The “Prince of Darkness”, Ozzy Osbourne, who shocked and awed with his heavy metal band Black Sabbath, has died aged 76.
News of his death was announced by his family.
For many years, fans felt that Osbourne must be indestructible. The “Godfather of Metal” had survived decades of hard-living, including drug and alcohol abuse, along with controversies such as the notorious moment he bit the head off a bat during a live concert in Des Moines, IA.
In his later life, however, he was a reformed wildman who suffered a string of health issues, mostly related to neck injuries sustained in a 2003 quad-biking accident, which were later exacerbated by a fall in 2019. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease that same year, and also endured a bout of Covid.
