Ozzy Osbourne

John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne (3 December 1948 – 22 July 2025) was an English singer,

songwriter, and media personality. He co-founded the pioneering heavy metal band

Black Sabbath in 1968, and rose to prominence in the 1970s as their lead vocalist.

During this time, he adopted the title "Prince of Darkness". He performed on the band's

first eight albums, most notably including Black Sabbath, Paranoid (both 1970)

and Master of Reality (1971), before he was fired in 1979 due to his problems

with alcohol and other drugs. His primary cause of death was a heart attack

and cardiac arrest, with coronary artery disease and Parkinson's

disease with autonomic dysfunction listed as associated factors

"This reality allows me to see you and communicate. How is this not the number one news story of the century and why is it being suppressed

and ridiculed all the time? We are continuous. The dark and the light.

Oh, my fucking Christ. Sorry, I did promise not to swear so much but

no one would believe it to be me if I didn’t continue to use my

colorful language that I am known for!"

Good morning,

I can’t believe you are finally ready for me. It takes you longer to get ready for me than it does Sharon to get ready for a tv show appearance.

I have been spending some time thinking about what was really important for me to say. After our first contact yesterday, I had so much fun with you and your helper that I didn’t want to step back. How amazing that you can hear me so well. It was as if I was standing right with you and we were having this regular conversation, you know? I could hardly believe it. Now today, it gets a bit more serous 'cause I really want my time with you to matter. I don’t want to waste time talking about my accolades or my faults. I don’t want to talk about my music career and all that goes with it. I just want to give a message of peace and hope. And I want my family to know that yes, indeed, I have arrived and just to let those Christian warmongers know that I have definitely reached the gates of Heaven and have by passed hell all together…lol

It is quite beautiful here. I knew that I would be led to a place, but I had no idea truly, as to what it would be like. I did hope that I could get there soon and that I could bypass any purgatory as the Catholics believe in. I just wanted to feel safe and directed to my eternal home, if there was such a place. Now I find myself in this beautiful garden and yet, I am still connected to the earth because I am communicating through you, a medium in Southern California that I have never heard of. I was brought here by an auntie, a great aunt really. I was surprised by who it was that came to get me. But I recognized her instantly as family and then I knew it was real. I felt that if a famous rocker etc. brought me to the light that just might be wishful thinking. However, it was a family member and then there were more, a few of Sharon’s relatives as well. Then I knew I had really left my body for once and for all and that it was over. My life as Ozzy was complete, or at least over.

The first thing I noticed was this tremendous sense of peace washing over me. For the last few years, I had been so medicated that the real world was always shifting. My sense of myself in my body was declining as I needed more medication on a regular basis. My body was complicated by the chronic nature of having Parkinson’s. The quality of my life went downhill pretty quickly. I was grateful for the time I did have. After all the years of me self-abusing it was a wonder I was alive. I credit it all to my beautiful wife, Sharon.

I want it on record that I was very aware of my family’s love and devotion. I had no idea that I would leave so quickly after my final concert. I was just so happy that I was able to complete it and that I didn’t make a fool of myself. There were certain things I couldn’t really control about myself, and I was very happy that those problems did not wield their ugly heads into my performance. I felt like I had transcended. My mind just went into all those other performances I had completed over the many years of my career. I began to feel this euphoric space and it carried me through the pain and the knowledge that I had some help. I would like to think that I was pretty good at letting myself go and float with the lyrics of the music. I still had to have a clear head about it all, but the more relaxed I was the more flowing everything became. I remembered so much. It was as if I was 30 years old again but without the use of all the heavy drugs and alcohol that I had been using at the time. I had this spectacular chance for this “do over”. A chance when I could remember everything and enjoy every moment of my time on the stage. However, it was so odd because I just went to the elevated space within myself and was having all these flashbacks as I was singing. It was simply amazing. I had to pinch myself occasionally so I would remember that there were thousands of people enjoying this performance with me. What a total mindfuck it was, this interchange between me, my memories and the audience. I am so grateful I was able to complete it. It flowed just like clockwork.

I know that you were never a heavy metal person, but you have shown me that your son-in-law is. Perhaps he might be receptive to reading this message?

How does your family deal with your gift? Do they even realize who you are? You are America’s best kept secret!

In case you are wondering I was brought to you by a group of musicians who knew I was supposed to have a platform after I died, after my body died. They didn’t tell me at first where they were taking me, but David Bowie, go figure, And the Purple Rain guy plus my Rhoads (Randy) dude brought me to you. Prince said you wouldn’t let him channel through you because you didn’t think he would be interested in you as a medium. Because of you refusing him he says now you know that you shouldn’t turn down those who have been “approved” for being in your space. Michael (Jackson) brought the popcorn because he couldn’t wait to see how you handled me. I must say you have quite an impressive entourage with you.

