⚡️ "Ozzy Forever."

 

A Tribute to the Prince of Darkness

Today, we say goodbye to a man who never truly fit the mold — because Ozzy Osbourne was too busy melting it down, screaming over it, and walking straight through it in leather and eyeliner.

Born in Birmingham in 1948, John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne became the voice — and later the face — of heavy metal. As frontman of Black Sabbath, he helped birth a sound that would reverberate for generations: raw, doom-laden, untamed. Later, as a solo artist, he proved he wasn't just a band member — he was a force of nature.

But Ozzy wasn't only myth and mayhem. Beneath the bat-biting headlines and the reality-show chaos was a man who loved deeply — his wife Sharon, his children, his fans — and who, despite battling addiction, Parkinson’s disease, and grueling surgeries, never stopped showing up.

His final public act — a farewell concert in Birmingham just weeks ago — now feels like prophecy. He gave us that last howl, that final bow, before the curtain fell. He didn’t fade. He finished.

"The road to nowhere leads me back to you."
– Ozzy Osbourne, "Road to Nowhere"

Ozzy’s story wasn’t polished — it was lived in blood, sweat, and distortion. And that’s why it mattered. He showed generations of fans what it meant to be defiant, unapologetic, vulnerable, and alive.

Rest well, Ozzy.

The stage is empty now. But the echo remains.

Ozzy forever. 🖤
