OZZY’S FINAL REVELATION: Death Certificate Confirms Heart Attack at 76 — The Prince of Darkness’s Last Battle

Ozzy Osbourne’s final encore has been played, and it’s a headline no one in the rock world ever wanted to read — “OZZY’S CAUSE OF DEATH REVEALED. ”

The death certificate has spoken, and it’s as grim and blunt as the riffs he built his empire on.

On July 22, 2025, at the age of 76, the Prince of Darkness died of a heart attack.

Not in a blaze of fire and brimstone, not in some chaotic rock-and-roll backstage meltdown, but in the painfully human way so many of us go — the body finally waving the white flag.

According to the official document filed in London by his daughter Aimee Osbourne, cardiac arrest and coronary artery disease were the medical villains in this final act.

The certificate also quietly noted another cruel supporting character in the story — Parkinson’s disease, a condition Ozzy went public with in 2020, one that had shadowed his every move in recent years even as he tried to keep performing.

The thing about Ozzy is that, for decades, the man seemed indestructible.

This was the guy who bit the head off a bat onstage, who famously staggered through a lifetime of excess that would have buried lesser mortals by the mid-’80s.

He outlived every rumor of his demise, from drug overdoses to plane crashes to whispered health scares that turned out to be exaggerated or just plain made up.

Fans and haters alike had to admit it — if there was anyone who could somehow make it to 100 purely out of spite, it was John Michael Osbourne.

But time is undefeated, and even the loudest scream eventually fades.

Those who saw him in the last couple of years knew the signs were there.

The once-wild stage prowl had slowed.

His infamous mumbling had grown softer.

Parkinson’s had started chipping away at the agility that made him such a captivating chaos machine in the first place.

Still, even when he could barely walk without help, Ozzy would talk about getting back on the road, playing “just one more” show.

He told interviewers he didn’t want to die as “some sad old man who faded away” — he wanted to go out like the rocker he always was.

Life, in its twisted sense of irony, decided otherwise.

The death certificate’s cold medical language — “cardiac arrest,” “coronary artery disease” — can’t capture the heartbreak of millions of fans who grew up with his voice in their ears.

Nor can it explain the surreal moment of realizing that the man who once felt like a walking middle finger to mortality was now just… gone.

But it does give a rare piece of rock ’n’ roll closure.

For years, Ozzy’s health was a guessing game, a mix of real ailments and exaggerated tabloid fiction.

Now, it’s written in ink: the heart gave out, the arteries were clogged, and the long fight with Parkinson’s was part of the story.

Tributes began flooding in the moment the news broke.

Black Sabbath bandmates posted raw, unfiltered memories — Tony Iommi calling him “a brother in music and in madness,” Geezer Butler writing, “We started this thing together, and it’ll never be the same without you. ”

Sharon Osbourne, ever the steel spine behind his chaos, posted a simple black heart emoji and a photo of the two of them in their younger, leather-clad glory.

Fans left flowers, candles, and — in true Ozzy fashion — empty beer cans outside his home in Buckinghamshire.

The New York Times report that confirmed the death certificate’s details read like a final chapter in a book no one wanted to finish.

Aimee Osbourne, who kept her distance from the family’s infamous reality TV circus, was the one to file the paperwork.

It’s a quiet, almost poetic note — the daughter who stayed out of the limelight delivering the official word on the man whose life was anything but quiet.

It’s worth remembering that Ozzy didn’t just front one of the most influential heavy metal bands in history; he defined an entire genre’s image.

From “Paranoid” to “Crazy Train,” his voice became the soundtrack for rebellion, for late-night basement jam sessions, for the misfits and outcasts who felt like the world didn’t speak their language until Ozzy came along.

He was larger than life, often ridiculous, sometimes a mess, but always authentic in a way that made fans feel like he was theirs.

In the years after his Parkinson’s diagnosis, there was a strange, almost tender shift in how people saw him.

The reality TV dad, the shuffling but still hilarious figure on The Osbournes, the man who’d drop an f-bomb in the middle of a heartwarming family moment — he became oddly relatable.

The disease humanized the Prince of Darkness without dimming the legend.

And while his voice grew quieter, the myth only got louder.

The debate over whether Ozzy should have retired earlier will probably rage on forever.

Some say he should have stepped away when his body first started betraying him.

Others argue he had every right to keep trying until the very end, because being onstage was the only thing he ever really knew.

Whatever side you fall on, the fact remains: even in his final years, when he could barely stand, he still gave fans moments they’ll never forget.

Now, the legacy is sealed.

There will be tribute concerts, reissues, probably a Netflix documentary that tries to condense the insanity of his life into two bingeable episodes.

But nothing will ever quite capture the electric weirdness of Ozzy Osbourne — a man who could terrify your parents and make you cry laughing in the same breath.

The death certificate might list “cardiac arrest” as the cause, but fans will tell you it was something else entirely.

The world finally got too quiet for a man who thrived on noise.

July 22, 2025, will go down as the day the lights dimmed on one of rock’s most enduring flames.

The Prince of Darkness has taken his final bow, and somewhere in the great beyond, you can bet he’s already causing trouble — maybe convincing the afterlife’s house band to play “Iron Man” a little louder, maybe teaching the angels how to throw a proper devil horns salute.

After all, if there’s one thing we know about Ozzy Osbourne, it’s that he never stayed quiet for long.
