The Irish producer of the hit TV series The Osbournes has paid tribute to the late trailblazer Ozzy Osbourne, who he described as a “down to earth man who loved the Irish.” 

The heavy metal pioneer died on Tuesday at the age of 76 just weeks after performing with Black Sabbath at a big farewell show in his hometown of Birmingham.
