Ozzy Osbourne, Heavy Metal Trailblazer and Reality TV Icon, Dies at 76

[Rolling Stone] Ozzy Osbourne, the larger-than-life frontman of Black Sabbath and one of the architects of heavy metal, has died at 76. His family said he passed peacefully, surrounded by love. Osbourne had long struggled with serious health issues, including Parkinson’s disease and complications from a fall. Revered for hits like “Iron Man” and “Crazy Train,” his influence went beyond music and into pop culture via reality TV. Fans around the world mourn the loss of a rock legend who always kept it real.
