Jack White, Metallica, Rob Zombie, Elton John and more paid tribute to Ozzy Osbourne after the Black Sabbath frontman died at 76 on Tuesday morning. Osbourne had been recovering from several spinal surgeries as well as his ongoing battle with Parkinson’s disease.

"He was and will continue to be a rock n roll legend," Cooper said in a statement, hours after Osbourne died on Tuesday.

Black Sabbath "have lost our brother", says band's co-founder, weeks after farewell gig in their home city Birmingham.

The heavy metal icon has died at 76 after years of health struggles. His last show was just a few weeks ago and featured a special reunion for fans.
