Ozzy!

Are we doing it now or what? I'm falling over, Boo.

I just got off a plane.

You slept. I haven't slept since...

Well, I didn't sleep. My eyes were closed.

You snore when you pretend to sleep, you know?

I've got to make some food. I'm starving.

We should start off with things I can eat,

rather than what I can't eat,

which isn't a great deal.

Bland food, no fried food,

no greasy food, no fatty food,

no dairy products, no ice cream,

no fucking sugar stuff.

No cakes.

It's stuff that so many people have to do.

But I don't like it. Where are the good old days?

They've fucking gone, mate.

And what did you used to eat in the good old days?

Booze. And I'm still here!

You can have lovely fresh vegetables.

Yes, and...

And you can eat baked potatoes, boiled potatoes.

- Yeah. - You can have any kind of fish.

- Yeah. - And you can have chicken.

- Yeah. - And turkey.

And that's it.

You can have some pasta. Sure.

And...

You can have olive oil.

Oh, fucking great,

I'll have a pint of olive oil

and a fucking turkey sandwich to go, please.

Do you want to go through this schedule?

Yeah, all right.

- Do you mind? - No, no, sure.

We're not doing too many,

but in between everything that's going on,

- you're gonna be doing phoners. - Okay.

For interviews. Like you're doing Masahito in Japan.

- Yeah, okay. - All right?

You know, that's with a translator.

- What? Yeah, yeah. - With a translator.

And you're gonna be doing a lot for Germany, Australia.

You're going to be doing The Observer in England.

You're gonna be doing Rolling Stone,

then you're gonna be doing a commercial.

- What? - A commercial.

- Yeah, okay. - All right?

And then People magazine

are going to spend a couple of days with you.

- Okay. - All right?

- Yep. - Okay.

- Are you all right about it? - Yeah, yeah.

Okay. All right, and I wanted to show you these too. Hold on.

You keep telling me it's...

I can't... You haven't seen it.

You're testy today, Ozzy. Very testy.

What's up? What's up?

Nothing, Shaz, nothing. Are we done now?

Do you want to know about everything

- or is this enough for today? - That's enough.

Okay. All right then.

He'll wake up one day and he's really up,

and he's walking great and everything is fine

and he's up mentally, and then, boom,

the next day he's like down and doesn't want to talk,

says he's having trouble walking and down.

But for me, it's not that he has trouble walking now.

He's just depressed. He's so depressed.

Part of it is like massive depression.

He's on-- Can you believe this, what he's doing now?

He does it on purpose. He knows.

He's just being a prick.

So, I mean, look, he has gone through hell and back.

He's gone through so much pain with these operations.

And, you know, I think to myself, "My God."

When you're still capable of performing,

and something takes that away from you

and that excitement of going on stage and the travel,

and you've had that year after year after year

and then it's gone, it's like you wake up.

It's like he woke up and he was a different guy

because that whole part of his life's just gone. You know?

In this shockingly evil crime,

- the search for the bodies... - He's-- Look at him.

...discovered buried in undergrowth

and have been there for many years.

Attributed to the convicted...

...a gruesome mass murder...

Oh, it won't be anything fun he's listening to.

He will either watch murderers,

okay, World War II or Vietnam.

That's the kind of array. So that doesn't make you happy.

If you wake up

and you look at the Holocaust at 8:00 in the morning,

it kind of sets the tone for the day.

Don't forget the Ronnie James Dio interviews.

The Ronnie James Dio interviews,

and it's like, "Why are you watching Ronnie?"

And he goes, "Ah, I feel sorry for him

and I feel terrible and I never really..."

'Cause he never really listened to any of those records at all

and he never-- he never knew Ronnie, you know.

The first time he met him,

I think, was when he tried to stab him at the Rainbow.

So that was...

With a fork.

It wasn't a knife. It was a fork.

So he never really knew the guy and never knew his music

and so he feels really bad.

So, he watches Ronnie James Dio's interviews,

and I'm like, "What the fuck are you doing?"

Is he dreaming?

Look, he's dreaming. Bless him.

- What's happening? - Ozzy. Ozzy.

- You're speaking in your sleep. - What?

- You're... - Too loud?

No, no, no, it's not too loud.

You're speaking in your sleep. You're having a chat.

What?

It's okay, darling. It's okay.

- What? - It's not too loud.

You're fine.

Ozzy! Ozzy! Ozzy!

Are you ready?

Let me hear the people in the very back!

Now let me hear the people at the side!

Can I have a cushion behind my back?

- Okay, there we go. - Second six.

Yeah, 'cause I'll sink into this.

Ozzy take one.

He got a staph infection in his neck.

And then later on in the tour,

he got one on his thumb.

They put him in hospital. He was on an antibiotic drip.

And his immune system was so flawed, we canceled the dates.

And then we were trying to re-route the tour

to make up those dates that he missed.

And then on February 2nd, Ozzy fell.

And that was it.

I went to the bathroom and I kind of,

I didn't put the light on, it was pitch black.

I thought, "Oh, the bed's there," but the bed was there.

I went smack.

I don't know if you've ever tripped

and your hands hit the floor

and your head hits the floor

and you instinctively know you've done fucking damage.

I heard the thud of his body

and his head hitting that floor,

and was just like, "Oh, God."

I always stay in the position and check myself out,

see if there's anything trickling

down the back of my neck or anything.

And I lay there and I say,

"Sharon, please call an ambulance.

I think I've fucked my neck up."

It was the middle of the night and I get a phone call saying

that he's been rushed to the hospital.

It was a bad fall and they don't know what--

You know, he's hurt his neck.

He was in great distress

and in a lot of-- a lot of pain

and I think obviously very afraid.

I can't imagine many people

are used to seeing their parents like that.

I think it was like a Friday or Saturday night.

It was like a fucking war zone

and people were holding towels

with blood coming out their heads.

It was pandemonium

and Sharon was fucking screaming at people.

He was in the midst of all of that,

which was quite shocking

'cause he's had many accidents that I've witnessed.

But you could tell this one was not one

he was necessarily going to get away with in the same way.

He eventually got seen. They took an X-ray.

And they said, "We can see bruising,

but he's fine, go home."

Next day, he couldn't move his arms.

We went to another hospital.

They did another scan, like a proper MRI,

and they found that he'd broken his fucking neck.

And it's just insane to me

that they let him out of the first hospital anyway.

And that was it. The surgeon said,

"If he doesn't have this operation, if he falls again,

he'll be a paraplegic."

He told me that after I had that fall,

the channel where my spinal cord goes down had squashed it.

So I thought, "Fuck this."

Had the surgery, woke up completely fucked.

To be honest, I thought,

"What the fuck have they done to me?"

'Cause I never thought the surgeon could do wrong.

Going into surgery, I was there and he was laughing.

He was in his hospital bed,

supposedly with a broken neck, dancing.

Let's call the surgery off. He's healed.

And he comes out of this surgery

and he's far worse than when he went in.

I watched my dad go from being able to sit up...

to I'm like-- I'm sorry to say this,

but I can't think of anything else.

Having posture like fucking Gollum. Like that.

He was in hospital for weeks.

He was in great discomfort and really grieving

and I think just in a lot of shock.

Also traumatized,

to fall like that and go through that

and then not be able to bounce back like he had in the past

and then having to cancel the tour.

That was really, I think, his biggest heartbreak.

So, after three months,

we brought him home.

But the pain just never subsided.

It was unbearable constantly.

And I know Ozzy's a drama queen.

He'll do anything for a pain pill.

But it was for real.

I mean, you can look in someone's eyes and know.

It's a pain that no matter what you do,

it's always there.

When you're in a certain amount of pain,

it affects your thought pattern and everything.

You can't enjoy anything.

The screws that they had put in Ozzy were coming loose

and chipping the bones against the bones.

So, under Ozzy's spinal cord,

there was damage because of the bone fragments

that were rubbing up and down on the spinal cord.

So, it was just like one thing after another after another.

And while he was in hospital

for three months, he developed blood clots.

So, then we had the blood clots to deal with.

He thought his recovery would be the same

as when he fell off the quad bike.

"Hang around for a couple months,

and then I'll be back to, you know..."

But he was 50-what, 55 then?

And he's in his 70s now,

and the body's ability to recover

drastically changes in that amount of time.

And he just thought,

"I'll hang out and I'll be back up and running

and I'll be back on the road sooner than later."

But the pain never went away.

We're kind of raised to believe

that doctors are superheroes, in a way.

