The Bee Gees "Stayin' Alive" performed by Ozzy, from 2005's Prince of Darkness.
With Zweezil Zappa, guitar. Very impressive Guitar Greatness! 👍
* Initially recorded in the early 1990's.
Osbourne recorded a version of the Bee Gees Stayin’ Alive with Dweezil Zappa which was not released due to record company disapproval.
I know I just ran this video on the 9th, but I think it's a great tune, funny and Ozzy seems to be having a ball with it.

Just "found" this tune a day ago. Had no idea it existed. Wasn't sure if it was real or not. A comment at the video mentioned, "this has to be fake." It took a 15 second search for me to confirm it is indeed authentic. And it's f#cking GREAT!

Ozzy should have done more covers like this. Anyone else aware of any other obscure cover tunes he recorded? Leave a comment.

Rock LEGEND Ozzy dies; age 76.
"After Forever" by Black Sabbath, from 1971's Master of Reality.
And then there’s “After Forever,” where Ozzy asks, “Have you ever thought about your soul – can it be saved?” That’s not just a lyric—it’s a theological gut punch.
Lyrics: After Forever
BeliefNet: Ozzy Osbourne; Christian.
While Ozzy’s public image often leaned into dark and gothic themes, his private beliefs told a different story. Despite his “Prince of Darkness” moniker, Ozzy consistently rejected accusations of Satanism or devil worship. He identified as a Christian and maintained a belief in God throughout his life.
“I believe in God, absolutely,” he once said. “I'm not a Satanist, never have been.”
Ozzy’s Christian beliefs often surprised fans. Songs like “After Forever,” written during his Black Sabbath days, include lyrics that question atheism and affirm belief in God. Though he admitted he didn’t attend church regularly or read the Bible extensively, he acknowledged that Christianity influenced his worldview and some of his music.
His faith was not loud or doctrinal but personal and sincere. He reportedly received a Bible from a well-known evangelist and kept it with him. He was also known to end his concerts with a heartfelt blessing, asking God to bless his audience.
“I’m not preaching, but I think there’s a higher power watching over us,” he shared in an interview. “I should be dead a hundred times over. There’s something more to life than we understand.”

Ozzy remained quietly committed to his Christian faith, even as his on-stage persona projected something else entirely.

"One of Those Days" by Ozzy Osbourne, from 2022's Patient Number 9.
No, the song isn't about rejecting faith in Jesus, it's just the opposite:
[Osbourne's] honest humanity comes through in "One Of Those Days" as he sings about the struggle to hold onto his faith in Jesus in the midst of a world in flames.
[.]
Osbourne made clear that "One Of Those Days" is not an anti-Christian song. Really, it's lyrics are obviously pro-Christian in the sense that for one's faith to be tested, there had to be faith there to begin with. It likely wouldn't have been an issue at all if it weren't for Osbourne's past reputation.

I shouldn't have to link to the name of the band or the name of this song. If you don't know, you have failed R&R Music History.

Covid meets its match. Ozzy has covid.
Patch: Ozzy Osbourne Tests Positive For COVID-19, Wife Sharon Says.
LOS ANGELES — Legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne has tested positive for COVID-19, his wife, Sharon Osbourne, revealed in a video Thursday.
The video was shared on the Twitter account of "The Talk UK," Sharon's new talk show. In tears, Sharon said she planned to return to the United States to be with her husband. In the emotional interview, Sharon also said she is "very worried about Ozzy right now."
"We've gone two years without him catching COVID and it's just Ozzy's luck that he would get it now," Sharon said.
Considering the decades Ozzy spent partaking of substances and other health obstacles he's overcome, does anyone really think covid stands a chance against him?
Ozzy may have the best immune system of anyone alive.
