The devastating text message that Ozzy Osbourne sent before passing away at the age of 76 has been made public by his sister.

Ozzy’s family said on Tuesday, July 22, that he passed away tragically at the age of 76, “surrounded by love.”

Ozzy’s family released a statement after his passing.

It read: “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.”

“We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”

Aimee, Kelly, and Jack, as well as Ozzy’s wife Sharon, are left behind. In addition, his grandkids and Jessica and Louis, from his previous marriage to Thelma Riley, survive him.

Jean Powell, Ozzy’s sister, has now talked about her brother and their most recent conversation.

“We saw him in Birmingham the other week when he and the rest of the band were given the freedom of the city,” Jean told the Daily Mirror.

“It was upsetting because he could not stand up straight, but he was still our John, still cracking the jokes.”

“To us he was our brother, not a celebrity, so it’s crazy to see the outpouring of love since his death was announced.”

“We just can’t believe he is gone and we won’t be getting another phone call or text from him. Every week without fail he would get in touch, either by phone or text, to ask how we were all doing and what was going on.”

According to Jean, they last saw Ozzy, whose true name is John Michael Osbourne, at the Back to the Beginning event.

“He was frail but it still came as a shock,” said Jean. “He still had plans and things he wanted to do. We don’t know the details of his death, it’s still too early. It’s just so sad. I’m just thankful he died in England.”

“We had an executive box in the stadium, and when I saw the sea of people waiting to see our John I just broke down.”

“We didn’t really get a chance to chat much because it was such a chaotic visit. But in his last text to me he said he would be coming to Birmingham again. He said ‘I can’t wait to come back’. We were hoping to see him this week.”

The information was made public following the announcement of Osbourne’s death on July 22 by his family, which included Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and Louis.

Only a few weeks after his final performance, in which he rejoined Black Sabbath for a show at Villa Park in the UK, Osbourne passed away.

While performing to a crowd of 42,000 fans, the singer said: “You’ve no idea how I feel – thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Osbourne said in January 2020 that he had received a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, a degenerative neurological disorder that mostly impairs movement.
