Ozzy Statue Unveiled at Hellfest

A towering six-meter Ozzy Osbourne statue has debuted at Hellfest in France, honoring the legendary metal icon just months after his passing. Sharon Osbourne, unable to attend in person due to a hospital visit, praised the tribute and thanked organizers and artist Philippe Pasqua. Hellfest has a history of honoring metal legends, most recently upgrading Lemmy Kilmister’s statue. Ozzy died July 22, 2025, from a heart attack amid underlying health issues. His private funeral drew 110 close friends and family, including Black Sabbath bandmates, while thousands gathered publicly in Birmingham for a heartfelt farewell. Just eleven months prior, Ozzy delivered a moving final performance in Birmingham, seated on a throne, reuniting with his original Sabbath bandmates and thanking fans with raw emotion.
