He then dragged the genre out of its doom-laden early days and into the glitz and glamour of the 1980s arena rock era, becoming a staple of MTV. Along the way, he struggled with demons, including alcohol and drugs, while batting away accusations of being a Satanist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"anchor-9d1332\">Yet his &#8220;never say die&#8221; attitude always kept him in the spotlight, even during the years when rock was proclaimed dead. He and his wife (and manager), Sharon, turned their rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll life into the stuff of a reality TV sitcom called &#8220;The Osbournes.&#8221; He also helped establish scores of music stars through his Ozzfest music festival of the 1990s and 2000s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"anchor-3e10ef\">He saved what might have been his grandest performance for last. Just weeks before his death at 76, Osbourne headlined &#8220;Back to the Beginning.&#8221; The all-star heavy metal concert in hometown Birmingham, England, featured sets from the likes of Metallica and Guns n&#8217; Roses before culminating with performances by Ozzy&#8217;s band and Black Sabbath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"anchor-7bb703\">\u201cYou\u2019ve got no idea how I feel.
