Legendary heavy metal rocker\u00a0Ozzy Osbourne<\/span>\u2018s cause of death has been revealed after he died last month at the age of 76.<\/p>\n

The Black Sabbath frontman, who was diagnosed with Parkinson\u2019s disease in 2019, passed away on July 22 surrounded by his family.<\/p>\n

According to his death certificate, the singer died from an \u2018acute myocardial infarction\u2019 and \u2018out of hospital cardiac arrest\u2019.<\/p>\n

Ozzy was laid to rest on the grounds of his own mansion in Buckinghamshire last week during a private funeral attended by his family and a host of rock royalty.<\/p>\n

His widow Sharon, 72, and their children were joined by stars including\u00a0Marilyn Manson<\/span>\u00a0and Ozzy\u2019s lead guitarist Zakk Wylde during the\u00a0event at the family\u2019s 250-acre estate near Gerrards Cross.<\/p>\n

His passing came just weeks after he appeared on\u00a0stage for his farewell concert at Villa Park stadium\u00a0in his native\u00a0Birmingham<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The concert \u2013 three weeks before his death \u2013 saw him reunite\u00a0with his original Black Sabbath bandmates for the first time since 2005.<\/p>\n

More than 42,000 fans packed into the venue for the Back To The Beginning show, during which he\u00a0told the crowd in his final speech: \u2018You\u2019ve no idea how I feel \u2013 thank you from the bottom of my heart.\u2019<\/p>\n

Official documents listed three causes of death for the rock legend.\u00a0This included an out of hospital cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction and coronary artery disease and Parkinson\u2019s disease with autonomic dysfunction.<\/p>\n

In a statement shared last month, Ozzy\u2019s family\u00a0said he died \u2018surrounded by love\u2019<\/span>, adding:\u00a0\u2018It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning.\u2019<\/p>\n

He is survived by his wife Sharon and his five children Jessica, Louis, Aimee, Kelly and Jack.<\/p>\n

Since his death, tributes have been pouring in from fans and friends around the world with thousands visiting the Black Sabbath Bench in the musician\u2019s home city of Birmingham to lay bouquets, wreaths, posters, balloons, candles and cards.<\/p>\n

The Osbourne family visited the bench in Broad Street last Wednesday to lay their own flowers during a cortege procession.<\/p>\n

Kelly, 40, who starred in the 2000s reality series The Osbournes, shared a post on her Instagram story on Monday thanking fans for their support.<\/p>\n

She said: \u2018I\u2019ve sat down to write this a hundred times and still don\u2019t know if the words will ever feel like enough\u2026 but from the bottom of my heart, thank you.<\/p>\n

\u2018The love, support, and beautiful messages I\u2019ve received from so many of you have truly helped carry me through the hardest moment of my life. Every kind word, every shared memory, every bit of compassion has meant more than I can ever explain.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Birmingham City Council began gathering up the tributes so they can be stored before being handed over to the Osbourne family.<\/p>\n

A handful of fans watched from behind barriers, took photographs and hugged each other as officials in hi-vis jackets collected all the flowers and tributes which had been laid in front of the bench and on the railings behind it.<\/p>\n

The council said the mementos would be gathered and preserved \u2018respectfully\u2019 in agreement with the rock star\u2019s relatives and then stored \u2018with the utmost care at a secure location, ensuring they are protected and treated with dignity\u2019.<\/p>\n

The council said: \u2018In due course, they will be passed on to the Osbourne family, so they may keep them as a lasting reminder of the public\u2019s affection and support.\u2019<\/p>\n

In a statement released through the city council, the Osbourne family said: \u2018We are deeply moved by the heartfelt tributes that have been placed at the Black Sabbath Bridge and at the Black Sabbath mural on Navigation Street in recent days.<\/p>\n

\u2018These expressions of remembrance reflect the profound impact that Ozzy had on the city and its people, as well as fans from around the world \u2013 BIRMINGHAM FOREVER!\u2019<\/p>\n

Ozzy was born John Michael Osbourne in Birmingham in 1948, and dropped out of school at the age of 15.<\/p>\n

After serving two months in prison for burglary, he decided to pursue his love of music.<\/p>\n

By 1970, Black Sabbath \u2013 originally going by the name of Earth \u2013 had gained a huge following in the US and UK with the release of their first album.<\/p>\n

Ozzy quit the band in 1978 and four years later divorced his first wife Thelma Mayfair, with whom he had two children, amid his ongoing substance abuse problems.<\/p>\n

He went on to marry second wife Sharon, who helped him transform into a successful solo artist and the couple had three children together.<\/p>\n

Ozzy gained a whole new audience of fans with the family\u2019s reality TV show The Osbournes in 2001.<\/p>\n

He and his wife, Sharon Osbourne, bought their 250-acre estate, known as Welders House in 1993.<\/p>\n

According to the insider, it was a place they often \u2018escaped\u2019 to when they needed a break from fame during the height of his career.<\/p>\n

Ozzy announced that he planned moved back to Welders House permanently in 2022 after years of spending most of his time living in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

At the time, he had the home revamped, adding bat boxes, as well as a \u2018rehabilitation wing\u2019 following his Parkinson\u2019s disease diagnosis in 2020.<\/p>\n

But his battle with Parkinson\u2019s and a crippling fall that exacerbated his old quad bike injury are thought to have delayed his return to the UK.<\/p>\n

Kelly spoke about how well Ozzy was doing\u00a0in a poignant last interview<\/span>\u00a0just two weeks before he died.<\/p>\n

Just two days before she got engaged to\u00a0Sid Wilson at Ozzy\u2019s final performance with his band in Villa Park,\u00a0Birmingham<\/span>, Kelly said her father was feeling \u2018amazing\u2019.<\/p>\n

She said: \u2018My dad is amazing! He\u2019s so excited for his final show on Saturday.\u00a0There is all the nerves and all the excitement.<\/p>\n

\u2018He\u2019s sailing through everything, and the rehearsals have been incredible. It\u2019s all about him. It\u2019s going to be a very emotional moment.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
