Rock music lovers and more were saddened to hear Tuesday about the death of Ozzy Osbourne at age 76.
Ozzy’s death comes just weeks after his final show, reunited with his original Black Sabbath bandmates in their hometown of Birmingham, England. Along with them, he helped to create the genre that would become heavy metal, showcasing a harder edge to rock than the predominant sound of the era.
But he went on to have greater cultural influence with a popular reality show focused on the Osbourne family that cemented him as a household name.
Ozzy revealed his Parkinson’s diagnosis in 2020 but has remained in the public eye.
