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 !🦇
