In recent years, he faced several health challenges, including Parkinson’s disease and complications from a fall in 2019 that led to canceled tours. Despite these difficulties, he made a surprise appearance at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, showing his enduring passion and resilience.
Throughout his storied career, Ozzy earned numerous honors: induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (with Black Sabbath and as a solo artist), a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and multiple Grammy Awards. He also received the Ivor Novello Award, Classic Rock’s Living Legend prize, and NME’s Godlike Genius Award.
Ozzy is survived by his wife Sharon; children Aimee, Kelly, and Jack; and his older children Jessica and Louis from a previous marriage. He also leaves behind many grandchildren who will carry on his legacy.
Though the world has said goodbye to one of rock’s most unforgettable voices, Ozzy Osbourne’s music, energy, and influence will continue to inspire fans for generations to come.
