No shit!

Wow.

I’m glad he got a farewell. No more pain too. I see it as a victory, not a loss, for once. Smoke a bowl and listen to Master of Reality…

Parkinsons claims another..... That's what my fiance's late husband died of. To quote her "It's fucked up"

RIP. Honestly I don't have much interest in that final Sabbath set in practice, but on principle I'm so grateful he got to feel the love in the biggest way in his hometown (and just as importantly, that Bill Ward did too).

Damn. I learned how to play guitar by sitting down with a cassette of Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid” and stopping, rewinding, and playing until I got all the riffs on the album down.

One of the first, true old school metal CD I had in my hands was Sabbath Blody Sabbath. What a record, unfortunately stolen, but still in my memory as an introduction to the "heavy metal". RIP you crazy beautiful man, dear Ozzy.

Bark at the moon and Speak of the Devil was my introduction to Ozzy. Been a huge fan ever since. Apparently, he went out on his own terms. Assisted suicide in Switzerland.

Black Sabbath riffs were probably the first ones my guitar teacher taught me many years ago. The godfathers of metal. RIP

So weird, on the drive in to work this morning I was listening to the radio and some guy called up to request Black Sabbath with Dio "Heaven and Hell." It's a long track and I'm surprised they played it. This was before the news.

I like Dio but he's no replacement for Ozzy, esp in the 70's

That explains how close it was to his farewell concert

Only thing I’ve seen about assisted suicide is some quotes from Sharon over a decade ago about them having a suicide pact of either of them developed Alzheimer’s. In a later interview Sharon distanced herself from that, saying that suffering is part of life.
If he did opt for assisted suicide, I’m glad he went out on his own terms after a proper sendoff and celebration of his life and legacy. Until we know— if we ever do -I’ll hold off on speculating.

I had also read they were talking about it in a family podcast? Sharon watched her dad waste away, is how the pact got started. But, yeah, I’d like to know the details as well.

Ok, I found this. It wasn’t assisted suicide.

My very first. "Iron Man" on a classical with two strings left I found in grandma's attic.

But if a man yells "OZZY!!!" in a crowded room and I is he really gone?

I could give less of a shit about the small details of how Ozzy died. He lived and loved larger than any of us ever will.

He made it to his final curtain calll when he didn’t think he would or could. He raised an astronomical and record amount of money for a cause he deemed just, and he died surrounded by people who loved him so. That’s good enough. He will never truly die. RIP Ozzy.

I have no ambition to hear about the small pieces because the bigger ones eclipse them tenfold. Respect forever.
