I just can’t believe it! My dear dear friend Ozzy has passed away only weeks after our show at Villa Park.
It’s just such heartbreaking news that I can’t really find the words, there won’t ever be another like him. Geezer, Bill and myself have lost our brother.
My thoughts go… pic.twitter.com/tW9OMhvL47— Tony Iommi (@tonyiommi) July 22, 2025

Whether we were in our basements with our brothers, in the woods with our buddies, in the car, at a keg party, on a boat, at football practice, at a sleepover….Nobody was more badass to crank up on our speakers than the one and only prince of darkness – Ozzy Osborne! Loved him a… pic.twitter.com/wc7QSQ52uT

Goodbye dear friend – thanks for all those years – we had some great fun. 4 kids from Aston- who’d have thought, eh?
So glad we got to do it one last time, back in Aston.
Love you. pic.twitter.com/j1ZC5TEnvj

Sad to hear Ozzy died today. When I was in high school I discovered Sabbath. “War Pigs” was terrifying and mesmerizing at the same time. It was Ozzy’s voice that took me away to a dark universe. A great escape. Then when The ‘Blizzard of Ozz’ record came out I was instantly a… pic.twitter.com/2n3HBHHkcN

"Kinda lost for words here… we toured with Ozzy in 81 & he, the band & Sharon were SO supportive. He always had time for a chat, took us under his wing & showed us how & how not to party… & played us the 2nd album months before it came out… pic.twitter.com/jg2u6haJte

We have lost a legend. From Sabbath to Blizzard and onward Ozzy has impacted countless bands and that will not end. KISS was humbled to be an opening band for Sabbath in the mid 70’s. Through decades I’ve known him, Ozzy has always been a kind and very funny soul. Fly high now. pic.twitter.com/iyO0Juz7dL

The loss we feel today is immeasurable. Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath created heavy metal…and with it, they created a world in which generations of people could feel accepted and welcome…safe and free to be their authentic selves knowing that they won’t ever be alone. Ozzy… pic.twitter.com/0zGgDIfTYO

@OzzyOsbourne was and will always be a one of a kind true rock legend. For him to have been that close to death on July 5 and still get up there and perform like he promised… Wow! That puts him in a category of his own. Talk about commitment and loyalty to your fans. Nobody's… pic.twitter.com/Bn4X0d4MX6

Don Felder:
“You’ve asked for more about my locker of guitars I have. This is one of them! It doesn’t include my four complete rigs of show equipment. That’s in a separate locker elsewhere. For every piece of gear in this locker it’s assigned a number based on WHAT it is. Then I have a spreadsheet using that numbering system with the make/model, serial numbers, descriptions, and photographs! If something goes missing- I will know! Not to mention it makes it easy for myself, or if one of my techs goes in to pick something up for me, to grab exactly what I need with ease.”
