3. Ozzy Osbourne
In an industry where sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll are the motto – and things to strive for – perhaps no one in rock history managed to get as messed up as the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne. The Godfather of Heavy Metal has had one of the most tumultuous careers, which has always been surrounded by his stunning alcohol and drug abuse.
Band mate Tony Iommi said that while all the band members were involved in alcohol and drugs in the ’70s, Osbourne had the unhealthiest lifestyle of them all. That is pretty evident by the numerous videos showing a crazed, unintelligible Osbourne. Just take a look at the interview above with Barbara Walters. Though he became clean for extended periods, as recently as 2013 he claimed that he had resumed drinking and taking drugs. He has since (supposedly) gone clean again.
