Additional notes
Currently enjoying megastar status due to an MTV docu-sitcom starring the man himself and his family called "The Osbournes." Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne used to hold a reality show on MTV called "Battle For Ozzfest".
Ozzy Osbourne was also guest vocals for Rob Zombie's solo project and for Black Label Society.
