#14: Ozzy Osbourne
Ozzy Osbourne endured an impoverished youth while attending Prince Albert Road Junior School and Birchfield Road Secondary Modern School in Perry Barr. Leaving school at 15 with no qualifications, he worked a series of menial jobs before turning to music. In 1968, he answered a classified ad for a singer, joining forces with Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler to form Black Sabbath, pioneering the heavy metal genre.
