Ozzy Osbourne recently shared how he attempted to avoid going on the road for extensive tours by shaving his head during an episode of ‘The Madhouse Chronicles.‘
“What you see of Ozzy Osbourne is not so much Ozzy Osbourne. It’s Sharon. I’d walk around in these all day,” he said, referring to his wife, Sharon Osbourne.
He then recalled coming up with a plan to escape the grueling tour schedule of the 1980s: “I knocked a barber up in Birmingham. I think in Birmingham, and I knocked the door, and he said, ‘We haven’t opened yet.’ I said, ‘I want to shave my head.’ He said, ‘What?’ I said, ‘I want to shave my head.’ ‘Okay.’”
The plan failed, though, and Osbourne had to continue with the Speak of the Devil Tour shortly afterward. His wife was also less than pleased with his new appearance.
Recalling her reaction, Ozzy said, “At my sister’s house. [I walk in and] she goes, ‘Oh.’ Didn’t say a word in front of my sister. She goes, ‘You stupid c*nt.’”
Sharon had to come up with an idea to go on with a photoshoot for the 13th anniversary of the Circus Magazine with Mark Weiss the next day. The two painted the singer’s head black and added balloons to complete the look.
