Jack Osbourne shared another statement about his father, Ozzy Osbourne, following the Black Sabbath singer's death on July 22 at the age of 76.
The Osbournes star, 39, took to X on Sunday after previously posting a tribute to him on August 6.
Newsweek reached out to Osbourne's representative via email for comment on Monday.
Why It Matters
Ozzy Osbourne, who was affectionately known as the Prince of Darkness, died just weeks after he performed at the Black Sabbath farewell concert in Birmingham, England, on July 5. The performance marked the first time the original members of the band had reunited in 20 years.
The "Crazy Train" singer died of a heart attack, with cardiac arrest and coronary artery disease among the causes, according to his death certificate filed in London, The New York Times reported. Ozzy Osbourne had also been living with Parkinson's disease.
What To Know
On Sunday, Jack Osbourne shared a video from Audiomover titled: "Ozzy - Was All of this a Premonition?"
"This sums my father's journey up perfectly," the reality TV star wrote on X and Facebook. "Thank you for so beautifully expressing what so many of us have had a hard time putting into words."
Hours before his death, Audiomover owner Robert John Hadfield asked why Ozzy Osbourne was such a global household name.
"He didn't have a traditional rock voice. It was kind of strange, eerie, almost otherworldly and perfect in its imperfection," Hadfield said of the musician in the 12-minute clip reposted by Jack Osbourne. "It brought something unusually authentic to an unexpecting world. They took the blues and turned it into thunder—capturing fear, war, addiction and dread without flinching. And millions across the world got it. In an instant, his voice and that music took him to the heights of worldwide fame and success."
In a separate section of the video, Hadfield added that The Osbournes television show "turned him into an unlikely TV dad, and people loved him even more for it."
On Wednesday, Jack penned a message to X and Instagram, saying he hadn't "wanted to post anything since the passing of my father."
"My heart has hurt too much," he told his followers. "I'm gonna keep this short because he certainly hated long rambling speeches. He was so many things to so many people, but I was so lucky and blessed to be apart of a very small group that got to call him 'Dad'. My heart is full of so much sadness and sorrow, but also so much love and gratitude. I got 14,501 days with that man and I know that is such a blessing."
