Thank you for all the iconic tunes over the years & opening the doors for so many artists to develop the metal genre… RIP Ozzy xx

Ozzy Osbourne has died at the age of 76, according to a statement from his family.

The BBC reports that the Prince Of Darkness, who helped to pioneer heavy metal with his work in Black Sabbath, passed away this morning (July 22). No cause of death has been given.

The Osbournes say in a statement: “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. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”

Osbourne’s death come mere weeks after he played his retirement show: an all-day extravaganza called Back To The Beginning, held at Villa Park in his hometown of Birmingham on July 5. The concert saw the singer play both a four-song solo set and a five-song set with the other founding members of Black Sabbath: guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward.

The bill at Back To The Beginning was rounded out by such rock and metal superstar as Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Anthrax and Slayer. All proceeds from the event are going to various Birmingham charities and a concert film is coming out in cinemas next year.

Osbourne co-founded Black Sabbath in 1968 and made eight albums with the group before splitting from them in 1979. He then launched a successful solo career, which kicked off with the 1980 album Blizzard Of Ozz. Osbourne returned to Sabbath from 1997 to 2006 and again from 2011 to 2017.

Osbourne is survived by his wife/manager Sharon, whom he married in 1982, and six children.

Some things in this world are right fu***ng s**t.
You know what isn't though? The Rigger Venue

It's given so many of us a safe space to be ourselves and enjoy it without judgement. Given a stage to hundreds of bands over the years and built up the community.

But it's in ACTUAL danger of closing without your help.

Even just £1 from every person that has ever stepped foot inside the venue in the past year.
Literally every single penny helps. If everyone who likes/follows their socials donated just £1, we have a fighting chance; £1:50 and we will make it over the line.

If you don't have £1 spare.... please share the link, tell everyone that were still open, come join us for gigs, bring your friends to club nights, interact with the posts we put up to help engagement.

We need to support grassroots venues, we need to support live music, we need to support the community that has helped so many of us find light in the darkness. Venues like this up & down the country are the foundations of the UK music scene & this one- The Rigger Venue- is at serious risk of closure. Please don’t let one of the few places I've ever thrived and felt safe, close its doors for good.

This is undoubtedly the spiritual home of me, Dj Andyman & I could not be prouder/honoured to have worked there for so many years, having some of THE best nights of my life partying with so many. I don’t want that to end.

Thanks for reading…
