Legendary rock singer and heavy metal pioneer Ozzy Osbourne, founding member of the seminal rock band Black Sabbath, died Tuesday.

The English recording and performing artist, born John Michael Osbourne on Dec. 3, 1948, was nicknamed “Prince of Darkness.” He was 76.

Osbourne, who has sold more than 100 million records, died just weeks after putting on a farewell show in England with bandmates from Black Sabbath, which was formed in 1968.

He was diagnosed with a form of Parkinson’s disease in 2019 and went public with the news in 2020.

Specific details of his death were not immediately released, but the family’s statement to various media outlets said, “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.”

Osbourne and Black Sabbath were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. He was inducted a second time, as a solo artist, in 2024. The UK Music Hall of Fame inducted him as both a Sabbath member and a solo artist in 2005.

The singer of memorable songs like “Paranoid,” “Iron Man” and “Crazy Train,” which is a staple for revving up crowds at sporting events, also became a reality television star — along with his wife Sharon and children Jack and Kelly — on the 2002 MTV show “The Osbournes.”

According to concert industry trade publication Pollstar, Osbourne sold 2.8 million tickets, grossing $154.8 million, from 223 performances dating to 1999.

His final concert was on July 5, when he performed in the Back to the Beginning concert in his hometown of Birmingham, England, the city where the band was formed.

The concert raised a reported $190 million for three charities: Birmingham Children’s Hospital, Acorn Children’s Hospice and Cure Parkinson’s.

Responding to his death, Black Sabbath posted a photo of the rocker on the band’s X page, with the caption, “Ozzy Forever!”

Kiss bassist Gene Simmons also took to social media to pay his respects, writing, “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 Osborne family.”

  1. All you have to do is go out there and research it you’ll find out he’s been dead since he was 76 he should be about 91 now. But how everything he’s ever had has all been liquified destroyed and there isn’t one bit of fucking evidence that he ever existed on this planet.

    MalcolmX & Martin Luther King’s Murder.
    And what really gets me is I’ve told you many times that George Randolph John Crow Senior had Malcolm X in handcuffs when George’s son John Randolph Crow Jr walked in the door with the loaded gun and blow away Malcolm X’s head away while he was in his father’s handcuffs. He then took out Martin Luther King but nobody gives a shit about these hateful motherfuckers that murdered all y’all because how you went out there and murdered everybody in the fucking countries splendored the fucking cold and did everything you could for the man that killed the two people that stood up for any of you.

    Here’s one that most people wouldn’t know George Randolph John Crow Senior was no other than Adolf Hitler and Dorothy Ellen Shepard was Eva Braun! And their daughter Debra Susan Campbell was married to Gary Keith Horton to have John Clark Gable Jr. Your son John Randolph Crow Jr. They were the most surreal killer satanic narcissist in the world
    So I came up with George Randolph John Crow Senior was no other than Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun was Dorothy Ellen Shepard! And their covert life Dorothy and George were both FBI agents out of Orlando Florida now you can understand why the third right law enforcement has been in play!
    Then your deputy Lovejoy as well as his girlfriend Christina Corpus of the San Mateo County jail rewrited something on my record from a 22 letter word of  ” TRESPASSING ”  with 6 months time served on a Misdemeanor.  That He Rewrote ” Terrorist Plotting” so y’all could go out and murder everybody that I ever met just makes no sense that you can’t believe your own handwriting.
    The U.S. government is paying El Salvador $6 million a year to incarcerate the individuals it sends there.

    Here’s the thing that most people don’t understand about Donald Trump.
    He’s a collaborator for the Germans in the Third Reich henchman Donald Trump is certainly is. He is always been with the Third Reich and always been with the Germans. They have been fighting this country ever since before Abraham Lincoln died in the fucking Opera House. They were the ones on the vessels that brought the Red Coats with them so that the Africans that stole everything from oak Island could burnt down the White House in 1856 and infiltrate America so that everybody would believe that the German Hitler and the Nazi regime had been ended by the war. When Teddy Roosevelt and Eisenhower released Adolf Hitler through Canada and into the United States to retire in Sanford Florida and died in 1971 at a rifle age of 91 years old.

    There was never an escape from Alcatraz Al Capone paid for three officers to go to work for the San Francisco Police Department where they retired and died in the graveyard at the San Francisco Police Department with their photographs at the San Francisco police department for 40 years retirement why there’s all that evidence in the world but yet the law enforcement has been so fucking corrupt ever since that they want to make you believe that they got on too rubber inner tubes that were made out of rubber cement and rubber raincoats and swam all the way over to Angel Island where they later drowned right. 500 trillion dollars they got from the government to search for all them people that never went anywhere but went to work for the San Francisco Police Department on a deal from Al Capone. And each and every escape since then has all been a materialistic value so that they can make trillions of dollars from the county and the city in the state for being the uneducated and unlicensed officers on the streets. 900% of them will tell you that it was not a requirement to have an education in law enforcement. Not a requirement for them to have a driver’s license. It’s not a requirement for them to have a concealed weapons permit. There’s no requirement to be educated licensed. And it’s not a requirement to go to school and get a graduation. To be the disgraceful piece of shit in the nation how that’s no requirement they already have that they’re the biggest brutality of the nation. The third Reich law enforcement
