Even after three years of reality-television delving into life as an Osbourne, there is still a story to be told about the widely proclaimed Godfather of Heavy Metal. And who better to help tell it than youngest son Jack Osbourne, who filmed and produced God Bless Ozzy Osbourne, a documentary detailing the rock icon’s life story, from his troubled upbringing to his days in Black Sabbath, his fame, battles with addictions, and his cherished role as a family man.
“This is the most honest portrait of my father,” said Jack. “I set out to tell the truth – regardless of how raw it might be – and I think we accomplished just that.”
Two fans can hop aboard the “crazy train” by bidding to win VIP seating to the exclusive LA screening of God Bless Ozzy Osbourne. The winning bidder and a guest will be able to walk the red carpet, chat up the wacky and wonderful Osbourne family, and receive signed memorabilia from the rock and roll renegade himself as a souvenir of the momentous occasion.
After dealing with the struggles of addiction, the Osbournes are giving back by directing the proceeds from this auction to The MusiCares MAP Fund, which provides access to the addiction recovery treatment and sober living resources for members of the music community regardless of financial circumstances. Bidding is open through Friday, August 19 at http://www.charitybuzz.com/catalog_items/272594.
The release of such an in-depth look at the frontman of Black Sabbath is quite timely, with rumors swirling that legendary rock band could be reuniting. Life in the spotlight has not been easy for The Prince of Darkness, but fans that watch the film will see just how far Ozzy has made it, with his family by his side and plenty of stories to tell along the way.
