On July 22, 2025, the world mourned the passing of Ozzy Osbourne, a music legend and innovator of the Metal genre. Ozzy was 76 when the announcement of his passing was made public. To those who might not know, Ozzy Osbourne was the lead singer of one of the most influential bands of the late 1960s and 1970s, Black Sabbath, which gave the world juggernaut hits such as “Paranoid” and “Iron Man,” with the band being inducted into the 2006 Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n

After leaving the band, Ozzy would embark on his massively successful solo career, churning out hits like “Crazy Train.” Entering the 2000s, Ozzy Osbourne would slow down a bit and introduce his more genuine self through reality television, which people adored about the “Prince of Darkness.”<\/p>\n

Through the decades, Ozzy was also involved with WWE on multiple memorable occasions. Osbourne managed the British Bulldogs, alongside Captain Lou Albano, at WrestleMania 2. In the late-2000s, Ozzy, along with his wife, Sharon Osbourne, was a guest host of WWE Raw in 2009.<\/p>\n
