Ozzy Osbourne's emotional last days as he was 'humbled by final goodbye'
Sharon Osbourne has spoken out about husband Ozzy's final days and how he confided in her in the days after his final performance in his beloved hometown Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne confided in his wife Sharon Osbourne in his last days about how deeply moved he was by the wave of affection from fans following his final concert performance. In the days leading up to his passing, Sharon shared: "He turned around and he said to me that night, 'I had no idea that so many people liked me.'" She added: "Ozzy's always been in his own bubble." The Black Sabbath frontman passed away at the age of 76 on 22 July from a reported heart attack, just weeks after reuniting with his band for The Back To The Beginning farewell gig in Birmingham, the Mirror reports. Reflecting on the event, Sharon revealed: "For Ozzy to play with Bill [Ward] again, he was very, very emotional about that." Speaking to Pollstar, she continued: "It was a huge success, because it was a phenomenal event. It was the first time, I think, that anybody's gone into retirement and done it, where the show is streamed and it goes to charity. So it's the first time anybody has said goodnight like that, it's the perfect way, when you've had such a long career, to end it." "I never wanted Ozzy to just disappear without some big event. And it's the best way then to go home to where it all started, to go to his favourite stadium in the world, which is home to his beloved Aston Villa team, and it was just perfect," she continued. "It was the perfect storm, put it that way. The metal fans are the most loyal fans in the world! When they're a fan, you've got them for life. They don't go anywhere." Sharon said it felt particularly special because "a lot of our old crew guys were with us who had been with us for years, so it was very, very emotional that way too. It wasn't just what you saw on stage, but the guys behind the stage had been with us for years and years." Sharon revealed she had to say no to several bands eager to perform. She stated: "I had been talking about this two years ago, and then it became a reality. It was just amazing the way it happened. We sold 40,000 was all the big icons. I mean, we could have gone on and on with more bands, but there just wasn't any more time. " A standout moment for Ozzy and Sharon was Yungblud's cover of Changes. "I loved Yungblud's performance. That's being released as a single. It's a beautiful song," Sharon said. Meanwhile, a one-hour documentary described as a 'moving and inspirational account of the last chapter' of Ozzy's life is set to air on the BBC. Titled Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, the August 18 programme offers 'unique and intimate access to the whole Osbourne family,' including Sharon and their children, Kelly and Jack. According to the BBC the programme, which was filmed over three years, "captures the extraordinary rollercoaster of their lives' as the famous couple 'attempt to complete their long-held dream of moving back to the UK." It also captures Ozzy as he "heroically battles to get fit enough to perform" and the family dealing with "the dramatic consequences of his ill health," with Kelly quoted as saying in the documentary: "Iron Man wasn't really made of iron." The rocker had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019. Clare Sillery, head of commissioning, BBC Documentaries, said: 'We are honoured to have had the opportunity to film with Ozzy and his family." "The film captures an intimate glimpse into their journey as they prepare to return to the UK. It features family moments, humour, reflection and shows the enduring spirit that made Ozzy a global icon. We hope it brings comfort and joy to Ozzy's fans and viewers as they remember and celebrate his extraordinary life." The documentary was initially planned as a series titled Home To Roost, announced in 2022, and intended to follow Ozzy and Sharon's move from the US - where they had lived for over two decades - back to Buckinghamshire. However, the project "evolved as Ozzy's health deteriorated" into a one-hour documentary, according to the BBC.