And although they're very skilled, some of them,

a lot of them really don't have the answers.

And I think for him at times, he checked out a bit,

'cause he just felt like,

"Okay, there are too many cooks in the kitchen

and no one knows what they're doing."

So I think, as self-protection, anyone would.

♪ Just like the tears You never show... ♪

I just remember thinking,

"What can I do to help?"

The only thing I could think of that would make him happy

is if he was doing some sort of musical project of something.

And I got a call from a guy

that I kind of knew

but didn't really know that well, Andrew Watt,

and he asked me if he would like to do a song

with Post Malone.

Post would come to LA, hate being in the scene of LA.

That's why he doesn't live here. And he was like,

"Where can I go to just like

listen to fucking good music that I like and have a beer?"

And I'm like,

"I'm gonna bring you to the most classic place in LA."

I brought him to the Rainbow Bar and Grill.

♪ I feel you crumble In my arms ♪

♪ Down to your Heart of stone ♪

Post had a great night of drinking at the Rainbow

and bought this photo of Ozzy off the wall,

and then walked to the studio

with this photo of Ozzy under his arm.

And I was like, "Oh, my God. Post and Ozzy."

I'm like, "Wait, Post and Ozzy?

What if Post and Ozzy do a song together? That would be sick."

I talked to Post about it. He thought it was a great idea,

but it got put on hold kind of for a while

because Ozzy was not doing well.

♪ Take what you want and go

Kind of months went by and then I got another call from Andrew,

and he's like, "No, I really think

that your dad should do the song."

And I said, "I do too."

But it's, like, how am I gonna get him into the studio?

And then finally, he got to a place

where he was so bored that he was like,

"Okay, I'll go to the studio."

♪ Why don't you take What you want from me ♪

♪ Take what you need from me Take what you want and go ♪

♪ I never needed Anything from you ♪

That was the best medicine I ever had at that point.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's fucking Ozzy fucking Osbourne!

Kelly was very emotional.

She was like, "My dad fell down, he's been sick,

he's been in the house for six months

and he hasn't been out and done anything.

And that was my dad again. Oh, my God.

He was having a great time."

I'm like, "Of course, he's making music.

He's doing what he loves to do."

Immediately, the light bulb went off

over mine and Andrew's heads.

It's like, "Fuck, let's do an Ozzy album."

And so that turned into Ordinary Man.

Kelly said to me one afternoon, she said,

"Would you like to make a record?"

I looked at her and I thought, "What the fuck's she on about?"

"Andrew Watt, he would like to do a record with you."

So that was basically it.

And the next, no time at all, we'd done an album.

I took Dad to the studio every single day,

and it was a really fun process and it was really great to

watch my dad come alive again.

You've got to remember,

it was done while he was very sick.

It gave him something to take his mind off his body for once.

He would go into the studio

in the basement of Andrew's house and he'd get comfortable

in this chair that Andrew bought him.

And it was like the magic would begin.

I do think that Ordinary Man is less an Ozzy Osbourne album

and more a John Osbourne album.

I think it-- There's a lot of themes in it

of kind of processing his own kind of life and mortality

and kind of what he's facing

and it was less, you know, madman,

less biting heads off bats. It wasn't the madman.

It was, you know, just kind of where he was in that time.

He had a dream

of getting out of the situation that he'd been born into,

and he had a dream

of being a musician.

And he achieved that.

♪ I was unprepared for fame ♪

♪ Then everybody Knew my name... ♪

And that's what he was saying in the song.

He didn't want to die a nobody.

I'd come from nothing.

I was the kid on the street

my parents couldn't afford it every time.

If you're left the kid without the ice cream,

It's definitely traumatic.

It's being one of six kids.

Where do you come in that line of six kids?

School was just a place to be bullied, a place to get kicked

and told, "You're filthy and go home."

And he always says to me, "I was afraid the whole time."

I've always got these fucking voices in my head

telling me I'm going to fail.

I've had them all my life.

I used to call them "the committee," you know.

It stemmed from my childhood, you know.

When I was a kid, I used to play this game with myself,

that I'd run down Witton Road

and if my feet touched a paving stone with a crack,

something bad would probably happen.

But sometimes, they're right, you know.

There is something fucking bad there.

The record was a huge success,

and I think it touched a lot of people's hearts.

You and me, we're Mr. and Mrs. Snotty.

Tell you what, you wouldn't be sitting outside

in England like this...

...this time of the year.

I knew that was coming.

The weather's pretty cool and nice here, not so fucking cold.

But we don't go out anywhere.

Why do you want to buy a fucking expensive house

and not use it?

Remember Cilla Black? She lived up the road.

Cilla Black?

She got a home invasion in England.

But this was a hundred fucking years ago!

But it still happened in England!

Oh, God, Ozzy, that's one of a million things,

and millions of things happen here.

We got robbed in England.

Yes, we did get robbed in England.

And I caught him.

You let him go.

Well, I was stark bullock naked at 2:00 in the morning,

what else am I going to do? Bring him in for a cocktail?

Ah, no, you could have brought him in,

and we could have called the police

All of a sudden, he makes a run for the window,

and I've got him around the neck,

and he's sort of getting out of the window,

and I give him a little bit of friendly help out the window.

He didn't like it much.

We didn't know this,

but previously people had been into the house

and got in through another window while we were away,

and they were coming in just to look at the place.

It is really, really horrible.

And the thing is that they came into the bedroom

when I was asleep

and took my rings from beside the bedroom.

And it's weird thinking that you're asleep

and somebody's right by you.

And you don't wake up.

It's horrible.

Are you nearly done?

Ozzy?

- What? - Are you nearly done?

- Done with what? - With that target.

No, I've got loads of them to do.

When he sits and he's shooting guns,

I think it's a meditation for him.

He slows himself down. He controls his breathing.

It's very grounding.

And I think it brings him a sense of independence

'cause he doesn't need to rely on anyone.

He has to rely on everyone for everything right now.

Do they do a machine gun that's pellets?

I think so.

Wouldn't it be quicker to get a machine gun?

But the whole point of target practice,

it's just something to relax you.

If you got a fucking machine gun,

it's like saying, "I play darts with a fucking machine gun."

No, with a bow and arrow.

- I love you, Boo. - Love you too.

Quiet!

He was delicate, but every month,

instead of getting stronger, he got weaker.

So, it was seeing him come into a room like this,

and then as every month went by,

he would be like this, fading, fading, fading.

The surgery was supposed to stabilize

and it just seemed to trigger more injuries

below the initial injury.

The pain never stopped.

He went from one surgeon to another to another

all over the country, looking for help.

Also, just listening to him as well,

because, you know, he knows his body.

He knows how he feels,

and he just kept saying, "Something's not right."

Watch the dogs don't get out, please.

We finally found a surgeon that said,

"They were overly aggressive with your operation.

They've done stuff that you didn't need doing."

And what this other surgeon had done was

he'd put plates either side with all these screws,

and apparently that didn't need to be done.

So, he caused even more damage.

They took out the metal plates

and the eight screws that were in Ozzy

and tried to patch up as much as he could.

But, you know, the main damage was done.

I must have had more fucking surgeries

than I ever dreamed I would be having in my life.

So, I mean, you get off your back,

you climb up that mountain again,

and you get to the top and you get kicked back down.

So, you get a bit--

You lose a bit of your self-confidence, you know.

Having to cancel the tour,

he was devastated, 'cause I think he wasn't prepared

to know how to deal

with that kind of grief and disappointment,

and he just started to feel worse through that period.

So I think, again, it just was...

soul-destroying for him.

And then at that time, the depression was so bad.

It just, you know, it would be like,

'What's the point in even getting up? I'm not getting up.

I'm not working with the physiotherapist.

What's the point?"

He wouldn't even draw. He wouldn't go shoot his gun.

He wouldn't do anything. He was just miserable.

He was like, "I've got no escape. I'm stuck in this."

And he's just looking for a way out.

I said to Sharon, "Look, baby, I'm sorry I'm a burden to you."

And she's like, "What the fuck are you talking about?"

But that's what I felt. I'm not good at being sick.

I hate the fact that I can't do anything for myself.

Plus, I have not been on my own for fucking four years.

What I end up doing is sitting in the toilet reading a book

just to be on my own, just to--

just so that I'm, you know, head up and all.

It's like you don't get-- We all need

a little bit of space for ourselves, not to be isolated,

but just to go, "Fucking hell."

But it's like, you shouldn't lean forward

and people are firing at things they shouldn't be.

