He was 76.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; the family said in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/live\/cn0qq5nyxn0t\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">statement to the BBC<\/a>. &#8220;He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Either clad in black or bare-chested, the singer was often the target of parents&#8217; groups for his imagery and once caused an uproar for biting the head off a bat. Later, he would reveal himself to be a doddering and sweet father on the reality TV show &#8220;The Osbournes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/07\/22\/5b11e99b-d126-4a55-a692-4b355d2fbf79\/thumbnail\/620x415g2\/bf9aae3f321d223716284d117155007c\/gettyimages-455637011.jpg#\" alt=\"Ozzy Osbourne poses for a portrait in London in 1991. \" height=\"415\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/07\/22\/5b11e99b-d126-4a55-a692-4b355d2fbf79\/thumbnail\/620x415g2\/bf9aae3f321d223716284d117155007c\/gettyimages-455637011.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/07\/22\/5b11e99b-d126-4a55-a692-4b355d2fbf79\/thumbnail\/1240x830g2\/7683c663007a6dab009a247337997c70\/gettyimages-455637011.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Ozzy Osbourne poses for a portrait in London in 1991.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Martyn Goodacre\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Black Sabbath&#8217;s 1969 self-titled debut LP has been likened to the Big Bang of heavy metal. It came during the height of the Vietnam War and crashed the hippie party, dripping menace and foreboding. The cover of the record was of a spooky figure against a stark landscape. The music was loud, dense and angry, and marked a shift in rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll.<\/p>\n<p>The band&#8217;s second album, &#8220;Paranoid,&#8221; included such classic metal tunes as &#8220;War Pigs,&#8221; &#8220;Iron Man&#8221; and &#8220;Fairies Wear Boots.&#8221; The song &#8220;Paranoid&#8221; only reached No. 61 on the Billboard Hot 100 but became in many ways the band&#8217;s signature song. Both albums were voted among the top 10 greatest heavy metal albums of all time by readers of Rolling Stone magazine.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Black Sabbath are the Beatles of heavy metal. Anybody who&#8217;s serious about metal will tell you it all comes down to Sabbath,&#8221; Dave Navarro of the band Jane&#8217;s Addiction wrote in a 2010 tribute in Rolling Stone. &#8220;There&#8217;s a direct line you can draw back from today&#8217;s metal, through Eighties bands like Iron Maiden, back to Sabbath.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sabbath fired Osbourne in 1979 for his legendary excesses, like showing up late for rehearsals and missing gigs. &#8220;We knew we didn&#8217;t really have a choice but to sack him because he was just so out of control. But we were all very down about the situation,&#8221; wrote bassist Terry &#8220;Geezer&#8221; Butler in his memoir, &#8220;Into the Void.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Osbourne reemerged the next year as a solo artist with &#8220;Blizzard of Ozz&#8221; and the following year&#8217;s &#8220;Diary of a Madman,&#8221; both hard rock classics that went multi-platinum and spawned enduring favorites such as &#8220;Crazy Train,&#8221; &#8220;Goodbye to Romance,&#8221; &#8220;Flying High Again&#8221; and &#8220;You Can&#8217;t Kill Rock and Roll.&#8221; Osbourne was twice inducted to the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame \u2014 once with Sabbath in 2006 and <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/rock-roll-hall-of-fame-induction-ceremony-cher-dionne-warwick-mary-j-blige-jimmy-buffett\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">again in 2024<\/a><\/span> as a solo artist.<\/p>\n<p>The original Sabbath lineup reunited for the first time in 20 years in July 2025 in the U.K. for what Osborne said would be his final concert. &#8220;Let the madness begin!&#8221; he told 42,000 fans.<\/p>\n<p>Metallica, Guns N Roses, Slayer, Tool, Pantera, Gojira, Alice in Chains, Lamb of God, Halestorm, Anthrax, Rival Sons and Mastodon did sets. Tom Morello, Aerosmith&#8217;s Steven Tyler, Billy Corgan, Ronnie Wood, Travis Barker, Sammy Hagar, Andrew Watt, Yungblud, Korn&#8217;s Jonathan Davis, Nuno Bettencourt, Chad Smith and Vernon Reid made appearances. Actor Jason Momoa was the host for the festivities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Black Sabbath: we&#8217;d all be different people without them, that&#8217;s the truth,&#8221; said Pantera singer Phil Anselmo. &#8220;I know I wouldn&#8217;t be up here with a microphone in my hand without Black Sabbath.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>This is a breaking news story.
