Rage Against the Machine star reflects on meeting Ozzy Osbourne weeks before his death
- Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello believes Ozzy Osbourne knew he was close to death during his final Black Sabbath performance in Birmingham.
- Osbourne, aged 76, died on 22 July, just two weeks after the farewell show at Villa Park, which Morello helped curate.
- Fans who watched the live-streamed event also felt Osbourne was determined to perform his last gig despite being frail for some time.
- The concert was hailed as a "spiritually great moment" for rock fans and raised funds for Cure Parkinson's, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Acorn Children’s Hospice.
- Osbourne's death certificate listed acute myocardial infarction and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest as primary causes, with coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease as contributing factors.
