Alison Hammond was overcome with emotion as she revealed her major Ozzy Osbourne regret live on This Morning.

The rocker died on Tuesday, aged 76, just weeks after he took to the stage for his final show with Black Sabbath, with his family confirming the sad news in a statement.

During Wednesday’s instalment of the ITV show, Alison, 50, revealed that the music legend’s son, Jack, 39, had invited her to what turned out to be his final gig in their shared hometown of Birmingham at Villa Park, but she missed the text message.

She said: ‘It’s so so sad. Do you wanna know something? I had a message from Jack saying, “Come to the concert.” I didn’t see the message.

‘He said, “My mum wants to extend the invitation.” I didn’t see the message, and literally, I looked at it today and I missed it.’

On the verge of tears, the Big Brother legend admitted: ‘I feel so, so bad because I could’ve gone to see him. I’m so sad. But I did watch the concert and I thought it was unbelievable.’

Later on Loose Women, Jane Moore, 63, who is a close friend to the Osbourne’s, shared her insight into Ozzy and Sharon’s marriage after living with them for a brief period of time.

The panellist and journalist lived with the Osbourne family for two weeks while ghost writing Sharon’s memoir, Unbreakable.

And during Wednesday’s instalment of the ITV show, Jane reminisced on her friendship with Ozzy.

After sharing that she initially thought his death was ‘another online hoax’, she gave viewers an insight into the couple’s marriage.

Jane shared: ‘I had this sort of plan that I would wake up very early in the morning, about 7:00am, get yesterday’s notes written up while the house was quiet before the next day started.

‘But Ozzy always used to get up early as well, and he would sit talking to me and because I trained as a journalist in Birmingham, I’m quite used to the Birmingham accent, so I could understand him.

‘It was still quite strong, and a lot of people in LA just didn’t understand a word he was saying.

‘So, he was quite pleased that there was somebody there that could he could chat away with, and he had so many funny stories. You know, and they had a tempestuous marriage over the years.

On the verge of tears, the Big Brother legend admitted: ‘I feel so, so bad because I could’ve gone to see him. I’m so sad. But I did watch the concert and I thought it was unbelievable’

She continued: ‘I did a tour with Sharon last year. She did, like, a talk show on stage where I was the person interviewing her, and I asked her some incredibly honest questions.

‘I mean, she’s probably the most honest person I’ve ever interviewed in my life, and she just sort of told these stories, very matter of factly, but freely admitted they were co-dependent.

‘She said, “I can’t live without him and he can’t live without me.” And he used to say that to me all the time. He used to say, “without Sharon, I would be dead”, and that’s absolutely true, you know, because she saved him from himself so many times over the years.

‘And, you know, a lot of people would look at it and go, “oh, you know, it’s a bit rock and roll, and it’s, dysfunctional family,” but they’re not really, you know, at the heart of it, there’s this incredible love and loyalty for each other.’

The Black Sabbath frontman performed from a throne on stage at Villa Park in Birmingham less than three weeks ago.

In a sad statement confirming his death, his family said on Tuesday evening: ‘It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning.

‘He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.’

The rocker was able to bid an emotional farewell to his fans on stage this month as he reunited with his original Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward for the first time since 2005.

‘You’ve no idea how I feel – thank you from the bottom of my heart,’ Osbourne told the crowd in his final speech.

The music legend vowed, however, that it would be his final ever performance due to his health, having opened up about his battle with Parkinson’s in 2020.

Ozzy revealed earlier this year that he could no longer walk amid his six-year battle with Parkinson’s disease.

However, he still managed to reunite with his bandmates Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward for their final gig earlier this month.

Ozzy was born John Michael Osbourne in Birmingham in 1948, and dropped out of school at the age of 15.

After serving two months in prison for burglary, he decided to pursue his love of music and by 1970, Black Sabbath had gained a huge following in the US and UK with the release of their first album.

Ozzy quit the band in 1978 and divorced his first wife, Thelma, whom he had two children with, four years later, amid his ongoing substance abuse problems.

He went on to marry his second wife, Sharon Osbourne, who helped him transform into a successful solo artist, and the couple had three children together.

Ozzy gained a whole new audience of fans with the family’s reality TV show The Osbournes in 2001.

He is survived by his wife Sharon and his five children, Jessica, Louis, Aimee, Kelly and Jack.
