Description

Ozzy Osbourne has passed away at the age of 76 - and leaves behind an incredible legacy, from his pioneering mark on heavy metal music with his band Black Sabbath, to domineering reality TV with his chaotic family in ‘The Osbournes’. Piers Morgan had the pleasure of knowing Ozzy, having worked alongside his wife Sharon Osbourne on America’s Got Talent - and today shares some of his favourite memories of the Prince of Darkness, alongside some notable guests. First up, Piers speaks to KISS legend Gene Simmons, who shares his insights into Ozzy the man and musician. Then, Uncensored is joined by TV producer Howie Mandel and music critic from The Needle Drop YouTube channel Anthony Fantano.

What a legend, he knew he was dying, and all he wanted is to make one last farewell concert, and not only that, with last breaths, he made 200 million dollars for charity. He left this world with a style!

My mom has Parkinson’s. Ozzy’s farewell concert is now officially the HIGHEST GROSSING CHARITY CONCERT OF ALL TIME…surpassing even Live Aid… He has left a HUGH legacy for Parkinson’s patients and research. For this ALONE OZZY deserves a posthumous KNIGHTHOOD….

My teacher was friends with Ozzy in school and when he was getting bullied Ozzy befriended him and stopped the bullying that’s the guy Ozzy is.

I dont remember seeing Piers this genuinely moved and emotional. Same with Gene. Ozzy may have played theatrical roles of darkness but in reality, he was full of divine light and a positive source for millions. Rest in peace Ozzy❤

Not sure if I have ever seen Gene speak so respectfully about anyone or anything before. Ozzy made Gene Simmons genuinely humble! What a guy!
