Ozzy Osbourne Bites a Bat head's Off

Описание: The infamous incident where Ozzy Osbourne bit the head off a bat occurred on January 20, 1982, during his "Diary of a Madman" tour at Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Des Moines, Iowa.

Here's a breakdown of what happened:

The Misconception: Ozzy initially believed a fan had thrown a rubber toy bat onto the stage, as it was common for fans to throw various items, including plastic Halloween toys, at his concerts.

The Reality: He picked up what he thought was a prop and bit into it, only to realize it was a real bat. Accounts vary on whether the bat was alive or dead when thrown. Ozzy himself claimed he felt it twitch, while the fan who threw it, Mark Neal (then 17 years old), stated it was already dead. Neal had reportedly brought the bat, which his younger brother had found, to the concert.

The Aftermath: Immediately after the incident, Ozzy had to undergo a series of painful rabies shots as a precautionary measure. This involved multiple injections in various parts of his body over several weeks.

The Legend: The event quickly became a legendary (and controversial) moment in rock and metal history, solidifying Ozzy Osbourne's "Prince of Darkness" persona and contributing to his reputation as a wild and unpredictable performer. It's a story that has been told and retold countless times, often with exaggerated details, and has become a significant part of his folklore.

It's worth noting that this wasn't the first time Ozzy had engaged in such a shocking act; he had previously bitten the heads off doves at a CBS Records executive meeting in 1981.
