Geezer Butler

My 12yr old kiddo is a huge Ozzy/ Sabbath fan. We live in Spain now and couldn’t make it to the gig (he was gutted) but did watch the live stream šŸ¤ŸšŸ¼ We were home to visit family when the sad news broke. This has been our little pilgrimage…. definitely a moment in time we won’t forget. RIP Ozzy šŸ–¤šŸ’œšŸ–¤

Geezer Butler He showed up barefoot on my doorstep. Thatā€™s how it all began. No fanfare, no lightning bolt from the sky ā€” just a young man with a wild grin and a spark in his eye that didnā€™t quite match the worn soles of his feet. ā€œOkay,ā€ I said, half-joking, ā€œyouā€™re in the band.ā€ I had no idea Iā€™d just opened the door to 57 years of madness, laughter, music, and, eventually, the kind of grief that clutches your chest and makes the world a little dimmer. Ozzy Osbourne wasnā€™t just the frontman of Black Sabbath. To me, he was the laugh that echoed through the chaos, the friend who always picked up the phone when life hurt too much to speak. Even now, as I try to put this all into words, I still see him ā€” not the myth, not the legend, but the man. The Ozzy whoā€™d give you the shirt off his back, then moon you to lighten the mood. The one who, even in his final days, dragged himself into rehearsals with a cane sparkling like something out of a pirateā€™s treasure chest. He could barely stand. He barely spoke. But damn it, he showed up. Thatā€™s who he was. We had drifted, as people do. After our 2017 tour, life took us in different directions. I hadnā€™t seen or spoken to him in years ā€” until Aston Villa brought us back together. Standing again in that stadium where weā€™d once run wild as kids, something clicked. It felt like coming home, in the most bittersweet way. July 5, at Villa Park, was our last bow. But none of us knew it. We thought we had more time. Isnā€™t that always the story? At the rehearsal, I saw the toll time and illness had taken. It hurt. Ozzy, once larger than life, needed help just to get through a few songs. But he didnā€™t complain. He sat, he sang, and he smiled that crooked smile that said, ā€œLetā€™s do this one more time.ā€ We didnā€™t talk much that night. We shouldā€™ve. But backstage, with cameras flashing and people buzzing, it all felt like a blur. There was no hug, no epic farewell. Just a handshake, a cake, and a hole in my chest I couldnā€™t name at the time. I keep thinking about all the things I shouldā€™ve said. I shouldā€™ve told him how much I admired his strength, how his loyalty shaped my own. I shouldā€™ve told him he was the heart of Sabbath ā€” not just the scream, not just the spectacle, but the soul. I shouldā€™ve thanked him for those late-night calls, especially when my son was fighting for his life. Ozzy called every day, even when we werenā€™t speaking. That was who he was ā€” more than a bat-biting wild man, more than the Prince of Darkness. He was the Prince of Laughter. A man with a filthy joke on his lips and a golden heart beating underneath. People will remember the madness ā€” the doves, the Alamo, the chaos. But Iā€™ll remember a man who, when no one else was watching, reached out his hand and held tight. Iā€™ll remember the invisible bond between us four ā€” Ozzy, Tony, Bill, and me ā€” forged in smoke, sweat, and sound. We were brothers once. We always will be. And now, the house is quiet. The musicā€™s stopped. I keep listening for that laugh, that off-key hum, that Ozzy-ism that made even the darkest days feel absurdly light. But itā€™s gone, and the silence is deafening. I wish we had more time, mate. I wish I had just one more night, one more laugh, one more song. But as you always said ā€” wish in one hand, and, well, you know the rest. Rest easy, Oz. Itā€™s been one hell of a ride. Ozzy Osbourne ā¤ļø

Over the course of his solo career, the late Ozzy Osbourne worked with a long line of guitar greats, but his partnership with Zakk Wylde is one of his most enduring. Wylde became Ozzy’s longest-serving (and, for many, definitive) guitarist, and contributed to some of his greatest records and tours. In this classic GW cover feature from May 2018, published around the time of Ozzy’s farewell tour, the pair reflected on their three-decade partnership, and discussed how they became metal’s most beloved pairing…

They had planned a quiet memorial. But then Sharon Osbourne stepped forward, her hands trembling as she held a yellowed envelope. Kelly stood besides her, pale, eyes full of tears. My father…. he knew this was coming long time ago,” she said, voice breaking. Sharon then revealed a secret Ozzy had kept for decades -a truth written in a single, scaled letter, hidden in his private safe. The letter, dated 1994, began with a chilling line: “if you’re reading this, then the time has come.” No one at the funeral – not even his closet friend – could have imaged Ozzy had predicted his own death, even describing when his health would begin to fail. But the real shock was the reason: Ozzy hadn’t simply passed from age or illness…. He made a choice. A sacrifice. Sharon, who had stayed silent for years, finally confused: “Ozzy once told me, ‘I’m not afraid to die. I’m only afraid of leaving before I’ve made things right,” And he did. Even if no one ever knew.” DETAILS IN COMMENT SECTION……
