Ozzy Osbourne and his son, Jack, have been filming a new show since last fall. for the History Channel, in which the Black Sabbath frontman travels to unique historical sites. Osbourne recently spoke with Rolling Stone about the experience:

"After The Osbournes TV show, my son chose to go behind the camera and he's got his own company. He said, 'Would you be interested in doing this show?' And I went, 'Oh, great, fine.' I just got back from Cuba last week, which, incidentally, if you get any chance to go over there you should go, mate. It's fucking great."

"They got parts of a fucking U-2 plane lying around in this military thing in a park and you can just go and touch it. And I'm going, 'Fucking hell. If that was in England or America, they'd have a fucking screen that you couldn't touch this stuff.' Then somebody pointed out to me that under the Castro regime, it's everybody's property. It's not a government thing … but it's kind of weird."

Ozzy Osbourne recently told Rolling Stone that David Bowie’s death “knocked the shit out of me. I had no idea that he was so ill.” Bowie died at the age of 69 on January 10 following an 18 month battle with cancer.

Osbourne recalled seeing Bowie at AA meetings and at random locations. "I briefly met him once when I was going to Hugo's (in Los Angeles) with my wife for breakfast. I'd just been to Barney's Beanery," he says. "I heard someone say, 'Hello, Ozzy.' And it's bloody Bowie shouting across the road to me."

According to Bowie's career overview issued by The Hollywood Reporter the influential singer-songwriter and producer dabbled in glam rock, art rock, soul, hard rock, dance pop, punk and electronica during his eclectic 40-plus-year career. He just released his 25th album, Blackstar, on January 8th, which was his birthday.

Bowie’s artistic breakthrough came with 1972’s The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars, an album that fostered the notion of rock star as space alien. Fusing British mod with Japanese kabuki styles and rock with theater, Bowie created the flamboyant, androgynous alter ego Ziggy Stardust.

Three years later, Bowie achieved his first major American crossover success with the No. 1 single “Fame” off the top 10 album Young Americans, then followed with the 1976 avant-garde art rock LP Station to Station, which made it to No. 3 on the charts and featured top 10 hit “Golden Years.”

Bowie also enjoyed a long career as an actor, with memorable roles in The Man Who Fell to Earth, Labyrinth, The Hunger, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me and The Prestige, among others.
