Feelin salty today so caveat lector
Sabbath put out some great records early on and then well up to you but Ozzy became a sad joke under the thumb of his svengali wife. Got lucky recruiting Randy Rhoads who outshined Ozzie's already ruined voice.
When he got violent, Sharon would take her revenge, like the time she took a hammer to all his gold records.
But seven years after their wedding, Ozzy tried to strangle Sharon while high on drugs and Russian vodka, at their 17th Century home in Little Chalfont, Bucks.
The family had gone to their bedrooms after returning from a local Chinese restaurant to celebrate Aimee’s sixth birthday.
Before lunging at Sharon, Ozzy stripped naked and told her: “We’ve had a little talk and it’s clear that you have to die.”
She pressed the panic button, alerting the police.
Ozzy woke up in a cell the next morning with no recollection of the attack, to find he had been charged with attempted murder.
Three months later, ahead of his court case, Sharon visited the rehab centre where Ozzy had been sent to dry out.
In his autobiography, Ozzy recalled how she told him: “I’m going to drop the charges. I don’t believe you’re capable of attempted murder, Ozzy."
Former slaughterhouse worker Ozzy claimed to have killed his family’s cats while high.
He recalled: “I was taking drugs so much I was a f***ed.
“The final straw came when I shot all our cats.
“We had about 17, and I went crazy and shot them all.
“My wife found me under the piano in a white suit – a shotgun in one hand and a knife in the other.”
