Our journalist grew up with the music of Ozzy Osbourne and says goodbye: “I met him as a teenager thanks to the CD cabinet of my uncle”

Marco Mariotti, in daily life HLN crime journalist in Limburg, received a shock this week: Ozzy Osbourne, Rockegendende sold 100 million records and one of his large musical heroes, died at the age of 76. The news started a stream of memories, from when he discovered Black Sabbath as a little boy thanks to his uncle. From the first song he covered when he was 16 years old with his own metal band to that big disappointment on Graspop: “Isn’t there a little bit of Ozzy in all of us?”
