This is one that gets me right in the feels
(Pitchfork) Ozzy Osbourne has died. “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,” the Osbourne family shared in a statement. “He was with his family and surrounded by love.” The heavy metal icon and founding member of Black Sabbath was 76 years old.
While a formal cause of death has not been announced, Osbourne dealt with numerous health issues in the final years of his life. The musician played his final concert earlier this month, a star-studded event in Birmingham, England, that featured the original Black Sabbath lineup, Metallica, Slayer, and others. The concert will be adapted into a film called Back to the Beginning: Ozzy’s Final Bow. It is due out next year.
While I had listened to some hard rock, like Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, and AC/DC, buying Black Sabbath’s 1st album in 1979 was eye opening, and started my utter love of all things metal. Then Ozzy solo, with the incomparable Randy Rhoades. The Iron Maiden, Saxon, Judas Priest, and so on and so forth. This is what began it all for me
