The cause of death for heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne has been revealed. The Black Sabbath founding member passed away on July 22nd at the age of 76, and a new report by the New York Times states that Osbourne passed from a heart attack.

The singer’s death certificate also lists coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease as contributing factors in his passing. Osbourne passed away just weeks after he performed at his retirement show in Birmingham, England that included a Black Sabbath reunion and a lineup that included Metallica, Guns n’ Roses, and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler.

Osbourne’s death certificate was filed in London. The metal icon was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice — once as a part of Black Sabbath in 2006 and again as a solo artist in 2024. He was also inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame’s celebrity wing in 2021.
