Ozzy Osbourne’s Sudden Passing Shocked Fans Worldwide

Ozzy Osbourne passed away unexpectedly in July of this year. Although he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, his official cause of death was listed as “out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.”

His son Jack Osbourne later reflected on the devastating moment, saying:
“No one expected it to happen as quickly as it did, and when it did. It was not anything that was on our radar.”

The sudden loss stunned family, longtime friends, and millions of fans who followed Ozzy’s decades-long career, from his rise with Black Sabbath to his legendary solo status as the “Prince of Darkness.”
