Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary frontman of Black Sabbath and one of heavy metal's most influential figures, has died aged 76. His passing comes less than three weeks after what would become his final performance, a farewell show with his original bandmates at Villa Park in Birmingham.
A statement released by his family on Tuesday read: '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. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.'
