Just two weeks after he fought through Parkinson’s to give his fans one last show in Birmingham, the Prince of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne has passed away aged 76.
We all knew Ozzy hadn’t been doing well recently – his battle with Parkinson’s Disease has been public for years – but it still comes as something of a shock, especially coming so soon after his farewell show. It’s awesome that he got to experience that before he passed, especially as he’d spoken for years about wanting to get back on stage to play one final show, in which he got treated like the rock/metal legend that he is.

Not only that, the concert also raised $200 million for charity. Now that’s special.
And so, as in his life, legends of the music/entertainment game are paying tribute to Ozzy in death, as we head to what will surely be an extravagant, packed-out funeral for Black Sabbath legend…
RIP Ozzy. Blast some of his tunes to pay your respects today.
For the time Ozzy’s mind was completely blown at hearing his voice sampled in a Lil Jon track, click HERE. Hilarious.
