I had this conversation with my step son over this past weekend. I think the Ozzy announcement is nearer rather than farther.
I think what I don't like - but I get it - is the overuse of "star" and "celebrity". I get notices of "Star Wars star passes at 73" or whatever, and I see "star" and think "Harrison Ford"? No, it's the guy that did the body control whatever you call it for the character that played the oboe in the Cantina band. WTF? "Star"? I saw another one and it was "Founder of iconic rock band dies" (It was AC/DC) and it turns out it was the drummer. Not Phil Rudd, who was credited on or appeared on all their releases up to Flick Of The Switch in '83. Nor was it Tony Currenti, who played on the majority of the Australian release of High Voltage (as a session player) nor was it even Peter Clack, who was technically the "drummer" in AC/DC at the time (and who played on "Baby Please Don't Go" and appeared in at least one video). Nope, it was Colin Burgess (who?!?) who technically was the first drummer in AC/DC, albeit for three months in late '73, early '74 before being fired.
