See last photos of Ozzy Osbourne 2 weeks before his death
The last photos of Ozzy Osbourne before his death were of him doing what he loved — rocking out onstage.
Two weeks before his death on Tuesday, Osbourne took part in Black Sabbath’s farewell show on July 5. He performed his final show with his bandmates — Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward — at the Villa Park Stadium in Birmingham, England, where the band was formed in the late ’60s.
Osbourne sat in a chair for part of his final performance, rocking his signature black eyeliner and long dark hair.
He wore a black sequin shirt for the occasion, along with an eye-catching black jacket with a gold band reading “Ozzy” and leather pants.
The epic 10-hour show featured performances from Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Jack Black and more, and was hosted by actor Jason Momoa.
Ozzy’s family confirmed his death in a statement obtained by Page Six. He was 76 years old.
“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,” the statement reads.
“He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.”
The heavy metal titan had been struggling with his health over the past couple of years.
Ozzy revealed in January 2020 that he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, a secret he had kept for over 15 years.
In addition to the progressive brain disorder affecting his nervous system, Ozzy had been reeling from neck injuries he sustained in a 2003 quad biking accident.
His final Instagram post was a touching tribute to Black Sabbath.
He posted an image Sunday of a poster that was hanging outside of his dressing room door from their final show.
The photo showed Ozzy and his bandmates, along with the words, “Back to the Beginning.”
