Hours after Osbourne's death, Idol spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about Osbourne's musical legacy, and the path he carved for the musicians who came after him.

After Ozzy shaped the sound of heavy metal, he became a reality TV star. Here's a look back at the iconic moments from his MTV show, "The Osbournes."

Ozzy Osbourne, the former lead singer of British band Black Sabbath, was about to rock. The mood was festively macabre. Posters for the “Diary of a Madman Tour” showed Osbourne in his “Prince of Darkness” alter ego — complete with devil horns — and warned attendees that eating before the concert was “not recommended.

Coldplay dedicated a cover of Black Sabbath's soft-rock 1972 ballad "Changes" to the late Ozzy Osbourne at their concert at Nissan Stadium in Nashville on Tuesday, July 22. Before the show, a fan posted a clip on X from outside Nissan Stadium, where the band could be heard performing "Changes" during soundcheck.

Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, who served as musical director for Osbourne’s final show, shared a photo with the late singer on Instagram, writing, “Good bless you Ozzy.” Metallica’s X account also shared an image with Osbourne with a heartbroken emoji.

Ozzy Osbourne has had a complicated road as a parent, but managed to enjoy relationships with his six children and 10 grandchildren.

Ian Marshall, from Cardiff, came to Birmingham on Tuesday to celebrate his 52nd birthday and was doing the Black Sabbath tour along with his daughter, Erin, and her boyfriend, Tyler. Mr Marshall, who said he had loved Sabbath for probably more than 35 years, said Osbourne had "a life lived".
