After Ozzy Osbourne finished his farewell concert weeks before his death, he wanted to spend more time with his wife, Sharon Osbourne.
In the newly released documentary Ozzy: No Escape From Now, the late Black Sabbath rocker revealed his retirement plans ahead of his July 5th concert at Villa Park Stadium in Birmingham, England.
“I’m looking forward to putting down the microphone and spending time with[Sharon]after this show. After this show, we’ll be free,” he said, according to People.
Sharon, 73, agreed with Ozzy, saying: “I just want to live my life. That’s all I want to do.”
The “Paranoid” singer said it was “time” to hang up the mic, adding, “I never thought I would live past 40. I shouldn’t have lived past 40. But I did.”
“If my life is coming to an end, I can’t complain. I’ve had a great life.”
Ozzy’s documentary, available to stream on Paramount+, takes fans through his later years, including his preparation for his farewell concert and the complications he experienced from health issues.
The “Crazy Train” singer, who died on July 22 at the age of 76, performed one last time with bandmates Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward in a 10-hour show that included performances from Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Jack Black and more.
Page Six exclusively revealed that the final show “filled him with life.”
Ozzy previously told Rolling Stone that he wanted to perform one last time because he “didn’t get a chance to say goodbye or thank you” to his fans.
Ozzy’s death certificate stated that he died of a heart attack, and that his battle with Parkinson’s disease was also listed as a cause of death.
He suffered from a series of health issues before his death and underwent neck and spine surgery after a fall in 2019.
However, this procedure damaged a metal rod that was already in his body from a 2003 bicycle accident.
In the documentary, the “Iron Man” rocker admitted he considered suicide after a botched surgery left him with further problems.
Then, in 2020, Ozzy was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and underwent spinal surgery in 2022.
The following year, the hitmaker said he only had 10 years to live after the surgery left him “virtually crippled.”
