Ozzy Osbourne's cause of death revealed
The 76-year-old Black Sabbath frontman died on 22 July following years of health challenges, including a public Parkinson's disease diagnosis in 2019, and documents now show he passed away from an 'acute myocardial infarction' and 'out of hospital cardiac arrest'.
His death certificate has emerged after the heavy metal icon, widely known as the Prince of Darkness, gave a final farewell performance in his hometown of Birmingham shortly before his death.
The gig, which was followed by a coffin-led procession through the streets to Black Sabbath Bridge, marked a symbolic return to the city where his career began.
Ozzy was later laid to rest by the lake on the grounds of his Buckinghamshire estate after a private funeral attended by family, close friends, and fellow rock musicians.
Among the attendees were his children, including 40-year-old Aimee Osbourne, who has maintained a low public profile in contrast to her siblings.
While Jack Osbourne, 39, and Kelly Osbourne, 40, rose to fame in the early 2000s through the hit MTV reality series The Osbournes, Aimee notably declined to take part.
Speaking on the Disrespectfully podcast, Jack reflected on the long-standing distance between him and Aimee.
He said: 'Back then she really wanted to be a musician.
'The kind of musician she wanted to be was like a Fiona Apple, Mazzy Star – like this kind of obscure, mysterious, moody... and she deemed doing a show on MTV as low-hanging fruit.'
Jack continued: 'She was like, 'I'm not going to be seen riding coat-tails,' kind of thing, that's how she perceived it.
'Once the show was hugely successful, I think she was kind of like, 'Well I can't now come on because I don't want to be seen even more so as jumping on the bandwagon.' And she dug her heels in and wanted to be relatively private and obscure.'
When asked if Aimee ever expressed regret for avoiding the show, Jack said: 'I've never had the conversation with her, we're not close at all.
'We don't have a great relationship, she'll be the first to tell you that, so it's no secret. I've never asked her outright, 'Do you regret it?'
'I think there must be a level of like, 'Hey, my life would have probably been different than what it is if I'd done that.' So I don't know, I think I would feel like I would have regretted it.'

Clean Bandit's Grace Chatto reveals toll teenage drug use took on her speech
Clean Bandit star Grace Chatto has claimed taking drugs as a teenager left her with slower speech. The 39-year-old cellist for the Grammy winning group shared some previously unknown facts about herself in a TikTok post, including how her drug use impacted her brain, and not being able to get car insurance because of a driving ban. She typed on a picture of herself looking into a mirror: 'I speak so slowly because I took too many drugs when I was a teenager.' She wrote: 'I can't get car insurance because I had a driving ban.' Grace also admitted she "ghosted all my friends", "can't get out of bed", and is "socially awkward". The Rather Be hitmaker used her band's latest song, Believe - featuring South African artist Lloyiso - to soundtrack the post. Upon swiping right, a second mirror shot showed her with "luscious locks" after saying her hair is "like hay". She typed on that picture: 'But I believe in us. Won a Grammy, gratitude for all that I have, I am strong, I'm nice, I am honest.' Meanwhile, Clean Bandit loved working with the Idols South Africa star Lloyiso so much, they haven't ruled out him joining the band as a permanent singer. Founding member Jack Patterson recently told when asked if he could lead the band full-time: 'Maybe Lloyiso. Never before but maybe now.' Grace hopes bandmates Jack and Luke Patterson make an album with Lloyiso. She said: "Jack is going to the Burning Man Festival, and we are trying to convince Lloyiso to go with him so they can write an album with him." Clean Bandit have never had a constant singer and have recruited the likes of Anne-Marie, Jess Glynne and Zara Larsson to front their tunes in the past. Grace said of working Lloyiso: "This is the most organic collaboration we have ever done I think, because we were in South Africa in Cape Town, and we met Lloyiso quite randomly after a performance. His friends, these two producers called 'The Imports' asked us to stay out here. We were meant to fly back to London to write some songs, and Jack and Luke did go back to London, so I went on my own and we all stayed in this big house, and we made writing rooms in every bedroom. I always like to be in bed, so it was perfect to be in bed. We had keyboards all over the bed, and guitars and everything, and we started a beat, and Lloyiso just came out with an incredible melody that became the chorus, and I have never heard such a beautiful voice. It was so moving, and I said, 'sing it again', and voice-noted it to send to Jack who had just landed in Heathrow. He went crazy and immediately wrote some chords under that melody."

Jack Osbourne's heart is 'full of so much sadness'
Jack Osbourne's heart is "full of so much sadness" following the death of his dad Ozzy Osbourne. The Black Sabbath star died on July 22 - just two weeks after he reunited with his bandmates for a huge reunion show in his hometown of Birmingham - and the tragedy left his son Jack, 39, totally devastated. He's now shared a poignant tribute to Ozzy and insisted he feels "lucky and blessed" to have him as his father. In a post on Instagram , Jack wrote: "I haven't really wanted to post anything since the passing of my father. My heart has hurt too much. "I'm gonna keep this short because he certainly hated long rambling speeches. He was so many things to so many people, but I was so lucky and blessed to be apart of a very small group that got to call him 'Dad'. "My heart is full of so much sadness and sorrow, but also so much love and gratitude. I got 14,501 days with that man and I know that is such a blessing." Jack went on to share a quote from Hunter S. Thompson which he believes "best describes my father". The quote read: 'Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body ... but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'Wow! What a ride!'" Jack concluded: "That was my dad. He lived and he lived his life fully. I love you dad." Jack's post comes days after his sister Kelly Osbourne, 40, described the death of their father as the "hardest moment of my life". T In an emotional post on her Instagram Stories on Monday (04.08.25), Kelly explained she is still trying to process her loss. She wrote: "I've sat down to write this a hundred times and still don't know if the words will ever feel like enough ... but from the bottom of my heart, thank you. "The love, support and beautiful messages I've received from so many of you have truly helped carry me through the hardest moment of my life. Every kind word, every shared memory, every bit of compassion has meant more than I can ever explain." She continued: "Grief is a strange thing - it sneaks up on you in waves - I will not be ok for a while - but knowing my family are not alone in our pain makes a difference. I'm holding on tight to the love, the light, and the legacy left behind. "Thank you for being there. I love you all so much."
