Ozzy Osbourne's cause of death revealed: Heavy metal pioneer died of a heart attack
The cause of death for Black Sabbath frontman and heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne, has come to light weeks after he died in London at age 76. Osbourne died of a heart attack, according to a death certificate reviewed by the New York Times. The document, filed in London, reportedly lists cardiac arrest and coronary artery disease among the causes of death. The certificate also notes the rocker's years-long battle with Parkinson's disease and that he lived with coronary artery disease. The musician and former reality TV star, bedeviled by health issues for years, died July 22. His family announced his death in a statement shared with The Times. 'He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time, ' the family said. Osbourne, who revealed his Parkinson's disease diagnosis in early 2020, died weeks after heralding the end of both Black Sabbath and his solo career with a concert set in his band's hometown of Birmingham, England. For his farewell, Osbourne reunited with Black Sabbath founding members Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill one-day fest also featured performances by Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Alice in Chains and more. Months prior to his final farewell, Osbourne spoke about the physical toll of his Parkinson's disease, telling his 'Ozzy Speaks' co-host Billy Morrison in January 'I can't walk.' Despite this, he said he is grateful 'I'm still alive.' His wife, former 'The Talk' co-host Sharon Osbourne told the Sun in February her husband's 'voice is as good as it's ever been' and that he is 'very emotional' about his then-impending finale. When news of Osbourne's death spread, musicians including Elton John and Osbourne's Black Sabbath collaborators paid tribute on social media. 'He was a dear friend and a huge trailblazer who secured his place in the pantheon of rock gods — a true legend,' John said. 'He was also one of the funniest people I've ever met.' 'It's just such heartbreaking news that I can't really find the words, there won't ever be another like him. Geezer, Bill and myself have lost our brother,' Iommi wrote on Instagram. Thousands of Black Sabbath fans honored Osbourne's life and legacy last week as his hearse, followed by his wife and children, made its way through Brimingham, the Associated Press reported. A private funeral followed the public celebration of Osbourne's life. Osbourne is survived by his wife and their three children, Aimee, Kelly and Jack Osbourne, and several grandchildren. He also is survived by three children from a previous marriage: Jessica, Louis and Elliot. Times staff writer August Brown and former Times staff writer Nardine Saad contributed to this report.

George Clooney gives co-star Adam Sandler props for his acting skills in ‘Jay Kelly'
George Clooney wants everyone to know Adam Sandler is much more than a funnyman. The pair star in the forthcoming Netflix film 'Jay Kelly' which centers around 'famous movie actor Jay Kelly (Clooney) and his devoted manager Ron (Sandler) as they embark on a whirlwind and unexpectedly profound journey through Europe.' The pair talked to Vanity Fair about the project and Clooney shared his admiration for Sandler's work on the film. 'This film — more than any film Adam has done — shows what a beautiful, heartfelt, soulful actor he is,' Clooney told the publication. 'I kept telling the cast, 'Don't call him Sand Man. Don't talk to him like he's just some goofy comedian. He's actually a really beautiful, wonderful actor.'' Sandler – who has previously earned critical acclaim for his dramatic roles, including 2002's 'Punch-Drunk Love,' 2019's 'Uncut Gems,' and 'Hustle' in 2022 – echoed the feelings of appreciation. 'My character loves George's character so much, and I thought that would be fun to do and easy to do with George,' Sandler said. The actors bond grew even more during filming according to Sandler. 'He invited my family everywhere, every place in Italy and England. Our trailers were next to each other,' he said of Clooney. 'His friends and my friends all hung out, shot hoops, threw the baseball around, talked about other movies we like, other comedians that have made us laugh, his upbringing, my upbringing.' 'Jay Kelly' is in select theaters November 14 and on Netflix on December 5. The trailer was released on Tuesday.
