JACK OSBOURNE Reflects On OZZY OSBOURNE's Death: 'He Was Done. He Was Okay With His Journey.'

In an appearance on Hate To Break It To Ya, the weekly podcast hosted by actor/comedian Jamie Kennedy, Ozzy Osbourne's son Jack Osbourne was asked if it was a "surprise" for him when the legendary heavy metal singer died so soon after playing his final concert with BLACK SABBATH in July 2025. Jack responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "Yeah, it was a surprise, for sure. Obviously everyone knew he was sick… But, yeah, we weren't expecting it to be as quick as it was."

Jack continued: "I think he was done. 'Cause I'd left England to come home after the show. We went to the 'Back To The Beginning' gig with the family, and we all hung around England for a few weeks, and had to come back with the kids. And right before I left, I was putting him to bed, and he was, like, brushing his teeth or whatever, and he was looking at himself in the mirror, and he goes, 'I think I'm gonna cut my hair off.' I'm, like, 'Why?' And he's, like, 'I've retired. I'm not a rock star anymore.' And so I think about that, and I'm, like, yeah, he was done. He was okay with his journey."

During the same chat, Jack said that the day his father died at age 76 was just like any other.

"It was a few days after I got back that he passed, and we were… Even the morning that he passed, it was like, it wasn't anything dramatic at all," Jack said. "He was up, he was doing his thing, had some breakfast, and that was it."

Last December Sharon Osbourne revealed the final conversation she had with her husband Ozzy just before he died, less than three weeks after he played his final concert with BLACK SABBATH at the "Back To The Beginning" event.

In a new interview with Piers Morgan on his program "Piers Morgan Uncensored", Sharon described the last evening with Ozzy at their home in Buckinghamshire, England, saying: "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.' And he said, 'Kiss me.' And then he said, 'Hug me tight.'"

She added: "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. And he went downstairs, worked out for 20 minutes and passed away.

"He had a heart attack," Sharon said of 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.' 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.'"

During the same chat, Sharon said that Ozzy knew that he was near the end of his life and that a doctor had told him if he went ahead with his planned final show, he "wouldn't get through it", but he insisted on playing the gig anyway.

In November 2025, Sharon revealed that Ozzy was fondly remembered by King Charles III in a handwritten note to the BLACK SABBATH singer's family.

"Our King, now we're talking," Sharon said on the November 12, 2025 episode of "The Osbournes" podcast. "He is an amazing person, not just because he wrote to us when Ozzy passed, but if he did it for us, you know he does it for many, many, many people."

Sharon said that she was grateful for how kind King Charles had been to Ozzy over the years.

"He's got a good heart," Sharon continued. "He didn't have to do certain things that he's done for Ozzy in the past. Ozzy's birthday. When Ozzy was sick in hospital with the motorbike accident, he reached out. He is a good, caring man with a good heart."

Ozzy's death certificate revealed that died on July 22, 2025 of a heart attack. The certificate filed in London also said Osbourne suffered from coronary artery disease and Parkinson's disease.

A private funeral service for Ozzy was held on July 31, 2025 on the 250-acre grounds of the house the legendary BLACK SABBATH singer and his wife bought in 1993 in Buckinghamshire, England. Only 110 of the singer's friends and family members attended the service, including his SABBATH bandmates, Robert Trujillo (METALLICA),Rob Zombie, Zakk Wylde, Marilyn Manson and Corey Taylor (SLIPKNOT).

The day before the private funeral, thousands of fans gathered in the streets of Birmingham to pay tribute to Ozzy. Sharon, along with their children Aimée, Kelly and Jack, joined mourners for the emotional tribute.

A little over eight months ago, Ozzy reunited with the rest of the original BLACK SABBATH lineup — guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward — for what was his final performance at the "Back To The Beginning" charity concert in their original hometown of Birmingham, United Kingdom.

At "Back To The Beginning", Ozzy played a five-song set with his solo band — consisting of guitarist Zakk Wylde, bassist Mike Inez, keyboardist Adam Wakeman and drummer Tommy Clufetos — before being joined by Iommi, Butler and Ward for four classic SABBATH songs: "War Pigs", "Iron Man", "N.I.B." and "Paranoid".

Ozzy's solo set consisted of four songs from Osbourne's 1980 solo debut album "Blizzard Of Ozz" — "I Don't Know", "Mr. Crowley", "Suicide Solution" and "Crazy Train" — along with his 1991 "No More Tears" ballad "Mama, I'm Coming Home".

The 76-year-old heavy metal singer sang while seated on a black throne and appeared overcome with emotion at times. "You have no idea how I feel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart," he told the crowd.
