# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  John Michael Osbourne co-founded Black Sabbath in 1968 and spent the 1970s as the voice behind Paranoid, Master of Reality, and six other albums that laid the blueprint for metal. Fired in 1979 for substance problems, he launched a solo career the next year with guitarist Randy Rhoads, releasing Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman — the first two of thirteen studio albums, seven certified multi-platinum in the U.S. His onstage antics drew accusations of Satanism from the Christian right; offstage, he became a household name all over again when The Osbournes aired on MTV from 2002 to 2005. He rejoined Black Sabbath twice, the second time yielding the album 13 and a farewell tour that closed in 2017. On 5 July 2025, citing health issues, he played what he announced would be his final show in Birmingham. He died seventeen days later.
