The “Prince of Darkness,” Ozzy Osbourne, has passed away at the age of 76.

The legendary heavy metal rock star and lead singer of Black Sabbath passed away “surrounded by love,” the family told TMZ.

Regarded as “The Godfather of Metal,” his accolades include multiple Grammy wins and over 120 million records sold.

His fame would later skyrocket even further with the success of his reality TV show “The Osbournes,” which featured his wife Sharon and their children Jack and Kelly Osborne.

Osbourne joined Black Sabbath just weeks ago for a final show in England, and it was just announced a few days ago that that performance would be featured in a 100 minute film hitting theaters in 2026.
