British heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne passes away

Digital Desk: In tragic news, British heavy metal icon and Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne died at the age of 76. He became one of the most well-known rock frontmen of all time thanks to his happy "Prince of Darkness" persona.

This was stated by the Osbourne family, who issued a statement regarding this matter.

Osbourne is one of rock's most notorious figures: a showman who once viciously bit a bat's head off on stage, a notorious addict who tried to kill his wife due to substance abuse, a pioneer whose eerie wail helped create the heavy metal genre, and, most recently, a TV star who was adored for his laughter at family life on 'The Osbournes'.
