Today Ozzy Osbourne, The Prince of Darkness, celebrates his 73rd birthday. Ozzy is famed for his shocking on and off stage antics from biting the head off a bat to snorting ants to urinating wherever he feels like it. He also became a renowned rockstar-turned reality star when The Osbournes, a show about the domestic life of his family, aired on MTV in 2002.

8. He has dyslexia
