Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary frontman of the rock band Black Sabbath, passed away at 76 years old. He had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease five years prior. Osbourne's last performance was on July 5 in Birmingham, U.K., where he reunited with Black Sabbath in front of 42,000 fans. His impact on music is recognized by musicians and experts, noting his distinct voice and ability to inspire a different approach to music, moving away from the mainstream pop sounds of his era.
"He's the lord of metal. He's the prince of darkness. He made it cool to not conform," said Jaye Schwarzer, reflecting Ozzy Osbourne's unique influence on music.
Osbourne rose to prominence in the late 1960s with Black Sabbath, becoming known as the father of heavy metal and influencing future musicians.
