Ozzy Osbourne said in his last performance:

One of the most known and influential musicians in Rock, Ozy Osbourne died at the age of 76.

As a frontman of Black Sabbath, a musician from Birmingham has been recognized for inventing heavy metals thanks to songs such as Iron Man and Paranoid.

In less than three weeks, the “Prince of Darkness” in its own style performed a farewell concert in his hometown, and was supported by many musicians he was inspired, including Metallica and Guns’ N’roses.

In the statement, his family said: “It’s sad than we can tell you that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed this morning. He is with his family and surrounded by love.”

The star had a series of health problems and was diagnosed as Parkinson’s disease in 2019, but did not specify the cause of death.

The family spokesman confirmed that Osborne died in the UK in the BBC News.

Born in John Michael Osbourne, he dropped out of a 15 -year -old school and spent a short spell in prison for robbery before he started his music career with several low -wage jobs.

He sang with several local bands and joined BLACK SABABATH with guitarist Tony iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward in the late 1960s.

They developed a unique sound inspired by Blues, but often mentioned mysterious alcohol, which was slow, bigger and more ominous.

As they were regarded as pioneers of heavy metals, they released their own title album in 1970, leading to platinum records such as paranoids and masters of reality for 10 years.

Faned from the band in 1978, he started his successful solo career in 1980 with the album BLIZARD of Ozz.

The following year’s diary was much more popular and sold more than 5 million copies.

In the process, Osborne gained a reputation as a live performance without his hinge, which was illustrated by the story of the bat (perhaps apocalyptic), which was once in a bat.

His drinks and drug intake were legendary, leading to unique actions. The Rock Band Motley Crue explained how OSBOURNE once chose an ant on the hotel floor.

His addiction had a dark side. In 1989, he was arrested for murder of his second wife, Sharon.

After the arrest, Osborne spent six months in rehabilitation by the court. He believed he regretted, and Sharon decided not to prosecute.

In 2020, in the nine lives of Documentary Osgen Osborne, she recalled: “I told him, ‘I will kill you if I don’t want money but can do it again.

In the 1990s, his wild image was transformed thanks to the OSBOURNES.

He said this is his true personality.

“Everything on the stage, like crazy, it is only my role and my work.” He told New York Times in 1992. “I am not Christ. I am a family.”

OSBOURNES also created stars of his manager, Sharon, and stars of Children Jack and Kelly. In 2003 he participated in the chart topping version of Sabbath Song Changes.

But in the same year, he suffered a spinal injury in 2003 after a collision associated with a global vehicle or ATV.

In 2019, in the late night autumn, injuries deteriorated, requiring several extensive surgery.

In 2020, the star was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and withdrew greatly after the trip to the Commonwells Game in 2022.

But on July 5, he decided to appear at the last concert at Villa Park in Birmingham.

The musicians sang while sitting on the black throne, waving applause and arms, playing hits including Crazy Train, MR Crowley and War Pigs.

He seemed to be overwhelming at some moment. “You don’t know how I feel at all. Thank you at the bottom of my heart,” he said to the audience.

In the stage, Petera’s front man Phil Anselmo said that artists in the bill would be “all other people,” without Osborne and black sabbatics.

“That’s true. I won’t be here without a black sabbath in my hand.

‘True rock legend’

Many stars, including Ronnie Wood and Metallica in Rolling Stones, paid for Osborne.

On social media, Tony Impi, a co -founder of BLACK SABBATH, said, “I can’t find a word.”

Fellow band member Bassist Terence “Geezer” Butler “Goodbye Dear Friend-Thank you for that period.

Elton John said Osborne said, “A loved one and a huge trail blazer.

A few weeks ago, singer Yungblud, who was in charge of the sign of change in a farewell concert with BLACK SABBATH at Birmingham, welcomed Osborne as a “legend” and said, “I didn’t think you would leave so fast.”

“The world will miss the unique beings and fearless talents of the world,” said Sir Brian May.

Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong posted a photo of the singer on Instagram and wrote:
