The working-class Birmingham boy who became an international superstar through his phenomenal music career with Black Sabbath and, later, as the star of reality TV had been living with Parkinson’s disease since his diagnosis in 2019.
He remained a rocker to the end, with a charity concert in Villa Park just over two weeks ago.
Ozzy has arrived on stage, seated on a throne on stage his voice sounds great and you can feel the love in the arena. Astonishing atmosphere. #blacksabbath pic.twitter.com/odTVlV9vH9

Tributes have been flooding all forms of media since his death was announced late on Tuesday, including from heartbroken bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward.
I just can’t believe it! My dear dear friend Ozzy has passed away only weeks after our show at Villa Park.
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.

Goodbye dear friend – thanks for all those years – we had some great fun. 4 kids from Aston- who’d have thought, eh?
So glad we got to do it one last time, back in Aston.

I have been a Black Sabbath fan almost my entire life. And when I say Black Sabbath I mean the band with Ozzy Osbourne in it.
Everything else was business.
They were just immense.

Remembering my brother in music, Ozzy Osbourne. I've always looked back at this commercial we shot in '03 so fondly. The last time we spoke was backstage of Dancing with The Stars season 9, when he told me how much he loved the Osmond song, "Crazy Horses"…talk about crazy!… pic.twitter.com/fUBHNxqZuK

To go out in huge style, performing to tens of thousands just before your death, raising millions for charity in the process, well, not many people can say that of their final curtain. What a classy farewell. #ozzy pic.twitter.com/NjWVoAJkI4

Ozzy's farewell gig at Villa Park raised over £140 million for children's charities in Birmingham.
Wheelchair-bound, body shaking from advanced Parkinson's, he battled through for one last gig so those children can dare to dream like he did.
Rest in peace. What a legend. pic.twitter.com/lTu0PlTttA— Jonathan Ridgway (@AVFCJono) July 22, 2025
