Ozzy Osbourne: The Prince of Darkness Rests at 77
The music world is in mourning today as we say goodbye to one of rock's most iconic figures. Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary frontman of Black Sabbath and a solo superstar, has passed away at the age of 77.
A Legacy of Heavy Metal
From the gritty streets of Birmingham to the biggest stages in the world, Ozzy's journey was nothing short of extraordinary. As the voice of Black Sabbath, he helped define the heavy metal genre with tracks like "Paranoid," "Iron Man," and "War Pigs." His unique vocal style and charismatic stage presence made him a god to millions of fans.
His solo career was equally successful, giving us anthems like "Crazy Train" and "Mama, I'm Coming Home." Even in his later years, facing health battles, Ozzy remained a defiant and humorous figure, loved not just for his music but for his reality TV stardom in The Osbournes.
