Ozzy Osbourne Tickets Continued
Ozzy Osbourne's career began with the band Black Sabbath,
who met with swift and enduring success. Built around Tony Iommi's
driving guitar riffs and Geezer Butler's horror-laden lyrics, topped
by Ozzy Osbourne's eerie, loud vocals, their early records are
considered definitive of heavy metal. Several of their early singles,
especially "Paranoid" and "Iron Man", continue to draw significant
radio airplay to this day. Ozzy Osbourne continues to play
these hits when performing as a solo artist.
In 1979, Ozzy Osbourne was fired from Black Sabbath. It was
after this that he formed The Ozzy Osbourne Band and began his solo
career.
While very successful as a heavy metal act through the 1980s,
Ozzy Osbourne sustained commercial success into the 1990s,
starting with 1991's album No More Tears, which enjoyed much
radio and MTV exposure. Ozzy Osbourne's biggest financial
success of the 1990s was a venture named Ozzfest, created by his wife
/ manager Sharon and managed loosely by his son Jack. Ozzfest was a
quick hit with metal fans, spurring up-and-coming groups like Incubus and Slipknot to broad exposure and commercial success. Some acts even
had the pleasure to share the bill with a reformed, yet much older
Black Sabbath. Ozzy Osbourne reunited with the original members
of Sabbath in 1997 and has performed periodically with the band ever
since. Since 1997 there have been rumours of a new Black Sabbath
album, though Ozzy Osbourne has denied any further studio plans
as Black Sabbath. In 2003, Ozzy Osbourne achieved his first
ever UK #1 single, a duet of the Black Sabbath ballad, "Changes" with
daughter Kelly. In doing so, he broke the record of the longest period
between an artist's first UK chart appearance (with Black Sabbath's,
"Paranoid", #4 in August 1970) and their first #1 hit; a gap of 33
years.
