Weeks after Ozzy Osbourne’s death at age 76, fans now have a rare chance to own a piece of rock history. The Black Sabbath frontman’s iconic stage-worn jackets, albums, and other memorabilia are being auctioned to the highest bidders, and the demand is already intense.
???? The “Retirement Sucks” Jacket Could Fetch $20K
Leading the collection is a custom black jacket Ozzy wore during his infamous “Retirement Sucks” tour, a tour that symbolized his refusal to bow out quietly. The dramatic coat, featuring long tails, was designed by Audrey Carter and bears Ozzy’s autograph alongside a personal inscription.
???? Auction House Estimate: $20,000
This isn’t just a jacket—it’s a piece of metal history worn by the man who helped invent the genre.
???? The Mesh Coat With a Backstory
Also up for grabs is a custom black mesh coat Ozzy sported on stage in 2011, created by stylist Lena Hermansson. The choice of mesh wasn’t random; according to the auction house, Ozzy specifically requested it because he often drenched himself in water during performances, and the mesh fabric kept the jacket from becoming too heavy.
???? Auction House Estimate: $10,000
It’s a reminder of the chaotic, wet-and-wild energy Ozzy brought to every stage he stepped on.
???? Signed “Blizzard of Ozz” Album Included
For fans who want something a little less dramatic (but just as iconic), a signed copy of Ozzy’s 1980 solo debut album, Blizzard of Ozz, is also in the lineup.
???? Auction House Estimate: $5,000
The album includes classic hits like “Crazy Train” and represents Ozzy’s rise from being fired by Black Sabbath to becoming a solo superstar.
???? A Randy Rhoads Guitar Stuns Collectors
But it’s not all about Ozzy. The auction also features a jaw-dropping piece for guitar collectors: Randy Rhoads’ 1974 Gibson Les Paul, played during his time with Quiet Riot.
This guitar isn’t just any relic—it appears on the back cover of Quiet Riot’s self-titled debut album and is believed to be the only Rhoads guitar ever offered at auction.
???? Auction House Estimate: Over $100,000
????️ When & Where to Bid
The auction kicks off today at Gotta Have Rock and Roll and runs through August 8. With Ozzy’s passing still fresh in fans’ hearts, experts predict these items could exceed their estimated values as collectors race to secure their piece of history.
???? A Fitting Tribute to the Prince of Darkness
Ozzy Osbourne’s passing on July 22, just weeks after his final Black Sabbath performance, sent shockwaves through the music world. While he may be gone, his influence lives on—and for a lucky few, so will his wardrobe.
