Aimee's active participation in her father's final moments differed from her reaction to his farewell concert early this month. The Blast covered the story, reporting that she did not attend Ozzy's performance in Birmingham with the Black Sabbath band.

The estrangement between Kelly and Aimee first made waves in 2015 when the oldest revealed she had a distant relationship with her younger siblings. "I wouldn't say there is an ease between us. But there is an acceptance. Do we socialize? No," Aimee confessed.

The singer explained that her issues with her siblings stemmed from their different lifestyles, noting they were more open to the spotlight than she was.

"I'll be having lunch with my mum, and she'll complain about the paparazzi outside. I tell her that she could have worn a beanie, but of course she never does," Aimee recalled.

Months before Ozzy took the stage for the last time, The Blast shared his wife's reaction to his farewell performance. An insider claimed the July 5 show was as much of a closure for the singer as it was for his longtime partner, who served as his music manager for years.

"Think of all the decades Sharon has been arranging shows for him; it has an ending for her, too; she's very broken up over it," the insider claimed. Despite her feelings, they noted Sharon was focused on ensuring everything went smoothly for her husband.

Ozzy's health was Sharon's biggest concern at the time, as his battle with Parkinson's disease had affected his mobility. "He can't really stand, it's been that way the past year, so it's a miracle that he's still going to perform," the source explained.
