Heavy metal icon and gay rights supporter Ozzy Osbourne dies at 76
Legendary Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne has died at the age of 76.His tragic death comes just weeks after he took to the stage for a final performance with his band in Birmingham, The Sun reports.Not only was Osbourne known as the Prince of Darkness and for famously biting the head off of a bat while on stage (the singer mistook it for a rubber bat), but he has also been a staunch supporter of the LGBTQ+ community since the 80s.At the height of the AIDS Crisis, after his guitarist made homophobic remarks at a concert, Osbourne responded by donating money to AIDS Long Beach and other gay causes, the Los Angeles Times reported at the time.And in 2010, he released a statement saying he was disgusted by the homophobic Westboro Baptist Church using his music during one of their anti-LGBTQ+ protests."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, his family said in a statement released today. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.Osbourne was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019 and has had ongoing health problems in the years since.
