Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary frontman of Black Sabbath, has died at 76, as confirmed by his family. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019 and transitioned from school to a music career in his teens. Osbourne was a key figure in the emergence of heavy metal during the 1970s. He performed his last concert at Villa Park in Birmingham, where he expressed gratitude to fans for their support. Known for his outrageous stage antics, he held the title of the Prince of Darkness in the rock music scene.
Osbourne was instrumental in pioneering heavy metal, an offshoot of hard rock, as Black Sabbath enjoyed huge commercial success in the 1970s.
He ended his wild career this month when Black Sabbath belted out their most well-known songs in front of 42,000 fans at Villa Park.
It's the last song ever. Your support has enabled us to live an amazing lifestyle. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Osbourne told the crowd after finishing the set with Paranoid.
Nicknamed the Prince of Darkness, he once bit off the head of a bat while on stage.
