Official declaration confirmed: Cause of Ozzy Osbourne's demise revealed.
In a poignant moment for the music industry, legendary rock icon Ozzy Osbourne performed his final show just weeks before his untimely death on July 22nd, 2025. The location and date of the farewell concert remained undisclosed.
Osbourne, known as the "Prince of Darkness" and a "rock legend," took the stage with the original lineup of Black Sabbath, marking a poignant return to his musical roots. The setlist for the emotional performance was not detailed.
The concert was a testament to Osbourne's unyielding spirit, despite his battle with Parkinson's disease, which was diagnosed in 2020. The degenerative condition affected his motor functions and autonomic nervous system, complicating his overall health. He also suffered from other health issues, including a 2003 quad-biking accident, a severe fall in 2019, and bouts of Covid, all of which exacerbated his decline.
Despite these challenges, Osbourne performed the concert seated due to mobility limitations, a stark contrast to his energetic performances of yesteryears. His autonomic dysfunction likely contributed to the cardiac complications leading to his death at the age of 76.
In February 2025, Osbourne announced that he was no longer able to walk. His death certificate, filed by his daughter Aimee Osbourne in London, listed his occupation as "songwriter, performer, and rock legend."
The cause of death was stated as a heart attack (acute myocardial infarction), with coronary artery disease and Parkinson's disease with autonomic dysfunction listed as contributing causes.
The duration of the farewell show was not specified, but it marked the end of Osbourne's live performance career, leaving a lasting impact on the music industry and his millions of fans worldwide.
