Ozzy Osbourne officially announce a devastating announcement concerning a new legend member…. ….

The Beatles aren’t a controversial topic amongst hard rock music fans, right? That never goes wrong when we bring that up. Nobody thinks the Beatles were overrated. Nobody is going to bring up that John Lennon was a wife beater. That’s definitely not all going to happen in the comments section, I’m sure of it.
