The pioneering heavy metal singer who rose to prominence in the early 1970s with Black Sabbath, who established a successful solo career and who became an unlikely MTV reality star in the early 2000s, died this morning, his family announced. Osbourne's death comes weeks after he played his final show in Birmingham, England earlier this month joined by star-studded roster including Metallica, Guns n’ Roses and Steven Tyler among others. "Although Mr. Osbourne styled himself as a menacing banshee, offstage he was a genial homebody. Devoted fans had known this at least since 1988, when the Penelope Spheeris documentary The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years featured a gregarious Mr. Osbourne making scrambled eggs while wearing a leopard-print kimono," Gavin Edwards writes in Osbourne's New York Times obituary. "The rest of the world discovered that side of his personality in 2002, when the TV series The Osbournes began, showing the loving (but often beeped for profanity) home life of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne and their teenage children Jack and Kelly. (Another daughter, Aimee, chose to stay away from the cameras.) Although he periodically complained that he was supposed to be the Prince of Darkness, the show, which lasted until 2005, featured him befuddled by TV remote controls, house cats and bubble machines. It was the most popular show MTV had ever aired and inspired dozens of celebrities to allow cameras into their homes, hoping for the same quantum leap in their fame." The Osbournes aired for four seasons and 52 episodes, from 2002 to 2005. In 2022, the BBC announced that cameras would follow the Osbourne family in their move back to England for the reality show Home to Roost. That show has yet to air.
