Ozzy Osbourne is clueless as to who will 'carry the flag' for rock
stars from now on.
The 65-year-old musician was the frontman of legendary
band Black Sabbath and has also had a successful solo career.
Having now left his wild days behind, Ozzy admits he's concerned about who can
take over his reputation.
"That might be a very true statement," he commented
to Kerrang! magazine when asked if he thinks music is suffering from a lack of
rock stars. "I honestly don't know who's going to carry the flag in the
future, but I wish someone would hurry up. None of us are getting any younger,
you know."
Ozzy also named one of his idols in the
music industry. Insisting someone must be an 'extrovert' to be considered a rock star, he explained why he looks up to one particular musician. "David Bowie comes to mind. He's always original with his image and music. Nowadays, I have a problem telling who's in the band and who's in the crew ... no one looks like a rock star!" Ozzy mused.

The raven-haired singer landed the 23rd spot in Kerrang!'s 50
Greatest Rockstars In The World Today. Asked why he thinks he made the list
this year, Ozzy believes his band helped him gain the title.
"[Why?] Probably because I'm Ozzy
Osbourne!" he quipped. "But the past year, with the success
of Sabbath's 13 album and the world tour, probably didn't
hurt."
Lastly, Ozzy revealed he never dreamed of becoming such a big
name in music, revealing he thought he'd end up a plumber.
