CHICAGO – Ozzy Osbourne, the famous “Prince of Darkness” rocker and MTV reality-show legend, stopped by the area on Jan. 30, 2010 with a book signing appearance at the Skokie, Ill. Barnes & Noble to promote his new autobiography “I Am Ozzy”.
HollywoodChicago.com’s ace photographer, Joe Arce, was on hand to capture the ex-Black Sabbath lead singer while 2,000 fans waited to meet the “Godfather of Heavy Metal” and MTV reality star.
