In an interview with journalist Piers Morgan , Sharon Osbourne revealed that Ozzy Osbourne was warned that doing one last show with Black Sabbath could be fatal.
In a fragment of a conversation published by the British journalist, Ozzy's widow revealed a delicate conversation she had with a healthcare professional. "His main doctor told him: 'If you do this show, it's over. You're not going to survive,'" she recounts.
Morgan then asks the businesswoman if the singer knew that doing the show would "probably kill him," to which Sharon replies that yes, he did. "He didn't want to die on stage, he didn't," she emphasizes. "But he made it happen his way."
Ozzy Osbourne passed away on July 22nd, at the age of 76, just weeks after his last show with Black Sabbath in the band's hometown of Birmingham. The cause of death was later revealed to be a heart attack and acute myocardial infarction .
Ozzy Osbourne's last words to Sharon have been revealed.
In another excerpt from the same interview , Sharon Osbourne revealed that her husband seemed aware that his end was near, even reporting mysterious visions days before suffering the fatal heart attack.
In the early hours of the 22nd, Ozzy was agitated. Around 4:30 a.m., before going downstairs to do his morning exercises—the moment when he would pass away—he woke his wife with a simple request.
“He said, ‘Wake up.’ I replied, ‘I’m already awake, you woke me up.’ Then he asked, ‘Kiss me.’ And then he added, ‘Hug me tight.’”
The weight of that last hug still haunts Sharon, who opened up about her grief: “I keep wondering if I should have done something differently. If only I had told him I loved him more often, or hugged him tighter. He went downstairs, trained for 20 minutes, and then he was gone.”
