In a recent episode of “Ozzy Speaks” on SiriusXM’s Ozzy’s Boneyard, Ozzy Osbourne and Billy Morrison reminisced about the time VAN HALEN opened for BLACK SABBATH in 1978 on the European leg of the latter band’s “Never Say Die!” tour.
“I just couldn’t believe it,” Ozzy said. “Eddie made it look so fucking easy. They outshone us. They blew us off the stage.”
Ozzy also recalled his positive interactions with the Van Halen brothers: “Eddie was a great guy. He was always nice to me. He was a lovely man to be around, as was Alex [Van Halen]. I took all of them down to my local pub… That was fucking great.”
