WHERE OZZY GREW UP
Ozzy Osbourne grew up on 14 Lodge Road not far from Villa Park Stadium, Birmingham, UK. He was born in 1948 to hard working parents John and Lilian and three older sisters, Jean, Iris and Gillian, and two younger brothers, Paul and Tony. Although his first childhood home is believed to be in Kingstanding, he is forever connected to Aston.
After working in a slaughterhouse and car plant, young Osbourne eventually fell into crime but saw music as a getaway. After hearing The Beatles for the first time Osbourne said in a documentary "I knew I was going to be a rock star the rest of my life."
His neighbour says: "He would play piano and guitar in the front room, it was nice music. Ozzy's family was nice and his mum was nice, I never spoke to him much it was more 'hello' and 'goodbye'. I saw the mother and father more."

100 million album sales later and the creation of heavy metal's greatest band Black Sabbath, the rest is history.
