Ozzy Osbourne has been sued for copyright over social media posts with unlicensed photos of himself.

As per Billboard, Photographer Neil Zlozower is suing Osbourne for using his pictures on social media without permission. The lawsuit that was filed in Los Angeles, claims Ozzy posted several images, including ones with Zakk Wylde and Randy Rhoads, on Facebook, Instagram, and X without paying or asking for permission.

The lawsuit said, “The accounts are key components of defendant’s popular and lucrative commercial enterprise. Defendant has over 12 million followers on [Facebook], and over 6 million followers on [Instagram], and over 5 million followers on [X] — all of which are monetized and provide significant financial benefits to defendant.”

Zlozower’s team tried to contact Ozzy multiple times, but he didn’t respond. Now, Zlozower has asked the court to step in due to the copyright violation. Ozzy has not responded yet.

In other news from the singer, a new track by Ozzy Osbourne and Billy Morrison, ‘Gods Of Rock N Roll,’ has reached Number 26 on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, via Forbes.

The song, a reworked version of their 2015 track ‘Gods,’ features a 61-piece orchestra and choir.

It premiered on Ozzy’s SiriusXM channel and will be released to the public on February 14, along with a video. The song will also appear on the deluxe edition of Billy Morrison’s ‘The Morrison Project’ on February 21.
