RIP Ozzy Osbourne.🤘2/2
However, Ozzy more than made up for it with his later appearances - including a few unbilled ones he did to make up for it. Were any of you at any of those shows? If so let us know...

RIP Ozzy Osbourne.🤘1/2
Ozzy played ROCK CITY several times over the years, but he's probably best remembered here for the time he started a riot here by NOT PLAYING.
He cancelled his gig from his Notts hotel room just up the road in July 1988 due to having a throat infection.