I am more impressed by your ease and comfort with me. I am impressed that you are not impressed by me but rather are just really open to hearing my story. I am grateful that you don’t carry any prejudices about my music, or my persona created purely to entertain. Sure, there was commentary about the world along the way, but what musician in their truth doesn’t make comments about what is going on in the world or how we are conditioned to think and behave? You and I are so close in age, so we have the same kind of reference points in our upbringing, even though it was in different countries. I see that your father was a Scottish immigrant, and your mom was first generation. British Isle heritage gives us a complimentary energy. I can feel it and it makes me feel comfortable, if not totally safe.

The last few things I wish to communicate have to do with my family.

My dearly amazing wife, Sharon. To you I owe my life. Because of you I lived as long as I did. You brought me back to safety so many times. You put up with all my shenanigans and wonderings for so many years. You loved a broken man who just wished to sing, to bring something to the table in order to entertain and help others find something wildly delicious to keep things moving in a somewhat boring, if not tragic world. I can’t say it enough: I have loved and will continue to love you for eternity. We talked about what would happen after I passed. You believe in the afterlife, clearly, and you would be right. We talked about communicating after I left and that I would begin right away. Well, here I am. I don’t know how long it will take this message to reach you because Jeanne has kept herself hidden for various reasons, which I appreciate. However, she is the best. I will try others, too, to get my point across but I wanted to go to the best first. I am HAPPY I am free. I can see clearly. Oh, the things I can see from where I am right now. You know I am visiting you, although you just get so sad and cry so much. Please don’t cry my beautiful Sharon, I am right here with you. There is no time or space. We are all right here together. The veil is not very thick, especially if you know how to look. I am very fortunate because there are so many here with me already and they are teaching me how to look, to move about this structure of infinity. I have so much to remember/learn now that I am here. I will never leave you. You are my best friend, my confidant, my muse. The mother of my children and the grandmother to such beautiful, amazing grandbabies. I will always walk with you and continue to enjoy the life that we have made together. I am so hoping that our children will allow me to enter their space and talk with them too. From here I am already sorry for so much in my life. So many here to help me understand, to learn and to heal. I will continue to be a better person for my children, and I will continue to be with you all at our home. It is only my body that is gone. Please remember that.

It is overwhelming really. This reality allows me to see you and communicate. How is this not the number one news story of the century and why is it being suppressed and ridiculed all the time? We are continuous. The dark and the light. Oh, my fucking Christ. Sorry, I did promise not to swear so much but no one would believe it to be me if I didn’t continue to use my colorful language that I am known for!

I am being told to wrap this up for now. So, I guess the last thing I have to say is that I love you all! That is the God’s honest truth. I love you all. I feel so much love from the world, but I want to turn that around so that the world can feel the very love it is sending out into the Universe and directing to me. We can sing and speak about the darkness, but it doesn’t have to dictate our lives or dominate our feelings. I sang about it because it gave me a certain freedom I didn’t have in my head. I was broken and suffering for many reasons. My therapy was entertaining and going against the mainstream. I used drugs and alcohol to help me live in my darkness, but I by no means wanted to stay there. My life has been a slow response to finding peace and a different meaning. I just wanted to create, I wanted to express my frustrations, and I met with so many who resonated in the same way for almost the same reasons. However, the choice was still there for me to choose what type of man I wished to be. It was never easy, but it was always there for me again and again, even when I would fuck up and prove to the haters that I perhaps was a darkness to be left alone. There were many who believed in me, even when I didn’t. There are many who gave me so many chances even when I didn’t deserve any. A band like Black Sabbath would probably not be created in this decade of thinking. The rebelliousness needed has been tampered with. It has been pushed underground. Souls are being stollen, not by the devil but by the mindlessness of the culture drawn to iPhones and a constant endless streaming of dribble. Maybe our show about the Osbournes seemed to be about the mundane and perhaps seemed even pointless. But at the time we felt it might be fun to do and have people see that there can be a separation between the man who entertains and the man who lives and loves to be with his family. Life experiencing life.

Thank you, Jeanne, for giving me your Saturday to get this all out. It has truly been a pleasure. I am forever grateful to you, a classically trained singer, to allow this wretched old rocker a bit of time with you to contact my family to let them know that I AM STILL HERE.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

OZZY
