Ozzy Osbourne is one of the only members of his family who has avoided getting sick from COVID in the past year.
And the Prince of Darkness recently expressed his eagerness to be vaccinated, as his numerous adoring followers draw for him.
He has since said he was ‘relieved’ that he received his first dose of vaccine this week, as he and his wife Sharon were instructed on Friday after her recovery from the coronavirus.

The 72-year-old made a remote appearance with Sharon (68) and their dogs in bed in the British talk show Loose Women.
“Of course,” he replied when asked if he still got the vaccine, as his wife explained: “He says, ‘of course’ – he only had it yesterday.”
Ozzy said of the experience: ‘It felt like I was being stabbed. My arm hurt yesterday, but I’m glad I got it, you know? ‘
He gave concern to metal fans earlier this week when he revealed on SiriusXM that he has not yet had to get the vaccine, but is looking forward to it.

Their granddaughter Minnie, three, tested positive for COVID in September, although her father Jack Osbourne (35) and his other daughters Pearl (eight) and Andy (five) were negative.
Daughter Kelly Osbourne, 36, also revealed in December that she has some COVID symptoms, but it appears to be ‘really bad bronchitis’, which irritates her asthma.
Ozzy and Sharon were married in July 1982, and they share Kelly, Jack and daughter Aimee (37), who over the years have mostly stayed out of the spotlight.
