Osbourne was fired from the band in 1979 due to alcohol and drug problems, but he went on to have a successful solo career, releasing eleven studio albums, the first seven of which were all awarded multi-platinum certifications in the United States. Osbourne has since reunited with Black Sabbath on several occasions.

Sad to write this or to never see you again,” Travis captioned another snap of Taylor. “I’ll never forget Laguna Beach days when I was a trash man playing in a punk rock band and you were playing with Alanis [Morissette].
You’d come watch me play in dive bars and be like, ‘kid you’re a star’. And I thought you were crazy but you gave me so much hope and determination.” There were few details on how Taylor died, although the band said in a statement on Friday that his death was a “tragic and untimely loss.” The Foo Fighters were scheduled to play at a festival in Bogota on Friday evening.
Taylor’s last performance with the band was on Sunday (March 20) at a concert in San Isidro, Argentina.
