'I learnt to sing on the holte end' - Ozzy Osbourne
Where have you read/heard that?
I was a bit dubious about that quote so I googled it and as I suspected it is down to some very dodgy journalism.
In an article titled "Ozzy owes it all to the Holte End." the first line reads "ROCKER Ozzy Osbourne has revealed where he learnt to sing - on the Holte End at Aston Villa." The article then goes on to quote Ozzy, who doesn't actually say anything like that. Here's the rest of the article:
"Me and mates used to hang around Villa Park on match days," said the Black Sabbath legend.
"We'd look after cars for a few bob, make sure no-one nicked or scratched them.
"I remember standing on the Holte End a few times. It was always f****** great fun.
"I had some favourite players - Peter McParland, Jimmy MacEwan, Alan Deakin. I had their posters on me wall as a kid.
"But I was never as big a fan as one our bassist Geezer Butler.
"When Villa lost, he'd lock himself in his room for a day, turn out the lights and draw down the blinds.
"He'd be in a depression for ages."
