The latest emotional text Ozzy Osbourne sent to Zakk Wylde

Few links in rock music rivaled with fraternity between Ozzy Osbourne And his longtime guitarist Zakk Wylde.

After the death of the Prince of Darkness on July 22 at the age of 76, Wylde has now talked about their last conversation, sharing an emotional text message that offers both the closure and an intestinal reminder of the sustainable heritage of Ozzy.

Talk to Guitar worldWylde recalled the last time he had heard of Ozzy Osbourne after the last performance of Black Sabbath at Villa Park in England on July 5.

“The last text I received from Oz said:” Zakky, sorry, was like a crazy house there. I didn’t see you. “He said:” Thank you for everything “. It was just talking to us, saying:” I love you, my friend. “That was all,” Wylde revealed.

Although the backstage is chaotic, Wylde thought he would have another chance of connecting. However, this opportunity never came.

“Everyone and their mother were behind the scenes, and I just wanted to give him a break,” he said. “I thought I would see it later, but it did not happen.”

Wylde described the show as “business as usual”, but stressed that the objective was always “to make sure that Oz was fine”.

He added: “It was really quite incredible. Seeing Oz on stage when Sabbath ended, it’s the last time I saw him.”

For Wylde, his connection with Ozzy Osbourne has never been simply professional; It was family.

“Ozzy is the godfather of our eldest son,” he shared. “Whether I played with him or not, if Sharon called me and my wife and said to me:” Guys, can you look at home while we went on a business trip? ” I would do it.

This deep personal loyalty defined their friendship for several decades, even during the years when Wylde was not part of the group.

Wylde joined Black Sabbath for the first time in 1987 and remained one of Ozzy’s closest collaborators, working with him throughout the 90s and in the early 2000s.

He returned to the No More Tours II race, which started in 2018, and was at the Ozzy team during his enthronement at rock and roll Hall of Fame in 2024.

By reflecting on these moments, Wylde expressed his gratitude for having been part of the driving and to witness the powerful presence of Ozzy until the end.

Sharon Osbourne was visibly emotional when she joined thousands of fans paying tribute to her late husband in the city center of Birmingham.

The 72 -year -old matriarch, supported by her children Kelly, Jack, Aimee and Louis of the first marriage of Ozzy, took the difficult walk of the growing memorial of flowers, cards and candles in honor of the legend of rock.

According to the Daily mailSharon appeared fragile and stumbled slightly as she left the van, tightening a bouquet wrapped in dark and a fabric in her hand.

Jack rushed quickly to stabilize her while Kelly was holding her hand, guiding her tribute to the sea. The fans bordering the street shouted: “We love you”, while it was fighting through its sorrow.

Vocious by emotion, Sharon has laid his flowers among the thousands already placed in memory of the leader of the Black Sabbath. Her children followed closely, adding their own sincere tributes before burying their mother again.

After laying their offers, the Osburnes returned quietly to the car, leaving behind a moving reminder of love and lasting loss.

Tributes covered the “black Sabbath bridge” on Broad Street, where sincere flowers and messages have been placed in his honor.

The cortege stopped on the site, allowing the Osbourne family to recognize the support of mourning fans.

Directing the procession was a Jaguar hearse wearing Ozzy during his last trip, adorned with a floral display striking in purple, his favorite color, which simply spelled “Ozzy”.
