Ozzy Osbourne, the lead singer of the famous heavy metal band Black Sabbath, has died at the age of 76. Musicians and fans around the world are sharing tributes, including well-known artists like Ronnie Wood and Metallica.

They are remembering him as a music legend and one of the most influential figures in rock history.

In a video from 2017, Ozzy talked about the reasons why Black Sabbath ended. He explained that the decision was not easy, but he felt it was the right time to make a change. He also said the band never imagined that their music would inspire so many other groups and styles. Their sound became a key part of heavy metal music and helped shape the genre.

Ozzy also reflected on the band’s beginnings. He said they started by playing in a small pub in Birmingham and had no idea they would become global stars. Their journey from local musicians to international fame surprised even them.
