Ozzy Osbourne Dies Heart Attack, Parkinson’s Disease Confirmed

Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary Black Sabbath frontman, died on July 22, 2025, at age 76, with the official cause of death confirmed as a heart attack (acute myocardial infarction) compounded by coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease. His death certificate, signed by his daughter Aimee, lists cardiac arrest and coronary artery disease as primary causes, with Parkinson’s disease and autonomic dysfunction noted as contributing factors. Osbourne had battled Parkinson’s disease publicly since 2020, although symptoms appeared as early as 2003, and his health had been severely impacted by a 2019 fall that worsened previous spinal injuries, leading to chronic pain and limited mobility. Despite these challenges, he performed a farewell concert with Black Sabbath in Birmingham just weeks before his death, marking the end of both his solo and band careers. Osbourne was surrounded by his family at his Buckinghamshire home when he passed and was laid to rest in his estate garden beside a lake, per his wishes. Fans and fellow musicians paid tribute through memorials and public gatherings, celebrating his lasting influence on rock music.
