Jack reflected for the first time about his last week with his father, after Ozzy’s farewell show, Back to the beginningin England. “After my father’s show at Birmingham, I stayed there, spent a week with family at home with my children. It was a really amazing week”Jack said, adding that his family should have spent vacation in Portugal after the show, but his children contracted a gastroenteritis, which forced them to cancel their trip and lodge at Ozzy and Sharon’s house.
“My father was in a good mood. Every day he opened the newspaper and saw different reviews and stories from the Back to The Beginning show, and it was great. It was a lot of fun, I kind of look back now, and I was never so grateful for my children to have gastroenteritis as I am today.”
After that week in Birmingham, Jack returned to Los Angeles, where – after a week back – he learned of his father’s death.
“I woke up in Los Angeles with a knock on the door around 3:45 am. Someone who works for my family 30 years ago was knocking on my door. When I looked out the window and saw that it was him, I knew something bad had happened. And I was informed that my father had died.”

It wasn’t something that was on our radar.”
However, Jack said later that he was grateful for the moment of Ozzy’s death, as soon as the Back to The Beginning show: “There is almost a perfection in this. He managed to say goodbye in such a deep way.”
