Jack Osbourne Opens Up on Learning About Ozzy’s Passing
Jack Osbourne has finally shared, in an emotional return to his podcast, how he learned about the death of his father, the legendary Ozzy Osbourne. Speaking with honesty and raw emotion, Jack painted a vivid picture of those final days and the shock of receiving the devastating news.
He explained that his last week with Ozzy was unexpectedly special. After his father’s “Back to the Beginning” farewell concert in Birmingham, Jack had stayed behind with his kids. The family had initially planned a trip to Portugal, but a bout of stomach flu forced them to cancel and instead spend the week at Ozzy and Sharon’s home. In hindsight, Jack felt deeply grateful for that twist of fate. He described how Ozzy was in high spirits, reading glowing reviews from the concert, enjoying family time, and being in one of the best moods Jack had seen in a long while. That week, Jack said, now feels priceless.

But only a short time after returning to Los Angeles, everything changed. Jack recalled waking up at 3:45 in the morning to a knock on the door. When he saw who it was—a longtime family employee who had been with them for three decades—he immediately knew something was wrong. It was then that he was told Ozzy had passed away. Jack described the overwhelming sadness, the flood of emotions, and the immediate pain of the moment. Yet, amidst the grief, he also felt a sense of relief knowing his father was no longer suffering.
Jack acknowledged that Ozzy had been struggling with health challenges in recent years, and while fans may have noticed his difficulties on stage, no one expected his passing to come so suddenly. Still, he found comfort in the timing. Ozzy’s farewell concert had given him the chance to say goodbye to the world in a powerful, meaningful way. As Jack put it, “There is almost a perfection to it.”
He also took a moment to dismiss rumors that Ozzy had been planning to end his own life after the show, calling those claims “categorically untrue.” According to Jack, his father had been happy, looking forward to spending more time in England, more time with his grandchildren, and simply enjoying a quieter chapter of life.
Reflecting on his father’s legacy, Jack spoke with love and pride. He described Ozzy as “a special guy” who meant the world to so many people. What stood out most to Jack was the outpouring of love and support after his father’s death—the common thread being that Ozzy was loved. He closed with a thought inspired by a quote from Keanu Reeves: while no one can know what happens after death, what is certain is that those who love you will miss you the most. And for Ozzy Osbourne, the love and the loss are undeniable.
