Happy birthday, Ozzy Osbourne!

The legendary Black Sabbath rocker turns 65 today and he's ringing in the milestone B-day by asking fans to donate to charity instead of giving gifts.

Ozzy took to Twitter yesterday to share, "I'm using my bday (tomorrow) to raise money for @royalmarsden! Give a gift and donate to help cancer patients here http://shrd.by/A8Ttyn."

The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity is a U.K.-based organization that provides treatment and care for more than 50,000 cancer patients every year in addition to funding cancer research.
