Alice Cooper called Ozzy Osbourne an 'unmatched showman and cultural icon' following the death of the Black Sabbath singer yesterday.

In addition to the live tributes and heartfelt messages shared online, many fans showed their appreciation and love for Ozzy with makeshift memorials at his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles as well as the Black Sabbath bench in the band's hometown of Birmingham, England.

The Prince of Darkness may have been born in the United Kingdom, but he had some deep ties to the Valley. Not only was the first Ozzfest held here in Phoenix, but Osbourne's long-time friend, Alice Cooper has made Arizona his home.
