An epic job title was listed for Ozzy Osbourne on his death certificate.

On Tuesday, Aug. 5, The New York Times and The Sun obtained a copy of the rocker’s death certificate, which said that he died of “out of hospital cardiac arrest” and “acute myocardial infarction,” with coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease with autonomic dysfunction noted as “joint causes.”

According to the Times, Osbourne’s occupation on the death certificate was listed as “Songwriter, Performer and Rock Legend.” It was also Osbourne’s daughter Aimee who submitted the document to a registry in London, per the outlet.

On July 22, the Black Sabbath frontman and reality TV personality died at the age of 76.

“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,” Osbourne’s family said in a statement to PEOPLE at the time. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”

In a statement to PEOPLE following his death, a Thames Valley Air Ambulance spokesperson confirmed that Osbourne’s helicopter “was dispatched to provide advanced critical care at an incident near Chalfont St Giles on Tuesday 22nd July.”

The Daily Mail initially reported that the air ambulance was called to the “War Pigs” performer’s family home and spent two hours caring for him before his death.

During an emotional funeral procession on Wednesday, July 30 in Birmingham, England, Osbourne’s family — including wife Sharon and his kids Louis, Aimee, Kelly and Jack — said their final goodbyes to the “Paranoid” artist.

Osbourne performed from a throne at the Black Sabbath farewell concert on July 5 in Birmingham, England, weeks before his death. The live show ended up being his final concert and his first in 20 years with the iconic group that made him a star.

Osbourne revealed in January 2020 that he’d been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease — a nervous system disorder that affects movement — in 2003.

Meanwhile, in 2019, Osbourne had suffered a fall in his Los Angeles home, which required neck surgery.

Osbourne did, however, return to the stage in August 2022 for a performance in front of 30,000 at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

A month after the performance, he spoke to PEOPLE about wanting to continue playing live despite his health issues.

“That’s the only thing that reminds me I’m getting older: things going wrong and not working anymore,” Osbourne said at the time, adding that he still felt “young at heart.”
