Very sad, but he has been dwindling the last few years.
Ive seen him in concert more than any other artist. Both with Sabbath and by himself.
In the early 2000s my friend Billy and I went to see him at Darien Lake in WNY. After the concert we were walking to our car, the concert was over for about an hour.
Walking through the parking lot we saw Ozzys bus stopped. There were two guys standing outside the bus talking. It was dark, but we recognized Ozzy as one of the dudes.
Of course we walked right over and said hello. He was an absolute blast. He called us over and asked how they sounded. Apparently they were having sound issues with their monitors. But Ozzy, the legend he was, just pushed through without being able to hear the music properly. We told him it was absolutely perfect. He said "right on".
Billy and I still tell anyone who will listen when we are together. We talked to Ozzy for about 15 minutes.
