Ozzy Osbourne has opened up on his fellow rock stars that have reached out to him during his ongoing health issues, noting that while his social circle in the music scene has essentially gotten smaller, he's extremely appreciative of those that have continued to make the effort.

In a new interview with Revolver, Ozzy reveals that he now has a great relationship with fellow Black Sabbath legend Tony Iommi these days, and that the two still text each other regularly. "Tony, God bless him, he comes to my rescue," he says. "And in actual fact, since we've made up, he's been really supportive.

Calls me regularly to see how I'm doing. ""We've had arguments, we've fallen out, we've made up," he adds. "It's just like a marriage.

You get divorced, you get back together. But Tony Iommi - and I can never deny this - there's not a man on the face of the earth who comes up with these gutty, dark, heavy riffs.
