😢 Alison Hammond Breaks Down in Tears on This Morning Over Heartfelt Regret About Ozzy Osbourne
“I never got to tell him how much he meant to me.” Alison’s on-air breakdown leaves viewers emotional after the rock legend’s death.
LONDON, UK — Fans were left emotional on Friday morning as This Morning presenter Alison Hammond broke down in tears live on-air, revealing a deeply personal regret about the late music icon Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away earlier this week at the age of 76.
During a special tribute segment reflecting on the rock legend’s life and legacy, Alison opened up about a long-held emotional connection to Ozzy’s music — and the pain of never having the chance to thank him in person.
💔 “His Music Got Me Through So Much…”
Alison, visibly shaken and holding back tears, told co-host Dermot O’Leary and viewers:
“I just… I feel so, so bad. I grew up listening to Ozzy. His music was with me during some of the hardest moments in my life — especially when I felt lost or alone.”
“He was raw, he was honest, and he never pretended to be perfect. That gave me strength. I never told him that. I never thanked him.”
As Alison paused to collect herself, the studio remained silent. Dermot placed a comforting hand on her back and simply said, “That’s the power of music, Al. And he knew. I’m sure he knew.”
🖤 A Tribute That Touched the Nation
The moment quickly went viral, with clips from the broadcast spreading across social media platforms. Fans and celebrities alike expressed their admiration for Alison’s vulnerability and praised her for speaking so openly.

🎶 More Than Just a Rock Legend
Ozzy Osbourne, widely known as the “Prince of Darkness” and the frontman of Black Sabbath, was also a deeply reflective artist whose struggles with addiction, illness, and fame were always front and center in his music.
It’s that vulnerability that Alison said connected her to him:
“He wore his pain. He didn’t hide it. That made me — and millions of people — feel seen. When you’re growing up with nothing, hearing someone like Ozzy talk about survival, it gives you hope.”
📺 ITV’s Tribute and Community Response
ITV aired a brief montage of Ozzy’s greatest career moments, from Sabbath’s early days to his solo triumphs and iconic reality show with wife Sharon Osbourne.
Following Alison’s tribute, viewers flooded This Morning’s inbox with messages of support:
“Alison just made me cry over my tea. Thank you for giving voice to what Ozzy meant to us all.”
“We need more presenters like her — who aren’t afraid to feel.”
🕊️ Final Word
As the segment ended, Alison shared one final message, her voice trembling:
“Wherever you are, Ozzy… thank you for helping me keep going when I thought I couldn’t. I hope you’re at peace now.”
