Norman Tebbit.

80's politician and hard bastard from a working-class background who vastly improved industrial relations in the UK by giving Trade Union members a vote in how their unions were run. Wife was paralysed for life by an IRA bomb.

Malcolm Jamal Warner, who played Theo in the Cosby Show. Waaaay too young

Ozzy gone
76

[MN5]

Ozzy Osbourne, hard rocking ‘prince of darkness', dies at 76

He basically invented a genre of music along with his mates from Birmingham.

Absolute icon of what he did.

Not the best singer, but the best singer for Black Sabbath.

Legend.

Sabbath will be pumping in the car today.

RIP

[Bones]

@MN5 his best song.

[Bovidae]

RIP The Prince of Darkness.

I saw Ozzy twice, once as a solo artist and then with Sabbath.

[Victor Meldrew]

His last gig a few weeks ago raised nearly $200m for charity - staggering achievement. What a way to go out. Must have taken some serious cojones to perform like that when he was probably near the end. Salut.

Ozzy Osbourne’s final Black Sabbath concert raised $190 million for charity

Tom Morello, the event’s musical director, reported the huge fundraising total on social media

[Bovidae]

The cynic in me says that Sharon made a lot of money too!

I’ll have a think about alternatives and then reply in disagreement.

That is a goody though

As a solo artist I’d have to go

Loads of Sabbath options to consider….

[sparky]

Hopefully, this will make a reappearance for the first Home Game of the season against Newcastle in honouring of Ozzy joining the Holte Enders In The Sky.

@MN5 My favourite deep track from solo Ozzy.

All aboard

His daughter once tore into me at a club for dissing her. Needless to say, too many pills had led to a case of mistaken identity!

It was Kelly from Peckham

[MN5]

Drove to the Supermarket and did a quick blast of NIB, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Black Sabbath ( the song by the band )

Snowblind, Sweet Leaf and Fairies wear boots on the way home.

Fuck they were great.

It warms my heart he got to do it on stage a few weeks back one final time

No, she thought I was Mark Lamarr, an English comedian and radio DJ. Luckily he was standing five feet from me!
