So cool he got to play out the final show, rip legend
Wonder if he knew it was coming. Glad he got that farewell concert
He and Sharon have been longtime proponents of euthanasia. It’s entirely possible this was the plan all along.
Honestly, no judgment either way. Ozzy is a legend, and he died as he lived - on his own terms. RIP.
I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised what with the late-stage parkinson’s
symptoms usually begans around 60, so he would had for a while.
There’s a reason he came off so doddering on The Osbournes.
i looked more into the disease, apparently for some people the first symptoms are usually outside the brain, like loss of smell, or some GI issue, not all but some. one time i stumbled into a parkinsons forum, and some people said they began loss of smell
…
There were some comments he made after the show that really made it sound like he knew his time was up.
The emotions he had during a few of the songs, I chalked up to the finality of the performance at the time. Now I definitely feel it was something bigger he knew.
Singing about end-times in your twenties is cool and edgy. Bringing those same lyrics to his metaphorical death bed, hit totally different and it showed.
The radio show I was listening to while driving this morning said that concert felt like a tribute except he was technically alive and present.
Or maybe it was just a ‘shot in the dark’.
Me too. The man was a legend and a pioneer, and deserved nothing less. RIP Ozzy, it was fun having you in our lives.

Tearing up just typing it.

The Osbournes are a bunch of Trump supporters. After the (allegedly) staged assassination attempt, the whole family hopped on The Osbournes podcast to sing his praises. I grew up with this family but I was so disgusted by their comments that I immediately unsubscribed and haven’t followed anything Ozzy since…
Plus, his bitch wife is a grade-a asshole. Fired her many-year PA for not running BACK into a burning building to get her trinkets while he was in the back of an ambulance on a ventalator being treated for smoke inhalation from running in to the building to rescue her dog - which she’d left to burn. And she went on TV and gleefully recounted the story, laughing, because of what a good story it was.
Zero surprise she’s a Trumper.
…
Fuck.
I didn’t know that about him. I wish I still didn’t.
No shade on you. Thank you for bringing it up.
EDIT: I can’t find anything about Ozzy or the Osbournes supporting Donald Trump, and most of the articles I can find even regarding the two are Ozzy calling Trump an out-of-touch old fool and the Osbournes sending him a C&D over his use of Crazy Train (with a note suggesting he use music from artists that actually support him, like Kanye, Kid Rock, and Ted Nugent). That said, I did find a podcast episode where they talk about the assassination attempt, but the synopsis doesn’t say what they say about it. I guess I’ll have to listen to it and judge for myself, when I have the spoons to do so.
I’m not 100% sure but I think this is the episode I was referencing. Have a listen and let me know (don’t have time to check for myself; about to clock in for work):
Besides being a Trump supporter, Ozzy was also a huge backer of Israel.
Ozzy Osbourne and celebrities slam BBC for anti-Israel bias in Gaza coverage

allegedly staged? You don’t have to be conspiracy theorist to hate Trump…
I’m not a conspiracy theorist.
You have seen the footage from the newly released camera angle that was circulating a few days ago, right? Here it is with descriptive captions in case you haven’t:
Shocked he made it this long tbh. That’s a long life of going hard
I’m not sure that’s how I would describe his last 25 years. He was shuffling around on the Osbournes a quarter century ago looking a little worse for ware for someone in their early fifties.
I remember going to an ozzy concert around the time of the Osborne’s and he shuffled to the mic like an old man, and as soon as the music hit, he was running and jumping around stage like a madman. The concert was ozzy and Rob zombie so it was a great show, i also remember Rob zombie’s wife in a cage on stage
IIRC, those were early signs of his Parkinson’s disease, and he was untreated at that point. He was doing much better for a number of years after that show, once they figured out what was wrong with him and started him on a treatment plan.
It ain’t the years, it’s the mileage. - Indiana Jones
RIP
I prefer this one
It is better.
Or maybe just the second panel of the first one :‘’(.I just came across this one, part 3 I guess?
I like that idea
wow, that was an actual final show for the original sabbath.
Randy Rhoads?
He wasn’t an original Sabbath member. Ozzy, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward were the members. Rhoads was Ozzy’s guitarist when he went solo.
Ah - right. I got the timeline wrong.
Happens to the best of us. Ozzy was ready to go see him.

So long Ozzy. Thanks for all the metal.
Dang, one of the few that I feel most people actually get sad about. He did get to live a long life though, longer than anyone else would have with all the shit he’s done (don’t mean that in a bad way). Rock in peace you legend.
Iggy’s still performing…
Yeah but she was born in like 1990.
/s? Say /s please.
Of course /s.
was referring to Iggy Pop/Stooge b.1947 or so
seems you knew that…
Yeah I was making an Iggy azalea joke.
Yeah, it kinda feels like he doesn’t count though, he’s more like a demigod. Ozzy was kinda that too, but always felt like he had a human element that Iggy hasn’t, also don’t mean any of this in a bad way.
Seen both live a couple of times, superb shows even though I’m not a major fan of either’s music. Definitely appreciate the music and have no issues with it, just not my goto.
RIP to the Prince of Darkness

Man, he made one last farewell before he joined the ferryman. This deserves all the respect he got. Fuckin legend!
Charon! Charon!

How do you get that wrong?
In case you’re serious
dude
He made it to the average expectancy. Considering he was anything but “average” he made it a lot longer than most I think expected.
R.I.P Hellraiser. May you rock out in the afterlife with Dio, Lemmy, Cliff and all the others we have lost. Forgive us for though you said ‘No More Tears’ we shed this loss. Rest easy.
Thank you, Ozzy. R.I.P.
