This week we wish Ozzy Osborne a very happy birthday!

by Eryl Hardman

Born in Birmingham on the 3 December 1948 Ozzy (born John Michael Osbourne)  is an English singer, songwriter, and television personality.  He rose to prominence during the 1970s as the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, during which period he adopted the nickname “Prince of Darkness”. With his wife Sharon, they are considered to be one of the richest couples in the world. Not bad for a Brummie who left school at 15 and has done various jobs such as a car factory horn-tuner, and abattoir worker!
