As you’d expect, heartfelt tributes to the late self-styled “Price of Darkness” flooded in on my social feeds. My Facebook feed (I’m Gen X, so yes, I still use Facebook, sorry) was full of tributes, but one in particular I found a bit unnerving and off-color...

Rock icon Ozzy Osbourne has died at 76, with tributes pouring in from Elton John, Black Sabbath bandmates and other celebrities following his final reunion performance in early July.

‘Unflinching, brutally honest, but surprisingly life-affirming, Last Rites demonstrates once again why Ozzy has transcended his status as The Godfather of Metal and The Prince of Darkness to become a modern-day folk hero and national treasure.’

Fans pay tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, the lead singer of the pioneering rock band Black Sabbath on both sides of the Atlantic. Osbourne died on July 22 at age 76.
