In news during last year's COVID outbreak, then-73-year-old rocker Ozzy Osbourne tested positive for COVID-19, meaning the Black Sabbath front-man and self-styled devil worshipper who once "accidentally" bit the head off a live bat on stage was infected with a virus that some experts say may have originated in bats before making the animal-to-human transition.
