In the aftermath of Ozzy Osbourne’s legendary final performance, Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello revealed a delightfully irreverent moment from their last encounter. After the uplifting “Back to the Beginning” benefit concert in Birmingham on July 5, Morello found himself casually playing pinball at the afterparty with his son. Just then, Jack Osbourne interrupted to say that his father wanted to say hi.
Morello described the scene: “I got to, one last time, kiss his head, tell him I love him, thank him for a lifetime of music,” he shared. But true to character, Ozzy’s parting line was a witty—and profane—request: “Could you find Sharon? I want to get the f— out of here.” It was the perfect closing note from the Prince of Darkness himself.
This hilarious yet poignant exchange underscores the enduring legacy of Ozzy—raw, heartfelt, and entirely authentic—right until the very end.
