His impact was monumental, his story was like no another and he meant so much to many of us growing up to his music. Outside of hip hop, before I even knew what the genre was, he was one of my musical idols. Blizzard of Oz and Diary of a Mad Man blew my young mind. Later finding his work in Black Sabbath cemented him as one of my favorite artists ever. The legend that he is, he blessed us with one last performance before saying good bye and people will now realize how special that was. He’s gone but will never be forgotten. Long live the spirit of Ozzy.

OZZY RIP
It’s impossible to put into words what Ozzy Osbourne has meant to Metallica. Hero, icon, pioneer, inspiration, mentor, and most of all, friend are a few that come to mind. Ozzy and Sharon believed in us and transformed our lives and careers. He taught us how to play in the big leagues while at the same time being warm, welcoming, engaging, and all around brilliant.
We are heartbroken and devastated by this loss and send our love and condolences to Sharon and their family, bandmates, and his very large circle of friends. He left an incredible legacy and will be sorely missed.
Metallica
Farewell Ozzy … what a journey … sail on up there .. finally at peace .. you truly changed the planet of rock!
Robert Plant
Going home tomorrow, made this in honor
