Well, I don't know about the 'P' (peace) part of R.I.P. since he was 
probably wishing to go to the very hot place.

It's a surprise he didn't die years ago given his decades of bozzing 
and drugging, which partly caused his more recent health issues.


    Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath frontman and icon
    of British heavy metal, dies aged 76
    ----------------------------------------------
    The singer, who later became famous on reality TV show
    The Osbournes, dies less than three weeks after
    retirement concert

    Ozzy Osbourne, whose gleeful "Prince of Darkness" image
    made him one of the most iconic rock frontmen of all
    time, has died aged 76.

    A statement from the Osbourne family reads: "It is with
    more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to
    report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away
    this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by
    love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at
    this time." No cause of death was given, though Osbourne
    had experienced various forms of ill health in recent
    years.

    Osbourne was one of the most notorious figures in rock:
    an innovator whose eerie wail helped usher in heavy metal,
    a showman who once bit the head off a bat on stage, an
    addict whose substance abuse led him to attempt to murder
    his wife, and latterly, a reality TV star much loved for
    his bemusement at family life on The Osbournes.
