Ozzy Osbourne Memorabilia Hits Auction Block After Death
Ozzy Osbourne
Memorabilia Up For $ale After Death
Published
The Prince of Darkness lives on after death … at least in the form of some of his stage-worn clothes … which are being auctioned off to the highest bidder.
Ozzy Osbourne memorabilia is featured in a new collection of items hitting the auction block at Gotta Have Rock and Roll … including a stage-worn black jacket from the “Retirement Sucks” tour.
The Black Sabbath frontman autographed and inscribed the custom jacket, which comes with tails … and the auction house estimates it will sell for $20,000.
Ozzy’s coat was custom-made by Audrey Carter.
Also up for bidding … a custom black mesh coat Ozzy wore in 2011 for a show. The coat was created by his art director/stylist/designer Lena Hermansson and the auction house says Ozzy wanted the jacket made from mesh because he had a tendency to get himself soaking wet onstage and the mesh would help keep the jacket from becoming too heavy.
The mesh coat is expected to fetch at least $10,000.
A signed copy of Ozzy’s album “Blizzard of Oz” is also up for grabs … and it’s expected to go for at least $5,000.
As you know … Ozzy died Tuesday a couple weeks after his final show with Black Sabbath. He was 76.
The auction starts today and runs through August 8 … and it also features a guitar Randy Rhoads played in 1977 with Quiet Riot.
Randy’s 1974 Gibson Les Paul guitar appears on the back cover of the band’s self-titled debut album … and it’s believed this is the only Rhoads guitar to ever hit the auction block. As such, it’s estimated to go for over $100,000.
