Uriah Heep and early Ozzy Osbourne‘s drummer Lee Kerslake received platinum records for his Osbourne’s – 1980’s “Blizzard Of Ozz” and 1981’s “Diary of a Madman.”
Ozzy wrote on his FB page:
“I’m so glad that Lee Kerslake is enjoying his ‘Blizzard’ and ‘Diary’ platinum albums. I hope you feel better. Love, Ozzy.”
In an interview for The Metal Voice Lee told that he only wanted the certifications as acknowledgment for his work before he leaves us.
“I really wrote a nice letter to them and I hope they will come to terms with it and say yes.”
I’m just a lucky guy who has chosen metal to live with for a long time. Metal changed my life for good. It made me more confident and stronger. Metalheads are naturally far away from the mass mediocrity and don’t accept impostures from anybody else. Metal is more than music, it’s a life changing oportunity!
