The Heavy Metal Legions are grieving hard with the news that the legendary Prince Of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne has passed away at age 76. It was only a few short weeks ago that he hit the stage for one last time as a solo artist and with his original Black Sabbath bandmates for what was viewed as an ultimate celebration of a life devoted to Heavy Metal music. The statement from the Osbourne family is presented below this photograph that I snapped with my mobile back in 2016 at one of “The End” performances by Sabbath.
