According to The New York Times, Ozzy Osbourne died of a heart attack. A death certificate filed at a registry in London and submitted by Osbourne's daughter Aimée Rose Osbourne also indicates that the legendary BLACK SABBATH singer had suffered from coronary artery disease and Parkinson's disease. The document also says that the heart attack occurred "out of hospital."
Two days after Ozzy's death, Daily Mail reported that an air ambulance was called to Welders House, the BLACK SABBATH singer's mansion in Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom mansion, on the morning of July 22. Just 15 minutes later, at 10:30 a.m., the chopper landed in a field near the Osbourne estate. Around 12:30 p.m., the paramedics returned to their base 27 miles away at RAF Benson, near Wallingford, South Oxfordshire.
"We can confirm that our helicopter was dispatched to provide advanced critical care at an incident near Chalfont St Giles yesterday," a spokesperson for the Thames Valley Air Ambulance wrote to the Daily Mail.
Ozzy's 85-year-old sister Jean Powell also spoke to The Mirror about the singer's death and said that it was unexpected. "He was frail but it still came as a shock," she said. "He still had plans and things he wanted to do. We don't know the details of his death; it's still too early. It's just so sad. I'm just thankful he died in England."
Ozzy died the morning of July 22, his family announced in a statement.
"It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time," the family said.
Osbourne had battled a number of health issues over the past several years, including Parkinson's disease and injuries he sustained from a late-night fall in 2019.
An exhibition to celebrate the solo achievements and global awards of Ozzy Osbourne has been extended to the end of 2025 at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery in Birmingham, United Kingdom due to public demand.
"Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero" was officially opened by Ozzy's wife and manager Sharon Osbourne on Wednesday, June 25 to coincide with BLACK SABBATH's historic homecoming concert at Villa Park on Saturday, July 5.
The free exhibition, developed in partnership with Central BID Birmingham, showcases Ozzy's most prestigious international honors, including Grammy Awards, Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame accolades, MTV awards, Hollywood Walk Of Fame and Birmingham Walk Of Stars honors and a selection of his platinum and gold discs, alongside photography and video that chart his journey from "a working-class kid from Aston" to the world's most recognizable global rock legend.
Since the exhibition's opening, the museum has seen over 96,000 visitors through its doors. It will now continue to be on display until the end of the year with the support of the Osbourne family.
Sam Watson, chair, Central BID, said: "Central BID is extremely proud as curator and sponsor of the exhibition, which gives fans the chance to connect with the life and legacy of someone who never forgot where he came from.
"The response from the public has been phenomenal, and it's only right that the exhibition continues so even more people can pay tribute to Ozzy's extraordinary life."
