Just days after Ozzy Osbourne, the ‘Prince of Darkness’, delivered his final live performance in his hometown, Birmingham’s Villa Park soccer stadium, earlier this month, the heavy metal legend, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019, died at the age of 76, his family said in a statement on 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,” the Osbourne family said, asking for their privacy to be respected.
Soon after the announcement last night, his bandmates, guitarist Tony Iommi, drummer Bill Ward and bassist Geezer Butler, turned to their respective Instagram handles to pay their tributes to Black Sabbath’s lead vocalist.
“I just can’t believe it! My dear dear friend Ozzy has passed away only weeks after our show at Villa Park,” Iommi wrote on the social site. “It’s just such heartbreaking news that I can’t really find the words, there won’t ever be another like him. Geezer, Bill and myself have lost our brother.”
Butler shared photos from their final show and captioned, “Goodbye dear friend- thanks for all those years- we had some great fun.”
Meanwhile, Ward mourned the loss in a heartbreaking statement, with a throwback picture of the two.
“Where will I find you now? In the memories, our unspoken embraces, our missed phone calls, no, you’re forever in my heart,” the drummer wrote. “Never goodbye. Thank you forever.”
