Thats bullshit.

He tried to kill Sharon.

He should have been in prison for attempted murder

If your father tried to kill your mother, youkd you say "oh but he changed in his latr years?"

If he had, yes. Unless you know the man, you’re not in a position to judge either way. Sharon was. And she stayed. Has to count for something.

I read sharon's book about it, written in her own words.

She left him for a long time over that incident actually. She eventually forgave him. Victims of domestic abuse often go back .

@SilenceOfTheTimTams that made both me and my DP laugh out loud 🤣🤣🤣🤣

We are all grey areas, not black/white formulated and all of us can redeem ourselves in our lifetime, thank fuck.
PETA thanked Ozzy for his work in condemning declawing and paid tribute when he passed.

I have a feeling they didn’t know he killed 17 cats in one killing spree. Can you imagine what a blood bath that must have been? Then they got some poor woman to clear up the mess.

As an animal rightist and supporter of PETA it sounds like he was deeply contrite for what he had done and that's good enough for me if it's good enough for them. RIP Ozzy and the 17 cats.

Black Sabbath indeed !

People go to prison for less.

Flumpflimpo · 23/07/2025 23:02

He should have been in jail.

Of course his fame got him out.

Remember that paedophile in the band , the lostprophets.

His ex girlfriend said that she tried to report him for years, but the police wouldnt believe her for years, as he was famous.

The Prince of Darkness sat on his throne at Back to the Beginning concert. Probably made him very happy to perform with Black Sabbath one last time at Aston. Maybe took a lot out of him but kudos to Ozzy for donating money from last concert to local Aston charities. RIP Ozzy.

Don't do drugs.

Just watched the movie about Mötley Crue. That kind of degeneracy appears to go with the territory. There's a scene in it where Ozzie snorts ants off a poolside table.

I’m a clairvoyant and psychic empath. I can commune with the spirits of the dead. I hear their voices calling to us on this side of the Great Divide.

Ozzy’s been in touch. He says:

Fookin’ Hell! Why am I getting shit from Mumsnet posters who never knew me or Sharon or the kids? Fookin’ tossers. I’m coming to haunt the lot of them, with me bat mate.

It’s gone whispery now and I can’t make it out. I think he’s having a giggle with Lemmy.

Brilliant.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 22/07/2025 19:13

Cause of death?

His family have not mentioned cause of death but we don't need to know anyway as nothing to do with us.

I read some of the Motley Crue book The Dirt and wish I hadn’t - horrible band

Good! He had a vile track record of animal abuse..As recently as lockdown he was shooting cats and birds in his garden.

Most of them are horrible. I love the music of Lynryd Skynryd but they had a horrible habit of trashing hotels. What's that all about?

Standard behaviour in the 70s by artists. Until they found out they were paying for the damage. Guitar player Joe Walsh used to have a chainsaw on tour to rearrange his room. He had accountants to pay for it all.

The Dirt.
Long periods of boredom between shows and fuelled by drugs/alcohol and no one to say no led to some crazy things. Led Zeppelin with the fish plus other antics, The Who, The Rolling Stones all paved the way for debauchery that the younger acts carried on. Positively encouraged in some circles.

And his Maserati did 185 😊

Mrsbloggz · 24/07/2025 12:06

I think part of the problem is the rise to fame and being treated like gods, the human psyche tends to become dysfunctional when we are treated like gods.
Another way of saying that power corrupts I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

YourAmplePlumPoster · 24/07/2025 12:31

One of the backing singers of Lynryd Skynryd said she was sick of being thrown out of hotels because of the boys behaviour because all she wanted to do was sleep after a gig. I can't imagine female acts doing this kind of thing.

Haha. The mudshark as immortalised in the song by Frank Zappa.

Boys together. What happens on tour stays on tour. Women freely available along with everything else. Prob happens less now with SM but back then life was good. Prob better now as the money at the top end is huge but female acts would just attract weird stalkers

Oh I just saw the PETA obituary via popbitch.

Appalling behaviour because they could. Underage girls in dressing rooms. One woman who was a Life Reporter said she was stripped of her clothes and thought she was going to be raped and held against her will by a well known group.
