Ozzy Osbourne made a surprise return to the stage last night (November 21) when he showed up at Post Malone‘s show in Los Angeles at The Forum to perform “Take What You Want,” the track from Malone’s latest album, Hollywood’s Bleeding which features a guest vocal from Osbourne.

The crowd erupted when Osbourne appeared on stage, which is the first time he’s done so since December 31, 2018. Coincidentally, that show was also at The Forum.

Osbourne will be joining Malone and on stage this Sunday, November 24 when they perform “Take What You Want” on the American Music Awards.

Rockers with Tinnitus

  The Prince of Darkness told 'The Sunday Times,' "I suffer from permanent tinnitus . . . which means I've got this constant ringing in my ears, which has also made me somewhat deaf...It's like this Whee! noise in my head all the time. Should have worn earplugs, I guess."

• Brian Johnson

  Share

  The AC/DC singer famously stepped away from the band due to hearing loss issues in 2016. He said in an interview with 'Rolling Stone,' that he forgot to wear earplugs during a race in 2008 which resulted in tinnitus symptoms for about six to seven months.

• Eric Clapton

  Share

  Clapton told BBC Radio 2 in January 2018, "I’m concerned with now is being in my 70s and being able to be proficient. I mean, I’m going deaf, I’ve got tinnitus, my hands just about work. I mean, I am hoping that people will come along and see me for more than that [because] I am a curiosity. I know that is part of it, because it’s amazing to myself that I am still here.”
• Pete Townshend

  Share

  Townshend has dealt with tinnitus and partial deafness for years and uses special in-ear monitors when performing to prevent further hearing damage.

• Jeff Beck

  Share

  In an interview with 'FUZZ' magazine in 2001, Beck said of his tinnitus, "In the last year theres been a major improvement, although it does bug me incredibly from time to time. But for me - this is personally - its definitely in proportion to the quality of sleep. The poorer the quality of sleep, the louder the tinnitus, and the more troublesome."

• Phil Collins

  Share

  Collins is back on stage again, but one of the reasons he stepped away from tour for so many years was due to issues with tinnitus.
• Sting

  Share

  Sting said in a 2016 radio interview that he had begun wearing hearing aids because of the hearing loss he had from tinnitus, but there was an unfortunate side effect. "I tried wearing a hearing aid, but I heard more than I wanted to hear," said Sting. "People talk a lot of sh-t! Unfortunately, there isn’t a bullsh-t filter on hearing aids."

• Neil Young

  Share

  Young has been dealing with tinnitus for years and once said in an interview, "“I made 'Harvest Moon' because I didn't want to hear any loud sounds. I still have a little bit of tinnitus but fortunately now I'm not as sensitive to loud sounds as I was for a year after the mixing of [1991's Neil Young & Crazy Horse live album] 'Weld.' My hearing's not perfect but it's OK."

• Huey Lewis

  Share

  Lewis has both Meniere's disease and severe tinnitus, which led to he and The News to cancel all of their 2018 tour dates when he suddenly lost his hearing.