And I wanna go, "Why don't you all fuck off?"

But you can't do that because you can't be left on your own.

It's like--

I don't like being on my own all the time,

but I don't like being with people all the time, you know?

I think, you know, the longer he realizes

the one side of his life where he could run around the stage

and... be independent...

You don't need anybody to help you get up or down

or pick something up off the floor.

That's gone.

His life has been a different city every day.

You know, 20,000 people a night,

constantly bombarded with loud rock music

and private planes and all this crazy shit.

And suddenly, he's on the couch every day, all day, for years.

And it's soul-destroying

watching how soul-destroying that is for him.

Some days that he wishes he was dead.

He's in so much pain, he can't take it.

He just wishes he could go.

So...

The thought of not doing any gigs anymore,

I went really into depression.

I'm on antidepressants now, actually.

I was getting fucking ready to off myself at some point.

But then I'll go there in my head and I go,

"What are you fucking talking about?"

Because knowing me, I'd half do it.

I'd be half dead and fucking--

I'd fucking set myself on fire. This would be the fucking--

I mean, I wouldn't die, you know? That's my luck.

The major problem is the damage,

the nerve damage from the bad neck surgery.

Yes, the Parkinson's is, you know, progressing

and, yes, it's showing up in various ways.

But his lack of mobility

is the huge issue.

That fucking doctor just stripped him, you know,

of his abilities to move

and it makes me so angry,

because I felt like all this could have been avoided.

It didn't have to happen.

Um...

What are we doing, boss?

Trying to take over the world.

Oh, we've done that.

I did yoga this morning.

Do you want to do yoga with me?

No thanks.

All right, would you like a kick in the balls?

- No thanks. Would you? - Yeah, I would.

Do you like some of the words I wrote?

Yeah, let me see them.

"He likes to play his games inside his room."

♪ He likes to play He likes to play ♪

"To play his games inside his room,"

or "his sick games in his room."

"He likes to play a game inside his room."

All right.

- That's even better. - ♪ Masturbating ♪

Are we going there?

"Masturbation"? Not, no--

Okay. "Masturbation."

"Degradation." Then...

When he was recovering from the operation,

Andrew and him got together and said,

"Okay, let's do another album."

The depression would always be a lot lighter when he was busy,

when his mind was on something else.

And this was the first thing

that he would think of in the morning,

was a song, a riff, not, "Oh, God, my pain."

We're in a band!

We're in a fucking band!

What? Fuck off.

Hey, hey. Run it from the intro.

- Ready? - Yep. Let's go.

"Patient No. 9" was a very important body of work.

It was an important song actually.

It was a dream come true for me.

The actual intro to that song and the outro

were parts that I had written years ago with Ozzy in mind,

but I wasn't working with Ozzy.

But the sound--

Is the sound okay for you? What do you want me to do?

'Cause I got a variety of amp sounds here.

There's other, cleaner settings,

but let me know what you think.

♪ Is there a way Out of here? ♪

♪ Hey, how long You been here? ♪

♪ I wanna go home... ♪

The whole intro part

where you have this voice in his head,

which I believe is a voice that exists in his head.

Ozzy's sort of taking us on a journey to a dark place

through this character that I believe exists in him.

Ozzy Osbourne can't sing about "boy meets girl."

It's about being in a mental hospital.

We pressed record for you on the top,

and you literally did that in one take.

You were able to access being a psychopath mental patient.

- Why was that so easy? - Why was it so easy?

I've had a lot of practice, haven't I?

I didn't have to dig that one up very much.

Spend a fucking week in my house.

What's so great is you did one and then you got the vision.

I watched you as-- I could see it like yesterday.

You did one, got the vision, said, "Give me another track."

You did it. You answered yourself.

You answered yourself with a different...

because it's kind of like the way I think.

I used to watch this footage of Sabbath

and it used to be you were in the middle.

And then I would see this footage

where you're on the side of the stage.

How did that happen?

It was kinda like-- It just happened.

But how does that make sense?

"Hey, you, singer, move to the right," like--

It just happened.

I mean, I was the least important one in the band.

But you're the voice, so...

Yeah, but they wouldn't listen to any of my ideas.

'Cause I can't play an instrument, it's like...

You know, I had ideas, and then they go,

"Oh, I don't understand what you're saying, okay."

My dad will never get over

being fired from Black Sabbath.

He'll never get over that, ever, ever, ever, ever.

It hurt him more than anything people can put into words.

It destroyed him. Those were his brothers.

Those were his extended family and all he knew.

You know what? I don't really know the details

but I would imagine it in part had something to do

with the substance abuse at the time.

But I would imagine it's probably quite layered.

I mean, it was a traumatic event for him.

His dad died, and then he gets booted out of a band,

and he thinks, "Well, I haven't got much to live for now.

Now I have to like piece this all back together."

And I think it definitely affected the way he operates.

It's things that, when you're a kid,

stay with you all your life, you know?

I've sold as many fucking records.

More.

When I went on my own, I had a blast.

I didn't have to answer to anybody.

But I would just think similarly

to like the way you're saying,

like your guys and your band couldn't see you,

couldn't allow you to branch out, to go forward.

But to be honest with you, we were all fucked up.

At the end of the day, everybody was stoned.

But they all went, "Oh, Ozzy's stoned."

Because when you do a lot of acid like I used to,

you've gotta be fucking off your nut.

Yeah.

That's what it does. It sends you fucking crazy.

I can't take it anymore.

Yeah. Chicken crossed the road.

Oh, fuck yeah.

Did you hear that story?

I'm coming up Sunset one morning,

I'm fucking blasted out of my head

on some acid or something.

And it was like 6:00 in the morning.

I'm looking out the window

and a fucking chicken runs across fucking Sunset.

I thought, "Well, I ain't going to say fuck all,

because they'll all think I'm nuts,

because I'm obviously hallucinating."

And then three weeks go by, and one of the guys go,

"You know what?

When we were going down Sunset the other week,

I saw a chicken running across the road,

but I was frightened to say anything,

because I thought you'd all think I was fucking nuts."

So, I cracked up laughing because that's what I saw

and exactly what I was thinking.

So, they'd all seen it and nobody mentioned it,

because we all...

It literally escaped from Barney's Beanery.

Ah, fucking hell.

How could you get this little kid and Ozzy,

how did they get each other? I don't know, but they do.

And he makes Ozzy forget his situation

for, you know, a few hours.

Andrew is a great salesman. He's a great cheerleader.

And he has, be it sometimes annoying,

but he has an energy about him which is like, "Oh, cool."

Like you're kind of-- You enjoy it.

And I think that that's fuel for my dad.

We love each other. There's a genuine love, I think.

You know, a lot of times as a producer or a musician,

sometimes you work with people and the work's fantastic,

but it's just the work

and then you move on and everyone moves on.

And that's okay, right?

That's part of the job and the process.

Sometimes you make a friend for life.

And that's what happened here.

We became so close. We like all the same things.

I don't have that with every musician

that I work with, you know.

What do you want to do next, boss?

An album!

What kind of album do you wanna make next?

A good album!

No shit, you say the same thing every time.

You know six months ago

when I got the call about the Commonwealth Games?

What?

Six months ago, I got a call

- from the Commonwealth Games. - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Do you remember? And they said they wanted you to close.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Sabbath. Hometown boys.

It's all being held in Birmingham.

And of course, we had to say no.

He was really, really depressed

and told himself that he couldn't do it.

So, he said, "No, I'm not doing it."

And then one week before the Commonwealth Games,

they called and they're like, "Are you sure he can't do it?"

Apparently, everybody they've booked for the show,

every other artist has said,

"Is Ozzy gonna be there?

Is Sabbath gonna be there? Are they gonna play?"

And they've had to say, of course, "No."

And they just said,

"Could you just think about it one more time?"

All right, we've thought about it. We're going, yeah?

It's up to you whether you can do it.

Oh, I can have a go.

- You're gonna... One song? - Yep.

- "Paranoid"? - Yep.

- Deal? - Yeah!

We leave in two days.

Okay.

Honest? Oh...

It was like we couldn't get him to do anything.

And all of a sudden, he says, "Fuck it, I'll go."

And it was literally less than a week away.

I mean, it was like, "Wow!"

Sharon says they're all like over the moon I'm going.

And I mean, if it fucks up, who cares? It's fucking--

I'm there, you know?

The very fact that I'm there, you know?

When you're sick, like I am, you can count your real...

