The life of Ozzy Osbourne in photos revealed after his death on 76

The story of Ozzy with the band began in Birmingham, England, after he and Geezer Butler were reunited in another group after the dissolution of weird wide. They performed together under the Polka Tulka Band Banner next to Tony Iommi and Bill Ward before resuming their group group.

“Everything changed when Butler came to the band with an idea for a song inspired by a disturbing appearance,” the The official website of the band shares. “A fan of horror films and the Black Magic theme novels by Dennis Wheatley, he briefly flirted with the Black Arts. But when he saw what he believed as a figure of the dark side at the foot of his bed one night, he put his dabbling in the goth world.”

Osbourne and his bandmates then composed a song entitled “Black Sabbath”, which was inspired by the 1963 Boris Karloff film of the same name.

The history page adds: “It caused a reaction in the audience in contrast to something else in their repertoire, and they knew they had come across something powerful and unique. Forced to change their name because there was already another band called Earth, they made an obvious choice: Black Sabbath.”

In the midst of the towering career of Black Sabbath, Ozzy started working on solo projects between the end of 1977 and early 1978. He stopped the band forever after their Never Say Die! Tour, who ran from May 1978 to December 1978.

Nevertheless, the original four members reined several times, including live Aid in 1985 and during their farewell trip, the end, in 2016.
