"That might be a very true statement," he replied. "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."Asked who his ultimate rock star is and why, Ozzy said: "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!"Osbourne landed in the 23rd place in Kerrang!'s "50 Greatest Rock Stars In The World Today". Asked why he thinks he made the list this year, Ozzy replied: "[Why?] Probably because I'm Ozzy Osbourne! But the past year, with the success of SABBATH's '13' album and the world tour, probably didn't hurt
