Ozzy Osbourne
Memorabilia Up For Sale After Death
Published
The Prince of Darkness lives on after death, with some of his stage-worn clothes now being auctioned off to the highest bidder.
Ozzy Osbourne memorabilia is featured in a new collection of items hitting the auction block at Gotta Have Rock and Roll. This includes a stage-worn black jacket from the “Retirement Sucks” tour.
The Black Sabbath frontman autographed and inscribed the custom jacket, which comes with tails. The auction house estimates it will sell for $20,000.
Ozzy’s coat was custom-made by Audrey Carter.
Also up for bidding is a custom black mesh coat Ozzy wore in 2011 for a show. The coat was created by his art director/stylist/designer Lena Hermansson. Ozzy wanted the jacket made from mesh to prevent it from becoming too heavy when he got soaking wet onstage.
The mesh coat is expected to fetch at least $10,000.
A signed copy of Ozzy’s album “Blizzard of Ozz” is also up for grabs and is expected to sell for at least $5,000.
As you know, Ozzy died Tuesday a couple of weeks after his final show with Black Sabbath at the age of 76.
The auction starts today and runs through August 8, featuring a guitar that Randy Rhoads played in 1977 with Quiet Riot.
Randy’s 1974 Gibson Les Paul guitar, seen on the back cover of the band’s debut album, is believed to be the only Rhoads guitar ever to be auctioned. It is estimated to fetch over $100,000.
