Sharon Osbourne<\/a> has revealed that she didn\u2019t tell the other members of Black Sabbath<\/a> how sick Ozzy Osbourne<\/a> was leading up to \u201cBack to the Beginning,\u201d their final show together.<\/p>\n

This is despite the doctors\u2019 warnings of the potentially lethal consequences of going on with the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey advised us not to do the show,\u201d Sharon recently told Rolling Stone<\/a>. \u201cThey said it would kill him. We were all together and Ozzy said, \u2018It\u2019s not an option. It\u2019s what I want.\u2019 He said, \u2018I know I\u2019m dying. If I miss a few months of my life, I want to go this way. This is what I want.\u2019 It was his wishes and we went through with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Variety<\/a> reports, at a London screening of Ozzy & Black Sabbath: Back to the Beginning on Tuesday night, Osbourne elaborated more on the condition Ozzy was in prior to the performance and just how few people knew the severity of his sickness.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe guys didn\u2019t know how sick Ozzy was,\u201d she said during a Q&A session. \u201cI mean, even my kids \u2014 we never told my kids. So nobody knew how sick he was. He was just praying that his lungs would work and that he could sing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The performance, though, offered a much needed buoyancy to his spirit, Sharon described. \u201cHe was so happy,\u201d she said. \u201cUntil the day he passed, he was still on that high. He was so excited, so thankful to everyone. It was just joyous for us to see him that way, because we hadn\u2019t seen him that way in years. He was laughing, telling jokes again. It was brilliant.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ozzy performed solo and with Black Sabbath at the \u201cBack to the Beginning\u201d concert in Birmingham, England, on July 5th, 2025. He passed away 17 days later at the age of 76.<\/p>\n

Ozzy & Black Sabbath: Back to the Beginning<\/a>, the film capturing their final sets, as well as performances by Metallica, Guns N\u2019 Roses, Tool, Pantera, Alice in Chains, and more, will hit theaters on October 28th, with tickets available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
