Ozzy Osbourne disguised pure vodka as water in pint glasses to hide his drinking during his hellraising years.
Ian Gillan revealed that Ozzy Osbourne shared the trick with him backstage after a show in the 1990s.
A music industry source highlighted that Ozzy’s deception in disguising his drinking reflected the severe lengths he would go to conceal it from his wife, Sharon.
Ian Gillan is set to share the encounter with Ozzy Osbourne on his Talking Gib’rish Tour, where he will recount 65 years of rock ‘n’ roll stories and encounters with famous musicians.
Gillan, who remains on tour with Deep Purple, has revealed that his eyesight is deteriorating, requiring precautions during performances, and humorously claims to have accidentally invented head-banging.
