Ozzy Osbourne Shared Heartbreaking Post One Day Before He Died
The music world mourns as Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary Black Sabbath frontman, has passed away at 76. His family confirmed his peaceful passing on July 22, surrounded by loved ones.
Just one day before his death, Osbourne shared his final social media post – a poster from his emotional last performance with Black Sabbath in Birmingham earlier this month. The historic show marked the band’s first reunion since 2005.
The “Back to the Beginning” concert, held at Villa Park where Black Sabbath first formed in 1968, became a star-studded farewell. Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, and Steven Tyler joined the lineup, helping raise $190 million for charity, including children’s hospitals.
Black Sabbath’s official tribute simply stated: “Ozzy forever,” while Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood recalled the Birmingham show as “a lovely goodbye concert.” Fans flooded social media with emotional messages honoring the Prince of Darkness.
One fan wrote, “Rest in peace – thank you for everything,” while another declared, “We will never forget you, legend!” The outpouring of love reflected Osbourne’s immense impact on rock music.
Osbourne’s family requested privacy in their statement, sharing their profound grief over losing the metal icon. His death comes after years of health struggles, though he continued performing until his final days.
From Birmingham pubs to global fame, Ozzy Osbourne’s voice defined heavy metal. While the Prince of Darkness has left us, his music and unforgettable persona will live on forever in rock history.
