The death of Ozzy Osbourne was a profoundly monumental loss for the world, and if you ask Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme, it’s similar to the passing of another iconic singer… David Bowie.

Recently, Homme was a guest on Radio X and, during the conversation, he offered his thoughts on the Black Sabbath singer dying soon after holding his final performance. “I think it was such a poetic ending to a career that you just can’t take your eyes and ears off of,” Homme said.

“I mean, I could watch Ozzy do anything,” he continued. “Well, almost anything. But, you know, if he was squeezing orange juice, I’d be like, ‘We should watch this. Something beyond juice is coming,’ you know? I just think he’s a classic.”

Making a pretty fair comparison, Homme then added, “I think his passing was poetic, and I feel for the family, because that’s such a loss. But I also think that I believe that they see the poetry in that, too. You know, I think David Bowie’s passing was that those are two poetic ways to go.”

NME noted that Homme seems to be referring to David Bowie releasing his final album, Blackstar, in January 2016 and then dying two days later, following a battle with cancer. Fans have since reflected on the album as an intentional farewell record, believing there are themes such as seeking to reconcile with his own mortality, though his collaborator Donny McCaslin has dismissed these theories.

Ozzy Osbourne passed away on Tuesday, July 22. He was 76. In a statement, the Osbourne family said, “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. He was with his family and surrounded by love.”

The legendary metal singer’s last live performance was earlier this summer at the Back to the Beginning festival, a concert event celebrating his career both solo and with Black Sabbath.

Ozzy had been living with Parkinson’s and faced multiple health issues over the last several years. His cause of death was ultimately ruled as being due to acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease with autonomic dysfunction are listed as associated factors.
