Looking back over my gig photos of Ozzy Osbourne from the times I saw him solo and with Black Sabbath, this one was just captioned, "Get those f~^*ing hands in the air!" It could have just as easily been captioned, "I f~^*ing love you all!" That was Ozzy. RIP, thanks for the memories and the music.
Ozzy Osbourne on stage at Download Festival 2018 in front of a wall of amplifiers, behind a microphone on a stand, with arms outstretched, likely having just told - or about to tell - the audience to "Get those fucking hands in the air!"

Promo photo for Rock Brigade with Steve on Access All Aerials Radio, showing the presenter sat at the desk in the radio studio. Status Quo in an Ames room, as used on the cover of their 1975 album "On the Level". This gives the optical illusion of band members Rick Parfitt & John Coghlan looking small in one corner while Alan Lancaster looks tall in the other. Francis Rossi looks normal size, crouched in the foreground. John Lennon stood in a Hamburg street doorway in 1961, as 3 blurred figures walk by, in a black and white photo taken by his friend Jurgen Vollmer & used as the cover for John's 1975 "Rock and Roll" album. Detail from a Black Spiders EP cover, depicting two of the members in Kiss-style make-up.