Tony Iommi has been very supportive.

You know you've got to go on naked tonight, you know that?

- I don't give a shit about that. - I know you don't.

What did I say? What made me say that,

thinking it'd bother him?

No. Really, he'd do it.

When Ozzy got sick, Tony was there every week.

He would reach out to him.

He was there when Ozzy needed somebody to talk to

and he's just been amazing.

You look back to bands from the '70s,

and Sabbath are all still alive.

I mean, I look at Motörhead where there's nobody left,

and I just think,

"Oh, they're blessed. They still have each other."

- Ozzy, this is going to shake. - I can't-- What?

This lift is going to shake when it starts moving.

You need to use this.

No, I'll be all right.

You need to hold this.

- No, I'll be okay. - It's gonna shake.

I'll be okay. I can hold on to this.

That's not good.

- Sharon, want me to... - Darling, it's fine!

Stop panicking.

I'm not panicking, baby.

I just don't want you to fall. I'm not panicking.

I won't fall, Boo.

- I promise you. - Okay.

I was like, "Oh, my God."

It was like I was taking care of a newborn baby,

and he's like basically saying to me,

"Get the fuck away from me. Leave me alone. Get away.

You're bringing attention to me."

And I'm like, "Oh, God, do I go forward?

Do I go back? What do I do?"

I was just in awe. I was in awe of him.

I just couldn't believe that he was doing what he was doing

and the crowd were just with him.

You could feel them willing him.

And he was just in his element.

He was back doing what he was meant to do.

Thank you. Good night.

You are the best. God bless you all.

Birmingham forever!

I noticed that, as we left, he didn't use his cane.

I mean, he was walking brilliantly.

He was like from ear to ear, smiling,

and just was so happy.

It goes to prove how your emotions

and the strength of your mind can overcome things.

When I got in the van, I was buzzed. I was psyched.

I was like...

The adrenaline was flying.

When I get back to America, what my plans are,

I'm going to get really fit, do my physical therapy.

'Cause I've got to get back to do that tour in May.

You know, I'm definitely gonna give it my best shot.

What do you need, Ozzy? Oh, your tissues.

I've had a fucking runny nose for five years.

- Here, darling. - Okay, babe.

It's not that warm today here.

I've got a really bad headache.

- Do you want some sugar? - No, for fuck's sake.

My dad comes back to LA,

and I think there were more problems, more surgeries,

and it just--

I think he feels like the pit is too big to climb out of.

And it was just too much work.

My dad does not like discomfort.

Anyone I know that's had to do significant physical therapy,

it sucks and it's painful

and there are times you don't wanna do it.

But in order to get results,

you have to make it your full-time job and priority.

And he just can't. He's just not there.

The tour that we canceled, how did you feel?

It broke my heart to be honest, Sharon.

It really did break my heart.

Um...

Because this has been a long haul for me, Boo.

I know.

After being sick for so long,

I sometimes give up and go,

"It's never going to be any different."

But I haven't. I go a month

and I'm getting blood clots in my legs

and I can't do that and I can't exercise.

Plus, my stamina's dropped.

I haven't got it, but I've got to work.

I got on the fucking elliptical yesterday with my trainer.

Two and a half minutes,

I was totally fucked on that elliptical.

It's more than I can do.

But you ain't me, Boo.

Because this illness is so unpredictable...

Like you see one day, he'll wake up and he's on it.

He's on the case, he's great, he's focused, he's determined,

and then the next, it's like all gone again.

And that's the way it's been going. There's no rhythm to it.

And before Christmas, I said to him,

"We're on? We're on, right, for Europe?

We can't leave it to the last minute to cancel it."

"No, I'm fine. I'm doing it."

Over Christmas and New Year's,

I just saw that it just wasn't...

There was no continuity in what he was doing.

There was no long periods of time where he was great.

And I just had to say to him,

"We can't leave it to the last minute.

Can you do it? Can you not do it?"

And he just said, "I'm fucked. I just can't."

And it was fucked.

It's, you know-- It's, um...

It's just hard. It's hard on everyone.

It's hard on the family. It's hard on everyone.

And you cry and you just feel

that you put a clown's face on

and everything's going to be great.

And then it's not. It's not.

I think what's happening to my mom

is the most heartbreaking part of this whole thing.

And I think...

that watching the man that she loves most in this world wither

is really, really hard.

They were both so used to the "go, go, go."

I think for that to be taken away at such a drastic level,

it's been heartbreaking and terrifying.

And, you know, my mom's role has been about

maintaining the control of all the moving parts of this.

To have all those things essentially break away

has been extremely painful.

So, what do you think about we do a big farewell show?

Would I like to say, "Yes"? Absolutely.

But I've been up and down this fucking thing so many times.

And people are going to go, "Oh, here we go.

He's fucking doing it again."

So, I don't want to say yes or no.

If I'm going to go up there, I want to be up there...

Ozz, you know. The whole Ozzy thing.

I don't feel I finished yet.

I don't feel,

"Oh, I wanna say to my fans, thank you for the years."

I haven't said that yet. That's what it's all about.

Even if it's whatever they charge to get in

or it's a free concert

or it's a huge field or at fucking The Roxy,

just to have the final show.

All my life, I always thought, "Oh, you're gonna fail.

You're gonna do a bad show. It's gonna be a bad marriage."

Up until the point that it goes bad,

which everything eventually does,

you know, you say, "That's why you get a new one."

- Hey. - No.

Hey.

I've been down that road.

You're the booby--

Did you hear what he said?

Did you? Go on, say it! Go on.

You're the booby prize.

I'm fucking done... That's knocked me down.

I'm going to get a kick in the balls

when you've gone home tonight. Don't leave!

Quiet!

When it gets a bit too noisy in there for me, I'll pop in.

I've always had a room where I can get away from everything.

Uh...

I enjoy it, you know.

I doodle around. I'm not-- I can't fucking draw anything.

I went in to Ozzy's art room

when I got the call from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

He couldn't believe it. He thought I was winding him up.

And then he goes, "I'm not going."

He's never been someone

that kind of basks in award ceremonies, you know?

There are certain people that like, you know,

they want to get up there

and grab that award and give this speech.

They want to be that. That's just not him.

He was thrilled. He was like, "Holy shit, that's amazing."

But he was also like, "Oh, fuck.

I have to go say something. What do I say?"

Whenever there's a goal in place,

he'll tell himself that he can't do it.

For somebody who gets on stage and performs

in front of the size of the crowds that he does,

you would think that he can walk into any room

and be confident and fine.

That's not the case. He is somebody that suffers

from the worst social anxiety I've ever seen.

Nobody will ever understand how insecure my dad is.

If something's in my head, it will torture me.

If I've got a commitment or I've gotta make a speech,

I fucking hate making speeches.

Sharon goes,

"All you gotta say is thank you and God save the Queen."

I'll have done that, like I did a thing with Sabbath.

And I was taking this medication for my Parkinson's,

which gives you short-term amnesia.

I got up there and I said everything fucking twice,

and Geezer thought it was just highly

the funniest thing in his life.

But I couldn't stop saying the same thing, you know.

With Ozzy, it flip-flops.

You know, "I'm not doing it. I am. I'm not."

And I said, "Well, if you don't go,

you'll miss out on being

in the group of 2024 that have been inducted.

So, when people go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

and look in the future at 2024,

you won't be a part of it." Then he changed his mind.

So, yeah, "I'll go. I'm going. I'm going. I'm gonna do it."

Here we go again, Boo.

Yes, my darling.

So, we'll get you ready for the photo shoot, do that,

and then we'll go in and watch the guys rehearse for a bit.

- It'll be fun, right? - Mm-hmm.

To put a band together is so hard

because Ozzy has worked with the cream of the crop.

Give me a couple of faces, Ozz.

Chin up a little for a couple. Good.

Great, chin up a little if you can.

Great, right, let's bring everyone in.

Let's bring them in, do a couple at a time.

Let's come on out for now.

Give me the camera!

Thank you so much for this.

Just sit on the side or stand,

whatever you're comfortable with.

Give me the look, William.

Right then, let's have two singers and then Maynard.

- Hey, buddy. - How you doing, all right?

You're not with Tool. Come out!

- What? - You was hiding!

We've got three different singers.

We've got Maynard, we've got Jelly Roll

and we've got Billy Idol.

Perfect! Get out!

Eat shit, Ross!

There's drummer Chad Smith, who's done his last two albums.

And, of course, Zakk. Couldn't have done it without Zakk.

