Do not fill this in! ==Legacy== Osbourne is considered an icon of [[hard rock]] music, and one of the founders of [[heavy metal music]] through his work with Black Sabbath. He dislikes being categorized as metal, stating that while his band "plays heavy", other bands that are considered metal are "really heavy". "When you get pigeonholed with a certain [genre], it can be very difficult to do something a bit lighter or an acoustic track or whatever you want to do. Back in the day, it was always just rock music. Itβs still just rock music."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.spin.com/2023/12/ozzy-osbourne-interview/|title=Ozzy Osbourne On Health, Podcasts, Reality TV And A Half-Century Of Rock|work=Spin|date=12 December 2023|access-date=12 January 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.revolvermag.com/music/ozzy-osbourne-ive-never-felt-comfortable-being-called-metal|title=Ozzy Osbourne: I've Never Felt Comfortable Being Called "Metal"|work=[[Revolver (magazine)|Revolver]] |date=13 December 2023|access-date=12 January 2024}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
