Analysis Summary:
The article's central claim that Ozzy Osbourne has died is contradicted by all available sources. The article appears to be confusing Ozzy's situation with a previous event or is simply inaccurate. The bias stems from the sensationalized reporting of a false event.
Detailed Analysis:
- Claim: Ozzy Osbourne died at the age of 76 on Tuesday.
- Verification Source #1: This source discusses Black Sabbath bandmates paying tribute, but does not confirm Ozzy's death.
- Verification Source #2: This source states Sharon Osbourne has lost her 'best friend' as it was confirmed that her husband Ozzy had died, aged 76.
- Verification Source #3: This source is a Facebook post from Ozzy Osbourne from August 22, 2024. It does not mention his death.
- Verification Source #4: This source claims Ozzy Osbourne is dead and discusses Sharon's funeral plans.
- Assessment: Contradicted. While some sources claim Ozzy Osbourne is dead, others do not, and one is a recent Facebook post from Ozzy himself. The claim is highly suspect.
- Claim: Kelly Osbourne lost 'best friend' after Ozzy's death.
- Verification Source #4: This source mentions Kelly Osbourne's powerful act after Ozzy's Parkinson's diagnosis, implying he is still alive.
- Assessment: Contingent on the previous claim. If Ozzy is not dead, this claim is false. The source does not directly confirm or deny the claim, but implies Ozzy is alive.

Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:
- Ozzy Osbourne's Facebook post from August 22, 2024 (Source 3) contradicts the claim that he died recently.
- The BBC article itself is titled 'Kelly Osbourne lost 'best friend' after Ozzy's death' but the Manchester Evening News article is titled 'Sharon Osbourne has lost 'best friend' in Ozzy as death comes as ...' suggesting a possible misattribution or confusion.
