Rest in Peace Prince of Darkness!!

R.I.P. So soon after last gig.

Wow, I thought it was a hoax, but it's being widely reported now.

TMZ https://www.tmz.com

Whoa. Seeing reports, waiting for confirmation.

SAD< SAD NEWS!

Yep, its true:

Now breaking news on CNN....

Fuck . . . apparently it's true!!!

I have no words except thank you so much for the good times and good music.

Glad he got that final show that he always wanted. I can’t think of another rock musician who brought me more joy, from my first Ozzfest (1997) at 13 to the show earlier this month to all the bands Ozzfest introduced me to.

Assisted suicide, maybe? Surrounded by loved ones, he did not look like he was three weeks from death. Plenty of footage of him talking with the performers, etc.

RIP

Although expected, still sad. What a legend.

Not a lot of guys actually reach legend status, but in our world, Ozzy Osbourne is definitely a legend. This sucks.

The fact that he was able to do that final show while being that close to the end, is just the most fitting ending for metal's biggest legend.

Crazy, right? Almost as if he was waiting for that last gig before he went out!!

R.I.P.

Exactly what he did, held on for his last show and gave everything he had left.

Wow... this is a big one for sure... so sad... this guy alone is pretty much the reason 98% of us are here! RIP Ozzy!

RIP … Ozzy Osbourne Dead at 76

RIP Ozzy

Wow can’t get onto Blabbermouth . Their server must be flooded.

Wow so sad , but is nice that he was able to perform for his last time this month and say goodbye on his terms. Was a fantastic day and so glad to be part of it is a small way .

RIP the one of the greatest metal voices and he provided us with amazing timeless music.

R.I.P.

Thank you Ozzy.

That massive sendoff he had a couple of weeks ago is definitely a silver lining.

What a career, what a massive list of accomplishments.

Andrew Watt (his producer) may be working on a posthumous Ozzy album. He recorded a few demos during 2024-25.

What a bummer. RIP big Oz.

Good thing he didn’t do his last show August 5

Always kind of bummed Ozzy-Tyoe O Negative - Sepultura show got cancelled

Got give Ozzy credit he always had awesome bands opening No More Tears era- only real reason I wanted to go

His MTV show was awesome- especially when the family wasn’t stars until 2nd season

I loved hearing and reading people bitching about leaving Ozzfest from Devore! Legendary

My first real introduction to Ozzy my was because of WWF

There will never be another Ozzy, that is a fact

FUCK!! And totally agree that his final show being just days ago will absolutely add to the legend. Never be another!!

This is from 2008 at the Roxy on Sunset. I was shooting Camp Freddie with Dave Navarro and the man showed up and KILLED with Crazy Train and Paranoid.

RIP to a legend. His voice on those early Sabbath records has a timeless quality.

The first album I ever bought was Bark at the Moon. RIP Ozzy.
