The Black Sabbath bassist shared details of Osbourne’s final performance, including how “frail” he had become, in an essay for the Sunday Times. Butler said the iconic rocker needed the assistance of three people while rehearsing and had to sit down while he sang.

Mr Rumney, who plays in a band called Zero, said Black Sabbath had been a "big part" of his life since he was 12. He and his bandmates paid tribute to the momentous day Earth became Black Sabbath with a blue plaque in Workington in 2022.

Those who adored Ozzy Osbourne will have a chance to pay homage to the legendary rock legend before he's laid to rest by close friends and family in a “small, private funeral."

The Black Sabbath frontman, who passed away last week at age 76, would “would never [have] want[ed] a mope-fest,” a source shared.
