I can hardly believe it, but on July 22, the incomparable Ozzy Osbourne took his final bow, enveloped by the love of his family. After a powerful reunion concert in our beloved hometown of Birmingham, England – their last hurrah – the immortal heavy metal titan has left us, as confirmed by his family’s statement. Now, his bandmates are pouring out their deepest feelings about this loss and reminiscing on the incredible impact that Ozzy’s life and legacy have had.
Black Sabbath remembers Ozzy Osbourne
I wonder where you are now? I find you in our treasured memories, our unspoken hugs, and missed phone calls. But know that you’ll always reside within my heart.” To those who endured the same loss with me, “My deepest sympathies go out to Sharon and all family members. Rest In Peace. My sincerest regrets to all the fans. It’s never goodbye, but thank you forever.
Geezer Butler, the bassist and lyricist of Black Sabbath, expressed a heartfelt goodbye to his cherished friend, saying “Thank you for all those years – we certainly had some fantastic times. Who would have thought, right? It’s wonderful that we got to experience it one last time, back in Aston.” (In this context, “Aston” refers to the neighborhood where they grew up.)
In my own words, I’d express it as: “I am utterly stunned to announce that my cherished friend Ozzy has left us, barely a few weeks after our performance at Villa Park. This devastating news is almost unbearable, and I find myself struggling to put the feelings into words. There will never be another quite like him. My bandmates Geezer, Bill, and I have lost an irreplaceable brother. My deepest sympathies go out to Sharon and the entire Osbourne family. Rest in peace, Oz.
Various music icons and international celebrities have paid their own respects to the singer by expressing the profound effect he had on the heavy metal genre, particularly noticeable following Black Sabbath’s performance at the Back to the Beginning festival. Formed in 1986, the band experienced numerous transformations but achieved its greatest triumph with its original members.
