Ozzy’s family announced his passing today with a statement that read His “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”
News of Osbourne’s passing emerged just over two weeks after the ailing front man reunited with Black Sabbath’s original lineup—Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward—for a triumphant farewell show at Birmingham's Villa Park on July 5. It also featured a number of other bands who were inspired by black sabbath including Guns N’ Roses, Alice in Chains and Metallica. The event drew a crowd of 45,000 fans to the stadium and was watched online by another 5.8 million people worldwide.
At the concert ozzy told the audience “You’ve got no idea how I feel,"sitting on a leather throne because he could no longer stand, his mascara smeared by tears. "Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
Ozzy’s wife Sharon revealed this past february that Ozzy was unable to walk because of Parkinson's disease, but the diagnosis wasn’t affecting his voice.
Ozzy battled other health issues including undergoing repeated spinal surgeries. Osbourne was blunt in past interviews how drugs and alcohol reaked havoc on his health and he singled out his wife for saving his life.
Born John Michael Osbourne in Birmingham in 1948, Ozzy's journey from a working-class kid to a global icon was just incredible. He dropped out of school at 15, and after a few odd jobs, he co-founded Black Sabbath in 1968. The band's 1970 self-titled debut album completely shook the music world. Its dark, heavy, and powerful sound created the blueprint for what would become heavy metal. With game-changing albums like 'Paranoid' and 'Master of Reality,' Black Sabbath didn't just find a following; they built a whole new world. But the band's wild lifestyle, and especially Ozzy's struggles with addiction, led to him being fired in 1979.
That wasn't the end, though—far from it. It was actually a new beginning. Ozzy kicked off an unbelievably successful solo career, starting with the 1980 album 'Blizzard of Ozz.' Powered by hits like "Crazy Train," the album made him a solo legend. Between his work with Black Sabbath and his own releases, he went on to sell over 100 million records worldwide. Then his career took another unexpected turn in the early 2000s with the MTV reality show, 'The Osbournes.' The series, which showed the chaotic daily life of his family, turned the 'Prince of Darkness' into a surprisingly lovable TV dad, winning over a whole new generation of fans.
Ozzy's life was a story of bouncing back, reinventing himself, and pure, undeniable talent. His impact on music and pop culture is impossible to measure, a legacy that will keep inspiring artists for generations to come.
