Ozzy Osbourne, the Birmingham-born frontman of Black Sabbath and a defining force in heavy metal, has died at the age of 76. His death marks the end of a chaotic and influential career that helped shape the sound and image of modern rock.
One of the most notorious moments of his life was the bat-biting incident. It was once dismissed as rock folklore but was later confirmed and publicly regretted by Osbourne himself.
