Ozzy Osbourne Day Petition Hits 25,000 Signatures As Sharon And Kelly Show Support

Ozzy Osbourne’s legacy still towers over heavy music even after his passing, and a grassroots petition calling for an official Ozzy Osbourne Day has just smashed through a major milestone.

The Change.org campaign has now surpassed 25,000 signatures, with fans around the world rallying behind the idea of formally recognising Ozzy’s cultural impact.

For a movement built from the ground up, it’s a serious number, and it shows how far his influence stretches beyond record sales, awards, and the usual industry back patting.

Adding fuel to the push, the petition has also caught the attention of Ozzy’s inner circle, Kelly Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne have both shown public support by liking the petition, alongside Rudy Sarzo, former Ozzy Osbourne bassist and a key part of his wider legacy (per thisdayinmetal).

Ozzy’s name is stitched into the DNA of heavy music

He was the frontman of Black Sabbath, the band that helped invent heavy metal as we know it, and later built one of the most iconic solo careers in rock history and whether you found him through Sabbath’s ‘Paranoid’ era or the solo thunder of Blizzard of Ozz, the impact is the same: Ozzy didn’t just sing over riffs, he helped shape the entire language of metal.

The petition calls for an officially recognised day to honour his contributions to music history, popular culture, and the global metal community.

Supporters have been adding personal stories to the campaign, with many crediting Ozzy’s music for helping them survive rough patches, find their people, and fall in love with heavy music in the first place.

Campaign organisers said: “Reaching 25,000 signatures is an incredible milestone, but it’s only the beginning. 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 here, with organisers encouraging fans and musicians to keep signing and sharing as they push for official recognition.
