Sebastian Bach Skid Row vocalist , opened his heart to talk about the death of Ozzy Osbourne , which will mark one month on August 22nd. The musician stated that he still cannot accept the fact.
In an interview with Australian Musician , Bach commented that he was still recovering after watching Osbourne at Back To The Beginning . Regarding the fateful day, the singer replied that nobody was prepared for the news, since the show had taken place two weeks prior.
“I watched the event on YouTube the day after the show. I cried watching Black Sabbath reunite one last time. When the video disappeared, I bought it on streaming — it was the last chance to see it. I got my friends together, we watched it together. It was intense. And, two weeks later, Ozzy dies. I wasn't prepared. Nobody was. We had just seen him on stage,” he said [transcription via Blabbermouth ].
Sebastian Bach also compared Ozzy Osbourne's death to the loss of his father – who was the same age as he is now, 57 – in 2002. He stated that it was a difficult period and he cried "until there were no tears left."
“Since my father died in 2002, I’ve learned to break down the pain into parts so I can move on. Sometimes, when I lose someone—like Ozzy, Gregg Allman , Eddie Van Halen , or Neil Peart —I pretend nothing happened. I know that’s not right, but it’s my way of coping. I still haven’t accepted that Ozzy is gone. With him, a part of my childhood died too,” he concluded.
