The music world is in mourning following the death of Ozzy Osbourne, the gloomy, demon-invoking, lead singer of Black Sabbath and legendary godfather of heavy metal, who passed away at 76.
Tributes poured in from icons across generations, each painting a portrait of a man who was as groundbreaking as he was beloved.
Elton John remembered him as “a dear friend and a huge trailblazer,” adding, “he was also one of the funniest people I’ve ever met.” Nirvana called Black Sabbath “the template for heavy rock." Rod Stewart, in a bittersweet farewell, quipped, “see you up there - later rather than sooner.”
Osbourne died Tuesday, just weeks after his farewell show. In 2020, he revealed he had Parkinson’s disease after suffering a fall.
