A tearful Sharon Osbourne recalled the touching moment President Trump called her to offer his condolences after the death of her Black Sabbath frontman husband over the summer.
Osbourne played Trump’s heartfelt voicemail and expressed her admiration for the president and First Lady Melania during Wednesday’s emotional episode of “The Osbournes” podcast, where she reunited with her children, Kelly and Jack, for the first time since Ozzy’s death at age 76 in July.
“Love him or hate him, he didn’t have to call and leave a voicemail,” Jack, 40, said to his grieving mom.
The 72-year-old former TV host, while fighting back tears, said Trump has done nothing but show her family “respect” throughout the years.
“For him to take his time to do that for us … he doesn’t live in a bubble,” Osbourne said.
“He knows what is going on in the streets. He knows what is going on. Again, for President Trump and Melania, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
The Prince of Darkness died on July 22 from cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s Disease.
The heavy metal icon confirmed his Parkinson’s diagnosis in 2020. He had also undergone multiple surgeries in recent years, including going under the knife for a debilitating spinal injury in 2019.
In the voicemail, Trump said: “Hi Sharon, it’s Donald Trump and I just wanted to wish you the best and the family … Ozzy was amazing, he was an amazing guy.”
“I met him a few times and I want to tell you he was unique in every way and talented. So, I just wanted to wish you the best and it’s a tough thing. I know how close you were and whatever I can do. Take care of yourself. Say hello to the family. Thanks, bye.”
Osbourne emphasized to her children that her praise for the president was personal, not political, adding that she isn’t an American citizen and cannot vote in the United States.
“All I know is a man that I know, I worked with for a month – I spent one month with him and his wife, who was always gracious, elegant, just a delight to talk to,” the Brit gushed.
“Listen, I’m not American. I can’t vote, I don’t want to vote. I don’t vote for anyone. I vote for no one. Never have, never will. But the thing is, all I know is he’s treated me with respect, your father with respect. He wanted nothing from us – nothing. Melania, the same. Nothing. And they have been great.”
The former “America’s Got Talent” judge also revealed she received a “lovely letter” from King Charles following her husband’s death, calling the royal “a good, caring man with a good heart.”
The “Crazy Train” rocker was laid to rest in his hometown of Birmingham, England. Those in attendance visited the Black Sabbath bridge and bench on Broad Street, where fans left tributes, flowers and letters.
Two weeks prior to his death, the legendary musician took the stage for one final show.
