Ozzy Osbourne, a famous singer of heavy metal, died at the age of 76 – just a few weeks after performing in the last official concert of Black Sabbath. He also enjoyed a strong solo career as well as fame, which went beyond music. That included strokes as a real -way superstar thanks to the successful MTV series The OsbournesBut also as a touching figure for fans, who have respected their famous ancients over the years as “the Prince of Darkness.”
While many Obities will come out today highlighting Osbourne’s many contributions to music, it is also worth remembering their contributions to culture even outside the stage. His status as a metal superstar meant his influence filtered into adjacent resources – including video games: he appeared in a World of Warcraft commercial and had songs included in A guitar hero.
He also became something of an anti -cultural hero, especially during the ”Satan panic“Era from the 1980s and beyond, when the powers captured by alleged hidden meanings in his songs – and fans found their own sources of strength in music, which prompted listeners to expand their mind beyond the status quo.
Movies and television programs looking to create characters with similarly nasty views often attached to Black Sabbath’s songs and artwork as abbreviated to deliver that – or just used the melodies as they made sense in a matter of time. What would Marvel do Iron man Without that “iron man” needle, to name one example?
It was known that Osbourne had serious health problems, which were evident on stage at the farewell concert “Back to the beginning” earlier in July – but considering the colorful way as he lived his life (his Behind the music Episode offers a live printer), we were lucky to have him as long as we were. Horns to a legend whose voice will live forever.
