More disputes in Ozzy’s life, can’t be that fun for the Osbournes right now.

 

The bassist Bob Daisley who played on quite a few Ozzy Osbourne albums, and even has a songwriting credit on Crazy Train, is suing Osbourne and the Blizzard Music Limited company for  2 million in unpaid royalties on the song.

 

The attorney for the case had said:

 

 

“While Mr. Osbourne was benefiting from the songs co-authored by our client, the audit shows that he was systematically short-changing Mr. Daisley. Mr. Daisley had no choice but to bring this action to secure his fair share of the proceeds those songs have generated.”
He went on to say that a 2014 audit said they’re have been discrepencies.
Ozzy has released a statement about the case:

 

For the past 36 years Mr. Daisley has been receiving bi-annual royalty statements and checks from Blizzard Music, totaling in the millions of dollars, which have been routinely cashed. Mr. Daisley has audited Blizzard Music accounts over the years using several different auditing firms who found no discrepancies. He has previously filed lawsuits in the UK and the US and has lost on each occasion.

We understand that Mr. Daisley is now in retirement and that these funds are his main source of income, so it is his right to be diligent with his money, but after 36 years, this is tantamount to harassment. We would have hoped that after 36 years that Mr. Daisley would have lost his unhealthy personal obsession and resentment towards Mr. Osbourne’s success. Blizzard Music and Mr. Osbourne plan to vigorously defend these proceedings.

 

 

It’s been a rough year for Ozzy, with the details of his sex addiction coming out, the troubles with Sharon, and royalty disputes can get fairly nasty.
