Sharon Osbourne says she had "no idea" Ozzy was going to die "so quickly" after Black Sabbath's homecoming Back to the Beginning concert at Villa Park.
Almost four months from Ozzy Osbourne's passing, Sharon, Kelly and Jack Osbourne have released a powerful, raw and emotional episode of The Osbournes Podcast.
During the chat, Jack asks his mum and sister when they came to the realisation that Ozzy wasn’t going to get better.
"The sepsis," Sharon replies. "When he was diagnosed with that (in early 2025), I was like, ‘I don't think he's going to be able to cope with the effects of this’. Because, I mean, it's just horrendous. It's brutal. But one side of me was like, you know the voices in your head - 'he's not gonna make it', 'Yeah, he is, he’s Ozzy He's gonna do it.'
"Yes, he did the show, yes, but I didn't see him going as quickly as he went. I didn't see it."
An emotional Kelly then states: "He did (see it). And it's only in retrospect that I see that now because he started saying things to me that I think he was preparing me for when he wasn't going to be here. I just thought that the buzz of the show and everything that that gave him would give him enough to stick around a little longer."
"I think we all did, you know,” Jack agrees. "I even said it. I was like, ‘Oh, you're like Superman staring into the sun. That's all you needed.'"
Sharon adds: "There will never be another Ozzy. There will never be anybody with that likability and talent. And, yeah, he was unique. He was totally unique."
