Sharon Osbourne Shares Ozzy’s Last Comments About Fans Before His Death

Sharon Osbourne revealed that her late husband Ozzy Osbourne shared touching comments about his fans prior to his death.

In an interview with Pollstar that was published on Tuesday, August 5, but took place on July 17, Sharon shared Ozzy’s remarks about his fans following Black Sabbath’s “Back to the Beginning” farewell concert. The gig, which took place in Birmingham, England, on July 5, marked Ozzy’s final performance.

“He turned around and he said to me that night, he said, ‘I had no idea that so many people liked me,’” Sharon, 72, reflected during the interview. “Ozzy’s always been in his own bubble.”

For her part, Sharon admitted she wasn’t surprised in the least that there was so much love and admiration for Ozzy from his fans.

“Oh my God, 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,” she said.

The couple’s daughter, Kelly, 40, shared how special the final performance was to her dad, detailing her gratitude via an Instagram Story posted on July 5.

“I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Thank you to everyone who came to the show last night, [and] thank you to everybody who was involved in the show last night,” she wrote. “You have no idea what it did for my dad. It was one of the most magical experiences of my entire life, and if I keep talking, I’m probably going to end up crying again. So, that’s all I’ll say for now. Thank you.”
