Ozzy Osbourne dies

Metal star dies just three weeks after farewell concert

Heavy metal star Ozzy Osbourne has died just weeks after reuniting with his Black Sabbath bandmates and performing a huge farewell concert for fans.

In a statement, his family said: “It is with greater sadness than words can express that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love.“

While performing from a throne on stage at Villa Park less than three weeks ago, Osbourne told fans: “You have no idea how I feel - thank you from the bottom of my heart.“
