Ozzy Osbourne (76) Has Passed Away: You Know The Iconic Singer From These Films
The legendary singer's unique voice and infectious laughter resonated through cinema screens, touching the hearts of many.
Ozzy Osbourne, also known as the legendary 'Prince of Darkness', 'Godfather of Metal' and the iconic frontman of Black Sabbath, has passed away today at the age of 76.
"With more sadness than words can express, we must announce that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne passed away this morning. He was surrounded by family and love," said a statement from his family.
The sad news comes less than three weeks after 'Back to the Beginning', Ozzy and Black Sabbath's farewell concert in the singer's hometown of Birmingham. But the artist was more than just his music.
Osbourne showcased his iconic voice, not only in music, but also in charitable endeavors, and as a family man, notably in the reality show The Osbournes, and sometimes literally as a voice actor in films.
He lent his voice in 2001 for Moulin Rouge and later voiced Fawn in Gnomeo & Juliet and Sherlock Gnomes. In 2020, the artist voiced King Trash in Trolls World Tour and a year later, he voiced Good Boy in We Need to Do Something.
And not only did his recognizable voice and infectious laughter echo through cinemas, 'The Prince of Darkness' also graced the silver screen with his presence.
In 1986, Ozzy made a cameo in Trick or Treat as Reverend Aaron Gilstrom, a television evangelist battling the dangers of heavy metal, and in 1995, he played a band manager in The Jerky Boys: The Movie.
Following that, the artist played himself in several films, including Private Parts (1997), Little Nicky (2000), Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002), and Ghostbusters (2016), but also played a significant role in the lives of countless fans and his family.
