The death certificate of rock icon Ozzy Osbourne has been made public, revealing distressing details about his final days. The document confirms the Black Sabbath frontman's long battle with Parkinson's disease and other serious health complications.
According to the certificate, Osbourne suffered from multiple ailments in his last years, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and peripheral neuropathy. These conditions significantly impacted his mobility and quality of life before his death at age 74.
A Legend's Health Struggles
Medical records show Osbourne had been fighting Parkinson's since 2003, when he was first diagnosed. In recent years, the disease progressed rapidly, forcing the once-energetic performer to cancel tours and public appearances.
His wife Sharon Osbourne had previously spoken about her husband's determination to keep working despite his declining health. "He's the strongest man I know," she told reporters last year. "Even when every movement was painful, he wanted to give his fans one last show."
Fans React to Heartbreaking News
Social media has been flooded with tributes from devastated fans worldwide. Many shared memories of how Osbourne's music shaped their lives, while others expressed shock at the severity of his undisclosed health issues.
"We knew he wasn't well, but seeing it all laid out like this is heartbreaking," wrote one fan on Twitter. "The Prince of Darkness deserved more peaceful final years."
A Rock Legacy That Will Never Die
Despite his health battles, Osbourne's influence on music remains undeniable. From Black Sabbath's groundbreaking metal sound to his wildly successful solo career, he changed rock music forever.
Music historians note that Osbourne continued recording until shortly before his death, leaving behind what may be one final album scheduled for posthumous release later this year.