You're fine. Let's have some, you know, screaming Zakk.

That's him! Yes!

And we've got Robert Trujillo on bass.

Wolfgang Van Halen. Steve Stevens.

Then we've got Adam Wakeman on keyboards.

And then, of course, Andrew Watt is going to be there.

We needed a musical director

because you can only have seven minutes to perform.

And how do you put a 44-year career

- into seven minutes? - Ozz, smile, come on.

They asked me if I would put it together,

which meant more to me than I could ever say to you.

It's one of the honors of my life

to do something that pays

the appropriate amount of tribute to him.

I took it very seriously.

Right, let's do a group shot.

Andrew Watt! Stop being annoying.

Give him the finger. Fuck you, Ross!

Fuck you, Ross.

Now that obviously is not going to get used anywhere.

- No one is going to use it. - I bet it fucking does.

- It's the best one. - Who are you to decide that?

- Best one! - What do you mean?

Your favorite saying: That'll never get used.

Remember my asshole?

I said to my mom when she was going through the list,

I was like, "It's kind of like the ultimate rock band."

When you look at it, you're like,

"This is like the greatest cover band ever."

Sharon, go in for one!

Yay!

I'll sit on the floor.

That's good. Yes. Mama!

All right, okay. Smile, Ozzy.

I am smiling.

Done.

Thank you. Thank you, guys. Thank you!

I wish you were doing it.

In picking the songs,

I chose three of Ozzy's biggest songs.

And I thought, as a solo artist,

there was kind of like the path of his career,

which were "Crazy Train" with Randy,

"Mama, I'm Coming Home," which is this big ballad,

and then "No More Tears."

Billy Idol's gonna sing "No More Tears,"

which I'm really excited about.

"Mama" has always been very country music orientated,

so Jelly Roll is the perfect guy to do that song.

♪ All aboard, ha ha ha ha ha ♪

And then, of course, Maynard is a chameleon.

He can be so many different things.

So, Maynard's doing "Crazy Train."

♪ Crazy ♪

♪ But that's how it goes... ♪

Oh, yeah, no pressure.

He's just standing there watching you sing

his big single from the first Blizzard of Ozz album.

No pressure.

That was awful.

It was great to have him there, but, man, there he is,

watching me, hearing this. Oh, boy.

♪ The light in the window ♪

♪ Is a crack in the sky... ♪

I was a little nervous doing it,

but you know, if you're not nervous,

it means you don't care. So you know,

we cared about what we were doing.

I think everybody was like that a bit.

The fact that they had the balls to get up and do it,

even if they weren't comfortable with it,

like they were saying, "Oh, this isn't my wheelhouse,"

It's just like, "Yeah, but that's not the point."

The point is you're getting up there and honoring Ozz.

Of course, you wish Ozzy was going to be up there

showing everybody what he's done and what he created,

the stamp he put on rock music.

♪ No more tears... ♪

What do you think was going through my head?

I wasn't thinking, "I'm glad they're doing my gig for me."

I was going, "What the fuck is wrong with me?"

And that feeling of:

I wanted to get up there and have a go myself.

That kind of broke my heart, you know?

I nearly said, "Let me have a go."

But if I'd have got up,

I know I would be on the fucking floor in two seconds.

But my Ozzy little guy inside was going,

"Get the fuck up there. What's the matter with you?"

It's like a little demon inside me.

That fucking guy that's been there all these years.

I can't thank you guys enough.

Of course, I want to be up there with you.

I know, man. I was thinking about it.

I know there's nothing more.

Listen, all I can say to you,

you have as much fucking fun as you can out there.

Because when this shit comes down, man,

it breaks your fucking heart.

To be honest with you, I spent some time

in the middle of the night last night

looking online for these fucking bionic legs and things.

Then I stopped and I go,

"But what if you fall over with them?"

I mean, I was thinking,

"That would be great, the real Iron Man."

But they're coming out with really interesting stuff now.

Sidney, come here, bubba.

Grandad.

Grandad.

Sid! What are you doing, Sid?

Sid!

Is that you, Papa? Say, "I love you, Papa!

I love you, Papa!"

I've always been really, really close with my dad.

We have a special little thing.

Ah. Ah.

He's tired, isn't he?

Yeah, he is.

- Go to... - Oh, yeah.

I go to my dad for everything.

Because sometimes my mom gives terrible advice.

He knows stuff about me that my mom doesn't know,

but I like to think that he doesn't tell her.

But God only knows.

Here, boy. Come on, Bugs.

Not a fucking whisper.

Come on, Bugs.

My dad's quite naughty sometimes,

because if he's not getting the answer he wants from Mom,

he'll, you know, be like,

"Hey, can you tell her I don't want to do this?

And you need to help me figure this out

because I can't do this."

So I'll be like, "Mom, look, he doesn't--"

She's like, "That's not what he told me.

He told me he does."

I'm like, "You know what, Dad? We're not triangulating today."

So he can be a bit naughty like that,

but I think you can't help but find him very endearing.

How did you feel when Sydney was born?

"Finally, a boy."

I know.

He's great, but boys are much different babies than girls.

Oh, my God, they're so different. It's so different!

But the thing that I'm afraid of, he's fearless.

But hey, he's a boy.

He'll be close to his mom.

Can't believe in a couple of weeks you'll be 40!

I know.

I'm fucking gobsmacked about that.

I can't believe it.

I can remember just for the first-- It seems like yesterday

I was holding you like you were this big in my arms.

You had a turned-up nose.

But you came out going, "Raa!" And you're still going, "Raa!"

I can't help it. I've got too many feelings.

My parents had three of us at one point, three under three,

with the chaos that goes on in this family on a daily basis.

I don't know how they did it.

Jack was like one eye closed.

Aw.

Aimee was like, you know--

I was in the pub when Aimee had come.

I went to the pub for a few pints, which was me,

- all afternoon. - Yeah.

I come staggering in in the afternoon,

and they say, "You've got a daughter, sir."

Now I know the struggles of being a parent.

I understand why they did things a certain way.

I'm also kind of cherry-picking the things I take from my dad.

And, you know, it's certain aspects

where you're like, "I like the way my parents did this,

or I didn't like that they did that."

That's the kind of cool thing about becoming a parent.

I think, ultimately, there's a sense of gratitude

more than anything,

just because we got to do--

I got to do some amazing things growing up.

Are you ready for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

Well, kind of. I would have done it myself,

but I can't stand up that long.

The fucking thing I...

What's kinda got up my shirt a little bit

is your mom said I'm gonna go on a fucking throne.

So, knowing my luck,

the fucking battery will go fucking haywire

and I'll end up in the front row.

I keep saying to Ozzy, "You have to sit for safety."

He's got all these blood thinners in him, okay?

His balance isn't the best because of the Parkinson's.

If he falls, because his blood is like water,

he could bleed out like that.

I haven't seen the fans in fucking six years.

I know.

I've been really fucked up with this body of mine.

As soon as I want to do anything, I go to the doctor,

I've either got a blood clot or my leg's about to fall off.

But I can't complain. I had fucking...

I was actively rocking until I was 70,

then a trapdoor opened.

- Yeah. - You know that.

But hey, could have been worse.

You could be Sting.

I could've been Sting.

You took your injection today for the blood clots, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm just hoping and praying these shots

will get rid of the blood clots by Monday.

It's like payback time

because every time I want to do something,

I get some bad news and I can't do it, you know.

My dad's been having crazy, like, fainting, dizzy spells.

He's got something.

He's developed something called orthostatic blood pressure,

where one minute your blood pressure can be sky high,

stroke-ville, then it can plummet down

to like your heart's about to stop.

So, he went to the doctor.

And in trying to figure out what this is,

they discovered he's got a ton of clots in his legs again.

Which now means he might not be able to fly to Cleveland.

If this was in LA and he didn't have to get on a plane,

he would 1,000% be there.

But because of the blood clots, I don't fucking know.

We can't take a risk, and he--

It's up to the doctors at this point.

Listen, we're going to get you there

whether you have to crawl there.

- We're gonna get you there. - Okay.

Right?

That will fuck me up to no end

- if I can't get on that plane. - I know.

The turn of a page, things changed instantly.

A doctor gives you a diagnosis and goes,

"You've got a blood clot. You can't travel."

So now he's on these shots,

which they hope will get the blood clots down.

I hope to see the doctor Monday

to do another test on Ozzy's body

to see if the blood clots have gone.

So, talk about leaving it to the very last minute.

