Ozzy Osbourne car collection: From crashing a Ferrari after getting license at 60 to owning Volvo Wagons and an Audi R8
Ozzy Osbourne, the iconic star of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, tragically passed away on Tuesday at the age of 76, marking the end of an era in the heavy metal rock landscape. The heartbreaking news of the icon has been shared by his family, who asked for privacy during this difficult time. However, there is no confirmation on the cause of the death so far. The 76-year-old artist left behind a $220 million (Rs 1800 crore) fortune for his six children and ten grandchildren. If we look back into the early life of Osbourne, he grew up amidst the industrial operation of working-class Manchester; hence, it is no surprise that he was made the frontman for metal legends Black Sabbath. For car enthusiasts, jamming to Ozzy Osbourne's music while driving was a way to know him better. Whether it was No More Tears, Mr. Crowley, Crazy Train, or Children of the Grave, his powerful vocals always seemed to sync perfectly with the rhythm of the road and the soul of some of his famous music. Well, among many other things, Ozzy was a bit of a gearhead. Ozzy Osbourne behind the wheel: A heavy metal legend's unexpected gearhead journey For the unversed, Osbourne faced enormous difficulty in passing his driving test. The rock metal star earned his first driving license in his 60s, and this is when he proudly joined the gearhead community, according to Driving. As per the report, it reportedly took him about 19 tries to succeed in a driving test that was too long after he had moved to Los Angeles. Although he lacked a formal license in his younger years, that didn't stop the rock icon from indulging his passion for cars, which is something his long-standing reputation as a car enthusiast makes clear. To honour Ozzy's love for automotive, let's revisit some of his most fascinating rides that have found a home in the garages of his many estates over the years. From Ferrari 458 Italia to Audi R8: A look at Ozzy Osbourne's most iconic car collection Volvo 240 Wagon (First car): Ozzy rolled in the Volvo 240 Wagon back in his early days. Ozzy was first captured with a Volvo 240 wagon; it may not be the most powerful or as lavish as other cars, but it was the most reliable one. Ferrari 458 Italia: The Ferrari 458 Italia holds legendary status for many, but for Ozzy Osbourne, it's quite memorable, as it was the car that he famously crashed right after getting his driver's license. The price of a Ferrari 458 Italia in 2025 varies depending on factors like condition, mileage, and other options. Roughly, it may cost around $170,000 to $300,000+. Rolls-Royce Phantom: This is the vehicle that one most likely imagined Ozzy driving. The Rolls-Royce Phantom fits in perfectly with his "Prince of Darkness" character. Any undertaker would blush from its opulent, elegant appearance to its massive, imposing V12 engine. We're also rather excited about it. Aston Martin Vantage: Ozzy had a taste of the finer things, despite his reputation for being raw and gruff and his outrageous exploits on stage and in real life. Indeed, it is said that he was the owner of the same vehicle that Bond would have driven. Audi R8: The Audi R8 may not be the first car you would think Ozzy would be driving, but he did. In the last years of his life, he possessed one of them and a few other exotics. Without a doubt, Audi's exterior design is exceptional, regardless of your preferred car type. An even stronger case may be made for a mid-mount V10 option. Ozzy Osbourne's real estate properties, houses, and more Over the years, the rock icon and his second wife, Sharon Osbourne, purchased some notable real estate deals in California. In 2011, the couple listed their Hidden Hills property for close to $13 million and eventually sold it in 2013 for $11.5 million. Later, the couple sold their beachfront home in Malibu for less than $8 million at that time. Later, in 2014, they purchased a condo in the posh Sierra Towers in Los Angeles, and in 2021, they increased their space by acquiring their neighbouring unit, spending roughly $6.3 million in total.

Ozzy Osbourne passes away: 5 underrated songs every metal fan should revisit
By Aman Shukla Published on July 23, 2025, 00:38 IST The heavy metal world lost a legend on July 22, 2025, when Ozzy Osbourne, the iconic 'Prince of Darkness,' passed away at 76, just weeks after his final performance at Villa Park. Known for his groundbreaking work with Black Sabbath and a solo career that redefined the genre, Osbourne's legacy is monumental. While hits like Crazy Train and No More Tears dominate his discography, many of his lesser-known tracks deserve equal spotlight. Here, we dive into some of Ozzy Osbourne's most underrated songs that showcase his vocal prowess, lyrical depth, and the virtuosic talent of his collaborators—perfect for fans looking to rediscover his catalogue. 1. Waiting for Darkness ( The Ultimate Sin , 1986) This track from The Ultimate Sin is a sinister gem that captures Ozzy's knack for blending dark themes with catchy melodies. With Jake E. Lee's searing guitar work, Waiting for Darkness explores a yearning for escape from the light, delivering a heavier take on the hair metal era's sound. Fans on platforms like Reddit have praised its haunting vibe and Lee's standout performance, making it a must-listen for those diving into Ozzy's mid-80s work. 2. Secret Loser ( The Ultimate Sin , 1986) Another standout from The Ultimate Sin , Secret Loser is a high-energy track with an infectious riff and Ozzy's signature vocal quirks. Featured in the 1986 sci-fi film The Wraith , it's a song that showcases his ability to balance commercial appeal with raw metal energy. Guitarist Jake E. Lee has expressed pride in this track, noting its challenging execution, yet it remains underappreciated in his catalog. 3. Killer of Giants ( The Ultimate Sin , 1986) A poignant anti-war anthem, Killer of Giants pairs Jake E. Lee's intricate guitar work with Ozzy's emotive vocals to address the threat of nuclear annihilation. Its lyrical depth and melodic structure make it one of his most thought-provoking tracks, yet it's often overshadowed by flashier singles. Fans on Quora and Reddit call it a masterpiece that deserves more recognition for its emotional weight. 4. Bloodbath in Paradise ( No Rest for the Wicked , 1988) Introducing Zakk Wylde's blistering guitar style, Bloodbath in Paradise is a dark, aggressive track about the Manson murders. Its fast-paced energy and Wylde's pinch harmonics bring a fresh intensity to Ozzy's late-80s sound. Despite critical acclaim for its raw power, it's rarely mentioned among his top hits, making it a hidden gem for metalheads. 5. S.I.N. ( No More Tears , 1991) From the iconic No More Tears album, S.I.N. is a fan-favorite deep cut that showcases Zakk Wylde's shredding skills, especially in the outro solo. Its driving rhythm and Ozzy's commanding vocals make it a standout, yet it's often overlooked in favor of the album's title track or Mama, I'm Coming Home . Reddit users frequently cite it as a track that deserves more love. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

"Oh and this happened yesterday!" she captioned the clip. In the video, Wilson, 48, is seen telling her, "Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world..." "F- off! You're not marrying my daughter!" Ozzy said, as the couple's family and friends laughed heartily. Wilson was undeterred, though. "Nothing would make me happier than to spend the rest of my life with you," he said. "Kelly, will you marry me?" Kelly seemed speechless, nodded and hugged him, smiling, and accepted the ring. Kelly and Wilson have been a couple since 2022. They share a 2 1/2-year-old son.
