Ozzy Osbourne wanted to spend more time with his wife, Sharon Osbourne, after wrapping up his farewell concert a few weeks before his death.
In the newly released documentary “Ozzy: No Escape from Now,” the late Black Sabbath rocker opened up about his retirement plans ahead of the July 5th concert at Villa Park Stadium in Birmingham, England.
“I’m looking forward to getting this gig over, hanging my mic up and spending some time with [Sharon]. After this gig, we’re free,” he said, per People.
Sharon, 73, agreed with Ozzy, saying, “I just want to live a life. That’s all I want to do.”
The “Paranoid” crooner shared that it was “time” to hang up his mic, adding, “I didn’t think I was gonna live past 40. I shouldn’t have lived past 40. But I did.”
“And if my life’s coming to an end, I really can’t complain. I’ve had a great life.”
Ozzy’s documentary — streaming on Paramount+ — walks fans through his final years, including the lead-up to his farewell concert and the complications he experienced from his health issues.
The “Crazy Train” singer, who died on July 22 at the age of 76, performed one last time with his bandmates — Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward — during a 10-hour show with performances by Metallica, Guns N’ Roses and Jack Black.
Page Six exclusively revealed the final show “filled him with life.”
Ozzy previously told Rolling Stone that he had wanted to perform one last time because he “never got the chance to say goodbye or thank you” to his fans.
According to Ozzy’s death certificate, he passed away from a heart attack, and his battle with Parkinson’s disease was also listed as a cause of death.
He dealt with a series of health issues before his death, and underwent neck and spine surgery following a fall in 2019.
The procedure, however, messed with the metal rods already in his body from a 2003 bike accident.
In his documentary, the “Iron Man” rocker admitted he contemplated suicide after the botched surgery left him with more issues.
Then in 2020, Ozzy was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and underwent spinal surgery in 2022.
The following year, the hitmaker shared he only had 10 more years to live after the procedure left him “virtually crippled.”
