The music world is mourning the loss of one of its most legendary voices. Ozzy Osbourne, the iconic frontman of Black Sabbath and a pioneer of heavy metal, passed away on July 22, 2025, at the age of 76. In the days following his death, heartfelt tributes from his longtime bandmates — Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward — have poured in, each expressing their profound sorrow and admiration for the man they called both a bandmate and a brother.

Tony Iommi: “There won’t ever be another like him”

Tony Iommi, Black Sabbath’s lead guitarist and founding member, took to Instagram to share a powerful tribute to his friend. Posting a black-and-white photo of Ozzy from their early years, Iommi wrote:

“I just can’t believe it! My dear dear friend Ozzy has passed away only weeks after our show at Villa Park. It’s just such heartbreaking news that I can’t really find the words. There won’t ever be another like him. Geezer, Bill and myself have lost our brother.”

Iommi concluded his message by sending thoughts to Sharon Osbourne and the entire Osbourne family, writing, “Rest in peace

Geezer Butler: “So glad we got to do it one last time”

Bassist Geezer Butler also shared a tribute filled with nostalgia and warmth. Accompanying a photo of Ozzy onstage with his signature dramatic presence, Butler wrote:

“Goodbye dear friend — thanks for all those years. We had some great fun. Four kids from Aston — who’d have thought, eh? So glad we got to do it one last time, back in Aston. Love you.”

Bill Ward: “You’re forever in my heart”

Drummer Bill Ward, who shared some of the most formative years of rock history with Ozzy, posted a touching tribute along with a vintage photo of the two in their youth:

“Where will I find you now? In the memories, our unspoken embraces, our missed phone calls — no, you’re forever in my heart. Deepest condolences to Sharon and all family members. RIP. Sincere regrets to all the fans. Never goodbye. Thank you forever.”

His words echo the emotional weight that Ozzy’s passing has left on both his bandmates and his fans.https:

A Legacy That Shaped Rock Forever

Ozzy Osbourne was more than just a singer. With a career spanning more than five decades, he redefined rock and metal music with his distinct voice, theatrical stage presence, and unapologetic persona. Alongside Iommi, Butler, and Ward, he co-founded Black Sabbath in Birmingham in 1968, laying the foundation for heavy metal as we know it.

From timeless albums like Paranoid, Master of Reality, and Black Sabbath, to his solo hits like Crazy Train and Mama, I’m Coming Home, Ozzy’s influence on music is immeasurable.

His loss is deeply felt by millions of fans, fellow musicians, and especially those who stood beside him from the very beginning.
