Ozzy Osbourne Tickets & 2024 Tour Dates
While he may now be known for the hit television show that made his wife and children stars, Ozzy Osbourne will long be remembered as one of the pioneers of heavy metal in the 1970s with Black Sabbath. Ever since, The Prince of Darkness, as he is affectionately known, has been one of the most popular solo acts in the world, and has sold more than 32 million albums.
Black Sabbath was one of the most popular bands of the '70s, as their first two albums were immediate successes. Thanks to Osbourne's goosebump-inducing vocals on songs like "Paranoid" and "War Pigs," he band became synonymous with heavy metal. Despite their immense popularity, there was tension among its members and Ozzy left the band in 1979 to embark on a solo career.
