Sad night for me Lana.
I think you all know here that I am a massive Sabbath fan.
But he said his farewel to his fans in his beloved Villa Park before he left us.
And I wouldn't be surprised if he left this world on his own terms like Bowie did .
Only seen him once with Sabbath but they will always be my favourite band of all time.
RIP OZZY !🦇
