Ozzy Osbourne died of cardiac arrest, reports say
Ozzy Osbourne, heavy metal legend and former Black Sabbath frontman, died at 76 of a cardiac arrest. Known as 'The Prince of Darkness,' he sold over 100 million records and gained fame for his wild lifestyle, iconic music, and later as a reality TV star on The Osbournes. He is survived by his wife Sharon, five children, and several grandchildren. Ozzy Osbourne died of a cardiac arrest and had been suffering from Parkinson's and coronary artery disease, according to a death certificate filed in London. The death certificate was reportedly filed by his daughter, Aimee, The New York Times reports. According to the certificate published by The Sun he died of 'out of hospital cardiac arrest' and 'acute myocardial infarction.' Best known as the 1970s frontman of the legendary heavy metal band Black Sabbath, Osbourne made his mark on music history and popular culture. He famously earned notoriety for biting the head off a bat during a live performance and living a drug-fueled lifestyle before transforming into a beloved, albeit foul-mouthed, reality TV icon. Known to fans as The Prince of Darkness and the Godfather of Heavy Metal, Osbourne's musical legacy included Black Sabbath hits such as Paranoid, War Pigs, and 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath' alongside a successful solo career, together selling over 100 million records worldwide. Following his death Osbourne's family issued a heartfelt statement: 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has died this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family's privacy at this time.' Osbourne was no stranger to controversy. He became a frequent target of criticism from conservative and religious groups that viewed his persona and music as a negative influence on youth. While acknowledging his past excesses, he firmly dismissed exaggerated rumours about being a devil-worshipper. As he shared in his 2010 biography: 'I've done some bad things in my time. But I ain't the devil. I'm just John Osbourne: a working-class kid from Aston who quit his job in the factory and went looking for a good time.' His reinvention later in life began in 2002 when he became the star of the US reality show The Osbournes. The show captured his daily life, as fans watched the ageing rock legend wander around his lavish home, share his thoughts in his distinctive Birmingham accent, and react to his family's unpredictable antics. The show gained him a new wave of adoring fans. Osbourne is survived by his wife and manager, Sharon, their five children—Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and two others, and several grandchildren. Osbourne was honoured with a funeral cortege through his hometown of Birmingham last week before a private family service.
