The Osbourne family recently spoke out against individuals claiming to have had conversations with Ozzy Osbourne at his final show, as discussed on The Osbournes. The family expressed frustration over unofficial merchandise and false claims being made in the wake of Ozzy’s passing.
Jack Osbourne raised the concern directly. He asked: “Since dad’s passing, have has there been any kind of vulturey types?”
Sharon Osbourne explained the broader issue. Various opportunists have emerged following Ozzy’s death. “You’ve got all the merch people that come out and, you know, doing this stuff that’s all unofficial and whatever,” she said.
Kelly Osbourne highlighted a more serious problem. People are falsely attributing statements to their father. “And people claiming that dad said things to them that he never said,” Kelly stated.
Sharon emphasized that the family knows exactly who Ozzy spoke to at his last show. Those individuals had to visit him in his dressing room. “Everybody gets on the bandwagon. He said to me this at the last show and he said to me that. Who did Ozzy talk to at the last show? I know the people he spoke to because they had to come into the dressing room to see him. So, we know who he spoke to,” Sharon explained.
Kelly concluded by confirming that some individuals have made specific false claims about conversations with Ozzy. “And there’s been a couple people and I don’t know whether we want to name names, but have said that dad said certain things to them at the last show that we know he he never said.”
The family’s protective stance becomes more meaningful when considering the significance of Ozzy’s final appearance. Ozzy Osbourne’s final concert performance took place on July 5, 2025, at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, during the “Back to the Beginning” benefit concert, as reported by Ultimate Classic Rock. This historic event marked both a farewell to his solo career and a reunion with his original Black Sabbath bandmates.
The concert was a monumental occasion in rock history. The event lasted approximately ten hours and featured numerous artists, according to Wikipedia. Osbourne’s set included solo hits and concluded with a Black Sabbath reunion. Due to Parkinson’s disease, Ozzy performed while seated on a throne, making the performance all the more poignant for fans and family alike.
The emotional weight of that final show cannot be overstated. Ozzy’s final solo live song was “Crazy Train,” and he concluded his performance with “Paranoid,” marking the end of an era for the Prince of Darkness, as documented by Ultimate Classic Rock. Just seventeen days after this farewell performance, on July 22, 2025, Osbourne passed away, making the Villa Park concert his definitive final appearance on stage.
Given the intimate and controlled nature of this farewell event, the Osbourne family’s frustration with fabricated stories becomes understandable. They were present for every meaningful moment of Ozzy’s last show and know precisely who had access to him during that historic day. The family’s insistence on protecting the truth about what was actually said during those final hours reflects their desire to preserve the authentic legacy of Ozzy’s remarkable career and his dignified farewell to the stage.
