Ozzy Osbourne Dies Weeks After Final Black Sabbath Farewell Show

Jack Osbourne has emotionally recalled his father Ozzy Osbourne's final concert, describing it as a "living wake" where Ozzy, battling health issues, had the chance to say goodbye to fans during the "Back to the Beginning" farewell show. The concert, held in Birmingham, took place just 17 days before Ozzy's death at age 76, and featured performances by Black Sabbath and other prominent rock artists. Jack shared that he and his family, especially his mother Sharon Osbourne, were unprepared for the overwhelming public outpouring of love following Ozzy's passing. He reflected on the bittersweet emotions of seeing his father perform one last time, noting that the tears were not from sadness but from the awareness that it was truly the final performance. Jack also spoke about the challenge of coping with the loss and the universal difficulty of imagining life without one's parents. Ozzy's memoir "Last Rites," completed shortly before his death, offers a candid account of his life, career, and struggles, highlighting the rock legend's love for his job, family, and sense of humor.
