Ozzy Osbourne - Ozzy Osbourne is renowned as one of the wildest and craziest frontmen of all time. His antics, including biting the head off a bat and snorting ants, have gone down in the annals of rock and rock history. But what made Ozzy so wild? In this revealing biopic we go back to Ozzy’s roots to discover the childhood trauma that forged the entertainer and made him want to ‘out crazy’ the rest. We hear from his friends, many speaking for the first time, and chart his life from his poverty-stricken upbringing in Birmingham, England, through his rise to the top as frontman of Black Sabbath and his eventual dismissal after his drink and drug addiction overwhelmed him. We also hear how his future wife, Sharon, saved him from ruin and how she helped harness Ozzy’s wild side and turn him into one of the world’s most successful frontmen.

Bruce Dickinson - Nicknamed, ‘The Air Raid Siren’, for his trademark soaring high-pitched voice, the frontman of Iron Maiden Bruce Dickinson is widely considered to be one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time. From humble beginnings he attended an exclusive English boarding school. It was there he defied the bullies and began his love of singing. But joining Iron Maiden and becoming a celebrated frontman wasn’t enough for Bruce Dickinson. The ultimate over-achiever is also an award winning author, a radio show host and a commercial airline pilot. He’s battled cancer, performed in war town Sarajevo and was an international fencer. This is the story of one of the most high achieving frontmen of all time.

Steven Tyler - As part of Aerosmith, Steve Tyler was one of the most iconic, bombastic, charismatic frontmen. He saw major chart success with hits like “Dream On,” “Walk This Way,” and “Love in an Elevator”. They sold 70 million more albums than any other heavy rock band in US history. But despite phenomenal success, time and time again his career nose-dived into a death spiral with drug and alcohol addiction almost killing him - yet every time he fell, he came back even bigger and better than before. The story of the man with self-confessed ‘lead singer’s disease’ is told by some of the people that know Steven Tyler the best.

David Lee Roth - One of the most famous, flamboyant, wild and charismatic frontmen in the world David Lee Roth is unlike most lead singers. The frontman of Van Halen is the same person both on and off stage and craves attention and adulation at all times. Growing up the boy from rural Indiana was far from a typical farm-boy and turned into a ferociously bright teenager. His determination to become a frontman led him to convince the Van Halen brothers to let him join their band and David Lee Roth’s his infectious personality and memorable acrobatic stage presence helped make Van Halen one of the most popular rock bands in the world. His notorious rock n roll lifestyle and fun-loving demeanour cemented Diamond Dave as, for some, the band's only "real" frontman.
