Mere weeks after playing his final show, it has happened. One of the most iconic voices and instrumental figures in metal, the Prince Of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne, has fallen. And if you’re a rock, metal or general music fan, you’re likely crestfallen like the rest of us.
The fact is, for anyone born before years started coming with the number two at their start, Ozzy was a part of our lives. Some may remember him mainly for his solo career, or stint as a reality TV star. But, for me personally, he was one of the instrumental factors that not just launched my love of music, but my ongoing love of hi-fi – especially vinyl.
