TMZ has released aerial images showing the final resting place of Ozzy Osbourne, located beside a serene lake on the expansive grounds of his Buckinghamshire, England estate. You can view the photos at this location.
The New York Times yesterday reported that Osbourne, the iconic voice of BLACK SABBATH, died from a heart attack. A death certificate filed in London by his daughter Aimée Rose Osbourne also listed coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease as contributing health conditions. The fatal heart attack occurred outside of a hospital setting.
Reports from the Daily Mail indicate that on the morning of July 22, an air ambulance was dispatched to Ozzy’s Buckinghamshire estate, Welders House. The helicopter touched down in a nearby field around 10:30 a.m., before returning to its base at RAF Benson in South Oxfordshire two hours later.
“We can confirm that our helicopter was dispatched to provide advanced critical care at an incident near Chalfont St Giles yesterday,” a Thames Valley Air Ambulance spokesperson confirmed to the outlet.
His sister, Jean Powell, told The Mirror the loss took the family by surprise. “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.”
The Osbourne family issued a statement the same day, sharing their grief with fans around the world: “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.”
In recent years, Ozzy faced numerous health challenges, including a 2019 fall that left him with serious injuries and a public battle with Parkinson’s disease.
Only two weeks before his death, Ozzy made his last live appearance with BLACK SABBATH at Birmingham’s Villa Park. The historic show saw him perform four songs with his original bandmates for more than 40,000 in-person fans, while millions more watched via livestream. He also treated the audience to a five-song solo set, seated on a throne adorned with bats — a fitting final image of heavy metal’s ultimate showman.
