OZZY OSBOURNE – Ordinary Man Funko Pop! Coming To Hot Topic

Funko Pop! Rocks has a new star coming to its collection – Ozzy Osbourne. Inspired by the Prince Of Darkness’ new album, Ordinary Man, the figure will be exclusively available through Hot Topic. 

In February 2017, Black Sabbath played their last-ever show, putting a cap on The End Tour in their hometown of Birmingham, England.  

Ever since then, rumours have swirled about a one-off reunion. During a recent interview with Kory Grow of Rolling Stone, Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne responded to a query about guitarist Tony Iommi saying he’d still like for Black Sabbath to play live again sometime.

According to The Prince Of Darkness, "Not for me. It’s done. The only thing I do regret is not doing the last farewell show in Birmingham with (drummer) Bill Ward (Tommy Clufetos played drums on The End Tour). I felt really bad about that. It would have been so nice. I don’t know what the circumstances behind it were, but it would have been nice. I’ve talked to him a few times, but I don’t have any of the slightest interest in [doing another gig]. Maybe Tony’s getting bored now."

This Monday (September 7) at 9 PM (ET/PT), A&E Network's Emmy Award-winning "Biography" banner will premiere a new documentary special celebrating the life of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee and Grammy-winning singer, Ozzy Osbourne. Watch a preview below.

Featuring exclusive interviews and archival footage, Biography: The Nine Lives Of Ozzy Osbourne delves into the many lives and incredible career of the man who has personified rock and roll rebellion for decades. The documentary, a selection of the 2020 SXSW Film Festival, also features interviews with Sharon, Kelly and Jack Osbourne, as well as friends and fellow musicians including Rick Rubin, Ice-T, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Jonathan Davis, Post Malone and more.

Here are a few interview highlights from the documentary:

"I'm 23 and I feel like sometimes I can't do a fucking tour, but Ozzy is still crushin' 'em and kicking ass to this day...I think that's pretty incredible." - Post Malone

"I don't know what music would be like if it weren't for the influence of Ozzy. He is everywhere. Ozzy changed everything." - Rick Rubin

"I don't think Ozzy is similar to anybody. To me Ozzy is just original, so you get stripes for that in my book." - Ice T

"He's like The Godfather of metal. The guy's no joke, he lives it." - Jonathan Davis

"He can't be defined as this one thing when you're someone like Ozzy." - Marilyn Manson

"He always has a huge smile on his face like he's going to burst out laughing or like he is laughing and that is so infectious, especially in a genre where everybody is trying to out-grimace everybody else or out-tough everybody else and Ozzy is just at the center of it with just the giant grin on his face. When do you think he is gonna retire? Look at him up there with that smile on his face...he ain't going nowhere..." - Rob Zombie
