In his own words: Ozzy Osbourne on his legacy
The late heavy metal icon spoke with Tom Power in 2022 about how he hopes to be remembered
Yesterday, Ozzy Osbourne passed away at age 76. The Black Sabbath frontman will be remembered for his music, his antics on stage and his family's reality television show, The Osbournes.
In 2022, Tom Power sat down with the Prince of Darkness to discuss his new album at the time, Patient Number 9. They also spoke about his love for his wife, Sharon, how he survived his addictions to drugs and alcohol, and his legacy.
Just three years before Osbourne's death, Power asked the rockstar: 100 years from now, which of his many songs does he want people to remember him by?
"Ask me in about five albums from now," Osbourne replied.
"You think you haven't made it yet?" Power asked.
"No."
"That's good. You're telling me that you still have a lot in the tank."
"I still do."
Sadly, we will never get those five more albums from Osbourne, whose last album was the one he spoke with Power about. Rest in peace, Ozzy.
