Overview

• Watt says his conversation with Osbourne the day before the singer died on July 22 felt entirely normal, describing the loss as a shock.
• He calls the July 5 Villa Park farewell in Birmingham “unbelievable,” likening the gathering of artists and friends to a “heavy metal summer camp.”
• The producer highlights how making Ordinary Man (2020) and Patient Number 9 (2022) gave Osbourne purpose during recovery from illness and a 2019 accident.
• Official records cite out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction tied to coronary artery disease, and Parkinson’s disease with autonomic dysfunction as causes of death.
• Legacy activity continues with BBC One’s Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home scheduled for Oct. 2 and a charity “War Pigs” cover released, while any unreleased studio material remains unconfirmed.
