He may never be able to perform live again due to his back injury. https://twitter.com/ozzyosbourne/status/1620678367812124672?s=46&t=tQbw-Q41lVwB4bpofSYhhw
Am I the only one wondering if some opiods and alcohol could fix his back pain? People are not showing up to see sober Ozzy. He spent all his life wasted and now that he is actually in pain he cannot take an oxy or two? I am not saying he has to perform. FFS retire and enjoy your life. Pop a couple of pills and relax without pain because you are Ozzy and you already fucked your shit up.
Nearly 20 years ago I shot Ozzfest and some of his traveling crew told us that the reason he always used water hoses and buckets to splash himself and the crowd is because he was incontinent and the water hid his peed pants.
Ozzy and Judas Priest were the prime targets of rock n' roll censorship (with some Satanic panic thrown in) in the 80's. Republicans and Democrats joined forces on that shit. That was the last time "wokism from the left" was a genuine threat, and it got kicked in the dick by Frank Zappa and John Denver. That's right, John goddamned Denver. Kermit's singing pal. "Wokism" is the new "Satan is after your kids". Suckers.
I went to Ozzfest in NJ back in 02 or 03. Saw him perform, he did throw water on himself. I thought it was because it was pretty hot that day. You ruined the memory for me.
According to the crew, he reeks of urine much of the time. My position was always running camera at the lip of the stage. I made sure to be well away from him when he brought out the water, both to protect the camera and to keep from getting peewater on me.
We were pretty close to the stage. The stage was elevated to where we were standing. The area we were standing in was sort of a circular pit. About 40 feet wide, around three feet deep. The area on front of the stage just had a short wall. There were steps you took to get down into the pit area. Sure to the hoses and buckets, there was about 1/2 inch of water in the pit. So yeah, I was standing in Ozzy's piss water. I feel dirty. I couldn't smell him from where I was though. About two or three hours later there was a thunder storm, the pit but then had about two feet of water in it. There were a bunch of New Jersey rednecks splashing around in it, I forget who was playing on the stage when they were doing that. So they were splashing around in Ozzy piss water.
