Ozzy Osbourne, iconic frontman of Black Sabbath, passed away on the morning of the announcement, surrounded by his family. His theatrical stage presence and controversial persona earned him the title 'Prince of Darkness.' Diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019, Osbourne left school at 15, worked various odd jobs, and later formed Black Sabbath in 1968 with fellow musicians. Earlier this month, he performed his last set at a Black Sabbath reunion concert in Birmingham, expressing gratitude to fans for their support as he said, 'it was so good to be on this stage.'
"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."
"As frontman of Black Sabbath, he was at the forefront of the heavy metal scene - a deeper, darker offshoot of hard rock."
"Earlier this month, he bid a farewell to fans with a Black Sabbath reunion, telling thousands of heavy metal enthusiasts at Villa Park, Birmingham - a stone's throw from where Black Sabbath was formed in 1968, that it was 'so good to be on this stage'."
