The Black Sabbath frontman passed away ‘surrounded by love’ at his UK estate at the age of 76, his family announced yesterday (July 22).
It came just 17 days after his last performance on stage, as the original members of Black Sabbath got together to perform one last show for the first time in 20 years – although the singer’s appearance came amid ongoing health concerns.
In 2019, Osbourne was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, and was suffering with a series of other health conditions at the time of his death – although a cause of death is yet to be confirmed.
On July 9, Kelly Osbourne, one of the Brummie’s six kids, took to TikTok to share with fans that she had gotten engaged to her fiancé, Slipknot member Sid Wilson – having posted a viral video last year in which she revealed that his face had been singed following an explosion.

In the recording, Sharon Osbourne – who was sat next to her husband of 43 years – can be heard saying ‘you’ve got to be quiet, hold on’, before Wilson addresses their daughter.
In front of a crowd of people, which was later confirmed to be their friends and family, the 48-year-old said: “Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world…”
Osbourne then interjects, quipping: “F**k off you’re not marrying my daughter.”
As the audience erupted into laughter, Wilson continued: “Nothing would make me happier than to spend the rest of my life with you. So, in front of your family and all of our friends… Kelly, will you marry me?”
As he places the ring on her finger, Osbourne can be seen beaming in the background.
Confirming Osbourne’s sad passing yesterday, a statement from the singer’s family read: “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.”
After Black Sabbath formed in 1968, Osbourne was at the forefront of the heavy metal scene – a deeper, darker offshoot of hard rock that took the world by storm in the 1960s and 1970s.
His theatrical stage presence, including once biting off the head of a bat and styling himself as the Prince of Darkness, marked him out as a controversial figure.
But his role in the reality show The Osbournes alongside Sharon, Kelly and Jack gained him even more global fame and admiration.

Kelly Osbourne has revealed all when it comes to her parents’ alleged suicide pact.
The singer and reality TV star has lashed out after numerous reports suggested that her mom and dad had set up plans to die by assisted suicide if either was to be diagnosed with a terminal illness.
Kelly, 40, shared the truth behind the claim her parents Ozzy and Sharon made years earlier.
The TV personality rushed to her Instagram stories on Friday July 11 to address the speculation and also hit out at those who have been claiming that her dad is ‘dying’.
It all began in 2023 during The Osbournes podcast, when Sharon revealed euthanasia was ‘still a plan’ for her and the Black Sabbath singer.
Sharon said: “Do you think that we’re gonna suffer?”

However, even before the episode, Ozzy previously spoke about it in 2014 and revealed that if he had a ‘life-threatening condition’, he would be open to assisted suicide.
But Kelly is hitting back at claims that it’s really going to happen.
She said to her followers: “I don’t know what side of the bed I woke up on today, but I woke up on a f**king I’m gonna f**k you up and fight you day.”
She raged: “Stop making articles or posts about how you think my parents are having a suicide pact”.
She even went on to claim that it was all an attention seeking ploy, ranting: “That was bulls**t my mom said to get attention one time. And my dad’s not dying. Stop!”
The topic of euthanasia was initially brought up on their podcast by son Jack, who asked if it was ‘still a plan’ for them.
When Sharon asked if he thought they would suffer, he said: “Aren’t we already all suffering?”
To this, Sharon said: “Yes, we all are, but I don’t want it to actually hurt, as well. Mental suffering is enough pain without physical. So if you’ve got mental and physical, see ya.”
Kelly then asked if the possibility of surviving would change her mind, and Sharon was set in her stance.
She said: “Yeah, what if you survived and you can’t wipe your own a**, you’re pissing everywhere, s**tting, can’t eat.”

Sharon was once interviewed by The Mirror in 2007, and revealed that she had planned to end her life by assisted suicide if necessary, and had even told her children.
She said: “Ozzy and I have absolutely come to the same decision.
“We believe 100 percent in euthanasia so have drawn up plans to go to the assisted suicide flat in Switzerland if we ever have an illness that affects our brains. If Ozzy or I ever got Alzheimer’s, that’s it – we’d be off.”
As for the rumor that Ozzy is dying, there have been videos created using her father’s voice generated by AI where he admits to knowing that he doesn’t have long left.
To this, Kelly posted a reel slating: “’So, there’s this video going around on social media and it’s supposed to be of my dad and it’s AI.
“And it has a voice like my dad’s David Attenborough or something and it starts out saying, ‘I don’t need a doctor to tell me that I’m going to die. I know I’m going to die.’”
She said: “What the f**k is wrong with you people? Why would you spend your time making a video like this? He’s not dying!”
Ozzy was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2003 and has been battling it ever since.
Earlier this month in Birmingham, Ozzy completed his final live show, reducing the Villa Park stadium to tears, and singing about ‘coming home’ to his native city.
