One of Ozzy Osbourne’s best-selling albums, “No More Tears,” was released at a tumultuous time in Osbourne’s life as he sought sobriety after decades of addiction. He admitted to writing the title track while drunk but sought to finish the album clear-eyed and sober. He would face his insecurities head-on without the liquid lubricant of alcohol, and the aftermath would be one of his best albums ever.
Being the face of one of the most influential metal bands ever, Ozzy Osbourne earned his place as the Prince of Darkness. But like a true anti-hero, he succumbed to his weaknesses before rising again. Partnering with legendary guitarist Randy Rhoads and led thoughtfully by the future manager and wife Sharon Arden, Osbourne was able to not only continue his career but become the most celebrated figure in all of metal.
