Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary Prince of Darkness and one of heavy metal’s most iconic stars, has died. He was 76.
He died “surrounded by love,” his family said in a statement to The Post Tuesday. “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.”
News of Osbourne’s death comes more than five years after he announced his Parkinson’s disease diagnosis in January 2020.

“””Longevity depends a lot on a person’s genes.”””
Yup. My in laws were the cleanest living people you could ever find. Both dead of cancer by the age of 50.
My ex wife’s aunt started smoking at 9. She smoked one after another till she died at 85. She was on oxygen the last 3 years of her life and was still smoking.
I wanted an Osbourne computer so bad back in the 80s.
Now that’s obscure.
Ozzy and Zach Wylde, his guitarist, visited his hospital room for hours and played an impromtu acoustic version of the whole show for him.
My little old mormon grandmother said she had never seen such love from such scary-looking people.
He died a few weeks later and was buried in his Ozzy shirt.
Richard was also played catcher — which is NOT healthy.
My brother informed me that when Ozzy’s wife got cancer, he said about it, “I pray for my wife every day. And NOT to Satan!”.
Just days after the Birmingham concert…
I would very much dislike being known as the prince of darkness whom Ozzy probably knew very well.
I’ve seen more serious interviews with Ozzy.
His real self was not all like he played on stage or even on the silly TV show.
“ I thought the “Prince of Darkness” was Lucas Electronics.”
LOL! I see you have had a lot of experience with British cars too.
Why do the British drink their beer warm? Lucas refrigeration.
Me too. Later on I coveted a Lisa.
One of the nicest stories I have ever read, thank you.
Was your cousin being treated at The Huntsman?
Zing!
I’ve seen memes before that all those rappers are just doing the wrong drugs...
