Sources close to the family revealed that the singer had the best exit with his final concert, reported Page Six. Stating that the "post-show high" remained through the remaining days of his life, the source added, "They couldn't have asked for a better ending."Ozzy Osbourne, who struggled with Parkinson's disease and many other chronic conditions for a long time, performed from a black leather chair during the show.
"It energised him -- it filled him with life. He'd really been slowing down, and then after the show, he was really back to being himself. It's a beautiful ending," said a friend of Osbourne
