The world is mourning the loss of a rock legend, as Ozzy Osbourne leaves behind a legacy of music, mayhem, and madness. The Prince of Darkness passed away at the age of 76, just three weeks after reuniting with his Black Sabbath bandmates for a farewell show in Birmingham.

But before we bid farewell to this larger-than-life figure, let's take a trip down memory lane and revisit some of Ozzy's most unforgettable moments – including his infamous appearance on The Graham Norton Show in 2009. It was an evening that would leave audiences in stitches, as the rock icon, alongside wife Sharon, sampled Olivia Newton-John's new health drink, Zamu.

Devastated fans across the world have paid tribute to the legendary singer following his death aged 76 on July 21

As the couple sipped their milky brown concoction, Ozzy couldn't resist poking fun at the celebrity-endorsed elixir. With a cheeky grin, he declared it "a load of b**locks" – prompting audible gasps from Sharon and the studio audience. The drama didn't end there; Newton-John herself asked Sharon to repeat what her husband had said, only for her to respond with a knowing smile: "You don't want to know."

But Ozzy's antics didn't stop there. He went on to regale the audience with tales of his hard-partying days, including the time he failed his driving test more than 60 times due to being "too p**sed." The rockstar's candor was as sharp as ever, leaving viewers in awe of his unapologetic honesty.

And then, there were the stories of Ozzy's hellraising escapades. He regaled the audience with tales of a drunken arrest in Memphis, where he woke up to find himself in a police cell after getting arrested for, well, let's just say "unsuspecting" behavior. It was just one of many wild and woolly anecdotes that left viewers laughing and shaking their heads.

Ozzy Osbourne's life was never short on drama, but it was his resilience and adaptability that allowed him to thrive despite countless health problems and controversies that would have felled a lesser mortal. As he reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates for the farewell show in Birmingham, Ozzy delivered an emotional farewell speech, thanking fans from the bottom of his heart.

It was a fitting tribute to a life well-lived – a life that will forever be remembered as one of rock 'n' roll's most iconic and enduring figures. Rest in peace, Ozzy Osbourne – your legend will live on forever.

Ozzy's Family Pays Tribute

In a statement, Ozzy's family confirmed his passing, saying: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time."

The rocker's final performance was a poignant reminder of his impact on the music world, as he reunited with his original Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward for the first time since 2005.

As fans around the world mourn the loss of this rock legend, one thing is certain – Ozzy Osbourne's legacy will live on forever.
