Without Ozzy, there is no me.

KISS:
We have lost a legend. From Sabbath to Blizzard and onward Ozzy has impacted countless bands and that will not end. KISS was humbled to be an opening band for Sabbath in the mid 70’s. Through decades I’ve known him, Ozzy has always been a kind and very funny soul. Fly high now. pic.twitter.com/iyO0Juz7dL

Vernon Reid (Living Colour):
Ozzy Osborne.
Black Sabbath.
Broke EVERY rule. Especially their own.
Ozzy Osborne was Larger Than Life in ways that defy mere description.
Feared. Beloved. Revered
Metal began with Him.
As well as its ensuing Panic.
He changed EVERYTHING.
Farewell To The The King !
👑 🖤

All That Remains:
There is no heavy metal without Ozzy. His voice, his presence, his legacy, untouchable. From Sabbath to his solo work, Ozzy shaped the genre in ways that can never be overstated. We all owe him everything.
Rest in power, legend.