- See you in a bit. - See you, Jack.

Good luck. I have faith

the rock-and-roll gods are shining down upon you.

- You all right, Boo? - Yes, darling.

Natalia, it's a full-body scan?

Yes, Sharon.

I haven't gotta do it naked, have I?

I'm going between two different scenarios.

How do I break it to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

that Ozzy can't travel?

How do I deal with Ozzy's disappointment

of not being able to travel?

And then we're going, and I'm like, in a few minutes,

I'm gonna know which one I'm meant to be.

Just waiting for the doctor to tell us.

So, everything is up in the air.

I feel good about today.

- Do you? - Yep.

Is that just a "yeah" telling me to shut up

or you do feel good?

I've been dreaming about this fucking thing.

- It's fucking driving me nuts. - I know.

So, one hour, that's all.

Then we'll decide, bus, train, plane. Right?

Yep.

Hello, gorgeous.

Hi Daddy, blood clots?

He's good to go, Kelly. We're leaving.

Oh, my God, I'm so happy!

We're leaving! We're going!

Oh, my God, I knew that God couldn't be that cruel to him.

They know more about my inside now than the outside.

Fucking, I'm like a laboratory rat

with more injections and fucking pills.

That's the thing about getting older, you know.

You say, "I used to take pills for fun.

Now I take them to stay alive."

I'm so excited for you. This is the best fucking news.

Are you coming?

Is the Pope a Catholic?

I'd like a nice meal tonight.

I would too, so why don't we go out?

No, I don't want to go out.

Oh, God, Ozzy.

It's kind of...

It's kind of befitting to the reign of Ozzy, isn't it?

This conclusion.

What a life, what a great career I had,

and how wonderful-- what a great success story.

From humble beginnings

to a fucking desolate end.

Everybody's ready to go.

I've got to take things really slowly.

When I get rushed, I get flustered.

When I get flustered, my blood pressure goes whacky.

Because I've got these blood pressure issues now.

It keeps dropping suddenly, because of Parkinson's.

Clear stage, please everyone. Clear stage.

Thanks for doing this, Jack, thank you.

I owe it all to you. It was you that changed my life.

- Thank you. - Blizzard of Ozz, in fact.

- Thank you. - Because I'm so young,

it was Blizzard of Ozz.

Then I went back and listened to the Sabbath.

Jack Black is the perfect person to induct Ozzy,

because he loves his music and he also loves to laugh,

and Ozzy's the same.

Should I go now? Action?

Someone has to say action for me.

Action!

Obviously, there was a lot of pressure on us

to sound as great as we could for him

because we're in the presence of the man, the master.

These are his songs.

For all of us, there was a bit of that nervousness,

but a good kind of nervousness.

We were having a problem with "Mama, I'm Coming Home"

because Jelly Roll wasn't there to rehearse with us.

Normally, we have Billy kind of holding that down,

and then I'm watching Billy, and he's over there,

and there's a vocal happening, and Billy's lips aren't moving,

and I'm like, "What the shit?"

I hear it, but kind of faintly,

and I'm like, "Somebody's singing in it."

And then I just looked over and Jack Black's like...

And Ozzy's singing.

♪ Mama, I'm coming home ♪

♪ You took me in And you drove me out... ♪

Everyone was like, "What?"

And I was looking at Robert and he was playing the bass

and I'm like, "Ozzy's singing."

We were both like, "Oh, man."

♪ Yeah, you had me hypnotized Yeah... ♪

We all looked at each other kind of stunned, but excited.

I think he saw we needed it, I also feel that he wanted it.

♪ You made me cry You told me lies ♪

♪ But I can't stand To say goodbye ♪

♪ Mama, I'm coming home ♪

I was crying and it was just very, very emotional.

It was beautiful,

but it was very...

very emotional.

I could be wrong, but I could-- I swear to God,

I saw him when we stopped and we went in on "No More Tears."

I swear, I saw him, like the legs were going

and he had a water bottle he kinda put...

And it looked to me like he was thinking about getting up.

I'm like, "You might not wanna.

I don't know if he can do that."

But in his mind, he thinks that he can do it.

And music, here's the thing,

how powerful the power of music is, that it's like--

I fucking sound like some evangelist.

It's healing.

Ozzy, you sounded great.

Oh, my God, I almost passed out.

It's so good to hear you sing, man. Love you, Ozzy.

To induct Ozzy Osbourne

into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame:

Jack Black.

What's up, Cleveland? Make some noise!

Plumber,

car horn tuner,

slaughterhouse worker,

the greatest front man in the history of rock and roll,

Ozzy Osbourne.

I remember the first time I heard of Ozzy.

I was 13 years old, wandering around the record store.

What should I get? Styx? Journey?

An older rock aficionado noticed my indecision he said,

"Stop fucking around, kid."

"This is the album you need to get,

The Blizzard of Ozz."

I took that record home,

and when the needle hit the vinyl,

heaven opened up above me.

I don't know!

Jack Black did his homework.

He really, really threw himself into it.

So, then I went back into Ozzy's earlier albums,

to Black Sabbath,

and I was like, "Unholy shit,

this motherfucker invented heavy metal!"

Then what? The Osbournes.

Yeah, he teamed up with his family to create another genre:

reality TV.

Maybe the most evil thing he ever did.

But there is no denying it, another fucking massive hit!

And he did it with such emotion

and he's so theatrical with, you know, his delivery.

He's just brilliant. I mean, he fucking nailed it.

It is my great honor to officially induct

the greatest to ever lace 'em up

in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,

the one, the only:

Ozzy Osbourne!

Thank you.

You know what? I can't believe I'm here myself,

you know what I mean?

First, let me get the thank-yous out of the way

because I'm not going to bore you with a long,

drawn-out fucking monologue.

I'd like to thank whoever voted me

into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,

and more so, my fans.

My fans have been so loyal to me over the years.

I cannot thank them enough.

I've been fortunate over the years to play with

some of the world's greatest guitar players,

drummers, bass players.

One thing for a guy by the name of Randy Rhoads.

Because if I hadn't have met Randy Rhoads,

I don't think I'd be sitting here now.

And more so than that,

my wife Sharon saved my life,

and my grandbabies and my babies, I love them all.

So, with all that,

I'm going to get on with the show.

Let's do it!

All aboard!

♪ Ay, ay, ay, ay... ♪

♪ Crazy ♪

♪ But that's how it goes ♪

♪ Millions of people Living as foes ♪

♪ Maybe it's not too late ♪

♪ To learn how to love And forget how to hate... ♪

Everyone was excited to be there,

but at the same time,

everyone knows Ozzy and sees him sitting there

and he's not up there with us.

And so, it's a bittersweet thing

of wanting to kill it for him,

but also wishing that he was the one doing the singing.

♪ Times have changed And times are strange ♪

♪ Here I come But I ain't the same ♪

♪ Mama, I'm coming home... ♪

As a solo artist, I think he was really knocked out

'cause I'm sure there was that moment when he left Sabbath

where Ozzy was saying,

"I don't know quite what's going to happen to me."

We were sort of honoring how he overcame that moment

when he overcame:

What was he going to do? What was he gonna be?

Could he carry on being Ozzy, you know, without Sabbath?

And I think he did it.

And I think that's what we were honoring.

♪ No more tears ♪

♪ No more tears... ♪

I think what was going through his head

was regret, frustration.

♪ No more tears... ♪

It was his time.

And he couldn't take his award

the way he wanted to have taken it.

Total frustration.

And that's the thing with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,

and I did tell the guys.

And it's not-- It's nobody's fault.

It's just the way it is.

Why do you wait so long with all of these artists?

Not just Ozzy, with all these unbelievable artists

that have achieved so much in their lives?

Why do you wait this long?

Because it's 25 years since your first album was released

that you can be considered to be inducted.

You know, Ozzy's 44 years.

- Sharon? - Yeah?

Can I ask you something?

Anything.

Did you ever think I'd make it to the Hall of Fame?

No, I didn't. At the dress rehearsal,

when "Mama" started to play, you sang along.

I can't-- That song's so...

It makes me wanna fucking start slurping, you know.

I know, me too.

I always think of you when I sing that song.

Everywhere, when I was on the road,

I'd do that one as the second encore,

and I always think about you when I do that song.

And when he started singing,

I just welled up in my fucking throat,

because I was feeling sorry for myself at the same time

that I couldn't get up there and do the thing myself anyway.

It was like a bittersweet thing, the whole thing was.

