Prince of Darkness and forefather of heavy metal Ozzy Osbourne died this week aged 76 –just three weeks after his final performance with his band Black Sabbath

The rock singer, who died on Tuesday, has several singles and albums in the charts, both as a solo artist and with his band Black Sabbath.

The singer had just recorded his farewell concert with Black Sabbath a few weeks ago. Titled “Back to the Beginning: Ozzy’s Final Bow,” it’s set for a theatrical release in early 2026. Osbourne told The Guardian in May that he was looking forward to a different life after filming the concert ― one with fewer people and more animals.

Ozzy Osbourne's final memoir, 'Last Rites', will be published posthumously on October 7, offering an unfiltered look into his extraordinary life, personal battles and musical triumphs.
