The world of rock and heavy metal is in mourning as Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary frontman of Black Sabbath and one of the most iconic figures in music history, has died at the age of 76.
Just weeks before his passing, Ozzy delivered what would be his final live performance, closing the curtain on a career that helped shape the very foundation of heavy metal. It was a fitting, powerful farewell from an artist who gave everything to the stage — even as he battled serious health issues in his later years.
Known globally as the "Prince of Darkness," Osbourne’s influence stretched across five decades, beginning with the birth of heavy metal through Black Sabbath’s groundbreaking early albums and continuing through a storied solo career that delivered genre-defining records like Blizzard of Ozz and No More Tears. With his unmistakable voice, rebellious spirit, and unforgettable stage presence, Ozzy helped shape and define what heavy metal would become.
More than just a vocalist, Ozzy was a cultural phenomenon — from MTV’s The Osbournes to collaborations with metal and pop artists alike, he never stopped evolving. His raw honesty, wild persona, and unforgettable voice inspired generations of musicians and fans around the globe.
He is survived by his wife Sharon Osbourne, their children, and a worldwide legion of fans who will carry his music — and his spirit — forward.
One final bow. One eternal legacy. Ozzy Osbourne has left the stage — but his voice will never fade.
