After his death, fans of music legend want a Chipotle burrito named in his honor
A petition calling for Chipotle to create a signature burrito in honor of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne is gaining traction online following his death on Tuesday, July 22, at age 76.
The "Prince of Darkness," was a well-known Chipotle enthusiast, according to the Change.org petition created by Loudwire , an online magazine that covers hard rock and heavy metal news. The petition has already gathered over 7,800 signatures.
In a 2003 episode of his family's reality television series, "The Osbournes," he famously declared himself "Burrito Man" and admitted to eating two burritos daily.
"Among his many accomplishments, he's also remembered for how much he loved Chipotle's burritos," the petition reads. "He was actually the very first recipient of the Chipotle Celebrity Card, which grants high-profile Chipotle fanatics one free meal per day for a whole year."
The Loudwire team added, "At this time, we don't know what Ozzy's typical order was, but if anyone in his camp knows and is willing to share, please get in touch!"
