Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary “Prince of Darkness,” has passed away surrounded by his loving family. In a heartfelt statement, Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and Louis expressed their deep sorrow and asked for privacy during this difficult time.

Known for his wild antics and unforgettable voice, Ozzy helped define heavy metal with Black Sabbath and remained a cultural icon for decades. From biting the head off a bat to starring in The Osbournes, his chaotic charm won over generations of fans.

Earlier this month, he reunited with his bandmates for one final emotional performance, telling fans it would be his last due to his health struggles, including a long battle with Parkinson’s.

Tributes have poured in from across the world. Black Sabbath simply wrote: “Ozzy Forever.” Metal legends Pantera thanked him for paving the way. Piers Morgan recalled Ozzy as “one of the funniest people I’ve ever known,” while Aston Villa FC honored the local hero who never forgot his roots. PETA praised his compassion for animals, and artists like Yungblud and Rod Stewart shared personal memories of a man who inspired them deeply.

Ozzy Osbourne leaves behind a legacy of music, mayhem, and love that will live on forever.
