Ozzy abused drugs and alcohol heavily around 1978-1979 and it was more the less what Tony wanted. So when Ozzy left the band started to fall apart as Bill Ward left and went as did Geezer Butler the same year, after a short period of time Geezer went with Ozzy on a few albums... good times.

When Ozzy was a teenager, he fell in love with The Beatles. He was inspired to start his own band. Ozzy posted a sign at a local music shop, requesting that he needs a gig. He later met with Geezer Butler and joined a band called 'Music Machine'. After Music Machine split up, Ozzy served some jail time. After months went by, he asked the store clerk to take down the advertisement, but the store clerk never did. A couple of months after that, Ozzy's former schoolmate Tony Iommi saw the ad and, eager to find a gig, went to Ozzy with his friend Bill Ward (Drummer). Ozzy, Iommi, and Ward still needed a bassist. Ozzy suggested Geezer Butler as a bassist and Black Sabbath was formed.

Dio quit Black Sabbath following a show in Oakland, California on 13 November 1992, one night before the band were set to appear at Osbourne's retirement show. In his words, "I was told in the middle of the tour that we would be opening for Ozzy in Los Angeles. And I said, "No. Sorry, I have more pride than that." A lot of bad things were being said from camp to camp, and it created this horrible schism. So by [the band] agreeing to play the shows in L.A. with Ozzy, that, to me, spelled out reunion. And that obviously meant the doom of that particular project."

So, basically, it was a matter of pride for Ronnie.

Because they didn't want to spend their lives working in dead-end factory jobs or in jail.

Tony Iommi was very controlling, Ozzy abused drugs and stuff too much so after he left around 79 the band slowly fell apart.
