Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary Black Sabbath singer, died on Tuesday, July 22. He was 76.

Ozzy is survived by his wife Sharon Osbourne and his five kids, including Kelly Osbourne and Jack Osbourne.

“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,” his family said in a statement. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”

The news of his death comes just days after Ozzy, along with his band, performed his final concert at Villa Park in Birmingham, England.

Ozzy had experienced a series of health issues over the years. In January 2020, following two years of escalating health problems, Osbourne announced that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. In February 2023, he issued a statement saying that he was retiring from touring, citing spinal injuries he had sustained in a 2018 accident.

Ozzy rose to prominence during the 1970s as the lead vocalist of Black Sabbath, during which period he adopted the nickname “Prince of Darkness.”

He was fired from Black Sabbath in 1979 due to his problems with alcohol and other drugs. He then began a successful solo career with Blizzard of Ozz in 1980 and released 13 studio albums. He reunited with Black Sabbath on several occasions. He rejoined in 1997 and helped record the band’s final studio album, 13 (2013).

He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Black Sabbath in 2006 and as a solo artist in 2024.

Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant has announced a new album and a 2025 North American Tour.

Saving Grace, the first album featuring his low-key acoustic band bearing the same name, is set for release on September 26 via Nonesuch Records.

Plant also shared the album’s lead single, a cover of Low’s “Everybody’s Song.”

Plant has been working on the album with his bandmates – singer Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown – since the formation of Saving Grace in 2019.

“We laugh a lot, really. I think that suits me. I like laughing,” Plant said in a statement. “You know, I can’t find any reason to be too serious about anything. I’m not jaded. The sweetness of the whole thing … These are sweet people and they are playing out all the stuff that they could never get out before. They have become unique stylists and together they seem to have landed in a most interesting place.”

Following their summer European tour, Plant and Saving Grace will embark on their debut North American tour in support of the upcoming album in Wheeling, West Virginia, on October 30. Tickets are on sale now at robertplant.com/#tour.

A concert film based on Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath’s final concert in Birmingham, England, earlier this month, will be released in theaters next year.

Mercury Studios is producing the 100-minute concert film, Back to the Beginning: Ozzy’s Final Bow, featuring the sold-out stadium show held in Black Sabbath’s hometown on July 5.

“Presented as a love letter to Ozzy and the pioneering sound of Black Sabbath, the theatrical release will be a distilled version of the epic all-day event held at Villa Park,” says a press release. “Featuring thunderous performances of ‘War Pigs,’ ‘Iron Man,’ ‘Children of the Grave’ and a show-stopping ‘Paranoid,’ the film promises a deeply personal and electrifying farewell from the godfather of heavy metal with exclusive behind-the-scenes access and interviews from this iconic live performance.”

The theatrical release of Back to the Beginning will be followed by a physical version. More details on the rollout of the film and release dates will be announced later.
