What to know about Ozzy Osbourne’s rare form of Parkinson’s disease

British heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne died last week at 76 years old, more than 20 years since the “Prince of Darkness” was first diagnosed with a rare form of genetic Parkinson’s disease.

The cause of the Black Sabbath frontman’s recent death has not been made explicit. On Wednesday (30 July), Osbourne’s body will be brought back to his hometown of Birmingham for a funeral cortège, which will travel through the city ahead of a private funeral. The procession, which will be accompanied by a brass band, will make its way down Broad Street a 1 pm before stopping at the Black Sabbath bridge.
