Ozzy Osbourne has died but Black Sabbath legend lives on through music and iconic TV show The Osbournes - how to watch
Following the sad news Ozzy Osbourne has died - the Black Sabbath legend lives on.
It was announced this evening (July 22) that Black Sabbath frontman and all-round legend Ozzy Osbourne has died. The 76-year-old was said to have been with his family and “surrounded by love” at the time of his passing.
The singer was able to bid a final farewell to fans with a Black Sabbath reunion at Villa Park in Birmingham earlier this month, telling fans at the July 5 concert that it was “so good to be on this stage” as he performed his last set from a large black throne.
Ozzy was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019. Following his death, a statement from his family read: “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.”
Distraught fans will now, undoubtedly, be cranking up Ozzy’s hits in homage to the Prince of Darkness, including the likes of Paranoid, Iron Man and Changes, but they can also remember his hilarious antics in the hugely popular MTV show, The Osbournes.
