In the late ’60s, Black Sabbath, led by Osbourne, was formed, borrowing their moniker from a Mario Bava movie. Their music style drew heavily on blues, creating a dark, moody sound with haunting guitar tones and ominous lyrics that helped shape the emerging heavy metal genre. Notable albums like “Black Sabbath,” “Paranoid,” and “Master of Reality” cemented their status as trailblazers in this new music landscape, and hits such as “Paranoid” and “Iron Man” were regulars on the radio.
Ozzy Osbourne, famously known for his eccentricity and causing occasional uproars, has had some unconventional moments.
