Ozzy Osbourne has released a plush bat toy to celebrate the 37th anniversary of him biting off the head of a real bat. During a performance in Des Moines, Iowa, on January 20, 1982, the former Black Sabbath frontman famously tore the head of a live bat that was thrown at him from the crowd. He actually thought it was a fake bat but later discovered it was real and alive. “Today marks the 37th Anniversary since I bit a head off a f*cking bat,” Osbourne tweeted. “Celebrate with this commemorative plush with detachable head.” The bat toy, which is on sale for $40, is described, “Bring the legendary moment in rock history to life with this soft toy Plush Bat, featuring the Ozzy Osbourne logo and a velcro detachable head.” In his 2009 memoir I Am Ozzy, Osbourne said, “Immediately. something felt wrong. Very wrong. For a start, my mouth was instantly full of this warm, gloopy liquid, with the worst aftertaste you could ever imagine. I could feel it staining my teeth and running down my chin. Then the head in my mouth twitched.” Further, he received rabies shots for 30 days following the incident. Copyright(c) 2019 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
