Answer: Ozzy Osbourne

Ozzy Osbourne has many talents. Musically, he is famed for being the vocalist for Black Sabbath and also a solo artist, with the ability to spot a talented, relatively unknown guitarist and bring out the best in them. He is also known as a reality TV star, thanks to MTV show, "The Osbournes" which ran from 2002 to 2005, and is a huge history buff, as evidenced on TV show, "Ozzy & Jack's World Detour", although years of substance abuse often make his retention of historical facts slightly sketchy.

"Changes" (2003) was originally a Black Sabbath song, recorded by the band in 1972, about the break up between drummer Bill Ward and his wife, and the lyrics were slightly altered to give the Kelly and Ozzy version a more personal feel.
