Elton John and the members of Black Sabbath were among the celebrities and music industry figures who paid tribute to Ozzy Osbourne after the rock icon died Tuesday at the age of 76. “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,” the singer’s family announced in a statement that was shared on Osbourne’s Instagram page. The legendary singer, who reunited with his former Black Sabbath bandmates Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward for his farewell show earlier this month, is survived by wife Sharon, daughters Kelly and Aimee, and son Jack, in addition to daughter Jessica, and sons Elliot and Louis from his first marriage to Thelma Riley.
