Ozzy Osbourne, the pioneering heavy metal singer whose star turn on reality TV endeared him to a new generation of fans, has died, according to the Associated Press. He was 76 years old. The singer was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019, and said in an interview then with "Good Morning America" that it had been "terribly challenging."

Ozzy Osbourne, lead singer of the legendary rock group Black Sabbath who did more than maybe any other musician to help shape the dark, hard-partying image of the heavy metal genre — even once biting the head off a bat on stage — died Tuesday at the age of 76, his family announced.

A statement from his family says Osbourne was with his family and "surrounded by love" when he died this morning.
