Ozzy Osbourne in Toronto: sold-out concerts, partying on Yonge and that failed Maple Leaf Gardens live album

John 'Ozzy' Osbourne, the madcap singer and heavy metal legend who died Tuesday at 76, had a warm, occasionally raucous relationship with Toronto. Osbourne co-founded Black Sabbath in Birmingham, England in 1968; the band made its first Canadian appearance at the Beggars' Banquet Festival in Toronto three years later. Toronto Star reviewer Wilder Penfield may not have been impressed — he sniffed that the group's off-key singing was 'like a hangover from cheap wine' — but within a decade, Sabbath was one of the biggest bands in the world, buoyed by the success of albums like 'Black Sabbath,' 'Paranoid' and 'Masters Of Reality.'
