Known as the “Prince of Darknessl,” Ozzy Osbourne rose to fame in the 1970s with Black Sabbath, revolutionizing rock with hits like Paranoid, War Pigs, and Iron Man. His solo career took off with anthems like Crazy Train and Mama, I’m Coming Home, solidifying his status as a musical pioneer. Beyond the stage, Osbourne became a household name thanks to the reality TV series The Osbournes, which offered a chaotic and candid look into his family life.
Osbourne had long struggled with health challenges, including a Parkinson’s diagnosis and complications from a 2019 fall. Still, he remained a resilient figure, making surprise appearances and receiving standing ovations, such as his appearance at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
His legacy includes two inductions into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame—once with Black Sabbath and once as a solo artist—alongside five Grammy Awards and decades of global influence.
Ozzy Osbourne is survived by his wife Sharon, their three children—Aimee, Kelly, and Jack—and his two children from a previous marriage, Jessica and Louis.
His music, antics, and larger-than-life persona made him a legend. Ozzy Osbourne may be gone, but the echo of his scream will live on in rock history forever.
