Air Ambulance Paramedics Fought for 2 Hours to Save Beloved Ozzy Osbourne

As the world reels from the shock at the death of Ozzy Osbourne, some heartbreaking details are surfacing. Paramedics reportedly fought to save Osbourne for two hours before the legendary rocker’s death, according to The Daily Mail.

The outlet reported that a Thames Valley air ambulance landed in a field near Osbourne’s home in Chalfont St Giles at around 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday.

Despite medics’ best efforts, they were unable to revive the 75-year-old Black Sabbath frontman. “We can confirm that our helicopter was dispatched to provide advanced critical care at an incident near Chalfont St Giles yesterday,” a spokesperson for the organization told The Daily Mail.

Residents who witnessed the helicopter’s arrival feared something serious was unfolding. “We immediately feared it may be for him as he was known to be in fragile health,” one local told the outlet.

The exact cause of death has yet to be confirmed. Osbourne had long battled numerous health issues, including Parkinson’s disease and severe mobility challenges. Most of the problems stemmed from a 2003 accident that was worsened by a 2019 fall.

The Grammy-winning “Prince of Darkness” is survived by his wife of over 40 years, Sharon Osbourne, and their children: Aimee, 41, Kelly, 40, and Jack, 39.

He also fathered three children—Elliot, Jessica, and Louis—with his first wife, Thelma Riley. In recent years, Osbourne largely stepped away from the stage, officially retiring from touring in 2023 due to his declining health.

But earlier this month, he performed one final time with Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler & Bill Ward during a farewell charity show.

In a 2023 interview with Rolling Stone, Osbourne reflected on what would make his life feel complete. “My fans are what it’s all about,” he said. “As long as I do this, I’ll die a happy man.”
