As the world continues to mourn the loss of Ozzy Osbourne, the Prince of Darkness, those who knew him best — his bandmates, closest friends, and fellow rock legends — are speaking out with powerful words of love, grief, and reverence. Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath called him “a brother in chaos and soul,” while Geezer Butler simply wrote: “No one lived louder. No one loved deeper.” But it was one anonymous message, left at the gates of Ozzy’s estate, that’s now going viral: “You didn’t just change music. You changed the misfits. You made us proud to be strange.” Who wrote it? And why is it signed only with a lightning bolt symbol? One final mystery… for a man who made mystery an art. Ozzy may be gone — but the echoes of his legacy are louder than ever.

Today, July 22, Ozzy Osbourne passed at the age of 76. The rock star and the front man of Black Sabbath performed his farewell show on July 5. Friends and family surrounded him during his final performance.

During the show, he said through teary eyes, “You’ve got no idea how I feel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

His family announced his death, saying that he was “with his family and surrounded by love” during his final moments.

Throughout his career, Osbourne made a lasting impact on the music industry, but his impact was also felt by his friends, family, and bandmates.

Actor Danny Trejo posted, saying, “rest in power, Ozzy,” sharing that he believed Ozzy was one of the “wildest souls to ever walk” the earth. Even though Ozzy was known as “Prince of Darkness,” Danny said he was “pure light.”
