In life, Ozzy Osbourne was dubbed “The Prince of Darkness.” And as word of his death on Tuesday spread, rock’s royalty bade farewell to the irrepressible Black Sabbath singer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“He was a dear friend and a huge trailblazer who secured his place in the pantheon of rock gods \u2014 a true legend,”\u00a0Elton John\u00a0posted on Instagram. “He was also one of the funniest people I\u2019ve ever met.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another British singer with a distinctive voice and offbeat sense of humor,\u00a0Rod Stewart, also weighed in with condolences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
