Prince of Darkness; 3 December 1948 - 22 July 2025

When news broke of Ozzy Osbourne’s passing last week, the headlines all sounded the same: Black Sabbath frontman, bat-biter, godfather of metal. But for those following his life beyond the caricature, these fell short. Ozzy wasn’t iconic for one moment; he mattered because no one in the history of popular music fell as far, as often, and still found a way back.
Ozzy grew up in working-class Birmingham. Dyslexic, poor, and often ridiculed, he wasn’t expected to go far: At 15, he served six weeks in prison for burglary. He tattooed “O-Z-Z-Y” on his knuckles using sewing needles and pencil lead. These weren’t rockstar stunts. This was a teenager with no roadmap trying to find a way.
When Black Sabbath (originally called Earth) formed in 1968, it not only birthed Metal, but also gave language to a certain dread. Heavy riffs, slow pacing, and Ozzy’s strained, unvarnished vocals singing about war, madness, and death. The title track “Black Sabbath” terrified early audiences. “They thought we were Satan’s friends or something,” Ozzy said in a 2016 interview. “That’s when the whole Prince of Darkness stuff started.”
After being kicked out of Sabbath in 1979, Ozzy pursued a solo career. Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman brought occult and mental anguish into the mainstream, without softening the edges.
The chaos that defined his early life also unraveled in public. He snorted ants, set hotel rooms on fire, drank to the point of oblivion, wandered graveyards mid-session, and fired a shotgun through studio windows! He also performed at a White House dinner during George W. Bush’s presidency. The Osbournes on MTV became a time capsule of pre-social media celebrity life. And while doing this, he also provided a platform to younger acts like Slipknot, SOAD, and Korn with OzzFest.
His final years weren’t easy. Diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2019, and later battling emphysema. His last public appearance came just weeks before his death at a Sabbath farewell in Birmingham. He stayed off medication just to be lucid enough for the stage. The show raised nearly $190M for Parkinson’s research and children’s hospitals.
May the Prince of Darkness rest easy.

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease four years ago. For over two years, I relied on Levodopa and several other medications, but unfortunately, the symptoms kept getting worse. The tremors became more noticeable, and my balance and mobility started to decline quickly. Last year, out of desperation and hope, I decided to try a herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic.
Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, I began to notice real changes. My movements became smoother, the tremors subsided, and I felt steadier on my feet. Incredibly, I also regained much of my energy and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience I feel more like myself again, better than I’ve felt in years.If you or a loved one is struggling with Parkinson’s disease, I truly recommend looking into their natural approach.

Good day viewers, I wish to share my testimony with all of you. I have daily 9 to 5 jobs, but while I work, I try my luck at playing instant Lotto. On this particular day, I decided to seek help online regarding tips for winning the lottery, and I saw many individuals testifying about Meduza spells. I reached out to him and informed him that I needed help to win the lottery, and he clarified the process to me, stating that after he casts the spell, it will take 48 hours for him to provide me the winning numbers, which I accepted. I followed all his instructions, and he provided me with the numbers to enter the Lottery. After the draw the following morning, I received a notification on the Lottery app on my phone indicating that I was the lucky winner of $273 million on the New Jersey Lottery and I’m here to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Meduza. If you seek for assistance in any aspect of your life, Whats__App: +1 (807) 907 2687 or Email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com or visit his Webpage: lordmeduzatemple.com

Personal growth is important for achieving success in life. All these words were shared with me by Meduza, who performed a spell reading for me and created a lottery spell that turned me into a lottery champion of $112 million here in Arizona. Within 48 hours of adhering to all of Meduza’s divine instructions, he granted me the chance to use the divine lottery numbers to enter the lottery after I bought my ticket in Tempe. A week later, I was informed that I had become the fortunate Jackpot winner of the lottery game, and this was all made possible by Meduza. I want to kindly express my gratitude to him for his impactful words and actions. For a transformative opportunity in your life, contact Meduza via

HOW I WON THE LOTTERY WITH LORD BUBUZA LOTTERY SPELL AND MY LIFE CHANGED: I’m a 26-year-old from Toronto and I just won $60 million in the lottery. Life was really hard before this and I was constantly struggling to pay my bills. While searching online for ways to turn things around, I came across stories of people saying that Lord Bubuza helped them win the lottery. I was curious and decided to give it a try. I reached out to him and he responded quickly. He told me what was needed to cast a lottery spell. After the spell was done, he gave me numbers to play. I used OLG’s Never Miss a Draw subscription and a few days later, I got a call saying I had won $60 million. I was completely shocked and overwhelmed with emotion. I never believed something like this could happen to me. I am truly grateful to Lord Bubuza for this incredible blessing. You can contact him via WhatsApp: +1 365 808 5313 or email: lordbubuzamiraclework@hotmail.com …!!!
