What did Alex Jones say about Ozzy Osbourne? Internet defends singer over Infowars founder death comments

Ozzy Osbourne has passed away, a family statement confirmed on Tuesday, July 23, 2025.

Many are mourning the death of the hard rock legend, but Alex Jones has shared a controversial take on his X account. The conspiracy theorist and conservative influencer expressed skepticism about Osbourne’s death. He referenced the “devil worshipper” rumors and linked the death to COVID-19 shots. Jones began by saying,

“Whenever someone iconic dies, whether we were a fan or not. Whether we hated them or loved them. It reminds us of how mortal we are. And at 76, Ozzy Osbourne, definitely an icon, a Black Sabbath in his larger music career, in reality TV, died after having a huge farewell concert in his hometown.”

The controversial right-wing broadcaster mentioned the rumors that Ozzy Osbourne was a satanist:

“There’s no doubt that once Ozzy Osbourne went on in his own career that the music execs and the others had come out, pressured him to kind of go with the Satan angle. Because it was seen as more rebellious and made more money.”

Jones maintained that he didn’t believe the legendary musician was a devil-worshipper and wouldn’t judge him. He continued discussing the COVID-19 vaccine shot the late singer had taken. Alex Jones said,

“But I do know he took some of the mRNA shots.”

The Infowars founder speculated,

“Was Ozzy Osbourne killed or did he contribute to his death from the mRNA experimental shots that also destroy your immune system and create blood clots and so much more.”

Alex Jones concluded,

“I would say, overall, not a satanist. No evidence of that really, overall. But when it comes to the shots, you have to say that the jury is out and you have to look at it and ask that question.”

Although the right-wing commentator did not cite any studies, he included a screenshot of a news story about the former Black Sabbath member’s COVID-19 shot.

The backlash to Jones’ remarks was swift, especially on X, where fans pushed back against his claims. The Infowars founder’s post following the late musician’s death garnered many reactions, with several finding his remarks insensitive. Internet users called out Alex Jones while defending Ozzy Osbourne.

“Ozzy was a good man, perhaps a tortured soul, but aren’t we all at some level? All the satanic stuff was just rebelliousness to the status quo. I went through it myself & was never a satanist, though sometimes mad at God. He always blessed people profusely at his concerts. RIP,” a user wrote.

“Ozzie was no devil worshiper. What he was is one of the greatest rock performers the world has ever seen. RIP OZZIE!,” another user shared.

“Oh for Pete's sake stahp,” someone commented.

“Stop, now you're just being a douche,” another one criticized Jones for being insensitive.

A user slammed the right-wing broadcaster for his theory,

“The UK government classed any death as covid if tested positive for it within 28 days, seems like you're doing if someone's died within 28 years of getting the shot then its 'vaccines' fault.”

Another user wrote,

“Let him be. Godspeed.”

Someone used harsher words to share their criticism,

“Oh god, shut the f*** up already. Hasn’t even been 24 hours. He made great music. Let the man rest.”

Despite Alex Jones’ claims, Osbourne’s family has not disclosed the cause of death. Ozzy’s wife, Sharon, and his kids—Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and Louis—shared in a joint statement that loved ones surrounded the musician when he passed away.

For those unaware, the No More Tears singer was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in February 2019, which he publicly announced in January 2020 during an appearance on Good Morning America.

Ozzy Osbourne remained publicly active and had his last concert on July 5, 2025, in Villa Park in Birmingham, England, alongside his Black Sabbath bandmates, per USA Today.
