Heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne dies at 76
In a heartfelt statement, his family shared, "It is with more sadness than words can express that we must announce the passing of our beloved Ozzy Osbourne this morning. He was surrounded by his family and held in love."
Osbourne was a pioneering force in heavy metal, rising to fame as the frontman of Black Sabbath before carving out a hugely successful solo career.
His legacy includes timeless anthems such as Iron Man, Paranoid, War Pigs, Crazy Train, and Changes. Revered for his distinctive voice, electrifying stage presence, and lasting influence on rock music, Osbourne's impact spans generations.
He was also renowned for his wild, often outrageous stories from his rock star heyday—none more infamous than the moment he bit the head off a bat during a live performance.
Throughout his career, Osbourne has earned a string of prestigious accolades. He was inducted into both the UK Music Hall of Fame and the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice—once as a member of Black Sabbath and again as a solo artist.
He also holds stars on both the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Birmingham's Broad Street. His accolades include an Ivor Novello Award and five Grammy wins from a total of 12 nominations. Over the years, he has also been honoured with titles such as NME's Godlike Genius and Classic Rock magazine's Living Legend award.
In recent years, he had been battling Parkinson's disease and faced a series of health issues, including complications arising from a serious fall in 2019.
