Ozzy Osbourne Taught Son Jack How Not To Parent

(Classic Rock) Ozzy Osbourne's son Jack says the Black Sabbath frontman's behavior taught him how not to be a parent. But he adds that there were some positives to growing up with the Prince of Darkness.

The pair recently filmed a history documentary series, Ozzy & Jack's World Detour, which included a return to the Alamo in Texas - scene of the singer's controversial arrest in 1982.

Jack tells People: "Conversations with him never felt like a dad telling you what to do. It was always very relaxed - which is, I think, crucial. There's so much talk about how to talk to kids. Well, just talk to them like they're people. They just are. They're just smaller and not quite as mature."

He continues: "One thing he did say is, 'Always be on time.' My mum's always late, and I'd always get left at school for ages. My dad was more prompt when he'd come get me."

But he adds: "He also, through example, taught me a lot of what not to do - which was great." Read more here.
