Ozzy Osbourne BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
In one of the most momentous stories in music this summer, the world mourns the passing of Ozzy Osbourne, the iconic Prince of Darkness who died at age 76 on July 22, 2025. The news was confirmed by his family, who said he died surrounded by love, only weeks after taking his final bow in front of tens of thousands at Villa Park in Birmingham alongside fellow Black Sabbath legends. That July 5th show, billed as Back to the Beginning, was both a triumphant reunion and a poignant farewell, featuring sets from Metallica and Guns N Roses and drawing global headlines as Osbourne thanked fans with an emotional, heartfelt message. Footage of him bravely performing from a throne circulated widely on YouTube and social media, with Instagram fans posting the performance as his last electrifying public appearance.
According to Business Insider, just weeks before his death Ozzy was busy with unique business ventures, including a headline-grabbing collaboration with Liquid Death to sell cans of iced tea allegedly carrying his trace DNA. One of those cans fetched over $4,600 on eBay after his death, fueling fan excitement and speculation about "recycling" the legend. He had also partnered with UK-based Jolie Beauty to launch a limited edition makeup collection, and that endeavor sold out immediately. The Economic Times reported that Ozzy left behind a fortune estimated at $220 million, amassed thanks to a fifty-year career that helped pioneer heavy metal, stints on reality TV with The Osbournes, and his long-running Ozzfest festival.
Arizona made waves on July 24 by officially declaring July 22nd "Ozzy Osbourne Day" in his honor, a testament to his influence and beloved status even beyond music. Tributes have poured in from around the industry; on July 24, Lamb of God dedicated their performance of the Sabbath classic "Children of the Grave" in Richmond to Ozzy, and bandleader Randy Blythe described the Birmingham farewell concert as a truly magical day filled with love and significance.
RadarOnline revealed details from Ozzy’s will, emphasizing his devotion to family. His estate will largely benefit wife Sharon and their children, including eldest daughter Aimee, who plans to use her share to further her music and acting. The will also contained charitable provisions, as proceeds from his final Sabbath show—reportedly nearly $190 million—were donated to Parkinson’s research and children’s health causes.
The headlines this week consistently focus on the end of a larger-than-life era, with Sky News, The Nation, and ITV News all underscoring the cultural void left by Osbourne’s passing. There is speculation among fans and some commentators that, had his health allowed, Ozzy would have continued performing, but all sources agree he went out on a high note, loved and celebrated, after a historic farewell fitting for one of rock’s most enduring mavericks.
