“He Was Still Our John… Not a Rock God, Just Our Baby Brother” — Ozzy’s Sisters Reveal the Haunting Last Words He Texted Just Days Before His Death

The world was left in shock and mourning when Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary frontman of Black Sabbath and icon of rock music, passed away on July 24, 2024. Known as the “Prince of Darkness,” Ozzy had lived a life full of highs and lows, both in his career and personal struggles. As the world grieved the loss of one of rock’s greatest legends, his family was left with their own unique sorrow—a sorrow tinged with questions and unsaid words.

In a revealing and emotional interview, Ozzy’s sisters, Jean and Iris, shared the haunting last words that their brother texted them just days before his death. Despite his frail condition, which left him almost unrecognizable in his final days, Ozzy’s last message to his family carried an unmistakable sense of warmth, love, and a promise that was tragically left unfulfilled.

The Last Visit: A Promise Made

Ozzy’s family had always known him not as the rock god he became, but as the baby brother—someone who, despite the fame and stardom, was deeply loved by his siblings. His sisters recall a man who, even in his last days, teased and laughed with them, his spirit still intact despite the frailty of his body. “He was still our John,” Iris explained, using a nickname that was reserved for the brother they remembered before the world knew him as Ozzy Osbourne.

Just days before his death, Ozzy had promised his sisters he would return to see them in a few days. He stood before them during that final visit, with his spine bent and his body weak from years of physical and emotional battles. But, despite the toll age and illness had taken on him, there was still a glint of mischief in his eyes, a remnant of the man they had known as their younger brother.

“He was still laughing,” Jean recalled, her voice thick with emotion. “He was always joking around. That was our John, always with a smile and a laugh. It was hard to see him like that, but it felt like he was still there, in spirit.”

They had no idea that the visit would be their last, and the promise he made to them—that he would return—would go unfulfilled. A few days later, the family received the devastating news of his passing, and with it, a final message from Ozzy that would forever haunt them.

The Final Message: A Whisper of Goodbye

The text that Ozzy sent to his sisters in his final days has taken on a new significance in light of his death. The message was brief but laden with emotion. Ozzy’s words, though simple, have taken on a haunting quality now that he is gone.

Jean and Iris revealed that the text read: “I love you both, don’t worry, I’ll be back soon. See you in a few days.” At the time, it seemed like just another message from a man who had often been playful and unpredictable. But now, with the benefit of hindsight, his sisters cannot help but wonder whether those words were more than just a casual remark.

“It’s strange,” Iris said. “We were waiting for him to come back. He promised he would. And then… silence. The next message we got wasn’t from him. It was the news that he was gone.”

The simplicity of the message, paired with the circumstances surrounding his sudden death, has left his family grappling with the thought that Ozzy may have known something that he didn’t share. “He was always a fighter,” Jean added. “Even at the end, I don’t think he was ready to say goodbye, but maybe he knew something we didn’t. Maybe he was preparing us without saying it outright. It’s hard not to wonder if he was trying to tell us something in that last text, something we just didn’t catch.”

The Unread Text: A Final Secret?

The question that now lingers in the minds of Ozzy’s family and close friends is whether Ozzy truly knew the end was near—and if so, why didn’t he tell them more? Did he understand that his time was running out, or was his death a sudden, unforeseen tragedy?

Some have speculated that the answer may lie in an unread text that Ozzy sent to another member of the family in his final days. According to sources close to the family, Ozzy had sent one final message to someone in his inner circle—someone who was very close to him, but who has yet to come forward publicly. This text, they say, could hold the key to understanding the true nature of Ozzy’s final days and whether he was preparing himself—and his family—for the inevitable.

For Jean and Iris, the idea that there may be an unanswered message from their brother is almost too much to bear. “I wish we had known,” Jean said. “I wish he had told us what he was feeling, or if he knew something was wrong. But we’ll never know. He was always a man of mystery. I guess he kept that right until the end.”

The Question of Silence: What Did Ozzy Know?

As the world continues to mourn the loss of Ozzy Osbourne, his family is left with not only their grief but also unanswered questions. The Prince of Darkness, a man who lived a life full of rock star excesses, wild behavior, and unpredictable moments, was also, at his core, a loving brother, husband, and father. His final days were marked by a deep sense of vulnerability, but also a strength that carried through until his last moments.

His family’s reflections on his final words have prompted them to reconsider everything they knew about Ozzy. Did he truly know that the end was near? Was he trying to prepare them without speaking the words outright? The final message he sent to his sisters, along with the silence that followed, is a mystery that may never be fully understood.

In the end, Ozzy Osbourne’s death is a reminder that even the strongest among us have vulnerabilities and secrets that are kept close to the heart. As his family continues to mourn, they can only hold onto the memories of a man who was, to them, not a rock god but their beloved brother—the man who brought laughter, joy, and music into their lives.

The answers to the questions left behind may be buried with Ozzy, or they may remain hidden in a final text that, for now, remains unread. Only time will tell if those words will ever surface, but for now, his family’s love and their unspoken goodbyes will be the legacy they carry forward.
