OZZY Osbourne was seen having breakfast with his family in a touching final video just two days before his death.
Ozzy's death on Tuesday aged 76 – just 17 days after a farewell gig at the city's Villa Park stadium – drew condolences from stars including Sir Rod Stewart, Noel Gallagher and Sir Elton John.
The legendary rocker died at the family mansion in Buckinghamshire with his wife Sharon, 72, and four of his six children by his side.
Now, the sweet final video he appeared in before his death has emerged.
His daughter Kelly Osbourne, 40, originally shared the video with fans on her Instagram story on July 20, two days before the Black Sabbath legend died.
It showed Ozzy using a tablet whilst sat at a table with his youngest daughter and her two-year-old son Sidney.
Kelly said: "Good morning", before panning the camera to her father who was wearing a pair of headphones as she said, "Dadda, say good morning".
Ozzy leaned forward and replied: "Good morning."
Ozzy passed away surrounded by his family on Tuesday morning, after bravely battling against Parkinson's disease.
Thames Valley Air Ambulance said that a crew had been dispatched to provide "advanced critical care".
The helicopter landed in the grounds of Ozzy's mansion and it is reported the specialist paramedics were at the scene for two hours.
Tragically, they were unable to save the star's life.
The Black Sabbath star's death came just weeks after he took to the stage one final time with his band mates in Birmingham.
Ozzy became known as the "Prince of Darkness" in his six-decade career thanks to his on-stage antics that attracted a legion of heavy rock fans.
Only three weeks ago, Ozzy gave us one last hurrah when heavy metal royalty descended on Villa Park to pay their respects.
The Back to the Beginning gig ended with him – seated on a giant black throne because he could not stand – joining his Black Sabbath muckers on the songs that took him to the world stage.
After the show Ozzy watched on as his daughter Kelly was proposed to by her boyfriend Sid Wilson.
The icon vowed, however, that it would be his final performance due to his deteriorating health, having opened up about his battle with Parkinson's in 2020.
Ozzy was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease back in 2019 and went public with his diagnosis the following year.
As well as mobility issues, the condition caused him to suffer nerve pain, depression and blood clots.
He revealed the sad news in an emotional joint interview with wife Sharon.
The singer told Good Morning America that he couldn't hide his health struggles any longer.
The legend cemented his place in rock history early in his career with controversial displays such as biting the head off a bat.
The stunt came in 1982, during a performance in Des Moines, Iowa, when a fan threw the animal on stage.
Ozzy, believing it to be made of rubber, bit into the carcass, and later had to be plied with rabies shots.
