Ozzy Osbourne Bites Head Off Bat

Date: January 20, 1982

What Went Down: Back in the day, Black Sabbath front man Ozzy Osbourne got off on throwing pig intestines and cow livers into the audience during performances. One night, a fan gave the Ozzman a taste of his own medicine and threw a live bat on the stage. Thinking it was a rubber toy, the self-proclaimed Prince of Darkness grabbed the animal and bit its head off. Ozzy had to be rushed to the hospital for rabies shots after the gig, but his legend as the ultimate rock 'n' roll wild man loomed larger than ever.
