Osbourne was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019, but his cause of death has yet to be revealed. He played his final performance, titled “Back to the Beginning,” earlier in July at a benefit concert in England. He became infamous in San Antonio in 1982 after he drunkenly relieved himself on the Alamo Cenotaph, landing him in the Bexar County Jail the same night he was set to perform a sold-out show.
