The single most influential person in metal music, John "Ozzy" Osbourne has, sadly, passed away.  Known as the lead singer of the quintessential band Black Sabbath as well as his incredibly successful solo career, the "Prince of Darkness" has moved on to the next realm.  His lasting influence on music as a singer and songwriter will be remembered forever.

Would you say he was more influential than lemmy from motorhead?

Icons like Lemmy and Rob Halford have certainly had an influence, but yeah, it's very hard for anyone to compete with Ozzy's legacy.  Even people who are not fans of Heavy Metal or familiar with the genre at all have heard of Ozzy Osbourne.
