🤘 On this day, September 28, 1988
Osbourne released his legendary album “No Rest for the Wicked” in the United States — the first to feature guitar virtuoso Zakk Wylde, who would become a key part of Ozzy’s sound.

This was Ozzy’s fifth solo studio album and includes classics such as:
• Miracle Man
• Crazy Babies
• Breakin’ All the Rules

The record peaked at #13 on the Billboard 200 and went on to be certified Double Platinum in the U.S., cementing Ozzy’s reign as the “Prince of Darkness” in the late ’80s heavy metal era.

⚡️ No Rest for the Wicked marked a new chapter in Ozzy’s career with a heavier, darker sound that defined a generation of metal fans.
