“Did Ozzy Osbourne know it was his final performance?”That haunting question kicks off a powerful and emotional episode of The Ben and Skin Show, where the crew—Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina “K-Ray” Ray—reflect on the passing of a true rock icon: Ozzy Osbourne, the Prince of Darkness. Just two weeks after his final concert, Ozzy’s death at 76 sends shockwaves through the show and the rock world. The team dives deep into his legacy—from Black Sabbath to his solo career, his battle with Parkinson’s, and the cultural phenomenon that was The Osbournes.

That's kt fun tweets. That is Christina, a little baby
corn bread k Ray Ray Ray, I'm skin Wade. And
it is a big day here at ninety seven point
one the Eagle. It is a sad day here at
ninety seven point one The Eagle. No doubt you have
(01:24):
heard the news. A legend has passed. Ozzy Osbourne passed
away this morning at the age of seventy six. This
is according to an announcement from his family. He is
just two weeks removed from playing his final concert. We
had talked about that a couple of weeks ago. That
(01:44):
was in the UK, and pretty much almost who's who
from the world of heavy metal and hard rock all
went out there to be a part of that because
it's it's been out there. Ozzie's been dealing with Parkinson's disease.
It was diagnosed in twenty nineteen, and so you know,
obviously he's a not only a huge figure in the
world of music, but also a figure in the world
(02:06):
of pop culture. And everything changed for Ozzy when they
had that was that show called Meet the Osbourne That
was like the.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
First reality show I remember watching too. Yeah, you know,
it's huge.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
It was huge.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Ozzy Osbourne obviously started as the lead singer of Black Sabbath.
He had a hardcore hardcore drug problem and ended up
leaving the band, and Sharon Osbourne, who people got to
know because of Meet the Osbourne's, was his manager and
she sort of cleaned him up and dusted him off
(02:42):
and got him back out there and he teamed up
with the legendary guitarist Randy Rhoades, who passed away and
started his solo career as Ozzy Osbourne and had a
whole secondary solo career that was just as big, if
not bigger, than what he did with Black Sabbath. But
it is pretty shocking that just two weeks ago he
(03:03):
was on a stage performing and then as of today
he is no longer with us.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
Yeah, that was called back to the beginning, by the way,
and they're releasing a movie I believe next year, So
that'll be sad.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Now.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
When we see footage of him, it feels like he
just kind of like was waiting for that, you know,
and then he did that and he knew it was
his final performance. He was proud of it, as he
should be, and it's kind of like that was, you know,
his last turra.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Yeah, we talked about that. I thought he sounded great.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
It's really sad, though, man. And he's writing a memoir too,
I believe. I don't know if that's done. It's just
really the Prince of darkness. Yeah, freaking gone.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
Yeah, And this was so was nine months ago as
like I was October he got put into the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame as solo artist too, and
I remember going, yeah, he didn't look great because he's
he's Ozzy at this point and he's been you know,
Parkinson's right, so he's shaking and Jack Black's speech on
him is just incredible. May I'll find that for later
(04:04):
in the week because it's so good and uh yeah,
it's a bomber man. You get the news like this.
Yesterday we warned Malcolm Jamal Warner died the Cosby Show.
We had a situation a couple of months ago where
they all came in threes. So I'm uh, I need
to find out who that was because my memory is
kind of going on me.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
But that was sly Stone and it was Brian Wilson
and it was some other music cords I got it
was there.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Yeah, yeah, So I mean around here obviously the premiere
rock station in the history of Dallas Fort Worth The Eagle.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Uh, no doubt.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
We'll be celebrating Ozzy Osbourne all week long, as we
you know, learned of his passing this morning. But you know, Christina,
you brought up an interesting thing about uh, you know,
having that moment and then.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Kind of letting go.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Uh, I you know, I had a really good friend
of mine. We talked about him that passed away recently
from Parkinson's. He was really my dad's friend, but he
really got me into music and when he first got
the party.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
This was a guy that always.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Involved himself and stuff like if you guys have ever
seen the commercial for the play sixty on NFL, which
was a whole campaign they did for decades to get
kids to go outside and play for sixty minutes every day.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
I remember that.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yeah, he started that.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
That's cool.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
And he was always doing things, always writing songs, doing
different stuff. He's a real interesting guy. But when he
got the Parkinson's diagnosis, he would create these projects to
keep himself engaged, right, to keep himself going, keep his
mind off of Parkinson's and still go achieve things. And
I think, you know, if you have those sort of
(05:40):
things you're trying to do, and that did, I mean
we talked about it was positioned as the last hurrah,
so to speak.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
He probably did.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Have that moment of letting go and not necessarily fighting
anymore because it is such a horrible thing to have
to deal with.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Yeah, went out on his terms. Yeah, I went out
on his terms.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
But he is a legend for so many reasons, and
obviously we will be talking about him all day long.
We'll get into some more Ozzy Osbourne stuff later in
the show for sure at five point fifteen. But another
thing we're going to be doing this week, Ben, we
are the official station of Dallas Cowboys Camp, even though
we're not in camp.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Yeah, we're not there.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
We're not an aux snard, but we're the only Cowboys
Camp show with the courage to broadcast on a rock
station without being there in person. I think that speaks volumes.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
It says who we are.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
And as such, you know, Jerry Jones and Steven Jones
and your guy shot e KT. They hit the podium
yesterday and they did their camp introduction press conference as
they always do, and there's one particular thing that had
a big news element to it, and that is the
way that Jerry talked about the Micah Parsons contract situation.
(06:53):
Did you guys see JJ Watt talked about it on
Instagram or Twitter and MIKEA. Parsons like JJ Watts tweet
where he was taking shots at Jerry.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Yeah, And I can't tell.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
It's like Jerry just likes stirring the drink and being
in the drama or it's just so rich that he
does whatever he wants, but there's no way this is productive,
and maybe it all goes away. You know, he and
Mike are taking a little shots at each other. Maybe
they get the deal done and it's just window dressing,
but it doesn't feel productive.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Yeah, I mean, that's the Jerry Jones way, right. But
as we do cover all of this, keep in mind
that we have that audio for you, the Mike Parson
stuff we'll get into in the five o'clock hour after
we talk about Ozzy Osbourne, and then coming up and
around the sports we have some other stuff, including clearly
when Jerry was on land Man he had really impressive
(07:44):
thoughts of John Hamm. We'll play you some of that
audio so you can understand all of that. But it's
time to get going. A sad day around the Eagle
as Ozzy Osbourne has passed away at the age of
seventy six. We will be talking about it all day.
But coming up next on things and is tracking. I
will give you the sights and sounds of the tour
(08:04):
of the University of North Texas.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
