Two weeks before his final concert in his hometown of Birmingham, England, Ozzy Osbourne leaned his chin atop his cane and said to his beloved wife Sharon, "After this gig, I'm looking forward to hanging up my microphone and spending some time with you. After this gig, we're free."
Sharon agrees and tells the camera in the next scene, "I just want to find a little bubble somewhere and live out our life together."
It is a heartbreaking plan, in retrospect, knowing that 17 days after Osbourne reunited with Black Sabbath at that final July 5 gig, he died at his home in Buckinghamshire, England, at age 76.
But while the Osbournes didn't get a fairytale coda to the nearly seven years of agonizing health issues Ozzy endured, their devotion to each other is repeatedly on display in the Paramount+ documentary "Ozzy: No Escape From Now" (streaming Oct. 7).
