Ozzy Osbourne takes final savage dig at fellow rocker Sting as he proves bitter feud continued until the end in new documentary

by

Ozzy Osbourne playfully jabbed at another musician, joking that while his last moments might be painful, ‘at least I wasn’t Sting’. He made the savage dig while reflecting on his health and mortality, suggesting even a difficult end was preferable to being the singer Sting.

Ozzy Osbourne, the lead singer of Black Sabbath, died on July 22 at the age of 76. He was with his family when he passed away. He had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019. A funeral service was held a week later, on July 30.

A new documentary called Ozzy: No Escape From Now, which covers the last six years of his life, will be available on Paramount+ starting October 7.

Ozzy Osbourne, 74, and The Police’s singer frequently disagreed during their careers. In his well-known reality show, The Osbourne’s, the late rocker was filmed making multiple insulting remarks about the singer.

In new footage obtained by The Sun, Ozzy revealed that he and his family are still not on good terms as he discussed his current health struggles. He showed that the disagreement hasn’t been resolved while opening up about his well-being.

He said: ‘I am really f***ed up with this body of mine and as soon as I want to do anything.

I recently saw a doctor and discovered I have a blood clot. It’s serious enough that there’s a risk to my leg. However, I try to stay positive. I was doing really well and staying active until age 70, and then my health suddenly took a turn for the worse – it felt like the bottom dropped out.

I honestly didn’t expect to reach the age of 40. However, if my time is nearing its end, I truly have no regrets – I’ve lived a wonderful life. Still, things could have been tougher. I could have been Sting.

The Daily Mail have contacted both representatives for the Osbourne’s and Sting for comment.   

During the 2003 Grammys, Sting requested a moment to talk with Kelly Osbourne, Ozzy’s daughter, hoping to resolve a conflict between his son and her.

Back then, my wife Sharon shared: ‘We unexpectedly ran into each other on the red carpet, and we all agreed it was absurd and that careless words can really affect people deeply.’

‘We’re all adults and all apologised and it was great.’

Earlier this week, Ozzy shared his difficult daily health battles in a moving and emotional way during his long-awaited new BBC documentary.

The show, which was removed from the broadcast schedule because the Osbourne family was concerned it wasn’t ready, finally premiered on Thursday.

During the show, Ozzy talked about the challenges he faces every day, explaining that his Parkinson’s disease has significantly affected his ability to move.

Speaking directly to the camera, he openly shared: ‘When I turned 69, I clearly recall thinking to myself, “I’m 69, and I actually feel pretty good.”‘

Right when I turned 70, the darn doors seemed to swing open. I don’t have much stamina and get winded easily when I try to walk any distance.

I used to exercise regularly, but I’m no longer able to. I used to spend an hour each day on the elliptical.

Regarding a frightening accident Ozzy experienced, Sharon shared: ‘Ozzy woke up during the night needing to use the restroom, and on his way back, he stumbled and fell to the floor with a significant impact.‘

Ozzy said: ‘I lay on the floor and said “Sharon get an ambulance I think I’ve broken my neck”.’

Sharon explained that Ozzy’s Parkinson’s, which they refer to as Parkin two, is a condition that begins very early in life. However, it’s usually so mild it goes unnoticed. She added that his spinal injury seemed to accelerate the onset of the condition.

Sharon explained that Ozzy temporarily had no fluid around his spine. This necessitated emergency surgery after his fall, as medics had to intervene quickly.

Looking back on what he was going through, the musician explained: ‘It’s incredibly difficult, but you have to persevere because I have to rebuild everything from the very beginning again.’

Ideally, I’d be healthy and strong enough to perform, but the biggest concern is being unable to perform at all.

As a longtime fan, it was incredibly moving to see the BBC documenting Ozzy and Sharon as they made plans to come back home to the UK for good, not long before he passed away. I felt like I was right there with them, witnessing a really personal and poignant chapter in their lives. It was bittersweet, knowing what was to come, but also beautiful to see them wanting to settle back in their roots.

Just hours before it was scheduled to air in August, Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home – described as a ‘moving and inspirational account of the last chapter’ of the singer’s life – was unexpectedly pulled from TV schedules.

It quickly became clear that the BBC reportedly felt compelled to make last-minute changes because Ozzy Osbourne’s family was concerned about how quickly the show was being produced. They were worried about a race against Paramount+ to release the program documenting the rocker’s final months.

As a lifestyle expert, I was fascinated to learn about the access both streaming platforms had to Ozzy Osbourne during the last three years of his life. Apparently, there was quite a competition between the channels to be the first to release this never-before-seen footage. It really highlights the demand for authentic content and a glimpse into the lives of iconic figures like him. It’s a testament to his enduring appeal that both platforms were so eager to share his story, and a bit of a race to see who could bring it to audiences first. You can find more details on various entertainment news sites.

It was reported that the BBC documentary was delayed because of this, and also due to the family’s concerns about the general feeling and message it conveyed.

Recently, a preview of the Paramount+ documentary showed that Ozzy Osbourne’s farewell concert was a special final present from his wife, Sharon. This came after he faced a six-year health battle and struggled with depression.

The feature-length film, directed by BAFTA award-winner Tania Alexander, will be released on October 7.

The documentary, Ozzy: No Escape From Now, delves into how the legendary Black Sabbath frontman’s ongoing pain impacted his well-being and influenced the music he made later in his career. It examines the connection between his physical suffering and the creative process during his final years.
