Ozzy Osbourne

Ozzy Osbourne, the Black Sabbath frontman and reality star, died on July 22. He was 76. Just weeks before his death, Osbourne and his legendary rock band performed a farewell show to a hometown crowd of 40,000. In January 2020, Osbourne revealed that in 2003 he’d been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, saying at the time, "It's not a death sentence." Also known as the Prince of Darkness, Osbourne pioneered heavy metal with his screeching vocal performances and unpredictable on-stage antics as a member of Sabbath in the late 1960s and 1970s. He also launched a successful solo career after splitting from the band, and achieved further notoriety when he shared the spotlight with family on his 2000s MTV reality series The Osbournes. In addition to being a two-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Osbourne won three Grammys as a solo artist and two as a member of Black Sabbath. His first win came for Best Metal Performance With Vocal for "I Don't Want To Change The World" in 1994, followed by a win for Best Metal Performance for a live rendition of "Iron Man" in 2000.
