RIP Oz 🖤

I’ve only just found the words.

I was at the final Sabbath/Ozzy show in Birmingham at Villa Park last month. And fuck. What a show. Like walking into a dream. Singing the words back to Oz as he gave it his all… it was moving in a way I can’t fully explain. He killed it. Everyone in that place wanted him to feel how much he was loved. A true privilege to be there.

Gojira tearing it up. Steven Tyler on Whole Lotta Love. Yungblud ripping Changes. Twelve full hours of chills.

Then came the news. Which, in the context of just having seen him, floored me. Ozzy scared the shit out of me as a kid, in the best way. He was one of those who opened me up to the freedom of rock ’n’ roll.

Just adding another drop of love to the sea of affection for him. RIP Oz. 🖤 J.
