WWE Hall of Famer and legendary musician Ozzy Osbourne has sadly passed away today. Osbourne was 76 years old at the time of his passing.

Ozzy was the lead singer of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, and they had their final performance on July 5 at Villa Park in Aston, Birmingham, England. He also hosted a popular reality TV series, The Osbournes, alongside his wife, Sharon, and their children.

According to TMZ, the Osbourne family released a statement sharing that he died surrounded by love, but the cause of death remains unknown.
