Heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne, who died at age 76, left behind his wife Sharon, a multi-million fortune and a fiery and bitter feud with Donald Trump that will now go unfinished.

Both Ozzy and his wife Sharon fired multiple shots at President Donald Trump around the time he decided to throw himself into politics. The legendary guitarist wasn’t shy about airing his disdain for the first Trump administration publicly, condemning Trump’s despicable lack of political knowledge and decorum.

During an interview with Rolling Stone in 2020, the Black Sabbath frontman cast the president as an old-timer who was too stubborn to admit he was wrong.

“The Constitution says that anyone can be president. But it’s not like anyone could be a f—— heart surgeon and just go in with a scalpel. You have to know what you’re f—— doing. And anyone who runs for office, I think there should be an age limit. Eight years to us is nothing but to us, but if you’re f—— 76, eight years is like death.”

Ozzy acknowledged that he could never do then-president Trump’s job because “I’m honest enough to say I don’t know what the f— I’m talking about.”

In 2019, Trump made a post on Twitter, which is now known as X, using Ozzy’s hit song Crazy Train to slam a Democratic debate.

Both the prince of darkness and his wife Sharon repudiated the then-president online, forbidding him from using any of Ozzy’s music to support his political career.

In a joint statement posted on Sharon’s Instagram, the couple wrote, “Based on this morning’s unauthorized use of Ozzy Osbourne’s ‘Crazy Train,’ we are sending notice to the Trump campaign (or any other campaigns) that they are forbidden from using any of Ozzy Osbourne’s music in political ads or in any political campaigns.”

“Ozzy’s music cannot be used for any means without approvals,” they reiterated. Sharon finished the message by providing a list of other Trump-supporting celebrities whose music would be more appropriate for a Trump ad.

“In the meantime, I have a suggestion for Mr. Trump,” Sharon wrote. “Perhaps he should reach out to some of his musician friends. Maybe #KayneWest [sic] (“Gold Digger”), @KidRock (“I Am the Bullgod”) or @TedNugentofficial (“Stranglehold”) will allow use of their music.”

Later in 2020, the prince of darkness admitted he didn’t know too much about politics, but knew exactly why he couldn’t support a candidate like Donald Trump due to his mishandling of the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic, which killed around three million. The rock legend bashed the then-president who, at the time, insisted the virus wasn’t as bad as medical professionals had said

“In my lifetime, I’ve never known anything like this. It’s getting worse, not better. And this guy’s acting like a fool. I don’t really like to talk politics that much, but I’ve got to say what I feel with this guy. There’s not much hope left,” he said.
