After decades of ingesting a cornucopia of narcotics and slinging back buckets of booze, the so-called Prince of Darkness is alive and kicking.
Sure, Ozzy Osbourne (who turns 62 in December) is no longer at his physical or musical peak. He isn’t the same metal magician that first rose to fame as the front man of ’70s British hard rock band Black Sabbath.
But let’s view the bat blood-filled glass as half full: You have to admit how phenomenal the English singer’s vitality is. The guy may wear his age and hardship on the sleeves of his black trench coat, yet once on stage he’s willing to roll up those suckers to give audiences the full Ozzy experience.
Can he still spit profanities and scream like a banshee? You bet. Just like the good ‘ol days.
