76 years old.
As we were discussing on the What Are You Spinning thread, its the end of an era
Good he made it through the show in Birmingham.
Ozzy was a personality bigger than virtually anybody. I will miss him mucho.
Almost seemed like he embraced his situation better than many people do.
We knew it was past due, and still it feels too soon. āI donāt want to live forever, but I donāt wanna die.ā
RIP Ozzy - and keep barking at the moon!

Oh man - thats brilliant
My very first album purchase was Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. My parents hated it!
thatās what itās all about!
I have long enjoyed the irony that he thought the bat was a rubber prop.
Hard to believe heās really goneā¦ Iāve loved his music since the early eighties. When I read about his passing my first thoughts were of his song āSee you on the other sideā.
He had so many songs talking about death - they have a different impact now that he is gone.
RIP, what a life
War Pigs was a brilliant song. How fitting for events happening now.
War Pigs is a brillant masterpiece that captures the on going state of the military industrial complex.
I thought the use of War Pigs (even heavily edited) in the closing credits of 300: Rise of an Empire was a very nice touch. Proves your point, I think, of how apropos the songās intent is even today.
Lost a lot of my hearing to his music!
Mama he is coming homeā¦
What?!?!? Can you type that louder?
RIP Ozzy. Iāve never been a fan but itās great that he had the success he didāI admire anyone who can make a living playing music. I feel for his family that had to endure the hardship of six or seven years of progressing Parkinsonās disease. My condolences to them.
