The world is mourning the loss of heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away on July 22, 2025, at his home in Buckinghamshire. Just weeks before his planned final live performance, Ozzy’s sudden death shocked fans across the globe—but the most touching tribute came from his family.

“I Can’t Wait to Come Back”: Ozzy’s Final Text

In an emotional interview with The Mirror, Ozzy Osbourne’s sisters, Jean Powell (85) and Gillian Hemming (80), revealed the last text message they received from their brother. While driving down Lodge Road in Birmingham—a street where they all grew up—Ozzy sent Jean a message that simply read:

“I can’t wait to come back.”

This bittersweet message came just days after the Black Sabbath frontman was honored with the Freedom of the City of Birmingham. Jean and Gillian shared how moved Ozzy was by the massive crowd of fans lining the streets to see him one last time.

“He Was Still Our John”

For his family, Ozzy Osbourne wasn’t just a global icon—he was “our John.” Jean recounted how her brother could barely stand, but still cracked jokes and smiled at fans. She broke down in tears at the stadium, overwhelmed by the sight of thousands of people there to honor her brother.

“Every week without fail, he’d call or text to check in. We just can’t believe he’s gone,” she said.

Death Details Still Unknown

Although Ozzy had battled Parkinson’s disease since 2003, his passing came as a devastating surprise. According to Mail Online, emergency services were called at 10:30 AM on July 22. Thames Valley Air Ambulance was dispatched but sadly, Ozzy was pronounced dead surrounded by family.

Family Statement

His wife Sharon and their children issued a joint statement:

“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we report the passing of our beloved Ozzy Osbourne. He was with his family and surrounded by love.”

Just two days before his death, daughter Kelly Osbourne shared a video of the family enjoying breakfast together. Ozzy looked happy, even waving to the camera.

💔 A Legacy That Will Never Die

Ozzy Osbourne’s legacy as the Prince of Darkness and a pioneer of heavy metal will live on. But for his family, especially his sisters, he’ll always be remembered as the loving brother who never missed a call.

This wasn’t just the end of a music era—it was the loss of a brother, a father, and a friend.
