He bit a dove

The year before Ozzy's most infamous animal incident, the metal singer bit the head off A DOVE!

After giving a speech to CBS executives at a sales convention in Los Angeles ahead of the US release of his first solo album, Blizzard of Ozz, in 1981, Ozzy was supposed to give a speech of thanks to his audience and then release three symbolic doves of peace, however, the stunt ended up more like a horror movie due to Ozzy's intoxication.

He recalled: "I just remember this PR woman going on and on at me. In the end, I said, ‘Do you like animals?’ Then I pulled out one of these doves and bit its head off. Just to shut her up. Then I did it again with the next dove, spitting the head out on the table, and [the woman] fell on the floor screaming.”
