It’s been 15 months since Ozzy Osbourne died, at the age of 76, at his home in Buckinghamshire.<\/p>\n
Although he had suffered from health problems for years, including Parkinson’s disease and a fractured vertebra, his death was a shock.<\/p>\n
Less than three weeks beforehand, he had been on stage in Birmingham, playing a triumphant farewell concert.<\/p>\n
After the show, he was on a high.<\/p>\n
“He was just so, so happy,” recalls his wife Sharon.<\/p>\n
“He was online, going through the reviews and saying, ‘There’s something terribly wrong’, and I’m like, ‘Why?’<\/p>\n
“He goes, ‘I didn’t get slagged by anybody. Why are people being nice to me?’<\/p>\n
“And I’m like, ‘Because they like you’.”<\/p>\n
On the morning he died, Ozzy had woken up early and gone downstairs for his usual morning workout. Shortly afterwards, he had a heart attack. An air ambulance was called and paramedics tried to save him. But it was too late.<\/p>\n
“I was asleep,” says Sharon.<\/p>\n
“We’d spoken in the night. Ozzy had woken in the night and he asked me to kiss him twice, and I did.<\/p>\n
“And then he said, ‘Hold me, hold me tight,’ and I did.<\/p>\n
“And then the next thing I know, it’s early in the morning, and someone comes rushing into the room saying, ‘Come down now’.<\/p>\n
“I ran down, and that was it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It’s been 15 months since Ozzy Osbourne died, at the age of 76, at his home in Buckinghamshire.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":814122,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-814121","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814121","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=814121"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814121\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/814122"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=814121"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=814121"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=814121"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
