Happy birthday Ozzy! Rock's Prince of Darkness turns 60 today, and to celebrate, Wenn went hunting for the oddest facts about the heavy metal legend.

A man who is seriously living on borrowed time after suicide attempts, all-terrain vehicle accidents and bat biting blunders, Ozzy has become one of rock's true survivors - and we salute him.

Famous for his career rebirths - Ozzy Osbourne went from dyslexic teenage hoodlum, with no apparent future, to fronting heavy metal supergroup formed Black Sabbath. He went solo after he was fired and all his post-Sabbath albums were huge hits. Then, when his music career started dwindling, he resurfaced as a reality TV star - and the man behind Ozzfest.

There's just no writing Ozzy off.

Here's a list of Osbourne facts that may have passed you by:

- Ozzy was named a Living Legend at the Marshall Classic Rock: Roll of Honour Awards in November. On receiving the award from Slash in London, Osbourne joked, "I hope I don't die on the way home."

- His successful Ozzfest tour came about after he was barred from joining the Lollapalooza tour in America.

- Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne's joint fortune is believed to be around $110 million.
