The Prince of Darkness praised all the artists he admires. “Geezer Butler a great, great lyricist. And as a bassist nobody can touch him.”

Osbourne said. “Bill Ward, in his day, was a great drummer. Tony Iommi, he’s always gonna be the greatest no one can touch him. And actually, to this day, I still don’t understand how he plays guitar, ’cause he’s got no fingertips; he plays with plastic fingers.”

Further appreciating Tony, Osbourne said, 

When he got diagnosed with cancer, he just dealt with it. That’s him. I’m going [imitates crying sound], and he’s, like, ‘Whatever I have to do.’ He’s like that. He’s always been like that. Very calm.

He was the band, really,” Osbourne added. “We were all part of the band, but he was the most irreplaceable one out of all of us.

Ozzy, who's worth a mamoth $220 million, recalled how he truly admired Iommi back in the days and still does. The artist, even today, speaks very highly of Iommi, which is a sign of a real artist. “People will say to me, ‘Why did you always sing on the side of the stage?’ I don’t fucking know. I don’t know.”
