Bob Daisley , former bassist for Ozzy Osbourne , said he didn't want to return to the Prince of Darkness after the experience with Blizzard of Ozz (1980).
The musician was an important partner in Ozzy's solo career throughout the 1980s, having co-written hits such as "Crazy Train" and "Mr. Crowley." Unfortunately, despite his great contributions to the legendary vocalist's catalog, their relationship deteriorated due to legal battles , and the two have not spoken for about 25 years.
Daisley explained the main reason for participating in Bark at the Moon (1983) after the success of the band's debut album. At the time, the bassist had collaborated with Uriah Heep on the albums Abominog (1982) and Head First (1983).

“To be honest with you, I didn’t want to go back to Ozzy, but I kind of needed to. Things weren’t taking off like I expected with Uriah Heep and it was really to get support from the record label, but it didn’t happen,” he told Joel Gausten (via Ultimate Guitar ).
In 2018, the bassist sued Ozzy Osbourne for royalties from "Crazy Train," claiming that he was "compensated with a contribution lower than what was previously agreed upon."
