Ozzy Osbourne has passed away at 76 years old, with his family announcing his death. As the lead vocalist of Black Sabbath, Osbourne also had a successful solo career and appeared in the reality show The Osbournes. He was open about his struggle with Parkinson's disease and expressed gratitude towards his fans. His final album, Patient Number 9, was released in 2022, and he performed at a reunion concert shortly before his death. Fellow musicians have paid tribute to his legacy and impact on rock music.
Ozzy Osbourne has died at 76 years old, his family announced in a statement. "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," they wrote. "He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time."
In addition to his solo music career, Osbourne ventured into television with The Osbournes - the early 2000s reality show that followed the "Crazy Train" singer, his wife Sharon, and two of their children, Kelly and Jack.
At the time, Osbourne said his fans were his "air," and expressed his desire to keep playing music. "And I just hope they hang on and they're there for me because I need them," he said.
He released what would be his final album, Patient Number 9, in 2022, and weeks before his death, he reunited with Black Sabbath at his "Back to the Beginning" concert in Birmingham, England.
