
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:53.240
the animal incidents, the arrests, the struggles with substance abuse
187
00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:56.559
might have destroyed a lesser artist, but they somehow only
188
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:00.159
added to his legend. This wasn't because audiences approved of
189
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:04.000
self destructive behavior, but because they recognized his willingness to
190
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:09.639
live authentically, even when that authenticity was messy and complicated.
191
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:14.000
Looking back on Ozzie's extraordinary life and career, what emerges
192
00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:17.159
is a portrait of someone who never stopped being himself,
193
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:21.440
regardless of the consequences. From the working class teenager who
194
00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:24.799
discovered he could sing, to the global superstar who struggled
195
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:28.320
with fame's pressures, to the family man trying to balance
196
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:33.039
public persona with private reality, to the elder statesman celebrating
197
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:37.360
with his musical descendants just weeks before his passing. Ozzi
198
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:42.159
remained fundamentally authentic throughout his music. Gave voice to feelings
199
00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:49.440
that many people experience but rarely hear expressed in popular culture. Alienation, anger, confusion,
200
00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:51.679
the struggle to find meaning in a world that often
201
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:55.080
seems meaningless. But he also celebrated the power of community,
202
00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:59.039
the joy of rebellion, and the possibility that outcasts could
203
00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:04.960
find their tribe and create something beautiful together. As we
204
00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:08.000
say goodbye to Ozzy Osbourne today, we're not just mourning
205
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:11.639
the loss of a great musician. We're acknowledging the passing
206
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:15.759
of someone who fundamentally changed what popular music could express
207
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:19.679
and accomplish. He showed us that darkness and light could coexist,
208
00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:24.559
that commercial success and artistic integrity weren't mutually exclusive, and
209
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:27.879
that being true to yourself, however strange or difficult that
210
00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:31.360
self might be, was ultimately the only path worth taking.
211
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:36.000
His family's request for privacy during this time is both
212
00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:39.440
understandable and touching as they process the loss of not
213
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:42.960
just a public figure, but a husband, father, and grandfather.
214
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:47.440
The man who terrified parents for decades was, by all accounts,
215
00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:51.360
devoted to his own family, finding in those relationships the
216
00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:54.639
stability and meaning that sustained him through all the chaos
217
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:57.840
of his public life. So today we say thank you
218
00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:02.440
to Ozzy Osbourne the Zick, for the courage to be different,
219
00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:06.240
for showing generations of misfits that they could find their
220
00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:10.399
place in the world. From black sabbaths revolutionary heaviness to
221
00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:15.080
his solo careers sustained excellence, From Ozfest's community building to
222
00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:20.559
the Osbourne's unexpected humanity, he created a legacy that will
223
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:25.480
influence artists and inspire outsiders for generations to come. The
224
00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:29.000
Prince of Darkness has left us, but his influence will
225
00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:32.960
echo forever in every heavy guitar riff, every artist who
226
00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:36.759
refuses to compromise their vision, and every person who's ever
227
00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:39.879
felt like they didn't fit in but found strength in
228
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:45.080
that difference. Rock music is infinitely richer because Ozzy Osbourne
229
00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:48.000
was brave enough to be exactly who he was, and
230
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:50.919
the world is a little less colorful now that he's gone.
231
00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:55.559
This is Garrett Fisher for hit Maker Chronicles celebrating the
232
00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:59.080
life and legacy of Ozzy Osbourne. We'll return to our
233
00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:02.840
countdown soon, but today we simply remember a true original
234
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:08.639
who proved that being yourself, however dark, however strange, however authentic,
235
00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:12.799
is the most powerful thing any artist can do. Long
236
00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:16.200
live the Prince of Darkness. His music will be forever young.
