A Life That Changed Music

Causes of death
In recent years, Ozzy has struggled with health complications, including Parkinson's disease and injuries after his fall in 2019.

It was a symbol of strength and devotion to fans – even when the body refused to obey.
Metal revolution and stage madness
Ozzy Osbourne was one of the creators of style, which for music is what points return for the film. Strong riffs, dark lyrics, unforgettable performances and controversy:
- Beating the bat's head on stage (to-day anecdote in the rock world)
- Loud expulsion from Black Sabbath for... drug abuse (although other members did the same)
- A solo career and above average success of albums "Blizzard of Ozz" and "No More Tears"
Family and private life
Ozzy leaves Sharon's wife, three children (Aimee, Kelly, Jack) and two from her first marriage (Jessica, Louis). The grandkids and loved ones were with him till the end.
Pop culture icon
Many associate him not only with music, but also with the program "The Osbournes". His sense of humor, distance to himself and crazy actions made him recognizable even by people not interested in rock.
Last concert – goodbye to fans
A few weeks before Ozzy Osbourne died, he again stood on stage with Black Sabbath at a farewell concert in Birmingham. It was a gesture to fans who followed him for decades.
