What Really Happened to Ozzy Osbourne? Cause of Death Revealed

Two weeks after the world said goodbye to one of rock’s most iconic rebels, the cause behind Ozzy Osbourne’s death has finally been confirmed.

According to official records obtained by The New York Times, Ozzy died from a heart attack—specifically listed as an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and acute myocardial infarction. The report also cites coronary artery disease and complications from Parkinson’s disease with autonomic dysfunction as contributing factors.

The Prince of Darkness passed away peacefully on July 22, 2025, at the age of 76. He died in his Buckinghamshire home, surrounded by his closest family—an ending far gentler than the chaotic legend of his life might suggest.

For a man who once seemed indestructible, Ozzy’s final chapter was marked by resilience and reflection. Diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019, he faced mounting health struggles in the years that followed—from grueling spinal surgeries and chronic pain to a series of canceled tours. Yet, he never gave up the fight—or the music.

In a moment that now feels almost prophetic, Ozzy made a surprise return to the stage on July 5, just weeks before his death. Performing in Birmingham alongside the original Black Sabbath lineup, it was more than a concert—it was a farewell. Fans who were there didn’t know it at the time, but they were witnessing the final bow of a legend.

Ten days after his passing, Birmingham honored its native son with a massive memorial procession. Thousands lined the streets leading to the Black Sabbath bench and bridge—permanent tributes to the man who helped forge heavy metal and turned chaos into an art form.

Ozzy Osbourne’s voice may be silent, but his presence still echoes. In every gritty guitar riff, in every lyric sung in defiance or pain, his legacy endures. For every outsider who found comfort in the darkness, Ozzy remains a guiding flame.

He may have left this world—but the throne of the Prince of Darkness remains untouched.
