OZZY OSBOURNE DEAD AT 76
The rock game just lost one of its GOATs. Ozzy Osbourne, the iconic frontman of Black Sabbath and certified Prince of Darkness, is dead at 76, leaving the world in shock. The Osbourne family confirmed he passed away this morning, surrounded by family and close loved ones.
From the Gutter to Greatness
Born John Michael Osbourne in Birmingham, England, Ozzy turned pain into power. He helped invent heavy metal as the lead singer of Black Sabbath, blessing us with fire classics like Iron Man, War Pigs, and Paranoid. After leaving the group in 1979, he flipped the game with solo hits like Crazy Train, and even birthed the Ozzfest tour that gave shine to rising rock stars.
Later, Ozzy invited us into his chaotic, hilarious, and loving home with The Osbournes on MTV—a reality show that cemented his icon status with a whole new generation.

Final Show Before the Exit
Just three weeks ago, on July 5, Ozzy reunited with his OG bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward for a one-night-only charity concert titled “Back to the Beginning” in his hometown. Despite battling Parkinson’s disease and spinal issues, the rocker performed from a throne and raised over £140 million for kids’ charities and Parkinson’s research.
Family Speaks Out
In a statement that hit fans worldwide, the Osbourne family wrote:
“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.”
