Rest in MetaL, Prince of Darkness.
Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary frontman of Black Sabbath and a towering figure in the world of heavy metal, has died at the age of 76. His family announced his death on Tuesday, July 22, stating he passed peacefully, surrounded by love.
Just hours before his passing, Ozzy shared a final post on Instagram: a backstage photo from his farewell show in Birmingham, with a sign above his dressing room reading: “Back to the Beginning – The Final Show.” A hauntingly perfect farewell.
Ozzy was more than music — he was a revolution. For all of us little headbangers, he changed our lives. He showed us that living louder, heavier, and more joyfully aggressive was not only possible, but beautiful. And yes, we will never forget the image of him biting the head off a bat on stage — raw, chaotic, iconic.
