Black Sabbath's surviving members Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward have shared their reflections on the loss of their friend and bandmate Ozzy Osbourne on the first anniversary of the singer's death.
Osbourne passed away at his family home near Chalfont St. Giles in Buckinghamshire, England, on July 22, 2025, aged 76. His death came just weeks after he and Black Sabbath played their final shows, on July 5, 2025, at Villa Park in Birmingham, supported by Metallica, Slayer, Guns N' Roses, Tool, Mastodon, Anthrax and more, under the banner Back To The Beginning.
In a post on his social media channels, Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi referenced the quartet's final musical bow, and admitted he's still processing his loss.
