Ozzy Osbourne is mourning the loss of his beloved Pomeranian, Rocky, who passed away earlier this week after 15 years by the rock legend’s side. Ozzy shared the heartbreaking news with his fans, expressing his love and saying, “I’ll see you on the other side, my friend. I love you always.” Rocky was a favorite among the many pets in the Osbourne household and often featured on Ozzy’s social media, where fans got a glimpse of their special bond.
In 2017, Ozzy posted a video of Rocky enjoying his music, calling the pooch his “number one fan.” The deep connection between Ozzy and Rocky was evident, with even Jack Osbourne joking about how his father would get more excited over Facetiming with Rocky than anything else. The loss of Rocky has been felt beyond the Osbourne family, as Black Sabbath’s official Facebook page also paid tribute to the late dog, and countless fans have sent their condolences.
This loss comes at a difficult time for Ozzy, who has been battling Parkinson’s disease and other health issues, forcing him to step back from touring. Despite these challenges, the love and memories Ozzy shared with Rocky have provided some comfort during this tough period. The bond between Ozzy and his pet is a reminder of the unconditional love and support that animals bring into our lives, even for a figure as iconic as the Prince of Darkness.
