From the iconic "All Aboard!" opening of "Crazy Train" to his oft-meme'd "Sharon!" Ozzy Osbourne had one of the most recognizable screams in modern history.

The Grammy winning Prince of Darkness and legendary rocker has died just weeks after reuniting with Black Sabbath for a final show in England. He was 76.

According to reports from The Guardian and BBC, a family statement said Osbourne died, "surrounded by love" Tuesday morning.

"It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy has passed away this morning," the statement read. "He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time."

I just saw this as soon as I returned home from work.

And so soon after he did his final show with Black Sabbath......

Crazy he didn't get a chance at a long retirement, but that's how it goes.

Crazy he didn't get a chance at a long retirement, but that's how it goes.

He's lucky he lived as long as he did.

RIP Prince of Darkness, you're rocking up heaven and or hell.

RIP to the prince of darkness. This news absolutely was devastating to hear, I tried listening to See You on the Other Side but I can't right now. I'm just too upset. We'll definitely see you on the other side Ozzy! He's rocking out with Randy Rhoads right now I bet!
