Legendary Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne discussed A-list drug dealer ‘rock star’ Pablo Escobar being shot to death over his drug dealing in a new SiriusXM interview with Billy Idol bandmate Billy Morrison. Ozzy Osbourne revealed his fear of going broke yesterday. Alternative Nation transcribed their comments.
Billy Morrison: Have you seen the one, there’s an English guy who gets dropped off in the middle of Medellin in Columbia, just him and a cameraman, to meet the cartels and have a chat with them.
Ozzy Osbourne: They’re all rock stars, that one guy who got shot on the roof.
Billy Morrison: [Pablo] Escobar.
Ozzy Osbourne made a sad job quitting revelation over the weekend. They continued:
Ozzy Osbourne: He had like a life sized models of dinosaurs.
Billy Morrison: He got shot on the roof.
Escobar was estimated to be worth $30 billion at one point, and at his Hacienda Napoles home, he had statues of dinosaurs and other animals. He also had a zoo full of elephants, horses, hippos, and giraffes. Escobar was killed in 1993, and the home was seized by Colombian drug enforcement agents.
Escobar was killed in a shootout on December 2, 1993 as he tried to escape the Search Bloc. Hugo Martinez used radio trilateration technology to track Escobar’s radiotelephone transmissions and found that he was in Los Olivos, leading to the deadly shootout. Osbourne mentioned on the show that the fatal gunshot was to the ear. Ozzy also revealed how he passed out for a horrible reason.
