Today would have been John’s 66th birthday. It’s still so hard to accept that he’s no longer here with us. The pain of his absence will never truly fade. But what he left behind is powerful - a legacy that people will always look up to. The passion he poured into every single note will echo through time. His legacy will continue to touch lives, just as it always has. Let’s send John some heavenly love today.

We are deeply saddened to learn of Ozzy's passing. The coming weeks will feel emptier without the presence of rock’s true overlord blessing our world. His final performance at Back to the Beginning was a powerful swan song—a parting gift to the legion of fans who stood by him through the decades. Our heartfelt condolences to his family.

John was an huge admirer of Ozzy, and certainly the legendary guitarists who shaped his sound and legacy over the years.
May he rest in peace, and may his music last forever.

We’ve received several questions about the dates displayed on the tribute image on the homepage, particularly regarding the years 1959-2024. Some have mistakenly assumed that John passed away in 2025, when the news was first announced. To clarify: John passed away in late December 2024, but the announcement wasn’t made until 2025. As a result, some media outlets have incorrectly reported his passing as occurring in January 2025, which is not accurate.

Please disregard any rumours circulating about tributes, funerals, or memorial services. The only official and accurate information regarding these matters will come from this website and John’s official social media channels (linked from this website).

We appreciate your understanding and patience.

Since sharing the news of John's passing, we’ve been overwhelmed with an outpouring of love and support for John and his family. Fans and artists from all over the world have come together online to honour him and express what he truly meant to them. There's no doubt that John would be deeply touched by these heartfelt tributes, and I imagine wherever he is, he’s looking down with a smile on his face. He always cherished his fans and was incredibly grateful for their support throughout his entire career.

I'm sure there are many questions that everybody has as to where we go from here. Rest assured as a family we will be looking to ensure that John continues to be celebrated and his name forever spoken.

We can't thank you enough for the messages of support. We will be in touch with more news soon.
