RIP Ozzy Osbourne: Thousands Honor the Late Legend in His Hometown of Birmingham
Ozzy Osbourne passed away at the age of 76 on July 22, 2025. His undeniable mark on pop culture has many edges to it: a heavy metal pioneer that changed the landscape of music; an erratic, hedonistic “prince of darkness” known for his stage antics; and an early, wackily endearing icon of reality TV when the genre was only coming into existence. With his passing, the story of an all-encompassing star came to an end.
