He co-founded the band Black Sabbath in 1968, and rose to prominence in the 1970s as their lead vocalist. He performed on the band's first eight studio albums, including Black Sabbath, Paranoid and Master of Reality (1971), before he was fired in 1979 due to his problems with alcohol and other drugs.
