Ozzy Osbourne, one of the most influential and recognisable figures in rock history, has sadly passed away at the age of 76, prompting a global outpouring of grief from fans and fellow artists alike.

Ozzy Osbourne, the gloomy, demon-invoking lead singer of the pioneering band Black Sabbath who became the throaty, growling voice — and drug-and-alcohol ravaged id — of heavy metal, died Tuesday, just weeks after his farewell show.
