The frontman of Black Sabbath, who also enjoyed a successful solo career, was known to younger generations as a reality TV personality on The Osbournes.
Osbourne was famous for his theatrical antics on stage, even famously biting the head off a bat.
In recent years he was beset with health issues, including a Parkinsons diagnosis that left him unable to walk.
Osbourne performed in a ‘Back to the Beginning’ Black Sabbath farewell concert just weeks ago in his hometown of Birmingham, England attracting fans from around the world, including fellow musicians.
