OZZY OSBOURNE - "I Was Lucky I Didn’t Choke On My Vomit, Like BON SCOTT... He Was A Good Friend Of Mine"
June 19, 2020, 4 years ago
Ozzy Osbourne is featured in a new interview with Louder, in which he discusses his difficult year, fallen friends, his new album Ordinary Man, and more.
During the interview, Ozzy is asked what is the meaning of life, to which he replies: "At the end of the day, you can look back down the road and say: “Well, I did it my way.” I’m seventy-one now. Looking down that road, there’s so many people that have gone. Gary Moore, he was a good friend of mine. I used to go drinking with John Bonham, and the drink killed him years ago. But there’s so many great musicians gone."
Does that make him nostalgic or even melancholic? "No," says Osbourne. "As I say, I don’t know why I’m still alive. They didn’t do any worse than I did, I didn’t do anything less than they did. We all drank the same, we all partied the same, we all did the same. I was lucky I didn’t choke on my vomit. Like Bon Scott. He was a good friend of mine. He was a great singer."
