Ozzy Osbourne Really Did Rip Off a Bat’s Head
It’s one of the creepiest rumors in rock and roll history and one that we were all hoping would be a total lie. Sadly, it’s not. Ozzy Osbourne really did tear off the head of a dead bat during one of his concerts in 1982. But he insists that he didn’t mean to.

The bat was thrown on stage by a crazy fan, and Ozzy took it to be a rubber toy. Which makes sense, because, really, since when do people throw actual bats at each other? Unfortunately, he shoved the bat in his mouth without thinking twice and regretted it the second he felt the light fuzz between his teeth.
