The Osbournes are a bunch of Trump supporters. After the (allegedly) staged assassination attempt, the whole family hopped on The Osbournes podcast to sing his praises. I grew up with this family but I was so disgusted by their comments that I immediately unsubscribed and haven’t followed anything Ozzy since…
Besides being a Trump supporter, Ozzy was also a huge backer of Israel.

allegedly staged? You don’t have to be conspiracy theorist to hate Trump…
I’m not a conspiracy theorist.
You have seen the footage from the newly released camera angle that was circulating a few days ago, right? Here it is with descriptive captions in case you haven’t:
RIP
I prefer this one
It is better.
Or maybe just the second panel of the first one :‘’(.I like that idea
Shocked he made it this long tbh. That’s a long life of going hard

I’m not sure that’s how I would describe his last 25 years. He was shuffling around on the Osbournes a quarter century ago looking a little worse for ware for someone in their early fifties.
I remember going to an ozzy concert around the time of the Osborne’s and he shuffled to the mic like an old man, and as soon as the music hit, he was running and jumping around stage like a madman. The concert was ozzy and Rob zombie so it was a great show, i also remember Rob zombie’s wife in a cage on stage
IIRC, those were early signs of his Parkinson’s disease, and he was untreated at that point. He was doing much better for a number of years after that show, once they figured out what was wrong with him and started him on a treatment plan.
Ozzy just went upstairs to drink with Lemmy.
This one is tough. I wasn’t an Ozzy super fan or anything, but at the time I grew up (70s - 80s), there was no avoiding him.
I listen to some of the older Black Sabbath songs differently now as well, and have a different appreciation for them. Doesn’t stop me from doing some air guitar in the car though.🤘RIP Ozzy🤘 You certainly didn’t die as an ordinary man.
We lost a pioneer of culture today. Ozzy had such a vast cultural reach he became a household name. I can’t tell you how many dogs I’ve met named Ozzy because of him.
Rest in Peace to one of the most incredible personalities in music ever.
I have a friend who adopted Ozzy as his nickname thanks to Ozzy Osbourne. And yes, we did go to Ozzfest together, twice, and had an awesome time both times.

He made it to the average expectancy. Considering he was anything but “average” he made it a lot longer than most I think expected.

So cool he got to play out the final show, rip legend
Wonder if he knew it was coming. Glad he got that farewell concert
He and Sharon have been longtime proponents of euthanasia. It’s entirely possible this was the plan all along.
Honestly, no judgment either way. Ozzy is a legend, and he died as he lived - on his own terms. RIP.
I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised what with the late-stage parkinson’s
symptoms usually begans around 60, so he would had for a while.
…
There were some comments he made after the show that really made it sound like he knew his time was up.
The emotions he had during a few of the songs, I chalked up to the finality of the performance at the time. Now I definitely feel it was something bigger he knew.
Singing about end-times in your twenties is cool and edgy. Bringing those same lyrics to his metaphorical death bed, hit totally different and it showed.
The radio show I was listening to while driving this morning said that concert felt like a tribute except he was technically alive and present.
Or maybe it was just a ‘shot in the dark’.
Me too. The man was a legend and a pioneer, and deserved nothing less. RIP Ozzy, it was fun having you in our lives.
If anyone would have been immortal, I’d be Ozzy. No such luck. RIP you legend.
“Mama I’m coming home.”
Tearing up just typing it.
🤘
Man, he made one last farewell before he joined the ferryman. This deserves all the respect he got. Fuckin legend!
Charon! Charon!

How do you get that wrong?
dude
In case you’re serious
R.I.P Hellraiser. May you rock out in the afterlife with Dio, Lemmy, Cliff and all the others we have lost. Forgive us for though you said ‘No More Tears’ we shed this loss. Rest easy.
Thank you, Ozzy. R.I.P.
