It was the send off that Ozzy Osbourne had hoped for, if some time before he and his loved ones expected.
The Black Sabbath star died today aged 76, surrounded by his wife Sharon and their children after a battle with Parkinson's.
A heartbreaking statement released by the family said: '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. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.'
Sources close to the family say that his passing was 'unexpected to be this soon' but that his children were so grateful to have been around him in his last days after he performed his final gig just over two weeks ago.
Heavy metal hellraiser Ozzy, known to legions of fans as The Prince of Darkness, passed away at the Buckinghamshire mansion where his wife Sharon - a former X Factor judge - had spent at least two years preparing for his final moments.
The Mail can also reveal that daughters Aimee, 41, and Kelly, 40, were there to care for him as recently as last week after flying in from Los Angeles.
Son Jack, 39, also had flown from his home in Idaho to watch his beloved father at his last concert at Aston Villa's stadium Villa Park on July 5.

Late stage Parkinson’s, stopped taking pain killers to be lucid for his last gig. Not unexpected. Nothing left to do.

“Parkinson’s can be caused by drug abuse.”
Traumatic Brain injury can often look like Parkinson’s.
I deal with the shaking, stumbling, etc. Plus I have a hereditary Essential tremor. Thank you, Mama!
Lol.. it was worth having her for a mother.
he had found the Lord and repented.

Praise God !!!
Then he’s with Jesus, AND Randy Rhodes /-)

In 1975 or 76, he really did, during a black sabbath concert, call for us to come forward so we could worship satan.
I refused to go.
He said, if you want to sell your soul to satan, come forward!
He did the devil horns, shooting them out over his head a few times.
people flocked to the front of the stage.
I was scared to death.
Parkinson’s with Lewe bodies is a form of dementia.
“Hey Mick! I outlived another one!” Keef
I thought Robert Novak was the Prince of Darkness.
“Is this a joke? Decades ago, doctors were perplexed as to how his body could sustain his drug and alcohol abuse.”
Show some compassion.
Just another name on the Keith Richards “Look Who I Outlived Today!” list.
I do not quite understand the reference to Joseph Lucas. For a cursory examination of his available information, Joseph Lucas doesn’t seem to be the demon incarnate some think him to be here.
I’m glad you remembered that.
He had on a guest, a famous Republican economist, I think. His co-host said “Niwxwe have on two Princes of Darkness”. Was Arthur Laffer also known by that name?
Mama, mama he’s coming home
I dated a girl that was an Ozzy fan. I was too much of a Leon Russell fan to put up with her bad taste in music. We broke up.
Religious freaks out in force on another post and suicide conspiracy on this one.
Same here. Worst auto purchase I ever made.
