I doubt Sharon had anything to do with it. I wish she would just keep her worthless butt in the states and stop threatening to move back to the UK. We don't want her. She's definitely her father's daughter. I'll never understand how Ozzy let her mistreat Lee. He was such a kind man.

Lee's drumming on those first two Ozzy albums is metal drumming at its finest! Lee showed that the drums were as musical as the other instruments and did far more than just compliment the song or keep the tempo, the drum tracks were essential to those songs, they would not be the same without Lee's input. I'm glad he was given his due and proper, not in monetary value of which I feel he and Daisley should've received their share and then some for having to go to court, but in being recognized for his skills, he seems happy so I am happy for him. R.I.P. Lee. Btw, Living Loud absolutely rocked, you showed em what an old drummer could do! Brilliant!

When I first got Diary of a Madman, on the inner sleeve, there was a picture of the band with Tommy and Rudy. Being a huge fan of Tommys from Pat Travers, I marveled at his incredible drum performance and sound! Well, I later found out all the stuff that everyone knows and was introduced to Lee Kerslake and Bob Daisley. Absolutely stunning bass and drum performances. And knowing what I know now, in my opinion, there is no way those albums would have been what they were and still are with Rudy and Tommy. Both incredible in their own right for sure, but Randy, Lee and Bob were 3 masters of the art of music in an amazing few moments of history. Rest in peace, Lee. Your drumming lives on!

Incredible how Sharon had Lee's and Bob Daisley's parts re-recorded to deny Lee and Bob their pay. This is the guy who played Crazy Train as it was originally recorded and even he got the short end of the stick in the "Biz". It boggles the mind, the greed and malfeasance existent in the music industry.

[@ellensparky]

They would call it bussiness

[@unicornsteaks6769]

If you know much about Ozzy, you know he can't really write music. So they essentially stole the songwriting from Daisley. What a way to show your gratitude for someone who carried your dead weight during the process. I try to avoid hearing the 2002 reissue.

*Thank you Lucas, for sharing this interview with us all who are big fans of Lee Kerslake. It would have been awesome to see Lee and Bob in concert during the Blizzard/Diary tours. Although Rudy and Tommy did an excellent job in their place, I wonder how it would have turned out, had Lee and Bob still been part of the group during and after Blizzard/Diary. I was fortunate to see Randy Rhoads, R.I.P., on the Diary tour on February 19, 1982, a month before his untimely passing. Now Lee is gone, but will never be forgotten. R.I.P. Lee. A true legend.*

I loved the first two Ozzy albums, a lot of us did. That was one hell of a band with Kerslake, Daisley and Rhoads, and he had Don Airey on keyboards. Then issues over money and songwriting credit come into play and Ozzy has paid no one for their work since and just has hired sidemen. They really screwed over two guys that had so much to do with getting Ozzy some musical credibility and wrote some really good songs for him. Nice to see Lee had a good time right up until the end.

They took Ozzy and Sharon to court but lost because they don't have such deep pockets to spend on legal fees. It also happened with Jake E Lee, he doesn't get any writing credits or the financial rewards that go with that. He asked Sharon about it and her answer was, "Well, we have everything written and recorded, you either sign an NDA and agree that Ozzy wrote the Bark At The Moon album and make money on the tour, or leave and join a long queue of people who are trying to sue us." Ozzy's response was, "I got fucked over at your age and now I fuck you, it's just business." They didn't do the same thing to Randy Rhoads but when Randy told Ozzy he wanted to leave Ozzy punched him in the face. What lovely people they are!

[@physiciansplaza6557]

highly unlikely as Randy had already told Ozzy he was out after that tour to move on to music he wanted to play. Randy wasn't sticking around, it's odd most people don't know that.

[@ryurman7003]

I'm pretty sure Ozzy and Sharon did screw over Randy, especially after he had given his notice to leave the band after completing the Diary of a Madman tour. Randy's mom Dolores became the executor of his estate when he died in 1982 and she had been after Ozzy and Sharon for all the royalties they never paid him. For years, they gave her the runaround, and sometime in the mid-80's I believe Mrs. Rhoads filed a lawsuit for the back royalties. Suspecting Mrs. Rhoads would have the fan's sympathy (since Randy was the one who gave Ozzy's career a second shot of life) and how bad it would look if she went public with the reason why she filed the lawsuit, lo and behold, Ozzy conveniently released Tribute in 1987, after he vowed he would never release any concert material with Randy. It wouldn't surprise me if Tribute was a quick and easy way to pay off Mrs. Rhoads and get her off their backs.

[@bluebrickwall3207]

Just look at his family's music school and how shabby it looks. Look at the family ...the certainly don't look like they inherited any of Randy's music publishing royalties. Randy was going to leave Ozzy ...the reasons given to the public was that he wanted to spend more time in classical music and so fourth. Bet getting ripped off was part of the reason. I met the drummer for Ratt that replaced Bobby in 1990. He said the Rock music scene and world is filled with maniacs that destroy everything and everyone around them. He said unless you're rich to the point where you can afford all of the lawsuits everyone around you instigates, he said its not a good idea to pursue a career in the industry,

[@MrMultimurrell]

100% Class act...Wonderful life perspective. My friend Glen and I got to know Lee over the course of several tours that came through Seattle in the 70's. We were 2 teenage fans and he remembered us every time Uriah Heep came through and even sent us postcards from England. What rock star does that for their fans??

He died on September 19th, 2020. Why was that not music news? :(

[@GoDamnWeird]

It was news in my house. Vale Lee Kerslake!

[@Innerspace100]

For what it's worth, it was reported by all the major news outlets here in Norway. I had to put on July Morning from the 1973 Heep live album when I saw the news.

Umm. . . newsflash the rest of us get it. Lead singers and lead guitar make the news. Not drummers or bass guys so much. especially whiners.

[@bondomofo7630]

Agreed. I did not hear of Steve Priests passing either until a month or two later.

Guy was a monster

What people don't realize is that Lee was the man for the first two Ozzy albums. That he was very much a part of the songwriting for those albums.

[@johnknouse8846]

He should have never had to wait for the recognition.

[@TheAxe4Ever]

John Knouse Absolutely! But I think he was at the point that he just wanted recognition for his accomplishments. But I agree. Lee and Bob should have been paid ever since the albums came out.

what a sweet, strong, and gracious man. RIP

[@Cymbalman]

Thank You So Much!

Lee is a legend, so many trips with Uriah
