Ozzy Osbourne Dead At Age 76
Ozzy Osbourne has sadly been confirmed dead at age 76. The heavy metal legend had just finished a final farewell concert for fans, and now his family has issued a statement to confirm his passing just several weeks later.
Osbourne passed away on the morning of July 22, following several years of ongoing health battles including a diagnosis of Parkinson's he revealed in 2020. Here's what his family had to say regarding his death:
'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 76-year-old heavy metal star, who helped pioneer the aforementioned genre of music with his band Black Sabbath, recently had a final concert titled ' Back to the Beginning ' on July 5. Sadly, it occurred only a few weeks ago, and in a location at Villa Park in Aston, Birmingham, England, which is near where the band first originated in 1968.
The concert was notable even prior to Osbourne's death, especially for being what was said to be his final show, one which he performed while seated at a throne due to his poor health. The event was a massive success, however, and the event sported a large audience both in person and online via pay per view.
It's certainly a devastating time in the history of music for Ozzy Osbourne to be dead, especially with the artist having spent so much of his life pioneering new styles of music and iconic songs. Fortunately, he was always adamant about wanting to give a final show prior to his death, and it seems as though he got his wish.
Osbourne is survived by his wife, Sharon, as well as their children, Aimee, Kelly, Jack, and his two older children, Jessica and Louis, who were form his previous marriage with Thelma Riley.
