OZZY Osbourne was warned by doctors that he wouldn’t survive his farewell gig before his tragic death.
The rocker went ahead with his farewell gig in Birmingham back in the summer, despite the advice from his doctors at the time, Sharon has now revealed.
In an emotional interview with her friend Piers Morgan on his Uncensored show, which will drop on Wednesday, Sharon opened up about the warnings from doctors that Ozzy would not survive the event.
Ozzy, 76, sadly passed away on July 22, with the cause of death later revealed to be a cardiac arrest.
Sharon insists that the rocker fully understood he was at the end of his life when he performed for the final time in Birmingham on July 5 – just days before his death.
Speaking to Piers on Uncensored, Sharon recalled how in the back of his mind, Ozzy knew the gig would be his final chapter.
Explaining to Piers, Sharon said: “Very much so, because he’d been so ill this year, terribly, terribly ill.
“And when we came to England and we were meeting with new doctors here, a new medical team for him, the main doctor said to him, ‘If you do this show, that’s it. You’re not going to get through it.’
“But we just sat there, and he said, I’m doing it. I want to do it, and I’m doing it.
“He knew his body was failing him. He was in so much pain, so much pain.
“And I mean, you know, he had pneumonia three times this year. He’d had sepsis.
“That’s what really, really destroyed him.
“He was on these shots of antibiotics. It used to take 20 minutes for the shot to go in, and he had that twice a day, and it kills everything in you, the Good, the Bad, everything, so much antibiotics, and he just couldn’t get over that. He just couldn’t.”
Asked by Piers, a close friend of the family, how he managed to muster the strength to perform – albeit in a specially made throne because he was no longer able to stand – she adds: “He just wanted it so bad to say thank you to everyone. And I think he honestly did know that, he, he was done.
“That was his time. He was so happy afterwards.
“He kept looking at the papers, and he goes to me, ‘I never knew so many people liked me,’ but that was the way he was.
“I mean, he knew he was famous, but not the amount that people loved him. It’s a whole different thing, and he was just so happy, so so happy.
“And for two weeks he was, you know, really, like every day was sunshine for him.
“Really, really happy, yeah, so happy, happier than we’d seen him in seven years.”
