Ozzy Osbourne and Axl Rose: Music legends meet for the first time

Incredible, but true: The music legends Ozzy Osbourne (76) and Axl Rose (63) have only now got to know each other. Black Sabbath’s front man revealed that he first met his colleagues from Guns N ‘Roses at the band’s last concert.

On July 7, he shared on his Instagram account, which had occurred on the edge of the Black Sabbath party on July 5th in Birmingham. “My first meeting with Axl Rose. At my age you don’t find many legends,” wrote the 76-year-old about the recording that shows the two men when shaking hands. Apparently the two got on well, because Osbourne’s balance was: “Seriously, a real gentleman.” Another picture showed Osbourne between Axl Rose and guitarist Slash (59).

Many fans reacted surprised when they learned that Osbourne and Rose had only met at the farewell concert by Black Sabbath, where, among other things, Guns n ‘Roses were involved. Metallica, Slayer, Tool, Pantera and Anthrax also celebrated the stages of the legendary heavy metal band and thus also from Ozzy Osbourne. The “prince of darkness” has had health problems for years. He has been fighting Parkinson’s since 2003. In the past five years, he also undergone seven operations, including a fourth spine surgery 2023.

Another private climax came behind the scenes: Osbourne’s daughter Kelly (40) received an application from her partner, the slipknot rocker Sid Wilson (48). The couple has been friends for decades and has been lined up for more than three years. Her son was born at the end of 2022.
