Growing up a die hard Sabbath and Ozzy fan, you would be lying if I would one day work with one of my idols and the band for 6 years. He was hysterically funny, he was kind, he was a friend. It was the summer of 2006, and we were in Burbank doing press for his Undercover album.

I had not met him at this point. I am speaking with Ozzy's assistant Tony as Ozzy is getting make up ready. Tony and I are talking about Syd and in walks Ozzy. He said, who died? We both said Syd Barrett. For the next 30 minutes he and I are just talking about Pink Floyd.

At one moment I just said to myself, in my wildest dreams, I never thought I would be sitting in a studio at 6am, talking Pink Floyd with a man who was a god to me. Next thing I know, I am doing press for the next 6 years with this man. From the Sabbath reunions, to Ozzfests.

Clearly I am much more handsome now. 😂😂😂 So many stories as a fan and a client. Nobody could hold court and control a crowd the way he did. I will always love him.

Wow what a cool story! I was lucky to see Black Sabbath in 2014 with my husband who shed tears today😢 Did you watch his concert from Birmingham England? It was on at our house all day long!!
