The sister of rock icon Ozzy Osbourne has shared the heartbreaking final text message she received from her brother before his death. Jean Osbourne opened up about the emotional exchange, revealing the poignant words that now serve as a lasting memory of their bond.
In an exclusive interview, Jean recounted the touching moment when she received the message from the Black Sabbath frontman. "It was just so typical of him," she said, her voice trembling with emotion. "Even in his final days, he was thinking of others."
The Last Goodbye
The text, which Jean described as "simple yet profound," contained Ozzy's characteristic humour mixed with his deep affection for his family. While she chose not to disclose the exact wording, Jean explained how the message perfectly captured her brother's spirit.
"That was Ozzy through and through," she said. "Funny, loving, and completely unique. I'll treasure those words forever."
A Brother's Legacy
Jean spoke fondly of growing up with the future rock star in their working-class Birmingham household. "People see the wild man of rock," she said, "but to me, he was just my little brother who loved music."
She shared touching anecdotes about their childhood, revealing how even then, Ozzy showed signs of his future talent. "He'd bang on pots and pans in the kitchen, driving our mum mad. Little did we know he'd be playing to millions one day."
The Family's Grief
Jean admitted the family is still coming to terms with their loss. "There'll never be another Ozzy," she said. "The world lost a legend, but we lost our brother, our uncle, our dad."
She praised the outpouring of love from fans worldwide, saying it has brought some comfort during this difficult time. "Knowing how much he meant to so many people helps," Jean added. "His music will keep him alive forever."
