Sharon Osbourne breaks down as she reveals Ozzy's final words before his death: 'Kiss me…hug me tighter’

haron Osbourne revealed Ozzy Osbourne's last words to her as she continues to mourn the loss of her husband of 43 years. 

During an appearance on "Piers Morgan Uncensored," which aired on Wednesday, Sharon, 73, teared up as she recalled her final moments with Ozzy, who died in July at the age of 76 in June following a heart attack. 

Sharon told Morgan that Ozzy had been "up and down" all night before waking her at 4:30 a.m.

"He said, "Wake up" and [I said] 'I’m already bloody awake, you’ve woken me up,'" Sharon remembered. "And he said, 'Kiss me.' And then he said, 'Hug me tight.'"

Sharon emotionally confirmed that those were the last words that the Black Sabbath frontman said to her before he died later that morning. 

The former "The Talk" host explained that Ozzy would often wake up early to exercise and he followed his usual routine on the day of his death. 

"He went downstairs and worked out for 20 minutes and passed away," she said.

Sharon recalled that she discovered Ozzy had died after she heard "screaming" in the house and ran downstairs. 

"They were trying to resuscitate him and I'm like 'Don't. Leave him. Leave him. You can't. He's gone.' I knew instantly he's gone," she recalled. "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.'"

Sharon shared that her grief at the time was so overwhelming she "couldn't function" and she struggled with "regrets" over their last exchange.

"If only I’d have told him I loved him more. If only I’d have held him tighter," she said as she began to cry.

Morgan noted that the couple had known each other for 55 years, since she was a teeanger. Sharon first met Ozzy when Black Sabbath visited the London office of her father, Don Arden, who managed the band. However, the two's relationship did not turn romantic until years later after Ozzy left Black Sabbath’s original lineup and Sharon took over his management of his solo career in 1979. 

"He's just never not been there," she said.

Sharon said she believed Ozzy knew that he was going to die soon before he passed away. She explained that he told her he was having "really vivid dreams" during the final week of his life.

"He was seeing people that he never knew," Sharon told Morgan. ‘I said, ’What kind of people? He goes, 'All different people. And I just keep walking and walking, and I’m seeing all these different people every night and they’re looking at me, and nobody’s talking.'"

"He knew. He was ready," she said.

Two weeks before his death, Ozzy reunited with Black Sabbath to perform at a star-studded farewell show in England, an appropriately dark and electric send-off for one of rock's greatest legends.

During his final show on July 5 at Villa Park, Ozzy expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support as the band, including Tony Iommi, Terence "Geezer" Butler and Bill Ward, performed together for the first time in 20 years.

For the closing set, the legendary rock star was lifted to the stage while sitting on a black throne accompanied by skulls and topped with a black bat. He sang hits like "Crazy Train" and "Mama I’m Coming Home" while remaining seated during the entire set.

"You have no idea how I feel," Ozzy told the crowd. "Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Sharon shared that Ozzy was struggling with health issues in the last year of his life including three bouts of pneumonia and sepsis. 

She said that his medical team advised him against performing at the show with one doctor warning, "If you do this show, that's it. You're not going to get through it."

"And we just sat there and he said, 'I'm doing it. I want to do it and I'm doing it.' And he knew his body was failing him. He was in so much pain.," she said. 

However, Sharon recalled that Ozzy was happier than she had seen him in years after the concert.

"He was just so happy. So, so happy," she said. "And for two weeks he was, you know, really like every day was sunshine for him."

Sharon told Morgan that she and Ozzy had a conversation during which he asked her if she would ever get married again.

"I'm like, "F--- off. Are you joking? Piss off," she recalled telling him. 

"Could you imagine ever marrying anybody else?" Morgan asked her.

Vikings' JJ McCarthy tallies 3 touchdowns, buries Cowboys' playoff chances

The Minnesota Vikings may be eliminated from the playoffs, but the Dallas Cowboys technically weren’t heading into their Sunday night matchup at AT&T Stadium.

The Cowboys’ chances are now at rock bottom after falling to the Vikings, 34-26, on Sunday night.

The Vikings are now 6-8 on the season, while the Cowboys fell to 6-7-1. And though they’re not technically eliminated, the Cowboys’ playoff chances are hanging by a thread now.

It was an inauspicious start for the Vikings in this contest, as J.J. McCarthy very first pass attempt was an interception, as it was tipped at the line by a blitzing Donovan Wilson and Quinnen Williams looked up and hauled it in.

Dak Prescott and the Cowboys’ offense had tremendous field position for their opening drive, and though it took 11 plays to go 35 yards, Javonte Williams was able to nail it into the end zone for the 7-0 lead.

It also wouldn’t have happened without a fake field goal, as Brandon Aubrey, one of the most trusted legs in the NFL, ran for a first down on fourth-and-4 from the Minnesota 29-yard line. However, Aubrey would come up in a not so good way later in this game.

The Vikings were finally able to get something going after the field was flipped on their third drive when Aaron Jones was pushed out of bounds on an 18-yard reception, and the Cowboys were called for a horse collar tackle, tacking on 15 yards. On the very next play, McCarthy fired a touchdown pass to Jalen Nailor — his first of two scores in this one — to tie the game at seven apiece.

The second quarter brought about a wave of offense on both sides, as Dallas responded with Malik Davis rushing one in from a yard out, while McCarthy capped a 75-yard drive with a perfectly executed fake handoff on Dallas’ one-yard line for a walk-in touchdown.

On the ensuing drive, Aubrey, who again has one of the most reliable legs in the game, missed just his third field goal attempt of the year, this one from 51 yards out. After Will Reichard nailed one, Aubrey had some redemption before halftime, as both teams tallied 17 points.

In the second half, the Cowboys ended up with a 23-17 lead thanks to two more Aubrey field goals, but seven points is what they were hoping for. McCarthy helped make it happen with a big pass to Nailor to set up the Vikings in the red zone.

After Justin Jefferson, who struggled in this one despite the targets, not hauling in a touchdown pass, C.J. Ham buried a one-yard touchdown to make it 24-23 after the extra point.

Prescott tried to match his second-year counterpart, but the Cowboys stalled on Minnesota’s 41-yard line. At 59 yards out, it’s well within Aubrey’s range, but he missed yet again. All four of his field goal misses this season have been from 50 yards and beyond.

Now, with the ball near midfield, the Vikings had a chance to further their lead and they got just what they needed. On 1st-and-goal from the Dallas four-yard line, McCarthy found Nailor again and he celebrated as the Vikings went up 31-23.

The Cowboys would turn the ball over on downs on the ensuing drive, and the Vikings saw Aaron Jones pick up multiple first downs to not only keep the clock running, but force Dallas to use all their timeouts. 

In the box score, McCarthy was 15-of-24 for 250 yards with two touchdowns and one interception, as Jordan Addison’s 58-yard catch was among some of his great throws.

For the Cowboys, Prescott was 23-of-38 for 294 yards, though he never threw a touchdown pass. CeeDee Lamb led all receivers in this game with 111 yards on six catches, but George Pickens was kept quiet for the second straight game. He had just three catches for 33 yards.
