BREAKING; Ozzy Osbourne Has DIED at The Age of 76, Just Weeks After Farewell Show -Final CONCERT & Words on Stage
Ozzy Osbourne is Dead; Black Sabbath Singer Dies Surrounded by Love MailOnline 22 JUL 2025 ![]() The Black Sabbath frontman performed from a throne on stage at Villa Park in Birmingham less than three weeks ago. ![]() ![]() ![]() Osbourne has two older children from his marriage to first wife Thelma Riley. Above Osbourne with son Louis in 2009 ![]() ![]() ![]() In a statement, his family said tonight...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. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis. The rocker was able to bid an emotional farewell to his fans on stage this month as he reunited with his original Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward for the first time since 2005. You've no idea how I feel thank you from the bottom of my heart, Osbourne told the crowd in his final speech. The music legend vowed, however, that it would be his final ever performance due to his health, having opened up about his battle with Parkinsons in 2020. The star was a titan of music who somehow survived controversies that would end the careers of many others, and weathered health problems that would leave most of us on our backs. Whether it was biting the head off both a bat and a dove, snorting a line of ants or urinating on a US war memorial while wearing one of his wife Sharons dresses, Osbourne was defined by his antics both on and off stage. The singer, who sold more than 100 million records, will forever be synonymous with the heavy metal band he formed in his home city of Birmingham in 1969. With hits that included Iron Man, War Pigs and Paranoid, Black Sabbaths pushing of occult themes proved both hugely popular and controversial, with a future pope even condemning Osbourne for his subliminal satanic influence Tributes have been pouring in for the superstar following his family's announcement this evening. Elton John wrote So sad to hear the news of Ozzy Osbourne passing away. He was a dear friend and a huge trailblazer who secured his place in the pantheon of rock gods a true legend. He was also one of the funniest people Ive ever met. I will miss him dearly. To Sharon and the family, I send my condolences and love David Coverdale, founder and lead singer of rock band Whitesnake who was reportedly once considered for the role of Black Sabbath frontman paid his respects..My Sincere Condolences To Sharon, The Family, Friends & Fans, he wrote. Sir Rod Stewart also shared a moving tribute. In a statement, the Maggie May star said Bye, bye Ozzy. Sleep well, my friend. I'll see you up there later rather than sooner, before signing off Sir Rod Stewart American heavy metal band Metallica shared a heartwarming photograph taken with Osbourne, alongside a broken heart emoji. English rock musician Ronnie Wood was also quick to pay his respects, writing I am so very sad to hear of the death of Ozzy Osbourne. What a lovely goodbye concert he had at Back To The Beginning in Birmingham X Factor duo Jedward wrote on X Rip Ozzy Osbourne, sending love to Sharon and Kelly and Jack and the whole family TV presenter and comedian Leigh Francis published a touching message on Instagram alongside a photo of himself, Osbourne and his wife Sharon. The saddest news this evening. All the Osbourne family have always been so kind to me. The loveliest people, he wrote. American rapper IceT credited an entire music genre to Osbourne and his band, writing on X RIP Ozzy. Right after the recent huge Black Sabbath final concert. Sad. In my opinion the Creators of Heavy Met Musician Gene Simmons added Sad to report Ozzy has passed away. He was a giant. Admired and loved by millions of fans worldwide. Prayers and condolences go out to the Osbourne family ![]() ![]() ![]() He was also injured in a quad bike crash at his UK home in 2003, an episode that had a serious impact on his fragile health. Yet there was also redemption for the troubled singer, who relaunched himself as a reality tv star in The Osbournes in the early 2000s, after getting clean from drink and drugs with the help of Sharon. ![]() ![]() It saw two of his and Sharons children, Kelly and Jack, become stars in their own right, whilst their other daughter Aimee declined to appear. ![]() ![]() There was a return too to Black Sabbath in 1997, when the original line up got back together. Five years later, he and Iommi were an unlikely part of the star studded lineup at the Queens Golden Jubilee Concert at Buckingham Palace, where they performed Paranoid. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ozzy Osbourne is pictured as a child and during his early years with Black Sabbath, in 1973. ![]() Born John Michael Osbourne on December 3, 1948, the singer was raised by his parents Lilian and John with three older sisters and two younger brothers in a small two-bedroom home in Aston Birmingham ![]() https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ukw8aZViCYk ![]() ![]()

Battle to Save Ozzys Life; Air Ambulance Medics Were Called to Ozzy Osbournes Buckinghamshire Mansion on Tuesday Morning...They Spent Two Hours Trying to Save Him Before He Died
