Sharon Osbourne has revealed her husband Ozzy\u2019s final words to her were asking her to \u201ckiss me\u201d and \u201chug me tight\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Black Sabbath frontman died aged 76 in July this year, having been diagnosed with Parkinson\u2019s disease in 2019.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Piers Morgan Uncensored, Sharon said Ozzy Osbourne died less than an hour later at the family\u2019s Buckinghamshire home.<\/p>\n

Remembering their last evening together, she recalled: \u201cHe was up and down to the bathroom all night, and it was like 4.30, and he said, \u2018Wake up\u2019. I said, \u2018I\u2019m already bloody awake, you\u2019ve woken me up\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd he said, \u2018kiss me\u2019. And then he said, \u2018hug me tight\u2019.<\/p>\n

She revealed the legendary rocker \u2014 whom she married in 1982 \u2014 \u201cworked out for 20 minutes and passed away\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had a heart attack,\u201d Sharon said of his final moments.<\/p>\n

\u201cI ran downstairs, and there he was, and they were trying to resuscitate him, and I\u2019m like, \u2018Don\u2019t \u2014 just leave him. Leave him. You can\u2019t. He\u2019s gone\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew instantly he\u2019d gone. And they tried and tried, and then they took him by helicopter to the hospital, and they tried, and it\u2019s like, \u2018He\u2019s gone. Just leave him.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the weeks before his death, Ozzy had taken to the stage for the Back To The Beginning concert, where he reunited with his bandmates at Birmingham\u2019s Villa Park.<\/p>\n

Sharon said doctors had warned he might not survive the performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we came to England and we were meeting with new doctors here, a new medical team for him, the main doctor said to him, \u2018If you do this show, that\u2019s it. You\u2019re not going to get through it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we just sat there, and he said, \u2018I\u2019m doing it. I want to do it, and I\u2019m doing it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Sharon added: \u201cHe just wanted it so bad to say thank you to everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following his death, fans laid flowers at the Black Sabbath Bench on Broad Street, and hundreds paid their respects during a cortege procession on July 30.<\/p>\n

Asked how she was coping in the aftermath of her husband\u2019s death, she said: \u201cEverything in my life now is like ish\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009it\u2019s OK, all right. I\u2019m OK. That\u2019s it for now. For so, so many years, we were intertwined.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very weird to me. You know, when you love someone that much and you\u2019re grieving for them, it\u2019s what I have to live with, and I\u2019ll get used to it. I will. I have to, you know, things move on.\u201d<\/p>\n

The interview comes weeks after the couple\u2019s son, Jack, and his wife Aree announced they are expecting their second child.<\/p>\n

It also follows Jack\u2019s recent exit from I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2026 Get Me Out Of Here! after a stint on the ITV1 reality show.<\/p>\n

Jack spoke about his late father while in the jungle, as viewers saw him become emotional after he had a \u201cdelicate day\u201d when he was reminded it had been four months since the death of the Black Sabbath frontman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sharon Osbourne has revealed her husband Ozzy\u2019s final words to her were asking her to \u201ckiss me\u201d and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":184773,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,93,61,60],"class_list":["post-184772","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184772","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=184772"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184772\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/184773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=184772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=184772"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=184772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
