Black Sabbath Breaks Silence on Ozzy Osbourne's Death Weeks After Final Show
The official Instagram account for Black Sabbath reacted to Ozzy Osbourne's death just two weeks after the band performed its final concert.
"Ozzy Forever," the account wrote alongside a photo of the rock legend onstage at a show.
Shortly after the band paid tribute to Osbourne, several fans took to the comments section to express their sadness over his passing. "WE LOVE YOU FOREVER," one person wrote, and another chimed in, "RIP Prince of darkness."
"Ozzy lived intensely and knew how to say goodbye beautifully. Now he feels the love as he flies endlessly through space. RIP Ozzy, we love you," a third person wrote. Another fan commented, "Love you forever, Oz! Thank you!"
Osbourne's family confirmed that he died at the age of 76 on Tuesday, July 22. "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," the Osbourne family's statement read in an X post on the same day as his passing. "We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time."
While his cause of death has not yet been revealed, Osbourne was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019.
Just more than two weeks before his death, Osbourne joined his Black Sabbath bandmates to perform their final show together titled "Back to the Beginning" with original members Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward.
The show was held at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, on July 5. Not only was the event Osbourne's final concert, but it also marked the first time the original band members performed together since 2005.
The concert clearly meant a lot to Osbourne, as he recalled the show in his final Instagram post on Monday, July 21. Osbourne did not share a caption, though he uploaded a snapshot that featured a black and white photo of the band members with text on the bottom that read, "The Final Show."

I'm Rethinking Amusement Park Rides for Good After Watching Netflix's 'Critical' Docuseries
Each week, Netflix releases a list of the Top 10 films and TV shows dominating the platform, and for the week of July 21, the new original docuseries Critical: Between Life and Death made a big impression on viewers, ranking No. 7 in the platform's most-watched shows. While medical shows -- including series like The Pitt, Pulse and ER -- have always been popular, Critical is an unscripted documentary that depicts real-life emergencies as they're happening. What makes it so captivating is the intensity and high stakes of these situations, and there's no shying away from the blood, open wounds and emotionally distraught patients and their friends and family here. Interestingly, the show fell out of the Top 10 pretty quickly -- after its first week, it dropped. That's not to say it's not popular, but my personal theory is that it has proven a little too intense for some people. That was my reaction, anyway. After a couple of episodes, I couldn't keep pace with all the grim, traumatic events. In fact, I'm shocked I kept watching after the first episode, which featured four people getting thrown from or crushed by a malfunctioning amusement park ride. Being that this is the height of summer and there's a Six Flags nearby that my kids and I frequent regularly, this is not what I wanted to see, and seeing this real incident unfold may have turned me off of fairs and amusement parks for good. I can't be the only person who gets a nagging feeling any time I board any kind of thrill ride that something terrible could happen, that I'm an accomplice to my own Final Destination death scene and here it is, proof that those fears -- while obviously not common -- can come true. The episode depicts the hospital call centers that are first notified of the ride collapse, and we witness ambulances, helicopters and emergency responders dispatched to the scene, later returning with their patients, most of whom are unresponsive. As the four patients injured at the funfair (as it's referred to on the show) are sent to several trauma centers around London, 40 cameras follow them and the health professionals who are helping them. We're given a front row seat to all of their treatments as their bodies are cut open, scans are taken and they're assessed for physical and neurological damage. I'm someone who gets grossed out by Dr. Pimple Popper videos, so there were several moments while watching this show where I had to look away. (Spoiler alert: The patients do get an epilogue of sorts where we learn that all of them not only survived but are back to leading healthy, relatively normal lives.) Netflix The show does address the fact that 50% of calls to the trauma centers in London are because of violence; accidents such as this one are much less common. And yet even with that in mind, I will panic forever at the idea that the giant spinner ride at the fair is going to dislodge and become a flying projectile. Critical: Between Life and Death is a remarkable show for just how close the filmmakers are allowed to get to such life-threatening action but watching the show made me realize some fears I didn't even know I had. At least while watching The Pitt, there was a sense of relief that it wasn't real. Here, there's no such comfort.
