Ozzy Osbourne<\/a> told Tony Iommi he felt “tired and really worn out” just hours before he died.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Tony Iommi has shared his final conversation with Ozzy Osbourne<\/p>\n
The Black Sabbath star passed away in July 2025 at the age of 76 just weeks after taking to the stage for his final concert with the band in Birmingham, England – and now Tony has revealed he spoke to his pal the night before his death and assured him the fatigue he was feeling was normal after putting on such a huge show.<\/p>\n
During an appearance on the Loudwire Nights podcast, Tony said: “I spoke to him the night before he passed. He said to me: ‘I really feel tired and really worn out’.<\/p>\n
“I said: ‘Well, you\u2019re bound to really, it\u2019s been a lot of stress and pressure and stuff like that’. And the next thing, the next day, [he\u2019s] gone.”<\/p>\n
\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Tony added of his pal: “It still feels like he\u2019s there.”<\/p>\n
\nThe guitarist also admitted the Back To The Beginning concert was difficult because of Ozzy’s declining health – and he wasn’t used to seeing the singer sit down during concerts.<\/p>\n
\nHe said: “It was difficult because seeing Ozzy sitting in a throne is not the way I see him. Always [when] we\u2019ve been on stage, he\u2019s been running around, and he\u2019d run up to [bassist] Geezer [Butler] and pull a face jokingly and come over to me and pull a face or the drummer or whatever. <\/p>\n
\n“We always had a little laugh on stage and enjoy when he\u2019d run about.<\/p>\n
\n“But at Back To The Beginning, of course, he\u2019s in a throne, and I couldn\u2019t see him, which felt very unusual. I stood back by [drummer] Bill [Ward]. <\/p>\n
\n“But it was a great moment, and I\u2019m really glad we could get the opportunity to do it, because I mean, God, we didn\u2019t know he was going to go that quick.<\/p>\n
\n“But he did \u2026 There\u2019s memories that will remain there, from rehearsals to the whole thing \u2026 I am glad that we could do that gig.”<\/p>\n
\nDuring the podcast, Tony also insisted Ozzy was pleased he was able to perform for his fans one last time.<\/p>\n
\nHe added: “He was really happy with it, that we could do it, you know.”<\/p>\n
