From the iconic “All Aboard!” opening of “Crazy Train” to his oft-meme’d “Sharon!” Ozzy Osbourne had one of the most recognizable screams in modern history.
The Grammy winning Prince of Darkness and legendary rocker has died just weeks after reuniting with Black Sabbath for a final show in England. He was 76.
A family statement shared with USA TODAY said Osbourne died in Birmingham, England “surrounded by love” Tuesday morning.
“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy has passed away this morning,” the statement read. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”
He leaves behind Sharon Osbourne, his wife of more than 40 years, as well as their daughters Aimee and Kelly and sons Louis and Jack.
