The Prince of Darkness is in heaven!

Back when Sabbath hit the scene in the 60s people thought they were devil worshippers, but they made anti-war songs, like War Pigs, and songs about how much they love smoking weed.

People concentrated more on the sound of the band rather than the lyrics.

As a Black Sabbath fan I'm finding it hard to believe he's now gone, especially considering it's just under three weeks since the band performed at Villa Park.

everyone knew his time was coming. What is amazing is that he made it this long.

I think people from now on will look back and think "What an ending to his life. He managed to perform one last concert with the band in front of thousands of fans just before he went."

Alice Cooper, Pantera, Megadeth, Lady Gaga, Queen guitarist Brian May and Ozzy's friend Elton John pay tribute to the Prince of Darkness and the Godfather of Heavy Metal.

Amongst other tributes, Texan band Pantera played Black Sabbath's 1970 song "Planet Caravan" and Lady Gaga performed Ozzy's 1980 solo hit "Crazy Train."

The people of Britain's second-biggest city Birmingham pay tribute to their hometown legend Ozzy Osbourne by leaving flowers on Black Sabbath Bridge and at the city's famous Bullring.

It's like Great Britain has gone into her deepest sense of mourning since the death of Queen Elizabeth II...
