Ozzy Osbourne: His last post looks like a farewell

Just one day before his death, the late rock star Ozzy Osbourne (1948-2025) posted a photo that interpret his fans as a farewell. The recording shows a hallway, presumably in the backstage area of a concert arena. The focus of this is a sign of his farewell tour with the inscription: “Back to the starting – The Final Show” (German back to the beginning – the last show). It shows the original Black Sabbath line-up: Geezer Butler (76), Tony Iommi (77), Ozzy Osbourne and Bill Ward (77).

It is the last post on social media from Ozzy Osbourne. The death of the legendary “Prince of Darkness” and front man of Black Sabbath was announced a day later. He died by his family at the age of 76. The pioneer of the heavy metal scene did not write a caption, he only linked his song “Mr. Crowley”.

Fans flood the comment area with their sympathy: “Thank you for shared your life with us. I love you and peace in peace”. Others call him a “legend” and thank you for the music that the singer shared with the world. With Black Sabbath and as a soloist after leaving the band in 1979, Osbourne wrote metal history.

Just a few weeks before his death, Osbourne performed on July 5 during the “Back to The Beginning” farewell concert by Black Sabbath in Birmingham, his hometown and the birthplace of the band. It was a final appearance that was prepared for a long time. In February 2025, the Grammy winner announced that this farewell show would be his first complete concert with Black Sabbath for 20 years. This ended an era for the band, which co -founded the heavy metal and made Osbourne, who was suffering from Parkinson’s in 2003, one of the most influential musicians in rock history.

“With more sadness than mere words can convey, we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne died this morning,” confirmed his wife Sharon, as well as the children Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis in a joint explanation on Tuesday, from the various. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect the privacy of our family at that time.”