Ozzys Sister Recalls The Heartbreaking Text He Sent Her Before His Death & Sharon Osbourne on Ozzys Infamous Dove Story He Spoke Up For Me When I Was in Prison - Anthrax, Lamb of God, Rick Wakeman And MORE Share Memories of BELOVED Brummie Ozzy MailOnline 25 JUL 2025 ![]() ![]() An air ambulance was called to Ozzy Osbournes multi million pound country home as paramedics battled to save his life ![]() The Thames Valley air ambulance landed in a field close to Welders House, the singers Grade II listed mansion on Tuesday morning at around 10.30am. Its believed that calls from Welders House had led call handlers to believe that the Black Sabbath singers life was in the balance. A chopper was dispatched from Thames Valley ambulance base at RAF Benson in Wallingford, Oxfordshire, some 27 miles from the mansion which is located close to the village of Chalfont St Giles, Buckinghamshire. The crew were airborne for around 15 minutes before landing in the grounds of the mansion and were then with Ozzy for around two hours, trying but failing to save his life, its understood. News of the helicopter drama is the first insight into the finer details of the singers death. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ... He Spoke Up For Me When I Was in Prison - Anthrax, Lamb of God, Rick Wakeman And MORE ![]() After Ozzys death, the heavy metal greats he inspired remember his pranks, generosity and quadruple brandies and relive the tears at his farewell show The joy he was experiencing was infectious -Brann Dailor, drums/vocals, Mastodon My introduction to Sabbath was my moms band, who used to cover War Pigs a pretty faithful rendition. But Ozzy felt more like my discovery, in 1981 or so. I was six years old, a neighbour had Blizzard of Ozz and I would just would stare at that album cover. I fell in love. The Randy Rhoads guitar solos, and then you would see footage of Ozzy and he looked as if he was having the time of his life up there. For a kid, he almost seemed like a cartoon character the joy he was experiencing was infectious, but also the music was visceral. He became my favourite musician. I had a boombox next to my bed with the Tribute live album on at a low volume so nobody in the house would wake up, and Id go to sleep to Ozzy every night. Theres something about his vocal phrasing, a timbre thats so perfectly matched with the music thats playing underneath. He had the ability to emote and tell a story and draw you in, and the melodies he chose were really special. I dont think he got enough credit as a singer to the layperson he was this madman, and to them, the magic lay there and not in his abilities. But the way he sang was so unique and powerful. Its so ingrained in my mind that when I listen back to stuff that Ive done in Mastodon, when I sing, I can tell that its so heavily influenced by him. I like big, heavy riffs with an almost evil sounding, dark, high pitched vocal tonality thats Ozzy to a T. I met him at Ozzfest in 2005 I had got a Randy Rhoads drum kit made, and he, Sharon and Zakk Wylde came over in a golf cart to look at it. But I usually kept my distance just because Im such a huge fan and didnt want to get in the way. Then Mastodon got to play Back to the Beginning, Ozzy and Black Sabbaths farewell concert on 5 July. Some icons of music, they didnt know when it was their last show, take Prince, for instance. And so it was really, really special for them to perform a definitive final show. Mastodon were on first and I was unsure if it was going to be just a couple of people in the crowd when we played. But we were driving to the stadium, passing all the pubs, and they were filled with people and you could hear Sabbath blasting out of them at 9.30am. And then we got there and all the bands, from Metallica to Slayer to Anthrax, are at the side of the stage, they want to see us do our thing. It was this really palpable energy, this big feeling of love for Black Sabbath, to honour them the proper way But then you knew that the big moment was looming Ozzys gonna play. This is the last time you're gonna hear Crazy Train. -Dailor begins crying. Mr Crowley, the beginning, the organ, it was so powerful. Everybody was crying. It was just like, oh my God, this is the last time we're going to see this. Then Tonys guitar, Geezers bass he was ripping, it was insane and Bills drums. Those four super special guys doing their thing. The gravity of the moment hit everybody at the same time, that this is it. It was a beautiful moment to be in. Sabbath were so influential because they were so riff centric, and that just really didnt exist before. You had some bands that were close to it but nobody really took that leap into the sound of horror. Like with Led Zeppelin, it got kind of dark, with Deep Purple, there were some moments. Something was swirling around in the air but Black Sabbath realised it. ![]() They knew that could be a real wealth of inspiration, to really tap into this darkness that exists out there and inside of everyone, but also in a playful way ![]() ![]() Ozzy is a LEGEND and will NEVER be forgotten....

To resolve the issue, she is said to have arranged for Ozzy to be seated in a throne throughout the performance. This allowed him to deliver five solo tracks and four Black Sabbath classics despite his health struggles. It really speaks so much to Sharons drive and focus to get it all pulled off, because of the health issues. She was a miracle worker. Ozzy took to the stage for his farewell concert at Villa Park Stadium in his native Birmingham less than three weeks before his death. The rocker reunited with his original Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward for the first time since 2005 to bid an emotional farewell to his decades of performing live on stage. After selling out in minutes, over 42,000 fans packed into Villa Park for the aptly titled Back to the Beginning show, which saw Ozzy and Black Sabbath return to their hometown 56 years after they formed there. ![]() The final photograph of him before his death was taken on stage as he sat on a black throne aptly decorated with a bat to perform his best known hits for his loyal fans.... ![]() ![]() |
