While Ozzy Osbourne has always been one of the high priests of heavy metal music, it has only been the recent chain of events that has finally allowed him to lay claim to the papacy. With some 35 years in the business and a string of controversies under his belt, ranging from the oral decapitation of small animals to bladder relief on one of the USA's most sacred monuments, Ozzy has truly encapsulated the rock 'n' roll lifestyle.
