After biting a live bat 40 years ago, Ozzy Osbourne wants to protect animals
Ozzy Osbourne wants to build bat shelters at his home in the UK, according to the Buckinghamshire Live (via NME). The rock icon’s idea is to protect the species from predators and the cold.
The singer is moving from Los Angeles, California (United States) to a mansion in Buckinghamshire, England with his wife, Sharon Osbourne. According to Lookhe asked the government for permission to install the shelters.
In addition to the sanctuary for bats, the new residence must have a room prepared to help the star recover – who recently underwent spinal surgery. At the age of 73, he also faces Parkinson’s disease, diagnosed since 2020.
the relationship of Ozzy with animals is ancient. 40 years ago, January 20, 1982, he bit the head of a bat during a concert in the United States. The animal was thrown on stage by a fan, and the singer thought it was a rubber version until he felt the blood in his mouth – as he revealed in his autobiography.
In 2021, osbourne released a plush toy of a bat with a detachable head to commemorate 39 years of rock’s bizarre and iconic moment. Check out:
