WNBA star Brittney Griner joined a plethora of athletes, celebrities, and fans worldwide who mourned the passing of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne.
On Tuesday, Black Sabbath’s frontman tragically passed away 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. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time,” a post shared on his Instagram.
Following the icon’s passing, the Atlanta Dream standout penned a short yet sweet tribute to the late musician.
Brittney Griner called the British legend, a title that reflects his groundbreaking influence in the music scene.
Griner is averaging 10.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 0.8 assists across 21 games played, not counting Wednesday’s contest.
The Atlanta Dream kicked off the second half of the WNBA season with a disappointing loss on Tuesday night and then another road loss against the Las Vegas Aces.
The team finally got into the swing of things with a much-needed victory on Wednesday night against the Mercury.
