Ozzy informed his son Jack on an episode of their travel series that he wasn't singing in praise of Satan, rather he was trying to warn people about him.
I bet the whole band dabbled in it though. Satanism and black magic was a trendy thing amongst rock bands in the 70’s. Jimmy Page in particular was involved for a time, buying and living in Aleister Crowley’s house. Geezer Butler tells of an incident in the late 70’s where he awoke to see a dark figure looming over the foot of his bed in the middle of the night. He described it like “a hooded spectre”. Said he got this sense of “Pledge allegiance or piss off” from it. Said he was much more wary of stuff like witchcraft after that. I imagine most of them eventually went back to church after the lives they lived.

I guess the grand finale was the last clause in his contract with the Devil.

Yep, really makes you wonder if this was an "assisted" death. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's and did a last performance. Maybe wanted to go out on his own terms?

Tony Iommi was the main member of Sabbath who dabbled in it early on. Tony had a first addition, leather bound, satanic bible (by Crowley I think) that he was studying. He tells a story to this day that one night he was asleep and dreaming a wild dream when he woke up. He says he sat up in bed, looked to the foot of the bed where the book was on a table, and it was levitating and glowing.
That was the end of his delve into the dark religion/arts. The next morning he burned the book, quite valuable actually, in the back yard so that no one else would experience what he had.
ETA: Maybe it was Geezer. I always thought it was Tony.

Statement Released by The Alamo, who ever that is 
"We at the Alamo are saddened to hear of the passing of legendary musician Ozzy Osbourne. His relationship with the Alamo was marked initially by a deeply disrespectful incident in 1982. This act profoundly and rightfully upset many who hold this site sacred.
However, redemption and reconciliation eventually became part of his history as well. In 1992, Ozzy personally apologized to then-Mayor Nelson Wolff and expressed genuine remorse for his actions. Decades later, in 2015, he revisited the Alamo grounds to learn and appreciate the site's profound history, openly demonstrating humility and understanding.
At the Alamo, we honor history in all its complexities. Today, we acknowledge Ozzy Osbourne's journey from regret to reconciliation at the historic site, and we extend our condolences to his family, friends, and fans around the world. May he rest in peace."
RIP Ozzy, it is hell to get old and see so many voices from your teens passing on to the other side.

You aren't familiar with The Alamo?

His music was incredibly influential on me, but truthfully, that was almost completely Randy. And of course, it’s amazing he made it as long as he did.
It’s not a coincidence that Ozzy has gone through so many band members, but one thing has always remained consistent - great songs. Ozzy collaborated with his musicians to write songs. I recently heard an interview with Zakk Wylde in which he credited Ozzy’s innate ability to craft melodies - and the melody is the hook of a song. Zakk said that while he wrote the guitar parts, Ozzy would hum a melody to him and give him the framework of the song. There’s a reason Ozzy has consistently put out great music, and that reason is Ozzy.
In contrast, Dio was a trained musician and often wrote his music on piano. And he credited his powerful voice to the breathing techniques of his trumpet training. I’m a huge fan of both guys, but Ozzy’s catalog of songs far surpasses Dio’s imo, and that’s largely due to Ozzy’s talent for melody.

Ozzy lived large.
My daughters think it was assisted suicide, which makes sense in his situation. If so, he went out the way he wanted to and in control of the situation.

GOAT of partying...
Made some amazing music. One of the all time greats.. Did it for so long and in the beginning really wasn't even a singer.

Sabbath and his solo stuff was big part of my music growing up.
We all knew his time was limited for awhile now but still sucks.
RIP

Yeah, I grew up in San Antonio and have no idea what the Alamo is. I was referring to the "Alamo" releasing a statement, never seen a fort talk before.

I’m at an work conference in Nashville. Apparently everyone at my table got the message at the same time because we all looked down at our phones and then back up at each other with shocked faces.
I mean, it’s not surprising to hear he’s passed. But still, as a child of the 70s and 80s, Ozzy is just one of those that you can’t imagine the world without them.
