“We are deeply saddened by the loss of the one and only Ozzy Osbourne, one of rock’s greatest singers, songwriters, and showmen. As a founding member of Black Sabbath, Ozzy was an irrepressible frontman who created in his own brilliant, unpredictable way the very language of heavy metal – occult imagery, sardonic humor, violent daydreaming, surprising romanticism, and at its heart, a body of work that has moved and inspired generations of fans and artists for the past seven decades. Ozzy served as vocalist and lyricist on the band’s groundbreaking first eight albums, all of which were released in America by Warner Records, and Rhino has long had the privilege of curating the band’s enormously influential catalogue. We offer our most heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, fellow musicians, and millions of fans around the world.”
