Following the death of legendary musician Ozzy Osbourne, speculation has surfaced online suggesting he may have travelled to Switzerland to undergo assisted end-of-life care.
The theory, which has gained traction on social media, remains unconfirmed, but it stems from remarks made by Sharon Osbourne in 2023 during The Osbournes podcast. At the time, she shared that both she and Ozzy had discussed turning to euthanasia should either face unbearable suffering from illness.
Their preferred option, she noted, was the Dignitas clinic in Switzerland. This mention has led some to wonder whether the Black Sabbath frontman made the journey before his death. However, his daughter Kelly Osbourne has publicly denied the claim, stating that her father neither requested nor pursued euthanasia.
No official cause of death has been disclosed. The Osbourne family confirmed only that Ozzy, aged 76, died peacefully and was surrounded by love. In recent years, he had battled multiple health challenges, including Parkinson’s disease, complications from neck injuries, and a COVID-19 infection.
Ozzy Osbourne was a pioneer of heavy metal and sold more than 100 million records during his career. From founding Black Sabbath to launching a solo career and becoming a reality TV icon, his influence reached far beyond music. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and honoured with multiple awards.
While the details surrounding his death remain private, Ozzy’s legacy continues to be celebrated around the world.
