        He and Sharon have been longtime proponents of euthanasia. It’s entirely possible this was the plan all along.

        Honestly, no judgment either way. Ozzy is a legend, and he died as he lived - on his own terms. RIP.

              There’s a reason he came off so doddering on The Osbournes.

        There were some comments he made after the show that really made it sound like he knew his time was up.

          The emotions he had during a few of the songs, I chalked up to the finality of the performance at the time. Now I definitely feel it was something bigger he knew.

          Singing about end-times in your twenties is cool and edgy. Bringing those same lyrics to his metaphorical death bed, hit totally different and it showed.

          The radio show I was listening to while driving this morning said that concert felt like a tribute except he was technically alive and present.

          Or maybe it was just a ‘shot in the dark’.

        Me too. The man was a legend and a pioneer, and deserved nothing less. RIP Ozzy, it was fun having you in our lives.
