Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi posted a statement reacting to the death of his bandmate Ozzy Osbourne.
Iommi wrote “I just can’t believe it! My dear dear friend Ozzy has passed away only weeks after our show at Villa Park.”
He added “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.”
Iommi closed by adding “My thoughts go out to Sharon and all the Osbourne family. Rest in peace Oz.”
Osbourne’s death at the age of 76 comes less than three weeks after he joined the rest of Black Sabbath at the ‘Back To The Beginning’ farewell show in their hometown of Birmingham, England.
