Ozzy Osbourne leaves lasting impression on longtime pal after death

Ozzy Osbourne’s longtime friend Andrew Watt recently reacted to the rock icon’s tragic death.

Watt, 34, who collaborated with the Paranoid singer in 2019 on the album Ordinary Man, paid tribute to the departed legend.

Taking to Instagram, the Grammy-winning American record producer shared a past video of the Prince of Darkness alongside a heartfelt caption.

He wrote, “Still processing saying goodbye to @ozzyosbourne. …. Someone said “Grief is the price of Love”. I say that to myself everyday but at the end of the day I just miss my friend so much. There is a new hole in my heart, something I will learn to live with…The music is obvious…how lucky I was to share in a little of Ozzy’s magic, but the friendship was the greatest gift of all…I will miss laughing with you forever Boss… Do you want a kick in the balls?”

This comes after the Crazy Train hitmaker passed away on Tuesday, July 22, at the age of 76.

Earlier in June, Watt reflected on his connection with Osbourne.

Speaking to Guitar World, he said, “Ozzy and I have a connection that’s unlike anything else I’ve never experienced. We made some music together that we really love, and we’ll continue making music together forever. More importantly than that, we talk every day and we’re really close friends.”

For the unversed, the Burning Man singer helped Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne produce a rock album.
