The Prince of Darkness' final post before his death was well received with teeming fans who dropped tributes in their thousands, thanking him for a music life well lived.

Black Sabbath's leading man, Ozzy Osbourne, dies just two weeks after he gave an exhilarating final performance in his hometown of Birmingham.

The singer's official page, on Monday, July 21, 2025, uploaded a post featuring a "Back to the Beginning" poster in what appears to be a changing room. The poster bore images of him alongside his Black Sabbath band members, namely Geezer Butler, Tony Lommi, and Bill Ward.

When news of his passing broke, thousands of fans rushed to this very significant last post to leave their final tributes and share some of their fondest memories growing up with Ozzy's music.

"This news hurts me deeply as if you were a family member. As an artistyou were also an inspiration in my drawings, in Skate even in my darkest moments…THANK YOU Ozzy Rest In Power Forever," this commenter noted in the comments.

Another Instagram user thanked the singer for sharing his precious gift with the world, adding, "Fly high, Ozzy Prince of Darkness. You'll always be here."

"Rest in peace Ozzy. You've brought so many generations joy. Thank you for everything," a third fan declared. According to this commenter, "15 days ago, Ozzy sang Mama I'mcoming Home, and now he did. Rest in peace."

More fans thanked him for summoning the strength to give the world one final electric show before departing to rest for eternity. Indeed, all loved Ozzy; so far, his last post, before his death, has garnered over 120,000 likes and more than 21,000 comments.

In their Instagram statement uploaded about an hour ago, the family of the singer confirmed to his 7 million fans that he passed away early hours of today, July 22. The post featured a picture of the metal music icon flashing the biggest smile at his fans during a performance. 

"It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love," the family announced.

They urged the fans to respect the family’s privacy at this sensitive period. The Instagram post was duly signed by his wife, Sharon Osbourne, and kids Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and Louis Osbourne.

The statement was earlier sent to TMZ, although the news outlet confirmed that Ozzy’s cause of death remains unclear.

Ozzy's fans not only loved him, but they also kept his bank account flowing with revenue from non-stop streaming of his music. As of July 19, 2025, 10 of his tracks emerged on Spotify's top-played songs from the rocker's solo catalogue.

"Crazy Train" emerged top of the list with close to 800 million streams on Spotify, followed by "Take What You Want" (feat. Travis Scott), amassing around 709 million streams.

His hit track, "Mama, I'm Coming Home," which he performed in Birmingham and now resonates with his fans, ranks fourth with approximately 230 million total streams.

"Under the Graveyard" comes in tenth place on his top ten most-streamed tracks with roughly 64 million streams. Ozzy Osbourne passed away at the age of 76, having a music career spanning over 50 years and 13 studio albums, seven of which received multi-platinum certifications in the United States.

Ozzy's final homecoming performance was so heartwarming that his daughter, Kelly, decided to put the icing on the cake with a surprise proposal announcement. As shared by The Blast, Kelly's partner and Slipknot DJ, Sid Wilson, went down on one knee to pop the big question backstage.

The former E! star could not wait to inform her fans about her upgraded status from girlfriend to fiancée, partly writing, "Oh, and this happened yesterday!" Kelly's clip showed Wilson proposing in a room filled with family and friends.

The DJ expressed that spending the rest of his life with the 40-year-old would be the highlight of his life, and a very elated Kelly nodded yes to the question, embracing Wilson.

The boy group singer had the pleasure of spending the last concert of his career, and what would be the last performance of his life, with 40,000 fans in his hometown.

The Prince of Darkness, as he is fondly called, was beyond grateful to share that moment with his fans despite his protracted battle with Parkinson's disease.

For his wife, Sharon, who has also managed him since his solo career began in 1979, the concert marked the end of a life of touring and stage stunts filled with electric performances.

She shared that organizing the show was her idea, following Ozzy's expression of regret for letting his illness get in the way of a proper thank-you tour in 2018. His July 7 show was the perfect culmination of his 50+ years of stage performances and over 100 million album sales.

"I've been doing this since I was 15, and I'm done. We just want to live our life and do what we want to do and not have to follow an itinerary anymore," she noted.

May the legendary Ozzy Osbourne's soul rest in perfect peace!
