Ozzy Osbourne has died at the age of 76, just weeks after performing a huge farewell concert with Black Sabbath.

The Birmingham-born star became known as the godfather of heavy metal after finding fame with the band in the 1970s.

Later in his decades-spanning career, Osbourne earned himself a whole new generation of fans after showing his softer side on his family’s self-titled MTV reality show.
