Sharon Osbourne Recalls Ozzy Having Robin Williams Visit Her and Tell ‘Jokes’ While She Had Cancer: ‘Amazing Man’

While Sharon Osbourne was battling cancer, her spirits were lifted by an unexpected visitor: the late Robin Williams.

During the latest episode The Osbournes podcast, Sharon and husband Ozzy recalled how Robin Williams cheered her up for a few hours one day after her 2002 cancer diagnosis.

“When Sharon was sick with cancer, I felt bad about leaving her alone in the house, so I asked Robin Williams if he would come to see her,” the Black Sabbath rocker, 75, said. “Sharon loved him.”

Sharon, 71, looked back on the meeting with immense respect. “I was absolutely blown away by his talent and his kindness,” she said.

“He came in and got into bed with me and told jokes for a few hours. It wasn’t like he was sticking his head out the door [and said] ‘Hi how are you?’ and left. I had a good two hours with me, and he was amazing,” she said of Williams, who died by suicide in 2014 at the age of 63.

“I feel so good,” Sharon added. “An amazing man.”

In 2002, Sharon was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2002 and is now in remission. A decade later, she underwent a double mastectomy after a genome test revealed she had a “whole shopping list” of health problems, including a “breast cancer gene,” she revealed on Conversation in that time.

Elsewhere in this week’s episode The Osbournes, Ozzy opened up about another of his most memorable celebrity encounters. “I’m a big Beatle fan and when I first met Paul McCartney it was like meeting Jesus Christ,” he said.

“He was a very nice man, and when I won the Grammy, my producer joined me to congratulate me,” Ozzy added. “That was very, very special.”

Ozzy Osbourne to hold 2 hometown concerts as ‘farewell’ to fans, says Sharon: ‘He won’t be touring again’

During Sharon’s Cut the Crap tour stop in London on Sunday, she revealed that the “Crazy Train” singer is planning two final concerts in his hometown of Birmingham, England as a farewell to fans following his recent health issues.

“He’s not going on tour anymore, but we’re planning to do two more shows to say goodbye because he feels like, ‘I’ve never said goodbye to my fans and I want to say goodbye the right way,'” she said at the event.

She specified that the shows will be held in the city’s Aston Villa neighborhood “where Ozzy is from,” according to the outlet. “His voice is still absolutely perfect,” Sharon added, noting that he continued to take “singing lessons” during his medical condition that kept him off the stage.

At this time, Ozzy has not confirmed or announced any upcoming performances.
