Jack Osbourne Opens Up About The Moment He Learned Ozzy Had Died

Ozzy Osbourne’s youngest son Jack is opening up about the heartbreaking moment he learned his father had died.

The late rocker died of a heart attack at his home in Buckinghamshire, England, in July. Now, weeks later, Jack is sharing the personal story of how he found out about his father’s death in a video posted to his YouTube channel on Wednesday.

“It’s been six weeks since my father passed,” Jack recalled, after addressing concerns from his followers, which he admits “has not been” his “priority”.

He went on to share that his father passed around “10 o’ clock in the morning, U.K. time”. At the time, Jack was in Los Angeles, where he had been staying for “about a week” following his dad’s final performance.

On 5 July, Ozzy performed what would be his last show at Villa Park in Birmingham, England. Jack stayed behind with his family and children, calling it “an amazing week”.

“My family and I were scheduled to go on vacation on 7 July,” he then shared.

But their plans changed when all his kids came down with a stomach virus that Jack describes as “really gross”. The illness forced the family to postpone their trip – giving Jack unexpected, treasured time with his father. He shared that during that week, Ozzy had been in good spirits on a daily basis.

Looking back, he jokingly said he was “so grateful” his kids had the stomach flu.

After leaving on 13 July, he received the news. “I woke up in Los Angeles to a knock on my house door at around 3:45 in the morning [from] someone who has worked for my family for God [about] 30 years now was knocking on my door,” Jack recalled.

Once he realised who it was, he said he “knew something bad had happened,” and he was soon informed his dad had died. What followed was a wave of “sadness” and “pain”.

Jack said he “wishes” Ozzy was still here, but finds comfort in knowing that he’s no longer “suffering anymore.”

“No one expected it to happen as quickly as it did and when it did,” Jack said.

Sabrina Carpenter Reveals How Barry Keoghan Split Influenced Her New Album

Sabrina Carpenter has revealed how her public break-up inspired her latest album Man’s Best Friend.

In early 2024, it was revealed that the Grammy winner was dating the actor Barry Keoghan, until it was reported towards the end of last year that they had parted ways.

During a new interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music, Sabrina spoke cryptically about the “intention” behind her latest release, while alluding to her recent split.

“I think I came out of a sad situation, a lot less bitter than I intended or expected to,” the Espresso singer began. “With a little bit more of the like, ‘you know what? There’s two people involved and this is part of growing up’.”

She continued: “I don’t want to be enemies with people that I loved. I loved them. I think obviously it depends on what happens and what goes down and how much you feel like you can truly trust that person.

“But I feel like it is one of those situations where even the album starting with ‘Oh, boy’ was sort of an eye roll to yourself being like, ‘here we go again’. And I think that that’s something that feels very reflective of this time in my life where you don’t really have a lot of time to sort of mope and weep.

“You kind of just got to get back out there – not even in a dating way, not even in a romantic way – just get back out there in terms of, if you’re staying inside and you’re thinking about how everything’s going wrong, everything’s going to go wrong and you’re going to be inside. But a lot of life is truly happening out there.

“So it’s that switching on that mindset of being like, ‘you know what? Just because you deal with something that’s difficult and maybe really hurts you, doesn’t mean that you’re damaged, doesn’t mean you can’t do it again, doesn’t mean you can’t open yourself up’. And I think this one was a newer heartbreak experience for me.”

Sabrina’s fans immediately thought of the Saltburn star earlier this year when it was announced that the lead single from Man’s Best Friend would be titled Manchild (which went on to become her fourth UK number one single).

During an interview which aired on CBS Mornings last week, anchor Gayle King brought up the online “backlash” that Barry had been subjected to because of Sabrina’s “very loyal” fans, to which she responded: “Correct.”

“You know what’s funny? I feel pretty transparent going into any of my relationships, that I write songs. And I think they’re just as down for it,” she insisted, when asked if she felt bad for the online abuse levelled at her ex.

“I think also most of the time, [my exes have been] pretty flattered when they get a song written about them, good or bad.”

Sabrina then insisted: “I think they’re just excited to get a shout-out. I’m not scared of men in that sense. I am scared of men sometimes, but I’m not scared in that sense.

“I think I will attract exactly who I’m supposed to attract.”

During their relationship, Sabrina and Barry made several public appearances together, including when he co-starred in her Please Please Please music video.

In the days after their split was made public, the Oscar-nominated actor announced he was taking a step back from social media due to hateful comments that were being posted on his accounts, specifically about his appearance, upbringing and skills as a father.
