During an appearance on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” Ozzy Osbourne’s widow Sharon further opened up about the singer’s final hours. She also revealed that his final words to her were “Kiss me.” and “Hug me tight.”

Sharon said the following about Ozzy’s last week:

“He had told me that he was ­having dreams in the last week of his life. He was seeing people that he never knew. I said, ‘Well, what kind of people?’ He goes, ‘All different people. And I just keep walking and walking, and I’m seeing all these different people every night, and I go back there and I’m looking at these people, and they’re looking at me, and nobody’s talking’. And he knew. He was ready.”

She went on to discuss his final night:

“[Ozzy] was up and down to the bathroom all night, and it was like 4.30 and he said, ‘Wake up’. I said, ‘I’m already bloody awake, you’ve woken me up’. And he said, ‘Kiss me’. And then he said, ‘Hug me tight’. I can’t help wondering if I should have, could I have? If only I’d have told him I loved him more. If only I’d have held him tighter. And he went downstairs, worked out for 20 minutes and passed away.”

She also said she heard yelling when she woke up that morning and found him being worked on downstairs:

“I ran downstairs, and there he was, and they were trying to resuscitate him, and I’m like, ‘Don’t. just leave him. Leave him. You can’t. He’s gone.’”

She continued:

“I knew instantly he’d gone. And they tried and tried, and then they took him by helicopter to the hospital and they tried, and it’s like, ‘He’s gone. Just leave him.’”

Sharon also confirmed that Ozzy knew his time was coming before his final show:

“Very much so, because he’d been so ill this year — terribly, terribly ill. And when we came to England and we were meeting with new doctors here, a new medical team for him, the main doctor said to him, ‘If you do this show, that’s it. You’re not going to get through it.’ But we just sat there, and he said, ‘I’m doing it. I want to do it, and I’m doing it.’”

She added:

“He knew his body was failing him. He was in so much pain, so much pain. And I mean, you know, he had pneumonia three times this year. He’d had sepsis. That’s what really, really destroyed him. He was on these shots of antibiotics. It used to take 20 minutes for the shot to go in, and he had that twice a day, and it kills everything in you, the good, the bad, everything. So much antibiotics, and he just couldn’t get over that. He just couldn’t.”

Despite this, she says he stayed determined to do the show:

“He just wanted it so bad to say thank you to everyone. And I think he honestly did know that, he, he was done. That was his time. And I think he honestly did know that, he, he was done. That was his time.”

She also confirmed that he was happy after the concert:

“He was so happy afterwards. He kept looking at the papers, and he goes to me, ‘I never knew so many people liked me’, but that was the way he was. I mean, he knew he was famous, but not the amount that people loved him. It’s a whole different thing, and he was just so happy, so so happy. And for two weeks he was, you know, really, like every day was sunshine for him. Really, really happy, yeah, so happy — happier than we’d seen him in seven years.”
