Ozzy “Mr.Madman” Osbourne announced on his Twiter the release of the Ozzy Plush Bat to celebrate the 37th anniversary of remarkable bat-biting.
The story goes that on January 20, 1982, Ozzy bit the head off a live bat during a concert at Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Des Moines, Iowa. He later claimed he thought it was a toy thrown to him by an audience member.
The 12-inch-tall web-exclusive item can be purchased for $40. A description reads: “Bring the legendary moment in rock history to life with this soft toy plush bat, featuring the Ozzy Osbourne logo and a velcro detachable head.”
“It tasted all crunchy and warm . . . like a Ronald McDonald’s,” said the Madman.

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!
