Ozzy Osbourne died on July 22 aged 76, leaving behind a legacy that goes far beyond his groundbreaking music. While the Black Sabbath frontman was hailed as a pioneer of heavy metal, he also became an unlikely reality TV icon thanks to The Osbournes, the hit MTV show that brought his chaotic family life into homes around the world.
Running from 2002 to 2005, the series made household names of his wife Sharon, 72, and two of their children Kelly, 40, and Jack, 39, with Ozzy often the baffled centre of the madness. From Sharon throwing a baked ham over the neighbour's fence (after comparing it to his wife's genitals), to Ozzy hilariously not knowing how to answer his phone, the show redefined celebrity TV and turned everyday family spats into must-watch moments.
Following news of his death, fans have flooded social media with tributes not only to Ozzy's music career but to the unforgettable scenes from the show that cemented his status as a pop culture legend.
