The most boring party guests ever: sober rock and roll stars
Neil Young sober for a year - who else is teetotal?
- Ozzy Osbourne - The infamous Black Sabbath rocker has abused drugs and alcohol for most of his life. Although clean and sober now, Osbourne has frequently commented on his former wild lifestyle, puzzled at how he has survived 40 years of abuse. The bat-eater was actually fired from Black Sabbath in 1979 due to his drunken antics, and Osbourne spent the next three months locked in his hotel room taking vast amounts of drugs and alcohol all day, every day. He claims that he would have not survived if his wife, Sharon Osbourne, had not offered to manage him as a solo artist.
