There must be a better news source reporting this than the fucking Sun.
Yeah Im pretty sure he was older than 76 weeks
I heard it first from a streamer on Kick about an hour ago. Go figure.
I was looking at his wiki page a few hours ago, and he was still alive, crazy timing
I managed to catch this after I heard the news but the update from is to was hadn't happened yet.

Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Bummer. I'll hop on a redeye Amtrak train tonight and bark at the moon in his honor. Silliness aside, he always seemed like a genuine good guy. Hope he's able to find peace and his family solace in the kind words that will be spoke of him in the coming days. If nothing else I'll always really enjoy his hits when they come up in my playlists.
Damn my dad will be gutted. He loved Ozzy and I was a fan through him as well.
All those harps and shit must be driving him nuts.
Farewell, sweet prince (of darkness).
I woke up with a bad feeling. I knew exactly one thing. And it reminded me of December 26th 2015. Remember the year of death that was 2016? Celebrities were dropping like flies and our entire childhoods' were going into graveyards?
That started December 2015, the day after Christmas. That was the day that Lemmy of Motorhead died. His death ripped a hole in the universe. Two weeks later David Bowie died. And after that famous people kept dying for a year. Reality TV star Donald Trump would be elected into office by people that kept saying celebrities had no role in politics. 2016 was the first year of the world we know today. And trying to describe the world before 2015 to someone who never witnessed life before that would become difficult.
I loved Black Sabbath. I didn't care for Ozzy Osbourne. I didn't care for a Black Sabbath without Ozzy. It was that combination of the two that I liked. I used to tell people this and they would shrug and then I would tell people this after the Osbornes show came out and people would react the same way as when I told them I didn't like cake. It meant I wasn't human. Who can trust somebody who doesn't like cake or like Ozzy Osbourne?
But I had to be honest with myself and them. I didn't like Ozzy Osbourne and no amount of crazy antics was going to solve that.
But this morning I woke up knowing exactly one thing. Ozzy Osbourne was dead. He can't create chaos with his death like Lemmy did because the chaos is already here. But maybe he can fix it. Maybe Ozzy's death well mend the hole in reality. This agent of chaos, with his passing, might be able to restore sanity. A sacrifice. For Satan. Who so loved the world he gave his only avatar so that everyone, believer or not, could have peace everlasting. We should know in two weeks if he is the herald of a brighter new future.
lol a 76 year old died, that's all that happened.
I find your lack of faith disturbing.
One who looked a lot older than 76 at that.
I feel unhappy
I feel so sad.
Honestly, that he lived this long, given his drugs and party lifestyle for many years, is pretty impressive. Now Keith Richards, on the other hand, will likely live to be 200 years old just because he's indestructible.
I got to see Ozzy once at Ozzfest. I'm glad for that.
This comment is batshit insane and I love it.
Honestly thought he was already dead.
Wow.
He was the guest and performer at a final concert just weeks ago. Anyone connected to the metal scene in any way knew about it. They raised almost 200 million for charities.
Rip
I didn't even know he was sick!
WOW. Ozzy is a Rock legend. The world will not be the same without him. People can say what they want about him, but he was an artist. He and Black Sabbath were the epitome of Rock & Roll.
Lost any ounce of respect I might have had left for him (which really wasn't much) and his wife when they started pushing Genocide propaganda for Israel.
Nothing says "rock and roll" like supporting Israels right to genocide I guess.
True rock and roll would be pissing on his grave. Maybe Kneecap can do the honors.
It was killing his 17 pet cats in a bloodthirsty drug-fuelled rampage for me.
I like the music, but we can have better heroes than this.
