A cheeky nod to his own history with bats... Ozzy Osbourne has debuted a new line of merchandise that gives two fingers to coronavirus while also reflecting his own chequered history with bats.
The Prince of Darkness’ new merch range features a long-sleeve T-shirt and matching face mask printed with the phrase “Fuck Coronavirus,” alongside an artwork of a bat wearing a protective face covering.
It’s a knowing nod to Osbourne’s infamous 1982 show in Des Moines, Iowa, when he bit the head off a bat. As for the pandemic itself, the merchandise ties into unproven claims that the outbreak was traced to a wet market in the Chinese city of Wuhan, which specialises in the sale of live animals.
