It's been over four months since rock icon Ozzy Osbourne passed away, and now, his tender last words to his wife, Sharon Osbourne, have been revealed.
During a recent appearance on "Piers Morgan Uncensored," Sharon recalled that Ozzy woke her up in the early hours, asking for a kiss and a tight hug. She shared, "He was up and down to the bathroom all night, and it was like 4:30am, and he said, 'Wake up.' I said, 'I'm already bloody awake, you've woken me up.'" Osbourne added, "And he said, 'Kiss me.' And then he said, 'Hug me tight.'"
Reflecting on their last moments, Sharon expressed regret, telling Piers, "If only I'd have told him I loved him more. If only I'd have held him tighter."
Sharon also recalled that the following morning Ozzy worked out before he passed away, remembering his final moments, "I ran downstairs, and there he was, and they were trying to resuscitate him, and I'm like, 'Don’t — just leave him. Leave him. You can't. He's gone.'"
Ozzy, who died of a heart attack on July 22nd at age 76, had been battling Parkinson's disease and other health issues. Despite his ailments, Ozzy performed a farewell concert in Birmingham, England, weeks before his death. According to Sharon, doctors had warned him about the risks, but Ozzy insisted on performing.
During his last weeks, Ozzy experienced vivid dreams, which he shared with Sharon, indicating he felt ready for the end. Sharon described Ozzy's final days as filled with happiness, noting that he was grateful for the love and admiration from fans after his last performance.
A private funeral was held on July 31st in Buckinghamshire, England, attended by close friends and family, including his Black Sabbath bandmates. Thousands of fans also gathered in Birmingham to pay tribute to the legendary musician.
