Ozzy Osbourne Passed Away Unexpectedly In July Of This Year

Ozzy Osbourne would have celebrated his 77th birthday on Wednesday (December 3, 2025). Sadly, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer passed away on July 22, 2025.

Although Ozzy had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, his primary cause of death was listed as out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

“No one expected it to happen as quickly as it did, and when it did,” Ozzy’s son, Jack, said in a video about his passing. “It was not anything that was on our radar.”

Ozzy was honored during a public funeral procession that traveled through his hometown of Birmingham, England, on July 30. His wife, Sharon, and their children, Aimee, Kelly, and Jack, were involved in the procession.
