He may have been the “Prince of Darkness,” but everything in Ozzy Osbourne’s home was apparently above board. That is, according to his son, Jack, who’s now coming to his father’s defense.
During a recent interview with comedian Jamie Kennedy, the younger Osbourne answered rumors his famous dad, a heavy metal singer, was involved in some way in Satanic worship or the occult.
“I’ve never seen it,” Jack Osbourne said definitively. “Nothing evil was ever in our household in that capacity.”

The 40-year-old Osbourne went on to tell Kennedy his father, the frontman for Black Sabbath, “was a believer in Christ” and “had the Bible [and] wore a cross every day of his life.”
Ozzy Osbourne died of Parkinson’s disease in July of last year.
Questions about his spiritual beliefs are not unfounded. The British-born rock star was known for disturbing theatrics, including an infamous stunt in 1981, when he reportedly bit the head off a dove in front of CBS Records executives during the signing of his first solo record deal. He did something similar during a 1982 concert after an attendee threw a bat on stage.
The late legend sought to put rumors of occultism to bed in 1986, when he told SPIN magazine he was a Christian and regularly attended Sunday school as a child.
Jack Osbourne blamed the media for spreading rumors and innuendo about his dad, telling Kennedy his father’s experience is “why you cannot … ever trust the news.”
