Legendary Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne has been forced to cancel and postpone shows recently due to sad health issues, but in a recent Metal Hammer interview, he insists that he is 100% clean and sober.
“Well, I don’t drink anymore, I don’t smoke [cigarettes] anymore, I don’t do drugs anymore, and you know what? I like it!”
He chuckles, “I never thought I’d see the day when Ozzy Osbourne says he prefers being clean and sober, but so far, so good! When I first tried being sober I did think, ‘I’m better than I was before!’”
He later said, “I’m definitely singing better than I have been. When I was hungover all the fucking time, it was really bad, you know?”
“To be honest with you, it’d be nice to say it wasn’t my fault, but it was. No one ever said, ‘Ozzy, drink as much as you fucking can, you’ve got a gig tomorrow!’ On these last few gigs, I’ve had a couple of rough ones along the way but most of them were great. I’ve been thinking, ‘Why now? I’m nearly fucking 70!’ I keep pinching myself.”
Ozzy Osbourne is a true rock and roll survivor overcoming his drug addiction and alcoholism. Hopefully he is here for many years to come!
