Ozzy Osbourne's sister Jean has revealed the plans they made in his final text days before his death

Speaking at her sibling Gillian's house, Jean told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "We had an ex ecutive box in the stadium, and when I saw the sea of people waiting to see our John I just broke down.

"We didn't really get a chance to chat much because it was such a chaotic visit. But in his last text to me he said he would be coming to Birmingham again.

"He said 'I can't wait to come back'. We were hoping to see him this week."

Ozzy text his siblings on the day as he drove down Lodge Road, where the family lived close to Aston Villa's stadium.

She added: "He said he couldn't believe all the crowds were walking down our old street to watch him perform. He was blown away."

The two sisters saw Ozzy when he was back in Birmingham to be given the freedom of the city alongside his Sabbath bandmates.

They have been left stunned by the "outpouring of love" since his death,

Jean said: "We just can't believe he is gone and we won't be getting another phone call or text from him.

"Every week without fail he would get in touch, either by phone or text, to ask how we were all doing and what was going on."

No cause of death has been given, but Ozzy - who was diagnosed with Parkinson's 2019 - had been open with the public about his health.

Jean added: "He was frail but [his death] still came as a shock. He still had plans and things he wanted to do.

"We don't know the details of his death, it's still too early. It's just so sad. I'm just thankful he died in England."

His death comes just two weeks after the rocker reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates for their Back To The Back to the Beginning farewell show in their hometown of Birmingham, England which raised millions of pounds for charity.

His family said in a statement: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love.

"We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis."
