Ozzy Osbourne has opened up on the early days of Black Sabbath and what it means to be an icon in a new behind-the-scenes video from his Rolling Stone UK cover shoot.
The metal legend, who won the first ever Rolling Stone UK Icon Award last month, opened up in a new interview shot at his home in Los Angeles.
