Ozzy Osbourne died as a result of a heart attack, it has been revealed.

The Black Sabbath frontman died on July 22 at the age of 76, and a death certificate submitted in London by his daughter Aimee has now revealed the cause of death, as The New York Times reports. The certificate also confirmed that Osbourne had been living with both coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s – he first publicly revealed the latter diagnosis in 2020.

Osbourne died just weeks after what was billed as his final concert at Villa Park in Birmingham, where Sabbath and Ozzy solo were joined by the likes of Anthrax, Slayer and Mastodon to celebrate the life and influence of both band and singer. The concert raised a staggering £140 million for charities including the Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Cure Parkinson’s. Osbourne was diagnosed with the disease in 2003.
