    Ozzy Osbourne felt "ready" to die shortly before he passed away

    The former Black Sabbath frontman died in July, aged 76, and his wife Sharon has now opened up about the last few days of his life.


    During an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Sharon shared: "He had told me that he was ¬having dreams in the last week of his life. He was seeing people that he never knew.
    "I said, ‘Well, what kind of ¬people?’ He goes, ‘All different people. And I just keep walking and walking, and I’m seeing all these different people every night, and I go back there and I’m looking at these people, and they’re looking at me, and nobody’s talking’. And he knew. He was ready."
    Sharon - who married Ozzy back in 1982 - also recalled details of their final evening together.
    The 72-year-old TV star said: "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’.
    "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."
    Ozzy died after suffering a heart attack, and Sharon "knew instantly" that her husband had passed away.
    She said: "He had a heart attack.
    "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’."
    Ozzy passed away on July 22, following a series of health problems and having been diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2019.
    His family said in a statement at the time: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love."
