He died today. Only 76.
Thoughts for Sharon and his family.

Sorry to hear this. RIP

Another fellow Brummie.

RIP 💐

I was shocked to hear this, too, given his lively performance two weeks ago. I’m not into heavy metal music but he was a character and surely the mould has been broken with his passing. Sympathies to his wife and family. flowers

Apparently that last concert made £140 million for charity. What a lovely legacy

I've just seen this on my FB feed.

That was a shock, we knew he was ill with Parkinson's Disease but was performing not long ago. He really was unique!

RIP Ozzy, a Brummie lad.

RIP Ozzy. The DD’s in their 40’s are ‘gutted’.

He had his last gig. R.I.P.

The Prince of Darkness lived his life, his way, to the end. I think he did his farewell gig recently because he knew he didn’t have long.

R.I.P Ozzy

Even with all of his problems you felt he would go on forever...sad.

Sad for his family. He had Parkinson's disease. Glad that The Prince of Darkness had one last gig.

Sad news. I heard the proceeds of that final concert all went to charities.

Sharon did say there was no way he would tour again.

fancythat Tue 22-Jul-25 19:33:07

Sad news, but at least he got to enjoy his final fling at the Back to the Beginning gig. And what a way to go out in style it was...

nanaK54 Tue 22-Jul-25 19:27:35

RIP Ozzy, thoughts are with his loved ones, I didn’t expect this, some people you just expect to keep on going.
Black Sabbath were legendary.

Kate1949 Tue 22-Jul-25 19:21:58

A fellow Brummie. My sister went out with his brother once. RIP Ozzy.

He and Sharon had a long marriage … something you don’t see in Hollywood .
