Jack Osbourne reveals his mother, Sharon, has been struggling since the death of his father, Ozzy.
In a recent interview on “Good Morning America,” Jack Osbourne, the youngest son of legendary heavy metal musician Ozzy Osbourne, discussed the profound impact of his father’s passing and the outpouring of support his family has received. This revelation comes just before the release of Ozzy Osbourne’s posthumous autobiography, “Last Rites,” which aims to encapsulate the life and legacy of the heavy metal icon. Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away in July at the age of 76, left behind a significant mark on the music industry, particularly as the frontman of Black Sabbath.
During the interview, Jack Osbourne expressed his surprise at the overwhelming expressions of love and support following his father’s death, stating that none of the family anticipated such a response. He also elaborated on the emotional state of his mother, Sharon Osbourne, highlighting her mixed feelings of strength and heartbreak during this challenging time. Jack noted that while she is coping, she is still grappling with the deep emotional void left by his father’s absence.
Reflecting on his father’s final days, Jack Osbourne recalled a poignant moment before Ozzy’s “Back to the Beginning” concert, which took place shortly before his death. He described running to embrace his father backstage, imparting words of encouragement and feeling a sense of finality in that moment. Jack believes that concert served as a “living wake,” allowing his father to say goodbye to friends, family, and fans who had gathered to celebrate his illustrious career.
The concert, held in Birmingham, England, featured a ten-hour lineup and welcomed performances from Ozzy’s former Black Sabbath bandmates, as well as iconic acts like Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, and Anthrax. This monumental event underscored Ozzy’s lasting influence on the music scene and allowed many to pay tribute to a man whose contributions to heavy metal are unparalleled.
“Last Rites” is set to be released on Tuesday, coinciding with the premiere of the documentary “Ozzy: No Escape From Now” on Paramount+. The autobiography is expected to provide fans with an intimate look into Ozzy Osbourne’s life, struggles, and triumphs, continuing to celebrate the legacy of one of rock music’s most enduring figures. As the world reflects on his life and career, the Osbourne family remains grateful for the support they have received during this difficult time.
