The final video taken of Ozzy Osbourne, where he’s seen having breakfast with his family two days before his death, has emerged.
The legendary musician, 76, passed away on Tuesday at his home in Buckinghamshire, UK, surrounded by his family, after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease.
Shortly before his death, his daughter Kelly shared a sweet video of him on her Instagram Story.
In it, Ozzy is sitting at a table, wearing a pair of headphones and using a tablet, with his daughter and her two-year-old son, Sidney.
Kelly, 40, is seen saying “good morning” into the camera before panning it to her father, prompting him: “Dadda, say good morning”, which he obliges.
It comes after new details emerged of Ozzy’s death, with the Daily Mail reporting that paramedics “worked for hours” to save his life, after rushing to his mansion via helicopter.
A Thames Valley air ambulance reportedly landed in a field near the English countryside home at 10:30am Tuesday, local time, with medics rushing inside to respond to the call for help.
The outlet claimed the medics worked for two hours to try and save the rocker’s life, but to no avail.
“We can confirm that our helicopter was dispatched to provide advanced critical care at an incident near Chalfont St Giles yesterday,” a spokesman for Thames Valley air ambulance confirmed to the Daily Mail.
News of Ozzy’s passing was confirmed in a statement released by his loved ones on Tuesday, which confirmed he had been “with his family and surrounded by love”.
“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,” the statement read.
“He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”
It was signed: “Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.”
Black Sabbath also paid tribute to their late lead singer on Instagram after the news broke, writing alongside an image of him onstage: “Ozzy Forever.”
Osbourne, known as the “Prince of Darkness” for his wild on stage antics, performed his final gig with his Black Sabbath bandmates just this month on 5 July in Villa Park in Birmingham.
The band – including Osbourne, Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward – played a short five-song set, which was touted as “the greatest heavy metal show ever”.
At the time, he made it clear it would be his final performance as a result of his deteriorating health related to Parkinson’s disease, which he’d first opened up about in 2020.
It was the first time he had performed with Black Sabbath for 20 years.
