Snorting Ants Was Just the Tip of the Iceberg: Tommy Lee Reveals Just How Wild Ozzy Osbourne Was on Tour in 1984

Throughout his time in the spotlight, Ozzy Osbourne did more than just perform alongside Black Sabbath. He also gained the name Prince of Darkness. And thanks to his rich history in the music industry, many called him the Godfather of Metal. No matter than name, Osbourne’s legacy is full of iconic moments like when he decided to take a bite out of a bat. But that is just the start of the tales that follow the rockstar as Tommy Lee recalled going on tour with Osbourne back in the 1980s.

Appearing on This Past Weekend With Theo Von, Lee decided to share some bizarre stories that happened with Osbourne. He said, “At that time, it was just kind of a thing — everybody was into [trying to] out-rock star and out-gross somebody out, like out-partying. So Ozzy’s wasted. He sees there’s a little trail of ants going all the way to this kid’s popsicle that he left on the ground. And Ozzy looks down and f**king just snorts the line of ants going to the popsicle.”

While more than enough to set a person apart in the rock and roll world, Nikki Sixx didn’t want to be left out. So according to Lee, “Nikki [Sixx] is like, ‘Okay. Well, f**k that.’ So Nikki pulls his d**k out at the pool. This is a hotel. This was, like, the Four Seasons [hotel], I think, in Dallas. And [there were] people, kids, everything. Nikki goes, ‘F**k that. Watch this.’ Nikki goes to pee on the ground and Nikki’s gonna lick up his own piss to outdo Ozzy. And before Nikki could do it, Ozzy f**king beats him to it and licks up his piss.”

Knowing that it was only a matter of time before they all got kicked out, Lee hoped to get Osbourne back to his room without incident. But sadly, fate had other plans. “We get in the elevator. We’re going up, and there’s people in the f**king elevator. He pulls his pants down and he just starts f**king [pushing hard]. He’s sh**ting. I’m, like, ‘Ozzy, dude. No! F**k! Dude, no.’”

Finally getting him to his room, Osbourne offered Lee one last gift when he finished relieving himself. But it didn’t end there as Lee remembered, “He bends down, picks it up and starts painting the walls with his s**t.” With stories surrounding Osbourne still coming to the surface, it seemed the singer was truly a rockstar.
