Ozzy Osbourne: Black Sabbath star’s wife Sharon reveals rocker’s heartbreaking final moments and words

“Kiss me. Hug me tight.” These were Ozzy Osbourne’s last words to his wife Sharon.

Just 20 minutes later she found the Black Sabbath frontman slumped over in the gym in the family’s Buckinghamshire mansion in England.

She screamed at the sight of his lifeless body, knowing her much-loved husband was gone.

In an emotional interview with British TV personality Piers Morgan, Sharon also revealed that the rocker had woken about 4am on Tuesday, July 22, after a disturbed night.

“He was up and down to the bathroom all night and it was like 4.30 and he said, ‘Wake up’. I said, ‘I’m already bloody awake, you’ve woken me up’,” Sharon tearfully recalled.

“And he said, ‘Kiss me’. And then he said, ‘Hug me tight’.

“I can’t help wondering if I should have, could I have?

“If only I’d have told him I loved him more. If only I’d have held him tighter.”

She continued: “And he went downstairs, worked out for 20 minutes and passed away.”

Revealing details of the 76-year-old’s death publicly for the first time, Sharon added: “He had a heart attack.

“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’.

“I knew instantly he’d gone. And they tried and tried, and then they took him by helicopter to the hospital and they tried, and it’s like, ‘He’s gone. Just leave him’.”

Sharon, 73, said the ­former hellraiser, sober for more than 40 years, used a cross-trainer for up to 90 minutes a day.

On the day of his death, he had insisted on an early morning workout despite battling illnesses including pneumonia and sepsis.

Doctors warned him against doing his final performance at Birmingham’s Villa Park Stadium on July 5, saying it would likely kill him, but he insisted on going ahead.

“He’d been so ill this year — terribly, terribly ill,” Sharon said.

“And when we came to England and we were meeting with new doctors here, a new medical team for him, the main doctor said to him, ‘If you do this show, that’s it. You’re not going to get through it’.

“But we just sat there, and he said, ‘I’m doing it. I want to do it, and I’m doing it’.

“He knew his body was failing him. He was in so much pain, so much pain.

“And I mean, you know, he had pneumonia three times this year. He’d had sepsis.

“That’s what really, really destroyed him. He was on these shots of antibiotics. It used to take 20 minutes for the shot to go in, and he had that twice a day and it kills everything in you — the good, the bad, everything.

“So much antibiotics and he just couldn’t get over that. He just couldn’t.”

Ozzy performed sitting on a ­custom-made throne as he was no longer able to stand.

Sharon, who married Ozzy in 1982, said that her husband mustered the strength to perform because: “He just wanted it so bad to say thank you to everyone.

“And I think he honestly did know that he ... he was done. That was his time.

“He was so happy afterwards. He kept looking at the papers and he goes to me, ‘I never knew so many people liked me’. But that was the way he was.

“I mean, he knew he was famous but not the amount that people loved him. It’s a whole different thing and he was just so happy, so so happy.

“And for two weeks he was, you know, really, like every day was sunshine for him. Really, really happy, yeah, so happy — happier than we’d seen him in seven years.”

Sharon said she believed Ozzy knew death was near and he was ready for it.

“He had told me that he was ­having dreams in the last week of his life. He was seeing people that he never knew,” she said.

“I said, ‘Well, what kind of ­people?’ He goes, ‘All different people. And I just keep walking and walking and I’m seeing all these different people every night. And I go back there and I’m looking at these people and they’re looking at me, and nobody’s talking’.

“And he knew. He was ready.”
