Zakk Wylde's Heartfelt Response to Ozzy Osbourne Retirement

Ozzy owes us nothing! What an incredible body of work left to us all! Thank you! 🤘

Seeing your heros succumb to time is so hard.

Ozzy has graced us with his presence for longer than any of us could ever hope for. He deserves a rest. Take care of yourself, Ozzy. We love you and thank you!

Ozzy has earned his retirement, and I applaud his years of serving the metal community!!! God Bless Oz🤙🇺🇸🙏

Good luck to Ozzy! One of the grandfathers of metal!

Legends never die! Whatever happens!

A well-deserved rest. No matter what Ozzy is and always will be a legend. I never got the chance to see him but I’m still grateful to be alive at the same time as him. ❤❤

Saw him several times through the years. He never failed to energize and fire me up. He commanded a crowd with his antics. A Showman in the very best sense of the word 👏 👌 🙌 ✨️.

We are coming to the end of an era! I fear that the greatness of artists like Ozzy will never be matched again in this style of music.

Think about how long ago ozzy was snorting lines of ants off of the sidewalk…and he’s STILL here after all these decades. Guy is tough as nails and he deserves a touring retirement. He’s been going longer and harder than many other of his contemporaries. Ozzy’s retirement is well earned and deserved

Every time I hear a song from Ozzy, it’s always like hearing a voice from an old friend. That says it all. A legend!

I saw him twice in 1988 once while 7 months pregnant, wasn't going to miss him!! Thanks for years of greatness

I am so lucky and blessed to have seen him live. I'll never forget it.

I feel that Ozzy's lyrics are the most important and relevant in ALL music 🎼. The first to bring spirituality into relevance, first to warn of very serious dangers in life, first to bring the beauty and joy of life to others who might not have seen it otherwise.I came AWFUL close to attending your concerts, Ozzy.Including the one scheduled in Florida before the plane crash that crushed us all, leaving me with a ticket and a saddened spirit.God bless you, you've been a constant inspiration in my life,Thanx so much 🎶🙏😈😇😁🌬️♥️

OZZY. It is time to think of yourself and enjoy the time that you have. Take care Ozzy and thank you for the music.

Thank you for the Crazy Train ride throughout the years. We will always have your music. We are grateful for the years you dedicated to us. Take care of yourself now, it is your time. We will always be behind you. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Ozzy has had an incredible career. He's the best. So glad I got to see him twice. Wishing him good health and happiness. God bless you, Ozzy Osbourne! Be well, my man!

So glad I got to see him before he retired ! My God he was AMAZING ! Love Ya Ozzy ! 💞🤟🏻❤️🤟🏻💞

OZZY you are and always will be the MAN....I screamed out "we LoveYou Ozzie" during a concert in the Scream Tour in Mpls Mn. ....You replied "I fuckin luv u too men" this is something Ill always hold in my heart long after Im gone. We'll always let the Madmess begin for you.

Thanks for the news man!
