Sharon Osbourne has revealed her late husband Ozzy's heartbreaking final words to her just moments before his death earlier this year.
The Black Sabbath frontman tragically passed away aged 76 on 22 July and his cause of death announced as cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease.
He left behind his wife of 43 years, Sharon, with whom he shared three children - Aimee, 42, Kelly, 40, and Jack, 39.
And less than a month before his death, the Prince of Darkness fulfilled his dream of performing one last time when on 5 July he took to the stage in front of 40,000 metal fans at Birmingham’s Villa Park.

Now, Sharon has revealed the details of his final day, including the last words he said to her and her reaction to finding out the tragic news.
As reported by The Sun, while talking to Piers Morgan in a tear-jerking interview for his Uncensored show, Sharon explained exactly what happened on 22 July.
She explained that he woke up at 4am and spoke to her before he died just 20 minutes later.
Sharon emotionally recalled: "He was up and down to the bathroom all night, and it was like 4.30 and he said, ‘Wake up’. I said, ‘I’m already bloody awake, you’ve woken me up’.
“And he said, ‘Kiss me’. And then he said, ‘Hug me tight’."
She continued: "I can’t help wondering if I should have, could I have? If only I’d have told him I loved him more. If only I’d have held him tighter.
"And he went downstairs, worked out for 20 minutes and passed away."
When Sharon went downstairs she 'screamed uncontrollably' when she saw Ozzy slumped in their home gym after he insisted he needed an early morning workout.
Recalling the devastating moment, she said during the interview: “He had a heart attack.
"I ran downstairs, and there he was, and they were trying to resuscitate him, and I’m like, ‘Don’t - just leave him. Leave him. You can’t. He’s gone’.
"I knew instantly he’d gone. And they tried and tried, and then they took him by helicopter to the hospital and they tried, and it’s like, ‘He’s gone. Just leave him’."
Sharon also recalled how Ozzy predicted his own death after having dreams it was the last week of his life.
She said: "He had told me that he was having dreams in the last week of his life. He was seeing people that he never knew.
"I said, ‘Well, what kind of people?’ He goes, ‘All different people. And I just keep walking and walking, and I’m seeing all these different people every night, and I go back there and I’m looking at these people, and they’re looking at me, and nobody’s talking’."
She emotionally added: "And he knew. He was ready."
