Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary rock frontman, passed away on July 22, 2025, leaving behind a legacy marked by both triumph and heartache. His final days were filled with the lingering pain of his 1979 departure from Black Sabbath, a band he had once been the face of. In his documentary, ‘Ozzy: No Escape From Now,’ his daughter, Kelly Osbourne, spoke candidly about how her father never truly moved on from the band’s decision to let him go, which she described as a moment that forever changed his life. The bandmen, including Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward, had parted ways with Ozzy due to his heavy drinking, drug use, and the creative clashes that had become an increasingly difficult part of their relationship, leading to his removal from the group. In the documentary, Ozzy’s health struggles started to become more visible, with his condition deteriorating by 2018. He faced multiple health scares, including a severe cracking of his vertebrae, sepsis, and pneumonia, which kept him out of the spotlight and in constant pain. Despite these, Ozzy made it clear in the film that he did not want to die a ‘nobody.’ He came from nothing and often heard voices, which he dubbed ‘the committee,’ that whispered to him of failure. His final show with Black Sabbath was a moment of catharsis. It took place in Birmingham, England, where he reunited with his former bandmates for a 10-hour farewell concert. The event was hosted by Jason Momoa and featured a stellar lineup of musicians from across the music industry, including Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Jack Black, Steven Tyler, and many others. At the concert, legendary drummers like Danny Carey, Chad Smith, and Travis Barker performed a powerful cover of ‘Symptom of the Universe’ and delivered a tribute to the iconic band. Ozzy, who remained seated for the duration of the evening, was lifted onto a black throne decorated with skulls and a black bat. As he sang hits such as ‘Crazy Train’ and ‘Mama I’m Coming Home,’ he expressed deep gratitude for his life and career, saying, ‘Thank you from the bottom of my heart.’ Despite his health challenges, Ozzy took the stage with a sense of determination and gratitude. His death on July 22, 2025, came just days after the concert. The Osbourne family shared a heartfelt statement, expressing their love and support for Ozzy as he passed away. They asked for privacy during this time as they mourned the loss of the rock icon. The final scenes of the documentary showed Ozzy’s children, Aimee, Kelly, and Jack, arriving at the public memorial in Birmingham, where they laid flowers to rest and were in tears as the camera cut out. The documentary captured not only Ozzy’s personal journey but also the lasting impact he had on the world of rock. His story is a reminder of both the highs and lows of fame, and the enduring legacy of Black Sabbath, which he never quite left behind.
