Ozzy’s family keeps on… “He was surrounded by affection and with his family. At this time, we kindly ask that everyone respect the privacy of our family.
Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and Louis signed the statement.
Ozzy is most known for being the leader of Black Sabbath, which he founded in 1968 in Birmingham, England, with Bill Ward, Tony Iommi, and Geezer Butler. His passing follows the group’s last performance together.
Over the years, the band has won two Grammy Awards and been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. Their most well-known tracks are “War Pigs,” “Iron Man,” “Paranoid,” “Children of the Grave,” and “Sweet Leaf.”
Osbourne was expelled from the band in 1979 because to his alcohol and drug addiction, a problem he battled continuously for the following couple decades despite their quick ascent to stardom.
After that, he had a hugely successful solo career, putting out 13 studio albums, the first eight of which all achieved platinum status in the US. As a solo artist, he also won five Grammys for writing popular songs like “Crazy Train” and “No More Tears.” Sharon Osbourne became his manager around this period.

In 1970, Ozzy’s father, who was then a member of Black Sabbath, introduced her to Sharon. After being expelled from Black Sabbath, Sharon assisted Ozzy in overcoming his addictions in 1979, over ten years later.
The two got married in 1982 after she supported him in starting the previously described solo career.
Ozzy and his family starred in the reality show “The Osbournes” in the early 2000s, which helped him become well-known. From 2002 to 2005, the program lasted for four seasons and fifty-two episodes.
The couple’s kids, Kelly, Aimee, and Jack, have all gone on to become well-known on television and the internet and frequently show up on reality shows that include their parents.
Sharon, Ozzy’s children, and many grandkids survive him.
His age was 76.
