“We Didn’t Know It Was Our Last Time…” — Kelly Osbourne Breaks Down Remembering Final Duet with Father Ozzy After His Death at 76
London, July 23 – As the world mourns the loss of rock icon Ozzy Osbourne, one voice among the flood of tributes has struck the deepest chord — that of his daughter, Kelly Osbourne.

In a quiet, tearful livestream from her home just hours after the news broke, Kelly opened up for the first time about the grief that has engulfed her since learning her father had passed. Dressed in black, her voice trembling, she whispered the words so many fans had feared:
“I wasn’t ready. None of us were. I didn’t think the last time we stood on that stage together would be… the last.”
She was referring to their unforgettable duet of “Changes” — a hauntingly tender ballad they first recorded in 2003, reimagining the Black Sabbath classic as a father-daughter farewell. Over the years, it became a symbol of their bond, their resilience, and their shared battles.
“I always thought we’d do it again,” Kelly said, wiping her eyes. “One more time. Maybe with my daughter in the audience. But time… time just ran out.”
Ozzy and Kelly’s performance of “Changes” has long been hailed as one of the most emotional duets in modern music — not just because of its lyrics about loss and transformation, but because of what the two brought to it: their history, their wounds, their love. When they last sang it together on stage during a 2019 benefit event, few in the audience knew that Ozzy was already struggling behind the scenes.
Kelly now admits, “He was in pain that night. But when the music started, he smiled. He always did. He lived for it — and we lived for him.”
The song, which had faded from charts in recent years, is now seeing a dramatic resurgence. Fans across the globe are streaming it in tribute, sharing memories of hearing it live, or of playing it during their own moments of farewell.
One viral comment reads:
“I was nine months pregnant when I saw Ozzy perform. I was determined to make it to that show. Now my daughter wears the tour shirt and tells everyone she was there. If only she could’ve really known what she saw — she missed a legend at his last.”
Another simply said:
“This song hurts more now. Thank you for giving us that moment, Kelly. It belongs to all of us.”
Even music critics have weighed in, calling “Changes” the “unspoken eulogy” Ozzy left behind. A moment frozen in time. A goodbye disguised as melody.
Kelly’s grief, though raw, is filled with love.

“He was the Prince of Darkness to the world,” she said softly, “but to me… he was just Dad. My loud, brilliant, complicated, hilarious, tender-hearted dad. And now, he’s gone.”
She ended the stream the way only a daughter could. By quietly humming the chorus of “Changes”, her voice breaking, her hand on her heart.
And somewhere — in the silence that followed — it was as if Ozzy himself had whispered back.
