British rock star known for extravagant if crude showmanship. Ozzy, his wife Sharon and their three kids debuted a "reality" TV show of their daily life in 2002 that became a cultural phenomenon, a 21st century combination of "All in the Family" and PBS’s "An American Family", both of which were popular in the early ‘70s. Breakthrough programs, "reality shows" often portray the dark side of everyday life in contrast to the family shows of prior days. The Osbournes may be accused of deification of family dysfunction with rebellion and déclassé vulgarity, but a family that nonetheless is an enduring unit. The Show Debut was on the East Coast, 3/05/2002 @ 10:30 PM EST. Ozzie was formerly married to Thelma Reilly with whom he had two kids. In his early years he was imprisoned for burglary and worked in slaughterhouses before forming the heavy metal band that became "Black Sabbath." His claim to the disenfranchised came from occult-inspired lyrics and biting off the head of a bat onstage. On December 7, 2003, Osbourne had an accident while riding his all-terrain vehicle on the grounds of his Buckinghamshire, England estate and suffered several broken bones including a cervical vertebra and eight ribs. He had stopped breathing and had no pulse when he was revived by a security guard. The next day he underwent emergency surgery to repair a broken collarbone that was apparently resting on a major artery, interrupting blood flow to Osbourne’s arm. On December 15 it was announced that he had made British music chart history by scoring a number one single 33 years after his first hit. On the morning of November 22, 2004, burglars broke into his English country home and stole a large amount of jewelry. Ozzy pursued the two thieves but they escaped. Neither Ozzy nor his wife, who was also home at the time, were hurt. Link to Wikipedia biography Read less
