Fans, musicians and former bands have paid tribute to Ozi Osbourne, who is the frontman of the Heavy Metal Band Black Sabbath’s frontman, who died at the age of 76.
Black Sabbath says “our brother lost to”, the band’s co-founder Tony Iomi says, while Bassist Terence “Geyser” Butler remembered his last gig and drummer Bill Ward shared a picture of him simultaneously.
The death of the music icon on Tuesday, declared by his family, came to his home in his home in Birmingham a few weeks after playing his farewell gig.
His family said, “It is more sad that compared to the words, we can tell that our beloved Ozi Ozborn has passed away this morning.” “He was with his family and was surrounded by love.”
Osbourne, known for the energetic and controversial live show, inspired a generation of musicians.
American Rock band Aerosmith called him “our brother in rock”, saying that his love “goes out … millions of people around the world who feel their fire”.
Less than three weeks ago, the self-style was performed in the “Prince of Darkness” Birmingham, supported by many musicians, inspired by them, including Metalica and Guns ‘N’ roses.
Billy Corgon, the lead singer of the smashing pumpkin – one of the several bands performing with him – said: “Some of the world’s biggest music artists really traveled from all over the world to celebrate the legacy of this band.
“This is one of the greatest music moments of my life,” Corgan said, who spoke to BBC Radio 4’s The World Tonite.
Van Halan’s prominent singer, who played at a farewell concert for Osbourne, said, “It was close to death for him on 5 July and still wakes up there and as he promises … Wow! He puts it in his category.”
Others shared fond memories of Osbourne’s largest life character.
Jem Aswad, Senior Entertainment Editor of Variety Magazine, first met Osbourne when he was “nervous” to meet the dark prince.
Aswad told the BBC, “It was a really bizarre view.”
Osbourne entered the room in a bathrobe close to the afternoon, wearing “just waking up”, jewelery and luggage load and “a lot of gold”, aswad said, although Osborne was “completely good, completely favorable”.
Meanwhile, fan gathered at the Hollywood Walk of Fame at Los Angeles, where he placed flowers on a star dedicated to Osbourne.
The site manufacturer Ana Martinez said, “Osbourne was more than a rock legend – he was a cultural icon who re -shaped music and dismissed expectations.”
Black Sabbath was a pioneer in the heavy metal style of music, which used to write classic tracks such as paranoid, war boar and iron man.
After leaving the band on growing stress with its other members in 1979, Osborne created a long single music career, releasing more than a dozen albums. The next year, the Crazy train released is his first single, of course one of his most famous songs.
Osbourne has survived three of his wife Sharon and six children, each of his two marriages.
