Strong Birmingham (Brummie) accent

His favorite band is The Beatles, who inspired him to become a musician when Beatlemania spread worldwide.

Before the success of The Osbournes (2002), he was known by most people as "the singer who bites heads off bats". This rumor traces back to one isolated incident. On January 20, 1982, at a concert in Des Moines, a bat wound up on stage, which had either been stuck in the rafters or thrown up there by a crazed fan. Osbourne bit it for a goof, thinking it was a rubber toy. He had to take a week of rabies shots. Despite a $25,000 donation later that year to the SPCA, the bat story grew to be an urban legend of its own, to the point where even numerous unrelated heavy metal bands were commonly accused of ritualistically killing live animals on stage.

Discovered only after he grew up that he is dyslexic, after being told for years that the reason he had trouble reading in school was because he was "dumb".

Made several suicide attempts as a teenager.

Every single one of his solo albums (of original material) has gone multi-platinum.

The lifestyle I've been living for the last 30 years, I could have been dead a thousand times.

They say military have the so-called 'secret intelligence' -- this amount of intelligence must be very secret, since I've never seen any intelligent military person, nor I have seen any sense in the bloody stupid wars.

I'll only retire in the day I should be dead and they have me buried, and some idiot spell over my casket some stupid gospel stuff.

[on kicking drugs and alcohol for the first time] All I have to say is this. Sobriety F***ing Sucks!

The only black magic Sabbath ever got into was a box of chocolates.
