The cause of Ozzy Osbourne’s death has officially been revealed. The legendary Black Sabbath frontman passed away at 76 on July 22, 2025, from an acute myocardial infarction and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, with coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease listed as contributing factors. His family — wife Sharon and children Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and Louis — announced the heartbreaking news on Instagram.
Just weeks before his passing, Ozzy had performed a farewell show titled Back to the Beginning with the original Black Sabbath members in Birmingham — their first time on stage together in two decades. The concert, meant to be a triumphant goodbye, unexpectedly became his final performance.
On July 30, family and fans gathered in Birmingham for a massive memorial before he was laid to rest the next day near his home in Buckinghamshire. Photos captured Sharon Osbourne leaning on Jack and Kelly for support, her grief etched across her face. At one point, she raised her hand in Ozzy’s iconic rock-and-roll salute — a quiet but powerful tribute to her husband of many years.
Fans across social media shared messages of sorrow, noting Sharon’s fragile state and the touching detail of her wearing Ozzy’s wedding band on a necklace. “She looks absolutely broken,” one wrote, while another added, “His ring around her neck says everything.” For many, the moment symbolized a love story that endured through every high and low — until the very end.
