Ozzy Osbourne, former lead singer of Black Sabbath and "grandfather of heavy metal" has died at 76 according to the Associated Press, just weeks after his farewell show.

“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. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time,” a family statement said. In 2020, he revealed he had Parkinson’s disease after suffering a fall.

Osbourne won five grammys and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, for his role with Black Sabbath and as a solo artist.
