4th fib. 3
On July 22, 2025, the world lost Ozzy Osbourne, the Prince of Darkness. His final years were marked by health struggles, farewell tours, and one unusual choice — a cover of John Lennon’s How 2010.
Ozzy’s wife was born exactly 201 weeks after his birthday
Sharon Rachel Osbourne (née Levy, later Arden; born October 9, 1952) is a British-American television personality, music manager, and author. She was married to heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne from 1982 until his death in 2025. Sharon rose to fame through the reality series The Osbournes (2002–2005) on MTV, which documented her family’s daily life. She later served as a judge on major talent competition shows, including The X Factor (2004–2007, 2013, 2016–2017) and America’s Got Talent (2007–2012).
Lennon’s song was quiet, questioning, vulnerable. Ozzy’s life was loud, chaotic, defiant. But between these two extremes lies a web of numbers, dates, and ritual parallels that line up far too neatly to dismiss as coincidence.
The Lennon–Ozzy date spans
From John Lennon’s assassination on December 8, 1980 to Ozzy’s death on July 22, 2025 is 16,297 days. That’s exactly 45 years apart, matching John Lennon = 45 in Reduction, and Ozzy = 45 in some ciphers.
It’s also 535 months, tying into ritual sums used in both Beatles and Black Sabbath numerology.
From Lennon’s birth on October 9, 1940 to Ozzy’s death is 30,967 days. That’s 84 years and 287 days — the 287th day being October 14, a date linked to Beatles recording history.
Ozzy Osbourne = 198 / 66 / 174 / 66
John Lennon = 108 / 45 / 162 / 54
How = 46 / 19 / 37 / 19

Prince of Darkness = 223 / 88 / 247 / 92
Imagine = 63 / 36 / 99 / 36
Immediate Observations
Both Ozzy and Lennon share repeating double-digit codes (66 for Ozzy, 54 for Lennon), a hallmark of ritual alignment.
How* = 46 in Ordinal — Lennon died in 1980, exactly 46 years before Ozzy’s 2026 birthday (had he lived).
7, 4th prime
Prince of Darkness* = 223 — the 223rd day of the year is August 11, tied to multiple music deaths.
Imagine* = 36 — Lennon died 36 days before his 41st birthday.
Historical cross-links
Lennon’s Beatles brought “peace” as a cultural brand. Ozzy’s Sabbath embodied “darkness” as a cultural brand. Both challenged establishment norms, both had public battles with the media, and both carried the weight of defining an entire genre. Lennon’s imagine album released in ’71 — the same year Black Sabbath dropped Master of Reality, both records containing tracks that became generational anthems.
Event syncs
Ozzy’s final How performance came 17 days before the 45th anniversary of Lennon’s death — 17, the “kill” code.
Ozzie’s last social media post featured the music of Mr. Crowley.
Aleister Crowley formulated the Law of Thelema, which holds a gematria value of 203 — matching the 203rd day of the year, the date of Ozzy Osbourne’s death — and also equates to 121.
From Lennon’s final live performance with Elton John (Nov 28, 1974) to Ozzy’s death is 50 years and 237 days — 237 being 2×3×79, with 79 the 22nd prime, matching Ozzy’s death on 7/22.
Lennon’s assassination fell on a Monday — same weekday alignment as Ozzy’s final public performance before death.
Beatles–Black Sabbath parallels
Both bands’ debut albums redefined their genres, arriving with shock value. The Beatles’ Please Please Me (1963) and Sabbath’s Black Sabbath (1970) each opened a door in culture that could never be closed — peace and light vs. darkness and heaviness, both branded globally. Lennon’s “bigger than Jesus” remark and Ozzy’s bat-biting both became shorthand for rebellion in their respective lanes.
Ozzy died on the first day of the final 163 days of the year — the same number as The Osbournes (163).
Closing reflection
Lennon asked “How can I go forward when I don’t know which way I’m facing?” Ozzy answered it, in a way, with decades of forward motion through chaos. And yet, in death, their timelines, numbers, and cultural roles fold into each other — peace and darkness, Imagine and Black Sabbath, a 45-year mirror between two of rock’s most polarizing figures.
