Ozzy Osbourne BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Ozzy Osbourne’s legacy entered a new chapter over the past week as the world reeled from the news of his passing at age 76 on July 22. According to the Guardian and Ultimate Classic Rock, his funeral procession will take place today, July 30, in his childhood home of Birmingham, England, traveling past tributes like the famed Black Sabbath Bench where fans have already created an outpouring of messages and flowers. City officials described the procession as a “fitting, dignified tribute” and made special arrangements for public participation, with a local brass band, Bostin Brass, and expected appearances from surviving Black Sabbath members and other rock luminaries. Fans worldwide have been invited to watch via a continuous livestream, marking a rare and communal farewell for an icon whose influence defined heavy metal. The headline seen everywhere, from Rolling Stone to local outlets, reads: “Ozzy Osbourne Funeral Procession Plans Revealed,” underscoring a moment almost mythic in scale.

Osbourne’s last public appearance took place less than three weeks ago at the Back to the Beginning concert, heralded as his farewell. The event featured a five-song solo set and a poignant reunion performance with the original Black Sabbath lineup—Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward—for the first time in two decades. The emotional impact of this gathering is still reverberating throughout the music world, with friends like Elton John and waves of artists offering tributes. Elton called him “a true legend” and shared personal condolences to Sharon and the Osbourne family, echoed by heartfelt notes from Osbourne’s Black Sabbath bandmates.

Recent days have seen the rock and metal community come alive with homages: Lamb of God dedicated a roaring cover of “Children of the Grave” at their Richmond show, with frontman Randy Blythe reflecting on the privilege of witnessing Ozzy’s joy at his final show and the more than $190 million the event raised for charity. Volbeat paid musical tribute at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, and Ozzy’s influence has been a trending topic across platforms like Instagram, where users and fellow musicians have been sharing stories on how he helped “define heavy metal and global branding”—a nod noted by the post from the account Not Just a Rock Star.

The business world is abuzz too, with the Economic Times spotlighting his $220 million estate and the significant moves outlined in his final will, as reported by Enstarz. The estate ensures that all of his children, including the private Aimee Osbourne, are provided for—Aimee will receive a third of the residual estate, reflecting Ozzy’s determination not to leave anyone behind no matter their public profile.

The week has been one unbroken chorus of remembrance, with fans, peers, and city officials turning out in force not just to mourn, but to celebrate Ozzy—the man who transformed the sound and style of global rock culture. There are no murmurings of scandal or speculation overshadowing the tributes: the story right now is one of public mourning, prodigious legacy, and a legend receiving the grand farewell his life of excess and genius demanded.