I'm lucky that people wanted to help me out and do it.

But it was a big part of, my heart was getting broken

because I belong up there, you know?

You did just fine. Believe me, you did just fine.

Thank you. We're a team.

If it wasn't for Sharon Osbourne, I wouldn't be here.

I would definitely not have the success I have.

I wouldn't be sober.

I'd be six feet under, without a shadow of a doubt.

Because I didn't drink any less

or do any more drugs than any of them,

but all the guys I used to do it with, they're all dead.

So, there must be something that I did right in the world.

The one thing I did was have my Sharon.

The next thing is the Birmingham show in Aston Villa.

Yep. It is.

Ozzy's one regret about his music career

is that he never really said goodbye to his fans.

And he felt he let them down.

So, he wants to do one last hurrah.

July 5th. What?

- July 5th. - Yeah.

- Yeah. Is the date. - Yeah.

It had to be done in Birmingham.

It wouldn't work anywhere else.

And so that's why I decided on Aston Villa,

because Ozzy was born in Aston.

He lived around the corner from the Villa.

It will be his game, his last game.

It's gonna be a celebration for everyone,

for everyone, the fans, all the other bands,

and especially Ozzy.

I's a great way to say thank you.

Ivo, the next shot is going to be Ozzy and me there.

"Gods of Rock N Roll" was originally written

in a hotel room in Argentina.

I had four chords, sounded pretty.

Ozzy was humming a melody.

And I think at that point, he went,

"The gods of rock and roll."

And I went, "There's the title."

I mean, the booth, I am beyond happy with.

Now, Bruno, that can be...

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've got loads of time.

That can be adjusted, actually.

Oh, okay. So, however Ozzy's down from here.

We had squared away with Sharon and Ozzy

that we were gonna shoot this video.

But obviously, it was a couple of days

after the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

And I did get a text from Ozzy,

and the text said, "I don't have a lot in the tank."

Actually, I think it said,

"There's nothing left in the tank.

But I'm gonna come. Can we make it quick?"

Do you want anything? Do you want a cup of tea?

That'll be a good idea. No, no just get the thing done.

All right, let's get going, guys. Get it done.

All right.

You look good. You all right?

So we put him into the vocal booth

and crossed our fingers.

Ozzy, are you ready?

- I'm ready to rock. - Let's roll the playback.

All right, Ozz?

Action!

♪ Sometimes I feel like I'm so empty ♪

Stop reading it, Ozz.

♪ Sometimes I feel like I'm alive ♪

It looks amazing.

♪ With all these Crazy voices ♪

♪ I'm running out of choices ♪

♪ I need you now I need you now ♪

♪ The Gods of Rock N Roll ♪

Cut. Yeah!

What is interesting about that video day,

and it happens anytime I've ever done anything with Ozzy,

music in its purest form gives the guy energy.

I enjoyed singing that.

It looked amazing. It really did.

We're good. Ozzy's going to be out within the hour.

Oh, don't worry about it.

What goofing around? We can't goof around

like you really used to goof around,

because we'll get arrested.

By the time we finished the first set of takes,

which was close-ups on him in the vocal booth,

he came out and he was energized.

It was a different Ozzy.

And that happens when you're recording with him.

I've seen it happen with Sabbath

when they were touring and I was hanging out with them.

I've seen it happen a lot.

It's music that ignites his soul.

♪ Tonight will be another Nightmare just for me ♪

♪ I found myself another God-shaped hole ♪

♪ The Gods of Rock N Roll ♪

- Well done. - Thank you.

Thanks, buddy.

Cut!

I printed out the list of artists.

Thank you.

Did you need any of the other stuff today?

Uh, no.

Okay.

Thank you.

- Do you want to sit in, Mike? - I'm gonna sit in.

All righty then, hello, baby.

Hello, hello, hello. Come on, come on.

- Hey, Shazzy. - Good morning.

- Hey, Sharon. - Hi, Andy.

How are you, my darling?

All good, thank you, all good.

Hey, Tom. Good to see you, mate.

To decide who does play at the Aston Villa show,

it's people that have worked with Ozzy over the years

and they share the love of the music together.

We've got Metallica. We've got Slayer, Pantera,

of course Zakk, Zakk Wylde.

We've got Sammy Hagar. We've got Yungblud.

I mean, it just goes on and on and on.

Okay, what have we got? You gonna start, Andy?

Alice in Chains, Metallica,

Slayer are all effectively locked in.

Ozzy texted all the guys in Sabbath

and said he wants to say goodbye to his fans

and he would love them to be there where it began.

And they all said yes.

With Slash and Duff,

they have a show the day before in Stockholm,

they then will fly to us, do the show, and then fly out.

So everybody's said yes.

It's just now we just gotta pin them down.

If there's any help that I can be

from sort of an artist-to-artist perspective,

let me know and I'm happy to chime in

or send somebody a direct text to try to make this

the greatest day in the history of metal.

So just let me know if I can be of help in that regard.

Thank you. Thank you.

Tom Morello was my first choice for a musical director.

He has the respect of so many different musicians,

and he's going to work out who works with who

and what songs they're gonna do.

The first call I made was to Metallica.

And I thought, like, if you could anchor this thing

with Black Sabbath, Ozzy and Metallica,

and they were very eager to do it,

and once Metallica was locked,

you start calling people.

People pick up the fucking phone, dude.

When you're like, "There's one more Sabbath show,

all four original members, Ozzy's last show.

Metallica's playing as well,"

you can hear their jaws unhinging

and dropping to the floor when they hear that

and then just-- then it was a matter of scheduling.

Do we then look at announcing this show

that first week of February?

Yeah, yeah.

Would you and Tony Iommi be around live

if we did a press conference at Villa Park?

Ozzy's mind is overwhelmed

with the way people are showing up for him, and also fear.

He is very afraid,

but I know that with the emotion behind it all,

it will carry him through the day. He's gonna be fine.

- How are you? - Who are you?

Hello, you.

- How are you? - All right, not bad.

♪ Misty morning Clouds in the sky ♪

♪ Without warning A wizard walks by ♪

♪ Casting his shadow... ♪

Here we go! Here we go!

I don't think that Ozzy realizes

that it's as big as it is.

When you see the reaction when you come in

and you talk to people in the press

and you see the reaction of how big it actually is,

I'm quite overwhelmed.

Like when we went into the locker rooms

and you saw all the T-shirts with all the bands' names on,

it is overwhelming.

You're like, "No, wow."

It's unbelievable. It gives you the goosebumps.

It's Ozzy's, um, definite, definite farewell.

There's gotta be a time where you've got to stop.

- Yeah. - You can't just go on.

And you stop with dignity.

And we're finishing how we started, which is all together.

I suppose I've come to the realization that Ozzy,

I don't think at this point where we are today...

The way I feel now, it'll be a miracle if I make it.

But I've said this before and pulled it off.

I don't know.

My back is really in a bad state,

but I'm in a lot of pain.

I'm just keeping my fingers crossed.

Each time, we see you

and we do our catch up on Ozzy's life, it's...

it's just got a little bit worse.

So, we're in April.

Ozzy has been sick with a new issue.

He had a cracked vertebrae on his back

which was excruciatingly painful.

They told us if it's gonna heal, it can take six weeks.

Don't do anything,

leave it six weeks. We left it six weeks.

His vertebrae did not fix itself. It got worse.

So then they suggested that Ozzy goes in

and they do a procedure,

where they fill--

They call it human concrete.

It's this solution that fills the broken vertebrae.

Ozzy was fine for two weeks after that,

then he was in agony again with his back

and he went back into hospital,

back out of hospital.

He came back out with pneumonia.

So Ozzy was in hospital three times and then...

I mean, I'm lost. Then the pain was so bad,

he went back again.

And they discovered that Ozzy,

while he was in hospital, had caught sepsis.

So here we are,

we're nearly the end of April

and they're now telling us that Ozzy's vertebrae

beneath the one that's fixed is cracked.

He can't be operated on because it was so excruciating.

And here we are today. What do we do?

Well, I think the problem now is getting to England,

but it's just fucking soul-destroying, you know?

But I've gotta be there. I have to be there.

There's no two ways about it. I have to be there.

I've been sick now, fucking...

This is year seven, you know.

It's just-- As I'm getting on with it, and going further

into this thing, it's getting slowly worse.

It's fucking crippling me.

I can't walk very far. I can't bend down. I can't--

If I'm sitting in a fucking chair...

All I can do is turn up and do the best I can.

