Ozzy Osbourne has sadly died at the age of 76 after a weird and wonderful life. Wife Sharon Osbourne shared the sad news in a family statement, which was also signed off by four of Ozzy’s six children.
Since then, music fans have been in mourning, remembering some of Ozzy’s most iconic moments. Of course, one moment he is best known for is biting the head off of a bat during a gig. He would later admit he thought it was fake before he felt his mouth fill with blood.
It wasn’t the only animal-biting incident, though, as Ozzy bit the heads off two dead doves during a meeting he was getting bored of.
Known as the Prince of Darkness, his on-stage persona soon evolved from a fresh-faced 20-something to the gothic look he was known for at the height of his fame.
The Black Sabbath icon had six children – Jessica and Louis from his first marriage to to Thelma Riley. He also adopted her son Elliot.
Ozzy then went on to have three children with his second wife Sharon – Aimee, Kelly and Jack.
Louis would say in 2011 that Ozzy’s was “not good for family life” due to him being drunk. Though it appears in his later life he calmed down, with Louis saying he was a “doting grandad”.
Louis was included on the family statement about Ozzy’s death, as well as Sharon, Kelly and Jack. Aimee, who like Louis lives a life away from the spotlight, was also included.
Kelly recently spoke out to slam claims that her parents had a so-called “death pact”. She also told followers Ozzy was “not dying”, which unfortunately did not age well.
Luckily for Ozzy, his final few weeks were full of what he liked best – his music and his family. He was also there when Kelly got engaged to her Slipknot star partner Sid Wilson.
So as fans remember Ozzy, take a flick through these incredible photos that span his career.
