Ozzy Osbourne, the singer of the band Black Sabbath, died. He was 76 years old. Many famous people, like Ronnie Wood and Metallica, are saying nice things about him.

They say he was a legend who changed music and helped make heavy metal popular.

In a video from 2017, Ozzy said why the band stopped playing. He said it was the right time to end. He also said he was surprised that so many bands loved their music.

The band started in a small pub in Birmingham, and they didn’t think they would become famous. But they became one of the biggest bands in the world. Many fans and musicians will remember him and his music for a long time.

Difficult words: famous (when many people know someone), legend (a person who many people know or remember for doing something very well).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