That's all I can do,

rather than sitting here moping.

If I'm sitting here and I ain't there,

I'm gonna be doubly pissed off.

It's just these fucking medical things, you know?

I'll be there.

I'll definitely be there.

Whether I do the two sets or...

But I'll be there.

Five seconds.

I want to maintain 70 RPM, Ozzy.

Try to keep your head up.

'Cause, yes, you have back pain,

but we can still maintain your strength.

Yeah.

So that when the back pain subsides, we can keep walking.

Little more effort with the left.

There you go. One more minute.

I've got this guy living with me at the moment

who puts these electric things on me which zaps my muscles

and gets them going again.

It's a slow process.

I'm not a very good patient.

Take your time. Don't lay down yet. Just rest.

I wanna get it over and done with.

I go from nought to fucking 300 in a day.

I wonder why I can't walk for the next day, you know.

Don't expect me to do too much in here today.

Don't what?

Don't expect me to do too much.

I know I'm not. You tell me.

- My back. - Your back, yeah.

It's fucking killing me.

Your back hurts, yeah.

- Any dizziness? - No.

Good. So you got his legs?

- Yeah. - All right.

He essentially has to relearn how his body moves.

When to push it, when to not.

Everything pretty much breaks down pretty quickly

the more inactive you are,

so it's challenging and it's uncomfortable.

And he's been uncomfortable for so long,

he doesn't want to feel any more of that.

But it's just about, kind of, mentally coaching him

through those moments.

All right, slow and controlled.

Exhale. Perfect.

Slow and controlled, good job.

Ten reps and then rest.

Obviously, one of the objectives is to get him

functionally capable for the concert,

but more importantly to me is to enhance his overall health

for the rest of his life.

I want to get Ozzy healthy.

Good strength.

All right, rest. How was that?

You can tolerate it?

- Yeah. - All right.

Gary couldn't care less who he is or who he's not

and just sees a person

that has the ability to overcome this

and knows exactly how to get him through those moments

where he's about ready to throw the towel in.

With one leg now?

If you can. If not, we'll stay with two.

Okay, press.

Good job. That's good strength, Ozzy.

Nice. Good effort.

When I think about all the things

that have broken down in his body,

and I think, "My God, you are fucking Iron Man."

Not only physical,

with all the bits of metal, pins, rods that's in his body,

but mentally too.

So, here's my question. Let's rest here a minute.

My question is, your legs are warmed up.

You showed some good strength. Can you walk to the house?

I could have walked here.

Okay, then let's walk a little bit.

All I can say is, I'm working my balls off

to get myself ready for the Villa.

I want to feel confident enough to pull it off.

Because it's gotta be the fucking best show in the world.

It's gotta be just the best show in the world when I do it.

Otherwise, what's the point in doing it?

Are you happy to be here?

To be honest with you, I never thought I was gonna make it.

Do you remember when we were in LA

and you went on the elliptical

and you went on for two and a half minutes?

Yeah.

Well, now you just did ten minutes on the walking machine.

Yeah, but that's fucking killing my legs now.

The trainer's driving me nuts in the fucking gym.

And I've told him I don't want to do anything serious

till after the show.

My legs feel like I've been fucking...

Beaten? Do you feel like you've been beaten?

These muscles here are really sore. And my ankles.

Do you feel that you've come--

I don't feel that I've come very far.

But then, do you feel that I've changed or gotten any better?

I think that getting you moving around,

changing environment...

No, no, no, no.

No, hold on. Hold on.

Not that. Just in my person.

Not fucking going to the shops or anything.

No, I'm just saying,

just seeing you in a different environment

and the way you're getting around the house

and going to the studio and coming back,

it's really good

to see you busy.

But that wasn't the question.

It is because I'm answering.

Because before in LA, you would go literally

from the bedroom down to the kitchen.

What do I do now?

You are all over the bloody place.

- No, no, no. - Yes, you are.

The question was not where I've been

or where I come downstairs or whatever.

The question was, do you think...

do you see any physical change in me?

Yes. You're more active.

That's not the answer I want.

Okay, are you the same as you were three years ago? No.

Am I the same as I was three months ago?

- Absolutely not. - For the better?

For the better, and again you're more active.

Okay.

When we last spoke, Ozzy still had sepsis.

He'd been treated for it for two and a half months,

and a lot of people don't survive sepsis.

But anyone of 76 that survives sepsis,

as well as everything else he's gone through,

and then to end up with that,

but Ozzy, thank God, survived and he's been okay.

LA's one thing, but the English summer is fantastic.

It's kind of like a new thing for us both.

I'm looking forward to getting this gig over,

hanging my mic up and spending some time with you.

We've never been free of--

After this gig, we're free.

Yeah, we're free.

July 5th, full stop.

Take a bow, come home.

I just want to live a life. That's all I wanna do.

Find a little bubble somewhere

and just live out our life together,

just doing stuff we wanna do.

It's time.

I didn't think I was gonna live past 40.

I shouldn't have lived past 40.

But I did.

And if my life's coming to an end,

I really can't complain. I've had a great life.

Great to see you, man. Thanks for having us.

This is Ozzy's final gig. This is the end of what you do.

I don't know how--

I don't know how to do that yet.

It's got to be difficult when your mind

wants to do what you've always done,

because there's no doubt the spirit of heavy metal

lives in Ozzy Osbourne.

But your body is telling you, "Fuck you, I am just so done."

That's got to be a really difficult position to be in,

and I will get there one day, I'm sure.

And I don't know how I'm going to handle that either.

So again, Ozzy is cutting the path for us still.

This is Kerrang! 1984.

1884.

Sharon's gift to Ozzy. "You deserve this."

And I think if you look at the outpouring of love,

the people that are here do really support Ozzy.

It's such a humbling thing

that the woman who stood by his side

in every trial and tribulation,

she wants to throw him like a regal send off,

the one he deserves, and it's so humbling to me,

'cause I look at myself and I think,

"Who would do that for me?"

And Sharon's been that person for Ozzy,

absolutely without a doubt.

- Nuno! - Your balls are out!

- I hope. - Again.

Ozzy! Ozzy!

It is my dad's last show. We are back to the beginning,

and it is very, very, very emotional.

I can't lie. It is.

He wants to be able to say thank you

to everybody that made him who he is.

And he's getting that moment.

Fuck, I don't even know what he's gonna be feeling.

All right, this is a big event with a lot of moving parts

with a lot of people who adore him.

I've done enough performances with Ozzy

to know that he gets up and he goes.

The time comes... It's time to get on stage and he goes

and he does it and it comes effortlessly natural to him.

As a stage-playing musician,

this is a hell of a way to go.

When I'm, you know, however old that is,

I wonder if there will ever be a gig like that, you know?

Where everybody in the world tried to get a ticket.

It's just beautiful, you know.

The vibe of this thing and the intent is perfect.

Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy!

What I really thought most about

is what it's gonna be like

watching this very public communion and farewell.

And the one thing I know is

those people will not let him go.

Whatever, I don't know how many songs they're going to play.

But I know one thing: Those people will not let him go.

It's hard to explain,

what it's like to live in a fucking basement

and have a shit fucking life,

and when you grow up in Birmingham

or Glendale Heights, Illinois,

and you find that band that fucking speaks to you.

And so to be here with them is so emotional for me.

♪ I'm going through changes ♪

When Ozzy rises out of the bottom of the stage,

on his throne,

and me and Zakk Wylde are standing with him

and the crowd sees Ozzy for the first time...

Wow, that-- I'm gonna remember this for the rest of my life.

You tell me when you're ready and I'll give the sign.

- Are the band up there? - The band should be up there.

The band is ready.

Ozzy! Ozzy! Ozzy!

Intro tape. Intro tape!

Ready for intro tape.

I'm off!

Have a good show, boss.

He said to me the other night,

"I think I'm gonna cry on the last show."

And I said, "Of course you are."

I think there's gonna be a lot of tears from a lot of people.

Ozzy has gone full cycle,

he came, conquered,

he had a brilliant career

and it ended in a brilliant way.

Let me hear you! It's so good to be on this fucking stage.

Ozzy! Ozzy! Ozzy!

I'm nervous. It's my last hurrah.

So it's gonna be pretty emotional for me up there.

I just hope I don't think of Sharon when I'm up there,

'cause then the fucking tears will start coming.

We've done a lot of miles together, me and my old girl.

This is it. This is the last thing.

And I've accepted it, you know.

Are you ready?
