The unexpected job description on Ozzy Osbourne’s death certificate says it all
Ozzy Osbourne passed away in July at 76, and now his death certificate has been revealed — with a heartfelt nod to his incredible career.
Alongside the usual “songwriter” and “performer” titles, the legendary Black Sabbath frontman’s occupation is officially listed as “rock legend.”
The certificate confirms Ozzy’s cause of death as a heart attack, with Parkinson’s disease and heart problems also noted. Ozzy had been open about his health battles since 2020, showing his strength to fans right until the end.
Just weeks before he died, Ozzy gave what he called his “final encore” at Villa Park in Birmingham, performing with the original Black Sabbath lineup alongside big names like Metallica’s James Hetfield. He promised that show would be his last, and he gave it everything.
His funeral last week was an emotional gathering, with family, friends, and fellow musicians like Elton John and Marilyn Manson paying their respects. Thousands of fans lined the streets of Birmingham to honour a true icon.
Ozzy’s legacy as a pioneering rock figure is now officially recognised — fitting for a man who helped shape the sound of heavy metal forever.
