The week started with the tragic death of actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner in Costa Rica on Sunday, July 20. A couple of days later, on Tuesday, heavy metal legend and the frontman of the metal band, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, passed away. Given how big a name Ozzy Osbourne is in the world of music, there was little notice of the fact that Grammy-winning jazz musician Chuck Mangione also passed away on Tuesday. Then, on Thursday, July 24, Hulk Hogan died.
With the world still mourning the deaths of four big-name celebrities within a week, we remember them here for all the joy and love they brought to fans.
