Ozzy Osbourne can't explain success

Ozzy Osbourne

Ozzy Osbourne insists there's "no magic formula" to being a rock star.

The Black Sabbath singer has an impressive musical career that spans over 40 years. Ozzy was recently named Kerrang! magazine's greatest rock star, but the 63-year-old remains humble about his success.

"That's cracking. I'm very honoured and I'm very flattered and everything, but I'm not very good at taking compliments. I never know what to say," he told the UK publication.

"There's no magic formula to being a rock star: you either are or you're not. I try not to think about it all; I just do what I do."

Ozzy thinks being a respected musician isn't all about vocal talent. He believes keeping crowds amused is the key to gaining admiration from fans.

"I'm not the world's greatest singer but I like to entertain the audience," he explained in an interview with the magazine. "I'm probably not the right person to ask about how to be a rock star because I've never been one of those d**khead guys posing about the place.

"Maybe that's what people like."

If you're not able to provide them with the luxuries they crave, there will be problems. Then again, you have the potential for being a good provider, so all may be well.More
