The grassroots campaign to establish an official Ozzy Osbourne Day has reached a major milestone, surpassing 25,000 signatures on its Change.org petition. The growing movement reflects worldwide support for honoring Ozzy Osbourne’s unparalleled impact on music, culture, and the global heavy metal community.
Adding to the petition’s momentum, Kelly Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne, along with Rudy Sarzo—former Ozzy Osbourne bassist—have publicly shown their support by liking the petition, signaling recognition from Ozzy’s inner circle and key figures in his legendary career.
Often hailed as the “Prince of Darkness,” Ozzy Osbourne is best known as the iconic frontman of Black Sabbath, pioneers of heavy metal, and for his legendary solo career spanning more than five decades. From genre-defining albums like Paranoid and Blizzard of Ozz to his lasting influence on generations of artists, Osbourne’s legacy remains as powerful as ever.
The petition calls for an officially recognized day celebrating Ozzy Osbourne’s contributions to music history, his influence on popular culture, and his role in shaping one of the most enduring genres in modern music. Supporters from around the world have signed on, sharing personal stories of how Ozzy’s music inspired them, helped them through difficult times, and introduced them to heavy metal.
“Reaching 25,000 signatures is an incredible milestone, but it’s only the beginning,” said campaign organizers. “Ozzy Osbourne’s influence goes far beyond record sales and awards — he helped create a global community. This day is about honoring that legacy and the fans who’ve carried it forward.”
The petition remains open, with organizers encouraging fans, musicians, and industry figures to continue signing and sharing. The ultimate goal is official recognition that reflects Ozzy Osbourne’s lasting cultural and musical significance.
