The cause of Ozzy Osbourne’s passing has been officially announced. He died from cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, and complications from Parkinson’s disease, as reported recently.
His representatives have not yet commented on these details. Ozzy, the iconic frontman of Black Sabbath, passed away at the age of 76 on July 22nd.
The family shared their grief in a statement, expressing profound sadness at the loss of their beloved Ozzy. They mentioned he was surrounded by family and love at the time of his passing, and they requested privacy during this difficult period.
Osbourne performed what would be his final concert with Black Sabbath. This emotional 10-hour show in Birmingham, England, featuring stars like Metallica and Guns N’ Roses, took place on July 5th.
Throughout his life, Osbourne was married to Sharon, with whom he had children Kelly, Amy, and Jack. He also had children from a previous marriage—Jessica and sons Elliot and Louis.
Reports indicate that the Black Sabbath legend wished to be buried by a lake on his vast property. During his memorial, a grand floral display with the words “Ozzy F—Osbourne” was arranged on the mansion grounds, and Kelly shared an image of it on her social media.
Notable guests like Zakk Wylde, Rob Zombie, and Marilyn Manson attended the funeral, alongside Metallica’s James Hetfield and Elton John. A moving procession honoring the musical legend drew thousands of people through Birmingham, traveling towards the Black Sabbath Bridge.
Years ago, Osbourne humorously discussed his thoughts on planning his funeral. He preferred one that was more of a celebration rather than a sorrowful event, suggesting a mix of music and lightheartedness—mentioning that he didn’t care much about the specifics.
He reflected on the importance of considering the feelings of those left behind, emphasizing that a little foresight about such things, in a way, is a kind gift for grieving relatives. Ultimately, he expressed a desire for his send-off to be a time of gratitude and celebration.
