Howard Pays Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne for Singer’s 75th Birthday

Against all odds, legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne recently celebrated his 75^th birthday. On Tuesday, Howard, noting his admiration for the singer, paid tribute to him as well as some of his wild past antics. “I love his music and I love his whole thing … I wish I could be a touch more like him … he’s just going through his life. If you don’t like what he’s doing, then deal with it,” he told co-host Robin Quivers. “To me, Ozzy really does embody the rock and roll spirit … [his voice] is one of the most recognizable singing voices in rock and roll history.”

In addition to running through highlights from Ozzy’s career both with Black Sabbath and as a solo artist, Howard also noted his role as a husband and father — which came to attention in the Osbourne family’s various Stern Show appearances before their historic MTV reality show, “The Osbournes.”

“One of the things I always loved about Ozzy, besides the music, was that juxtaposition between demonic rock star and family man,” Howard remarked. “It was so wild to see Ozzy trying to be like a dad.”

To commemorate Ozzy’s milestone birthday, Howard revealed a new special just released featuring some of Ozzy’s best Stern Show moments that’s now available on the SiriusXM app. Click here to watch!
