Jack Osbourne remembers the exact moment he knew his father was "done."
TheBlack Sabbath frontmandied on July 22 at 76-years-old, with his wifeSharonand their children by his side. In the months before his passing, Ozzy had been openly struggling with health problems, yet remained determined to take the stage with the heavy metal band once last time.

While appearing on the March 5 episode of the HATE TO BREAK IT TO YA podcast, Jack remembered the singer making the shocking admission while he was putting him to bed. Ozzy also shared another thought that sparked alarm for his son.
"Right before I left, I was putting him to bed and he was like brushing his teeth or whatever," Jack remembered. "He was looking at himself in the mirror and he goes, 'I think I'm going to cut my hair off.'"
His son asked him why, prompting Ozzy to say, "I've retired. I'm not a rock star anymore."

The media personality found his father's statement strange considering he only cut his hair short once and shaved his head "once to p--s my mom off" in the 80s.
"So I think about that and I'm like yeah, he was done. He was okay with his journey," he concluded.
DespiteJackalready having a feeling his father's life was coming to an end, his death still came as a shock for the family.
"Obviously everyone knew he was sick… but we weren't expecting it to be as quick as it was. He was up, he was doing his thing, had some breakfast, and that was it," he mentioned.
Ozzy died from complications related to his long battle with Parkinson's disease. Air ambulance paramedics worked for two hours attempting to resuscitate the singer after being called to his residence.
On a previous episode ofPiers MorganUncensored, Ozzy's wife recalled the day of his passing.
"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,'" Sharon said. "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.'"
The singer's death certificate showed that the Prince of Darkness experienced an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, and Parkinson's disease with autonomic dysfunction (joint causes).
His occupation was listed as "rock legend, songwriter, and performer."
