Ozzy Osbourne Passes Away After Emotional Farewell Concert

The music world mourns the loss of legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away on July 22, 2025, shortly after delivering a heartfelt farewell concert in his hometown of Birmingham, England. Osbourne had expressed his desire to perform one last show, stating he would “die a happy man” if he could celebrate his life with fans before his passing.

A Final Farewell

In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine in 2023, Osbourne articulated his wish to complete one final performance, saying, “I just want to be well enough to do one show where I can say: ‘Hi guys, thanks so much for my life.'” This wish became a reality when he reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates—Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward—for the “Back to the Beginning” concert, marking a significant moment in his storied career.

The concert took place just two weeks before his death, serving as a poignant tribute to both his legacy and the enduring bond he shared with his fans. Osbourne’s family confirmed the news of his passing in a statement, expressing their deep sorrow: “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. He was with his family and surrounded by love.”

Health Struggles and Resilience

Throughout his career, Osbourne faced numerous health challenges, including significant spinal issues stemming from a quad bike accident in 2003, alongside injuries from subsequent falls and a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. In a conversation with The Guardian, he elaborated on these struggles, describing how his health setbacks affected his outlook on life: “You wake up the next morning and find that something else has gone wrong. You begin to think this is never going to end.”

His wife, Sharon Osbourne, played a critical role in his return to the stage. Noticing his declining spirits, she proposed the idea of the reunion concert as a means to uplift him during a challenging period. Osbourne recalled, “Sharon could see that I was in Doom Town, and she says to me: ‘I’ve got an idea.’ It was something to give me a reason to get up in the morning.”

Osbourne’s farewell concert not only marked the end of an era but also served as a testament to his enduring spirit and connection with fans worldwide. He leaves behind a legacy that continues to inspire generations of musicians and fans alike.

Osbourne is survived by his family, including Sharon, and children Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and Louis. The family has requested privacy as they navigate this difficult time.
