Kinda funny that after everything he did Parkinsons was what got him.
What’s amazing is that 75.8 is the life expectancy of men in the US and he managed to cross it with the lifestyle he had.
Well it's 78.8 in the UK

#92Wow the last Black Sabbath show really was the last one.
This makes me wonder if Ozzy will have one last appearance at Wacken, like Lemmy did.

#93I’m coming in from a position of ignorance here, so I was hoping the community would help me understand: the only thing I know about Ozzy is that he’s bitten the heads off of various animals, including doves and bats. That happened before I was even born. But, looking over the comments, no one seems to be talking about it. My question is, is it just not a big deal? If someone did that today, they’d be crucified in th…
He's in everyone's good graces because he's now known as a kookie old man from the MTV show _The Osbournes_ that aired in the mid-2000's. Same reason why Michael Jackson, arguably the most famous person of the 90s, isn't as popular after his death given his reclusiveness and scandals. We tend to remember stars for the last impact that they had — not what they started off with.

#95I’m a child of the early 80s and I consider myself fortunate to see the “original” Black Sabbath lineup at Ozzfest in Milton Keynes (2001). I was convinced I was witnessing his last gig not just because of his age but due to him tipping buckets of ice water over himself and the various electrical equipment on stage. What a gig though. What a showman. I’m surprised he lasted this long to be honest.
RIP prince of darkness, you mad, mad bastard.

They passed a law introducing it in a few years' time. There's a statutory system of death panels that needs to be implemented.
I'm opposed to medically assisted dying but based on your use of "death panels" I'm assuming you come at it from a different perspective. How is a "death panel" different from businesses deciding who gets food or health treatment?
I'm also opposed to assisted suicide. At the moment "death panels" are largely imaginary. If this law passes it will introduce actual death panels which dispense actual death as a "treatment". I don't really understand your question, probably because I'm not coming from where you think I'm coming from.

#97I met him in a "Bark at the Moon" contest and shook his hand. Not sure he noticed, lol! Anyway, Bark at the Moon is one of his top songs! Here's howling in sorrow for you Ozzy, RIP.

In Switzerland, (public) health services are not businesses. And I don't think anyone in our system makes money from encouraging people's deaths. We also have assisted suicide services. They're a public association that brings penthobarbital to your place and assists you during your suicide.

#99Sang at his farewell concert, raised $190 million for childrens charity. Traveled to Switzerland and offed himself before parkinsons ravaged him. An aristocratic death

Re: Ozzy Osbourne has died
#100One of my favorite Ozzy moments had nothing to do with his music, but was equally awesome. He was on the Howard Stern radio show shortly after 9/11:
Howard: Ozzy, what are your thoughts around 9/11?
Ozzy: It was terrible; one of those things you'll always remember where you were and what you were doing when you first heard the news.
Howard: Where were you when you first heard about 9/11?
Ozzy: I can't bloody remember.
I'm sure it was staged, but it really hit the spot for me after all the tragedy of 9/11. RIP Ozzy.
