Black Sabbath posts Ozzy Osbourne tribute after rocker’s death at 76
Legendary rockers Black Sabbath posted their first comments on the death of former frontman and metal icon Ozzy Osborne.
“Ozzy Forever,” the British band wrote on Instagram, along with a photo of Osborne at its farewell final concert on July 5 in the singer’s hometown of Birmingham.
Osborne’s family announced Tuesday that the 76-year-old “Prince of Darkness” had died following a long battle with Parkinson’s disease and other health issues.
Black Sabbath burst onto the music scene in 1967 with Osborne on vocals, Tony Iommi on guitar, John “Geezer” Butler on bass and Bill Ward on drums.
Osborne was fired by the band in 1979, but periodically reunited with his mates, most recently for the July 5 concert, during which he performed seated in a special throne due to his health.
