Ozzy Osbourne BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Ozzy Osbourne, the iconic Prince of Darkness, died Tuesday, July 22, 2025, at age 76 in London, capping a career that not only defined but helped invent heavy metal. According to the Los Angeles Times and Sky News, Ozzy was surrounded by family, his passing closing a saga marked by decades of musical genius, outrageous onstage antics, and reality TV candidness. His death followed years of public health struggles, notably his 2020 revelation that he had Parkinson’s disease after a serious fall in 2019, health issues that ultimately kept him from the farewell tours he so often promised and postponed.
Just over two weeks before his death, Osbourne mounted a final, emotionally charged live performance at Back to the Beginning, the blockbuster July 5 concert in Birmingham. The show reunited the original Black Sabbath lineup for the first time in twenty years. Fans watched as he closed his onstage career with a set that included Paranoid, War Pigs, N.I.B., and Iron Man, with Paranoid being the last song he ever sang in public, as captured by outlets like Ultimate Classic Rock and social media footage widely shared on Instagram and YouTube. Metallica, Guns N' Roses, and Steven Tyler joined the bill, transforming the event into a historical milestone for rock, and the performance is already being edited into a feature film Back to the Beginning: Ozzy’s Final Bow, expected in theaters next year.
Ozzy’s final public appearance was on July 12, when he made a poignant showing at Comic Con Midlands in Birmingham, accompanied by wife Sharon and his children Jack and Kelly. The Daily Beast and BBC reported that fans described meeting him as surreal and magical, with people flying internationally and paying high sums for a moment with the legend—a testament to his stature and enduring appeal even in his last days.
Businesswise, the past year saw Ozzy lean into his brand one last time. Business Insider revealed that a final quirky venture involved selling cans of Liquid Death iced tea laced with his trace DNA, fetching thousands of dollars on resale. His partnership with Metal Casino as a brand ambassador and part owner remained a recent talking point, while The Express and Economic Times confirmed his wealth at an estimated two hundred twenty million dollars, reflecting music, reality TV, merchandise, and investments.
His farewell concert alone raised over $190 million for Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Acorn Children’s Hospice. Social media has been flooded with tributes, including from younger stars like Yungblud, acknowledging Ozzy’s colossal impact. No unconfirmed scandals or speculative drama surrounded his final days—just a global outpouring of appreciation for a performer who remained authentic to the end, with his final acts being charitable, theatrical, and unforgettable.
