Ozzy Osbourne, the iconic Black Sabbath frontman, passed away on July 22, 2025, surrounded by his family. Known for his openness about his health struggles, Ozzy had been battling Parkinson’s disease since 2003 and had suffered multiple injuries from past accidents, including a severe spinal injury. Despite his declining mobility, he performed at Black Sabbath’s final show earlier that month, which became the highest-grossing charity concert ever, raising around $190 million for various causes. His family requested privacy following his death, and no official cause of death has been disclosed.

Throughout his later years, Ozzy candidly discussed his health challenges and retirement plans, expressing a desire to live quietly with his family and focus on animal rescue efforts. His wife Sharon Osbourne revealed that they had made plans for assisted suicide in the event of debilitating brain illness, reflecting their pragmatic approach to end-of-life decisions. Ozzy’s daughter Kelly also addressed and debunked false rumors about his imminent death, emphasizing that while his condition affected his mobility, he was not dying at that time.
