Ozi Osbourne, heavy metal legend, who arose for fame in the leading group Black Sabbath, his family said in a statement to CBS News partner BBC News. He was 76 years old.
The family said in a statement to the BBC, “It is more sad that it can only tell us that our beloved Ozi Osbourne has died this morning.” “He was with his family and was surrounded by love. We ask all to respect our family privacy at this time.”
Either in black or bare-ravaged, the singer often aimed at the groups of parents for his imagination and once created a ruckus to cut the head with the bat. Later, he will reveal himself to be a doding and sweet father on the reality TV show “The Osbornness”.

Black Sabbath’s 1969 self-examination debut LP has been compared to a huge explosion of heavy metal. It came during the height of the Vietnam war and crashed the hippie party, causing the danger and reins. The cover cover was of a scary figure against a Stark landscape. The music was loud, dense and angry, and marked a change in the Rock ‘N’ role.
The second album of the band, “Paranoid” included classic metal tunes such as “War Pig,” “Iron Man” and “Fair Wear Boots”. The song “Paranoid” reached only number 61 on the Billboard Hot 100, but the band’s signature was formed in many ways. Both albums were voted from the Rolling Stone Magazine readers from the top 10 largest heavy metal albums of all time.
Band Jane’s addiction Dave Navaro wrote in a 2010 tribute to Rolling Stone, “Black Sabbath is heavy metal beetles. Whoever is serious about metal will tell you that it all comes to Sabbath.” “There is a straight line that you can pull back from today’s metal, the eighties bands like iron maiden, back to Sabbath.”
Sabbath fired Osbourne in 1979 for his mythological excesses, such as showing late for rehearsals and missing gigs. “We knew that we had not really an option, but to dismiss him because he was just out of control. But we were all very low about the situation,” Bassist Terry wrote “Geyser” Butler in his memoir, “In the Wayed.”
Osbourne renewed the next year as “Oz’s Excession Key Storm” and next year “Diary of a Madman,” both published as a single artist with both hard rock classics, which are “Crazy Trains,” “Goodbye to Romance,” Flying High “and” You Can Rock and Roll. ” Osborne was included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice – once in 2006 with Sabbath and Again in 2024 As a single artist.
The original Sabbath lineup first joined the UK in 2025 for the first time in 20 years, said Osborne said that his last concert would be. “Let the madness begin!” He told 42,000 fans.
Metalica, Guns N Rosage, Slair, Tool, Pantera, Gojira, Alice in Chains, Lamb of God, Halstorm, Anthrax, rival Sansa and Mastodon were set. Tom Moreloo, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Billy Corgon, Ronnie Wood, Travis Barker, Sammy Hagar, Andrew Wat, Yungabalp, Corn’s Jonathan Davis, Nuno Bettcort, Chad Smith and Vernon Reid. Actor Jason was a host for Momoa festival.
“Black Sabbath: We will all be different people without them, this is the truth,” said Pantera singer Phil Anselmo. “I know that I will not be here with a microphone in my hand without Black Sabbath.”
Osborne embodied metal excesses. His outlandish exploits included relieving themselves on Alamo, snatching a line of ants from a pavement, most memorablely, cutting the head with a live bat that a fan threw on stage during a 1981 concert. (He said that he felt that it was rubber.)
Osbourne was sued by a 19-year-old teenager’s parents in 1987, who died of suicide listening to his song “suicide solution”. The trial was rejected. Osbourne said the song was actually about the dangers of alcohol, which led to his friend Bon Scott, the leading singer of AC/DC.
John J, the then Cardinal of New York. O’Coner claimed in 1990 that Osbourne’s songs committed demonic occupation and even committed suicide. “You are unaware of the true meaning of my songs,” the singer wrote back. “You have also insulted the intelligence of rock fans worldwide.”
The audience of the osborne show can be given the moon or spit by the singer. They often used to shout with songs, but the devil-interview Osbourne usually used to send the crowd home with his ears and a hearty “God Blass!”
He began an annual tour – Ozafest – In 1996 when he was dismissed from the lineup of the Top Touring Music Festival, Lolapluja. Ozafest has gone to host bands such as Slipkot, Tool, Megadeth, Rob Zombie, System of a Down, Limp Business and Linkin Park.
Osbourne’s look changed a bit on his life. He wearing his long hair flat, heavy black eye makeup and round glass, often wearing a cross around his neck. In 2013, he rejected the Black Sabbath for The Door, Raw “13”, reaching the UK album chart and reached the number 86 on US Billboard 200. In 2019, he got the top 10 hits on Post Malon’s “Tech What You Want,”, the first song of Osbourn since 1989.
In 2020, he released the album “Ordinary Man”, with Elton John’s title song A couple. “I have been a bad man, more than the blue sky/and the truth is that I don’t want to die an ordinary man,” he sang. In 2022, he launched his first career back-to-back number 1 rock radio singles from his album “Patient No. 9”, which shown collaboration with Jeff Bake, Eric Clapton, Mike McCredi, Chad Smith, Robert Truzilo and Duff McCagon. It earned four Grammy nominations.
At the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony in 2024, Jack Black called him the “biggest frontman in the history of Rock and Roll” and “The Jack Nicolson of Rock”. Osbourne thanked his fans, his guitarist Randy Rhodes and his long time wife Sharon.
