Ozzy Osbourne, musician, occasional provocateur and Gen-X's metal-dad, has passed at 76.
Osbourne has been ailing for years, and only a few weeks ago played his final show, which was widely watched and discussed. The line-up was full of star power, and the concert was scheduled to be Osbourne's final show before retreating from the public.
Osbourne's work with Black Sabbath and as a solo artist was enough to make him a major figure in rock, but he also was prone to outlandish antics, all of which will be rehashed over the next few days. And, then, he and his family were early Reality TV pioneers with The Osbournes on MTV. which recast the prince of darkness as a fun, befuddled dad.
But, man, Ozzy could sing. Everyone else is still playing catch up.
You'll be missed, Ozzy.
