Ozzy Osbourne passed away due to a heart attack, according to a death certificate report
In the heart of Birmingham, fans gathered to witness Ozzy Osbourne's final performance, little knowing it would be his swan song. The legendary rocker, who passed away on July 22, 2025 at the age of 76, had been battling multiple health issues for several years, most notably Parkinson’s disease[1][4].
Osbourne's final performance took place in his hometown, where he expressed gratitude to his fans before exclaiming, "Let's go crazy, come on"[6]. Seated on a black throne, he gave a stirring performance that left his admirers in awe.
The death certificate, submitted by his daughter Aimeé Osbourne, states that Ozzy Osbourne had been suffering from coronary artery disease and Parkinson's disease for some time[5]. The exact nature of the autonomic dysfunction associated with his Parkinson's disease was not specified on the death certificate[3]. The cause of his death was an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, and complications from Parkinson's disease[7].
Osbourne's health issues were not limited to Parkinson’s disease. He underwent at least four spinal surgeries, including one in 2023 to address damage caused by a fall years earlier that dislodged metal rods implanted in his spine[1]. These surgeries and injuries, coupled with the progression of his Parkinson’s disease, made continued touring and performing impossible in recent years[1][2].
The death certificate was filed at a register office in London[2]. The district where Ozzy Osbourne was officially pronounced dead is covered by Hillingdon Council, but specific details about the timing or circumstances of the cardiac arrest have not been released[8].
The Associated Press sent emailed requests for comment to Ozzy Osbourne's representatives but did not receive an immediate response[9]. Similarly, requests for confirmation from the registry office in Hillingdon Council were met with silence[9]. The Osbourne family has requested privacy and stated that he was with relatives when he died[10].
Fans mourned Osbourne's death in Birmingham last week, marking the end of an era in the world of rock music[11]. Ozzy Osbourne, the Prince of Darkness, will be remembered for his iconic voice, his energetic performances, and his unwavering spirit in the face of adversity.
