Overview

• Morello, who helped curate the Villa Park farewell, said it “felt like he knew” the concert would be his last and noted Ozzy had been “frail for a while.”
• The Villa Park performance took place less than three weeks before Osbourne died on July 22 aged 76, according to family and contemporaneous reports.
• The BBC confirmed it pulled a planned one-off programme and will reschedule, saying it is respecting the Osbourne family’s wishes.
• Official documents list out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, and Parkinson’s disease with autonomic dysfunction as causes of death.
• A public cortege in Birmingham and a private burial on the family’s Buckinghamshire estate have taken place, with tributes from fans and fellow musicians.
