Ozzy Osbourne’s tragic cause of death has been confirmed.
Sharon Osbourne has officially carried out Ozzy’s last—and very specific—funeral wish after a ceremony that brought thousands of fans to tears in his hometown.
Ozzy’s Birmingham roots highlighted.
From working in a slaughterhouse to forming Black Sabbath in a factory town, the city shaped both his music and misfit identity.
His childhood home had no indoor plumbing. Crime and poverty defined his early life, yet he always spoke of Birmingham with pride.
With Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward, Ozzy helped create heavy metal—without ever really meaning to.
In an era of political unrest and economic despair, their thundering riffs gave voice to a generation that felt abandoned.
Ozzy’s controversies unraveled.
During a 1982 concert, he bit the head off a bat, thinking it was fake. It wasn’t. He got rabies shots. It made him a legend.
Ozzy battled alcoholism and drug addiction for decades, entering rehab multiple times and being briefly fired from Black Sabbath.
She turned his solo career into a monster success, launching The Osbournes reality show and rebranding him for a new generation.
Even in his 70s, Ozzy was still releasing albums, collaborating with the likes of Post Malone and Travis Scott.
And fans believed it. His voice was unique, haunting, and full of raw emotion—something that transcended the chaos around him.
Ozzy Osbourne’s death confirmed.
The heavy metal icon, who once bit the head off a bat on stage, died surrounded by family, according to an emotional statement from his loved ones.
“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey…” the Osbourne family wrote, asking for privacy as they mourned the loss of their rock legend.
His death came weeks after his final performance in Aston. Many in the audience didn’t realize it would be the last time they’d ever see Ozzy on stage, giving it his all one final time.
Though his diagnosis was only made public in 2020, the disease had plagued him for years, compounded by falls and spinal surgery.
Despite constant health setbacks—including ATV accidents and pneumonia—the rocker refused to cancel gigs and stayed on the road.
After neck surgery, multiple falls, and worsening tremors, Ozzy was often seen with a cane or in a wheelchair—never once complaining publicly.
The couple, married since 1982, weathered addiction, affairs, and even near-fatal accidents—yet she stood by him to the end.
Ozzy Osbourne’s funeral detailed.
The funeral took place in Birmingham on July 30. The same city where he was born, raised—and said goodbye during one final Black Sabbath concert at Villa Park just weeks before his death.
Crowds filled the streets, chanting Ozzy’s name as the coffin was lowered. It was loud, proud, and completely fitting.
The family, dressed in all black, kept their cool as flowers reading “OZZY F*****G OSBOURNE” were laid behind their Buckinghamshire manor.
Ozzy’s final request unveiled.
In his 2010 memoir I Am Ozzy, the rocker laid out in vivid detail exactly how he wanted to go—and what he wanted to avoid.
Ozzy was clear: no cremation, no ashes, no urns. He wanted a hole in the earth and a tree on top of his decaying bones.
He envisioned a peaceful garden where his kids could harvest fruit, make wine, and get “p***ed out of their heads” in his memory.
Ozzy once joked that his funeral playlist could include anything—from Justin Bieber to Susan Boyle—so long as no one was crying too hard.
He mockingly predicted his own gravestone inscription: a nod to his notorious bat-biting moment and lifelong refusal to be ordinary.
Ozzy’s burial site revealed.
And now, that vision has come true. Sharon reportedly buried him beneath a crabapple tree near the lake at their sprawling 250-acre Buckinghamshire estate.
According to MailOnline, mourners were seen leaving flowers and purple plants near the freshly dug grave, close to the family manor.
Sharon fulfilling his final wish speaks volumes.
The idea of turning into a tree, rooted in his estate, with his kids toasting him with homemade wine? Pure Ozzy.
Despite decades of chaos and controversies, the love between Sharon and Ozzy was steady—and this last act proves it.
Fans are already making their way to the gates of the estate, leaving handwritten notes, candles, and photos near the tree.
From Sabbath riffs to solo hits to outrageous antics, Ozzy Osbourne leaves behind a legend that refuses to die.
Sharon gave him what he asked for: no fanfare, no flames—just soil, roots, and a legacy planted deep in rock and roll history.
Cause of death confirmed.
It’s now been confirmed Ozzy died from a heart attack caused by coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s
