Ozzy Osbourne, the Black Sabbath singer and WWE Hall of
Famer, passed away at age 76, just weeks after a farewell
show in Birmingham, England on July 5.
“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,” a statement from his family said. “He
was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone
to respect our family privacy at this time.”
The legendary heavy metal singer was inducted into the WWE
Hall of Fame Class of 2021 and has appeared on WWE
television multiple times over the years. His song, War
Pigs, is used as the theme for WarGames.
Ozzy has one WrestleMania appearance way back in 1986 at
WrestleMania 2, joining Captain Lou Albano and The British
Bulldogs.
On the July 7 episode of Raw, two days after his farewell
concert, WWE paid tribute to the Brit.
“I want to send a very special congratulations to WWE Hall
of Famer, the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne, on his
farewell performance this past weekend in Birmingham,” said
Corey Graves during he show. “The greatest to ever do it.”
