Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne died of a heart attack on 22 July, according to his death certificate. The 76-year-old heavy metal icon had long battled coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease.
The document reportedly lists the causes of death as out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, and Parkinson’s disease with autonomic dysfunction.
Osbourne had been open about his declining health in recent years. In a 2023 interview with Rolling Stone, he reflected on living with Parkinson’s and the impact of past substance use.
“I do count my lucky stars... I do sometimes think I’m on borrowed time,” explained Ozzy.
Despite his health struggles, Osbourne made a final return to the stage on 6 July, just over two weeks before his death, reuniting with fellow Black Sabbath members Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward for a farewell performance in his hometown of Birmingham, England. The concert drew more than 45,000 fans in person and millions more online.
Osbourne, known as 'The Prince of Darkness,' was remembered not only as a musical trailblazer but also as a cultural icon, especially after introducing himself to a new generation through MTV’s reality programme The Osbournes in the early 2000s.
Tributes poured in from across the world, including from Elton John, Jack White, and California Governor Gavin Newsom. Osbourne was a five-time Grammy winner and a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee - once with Black Sabbath and again as a solo artist.
