Gone but not forgotten.
The “precious” final gift Ozzy Osbourne gave to his rock protégé, Yungblud, has been revealed in a loving tribute after the Black Sabbath legend’s death.
Yungblud, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, took to social media after Osbourne was laid to rest on Thursday to pay homage to the late heavy metal icon.
“Goodnight Oz,” Yungblud, 27, wrote on his Instagram Stories. “Your light will forever shine. I love you.”
The English singer-songwriter included a close-up picture of the dazzling cross pendant that the “Crazy Train” singer gifted him in 2022 while recording a music video for Yungblud’s hit song, “The Funeral.”
Yungblud returned the favor and gifted Osbourne a custom-made cross necklace of his own during the “Paranoid” rocker’s last-ever show on July 5 at Villa Park.
Last month, the “Parents” punk rocker shared that his necklace from Osbourne “is the most precious thing I own.”
After meeting on the set of the 2022 music video, Osbourne and Yungblud began a close friendship that lasted until the “Miracle Man” singer’s death on July 22 at 76.
The pair became so close that Yungblud allegedly gave a moving reading in front of Osbourne’s family and close friends at Ozzy’s private funeral on Thursday.
The singer was also chosen to present Osbourne with the Icon Award at the Rolling Stone UK Awards in 2023.
Osbourne passed away last week following a lengthy battle with Parkinson’s disease and other health issues.
“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,” Osbourne’s family said in a statement to The Post.
But before Osbourne was laid to rest on Thursday, a funeral procession was organized through his hometown of Birmingham, England.
Thousands of his fans gathered in the streets to mourn the late rocker, and they were joined by Osbourne’s heartbroken widow, Sharon, 72, and their grieving kids, Aimee, 41, Kelly, 40, and Jack, 39.
Louis, who is Osbourne’s son from his first marriage to Thelma Riley, was also in attendance at the cortège, and each member of the famous family included subtle references to Osbourne.
While Sharon wore Ozzy’s wedding ring on a chain around her neck, Jack honored his late dad with a small silver cross pin that he wore at the end of his tie.
Kelly wore a pair of round wire-rimmed sunglasses, and Aimee had a bat brooch on her black blazer.
One day after Osbourne’s funeral procession in Birmingham, his family held a private funeral next to the lake of his Buckinghamshire home.
Besides Osbourne’s former Black Sabbath bandmates, Terence “Geezer” Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward, other A-listers like Marilyn Manson, Metallica’s James Hetfield, and reportedly Elton John were in attendance.
“Today we laid to rest a beloved friend,” Manson, 56, wrote on Instagram after the funeral. “I am eternally grateful that you let me into your life, Ozzy. Your inspiration and love will always be with me.”
“Thank you, Sharon and family, for a reverent, beautiful ceremony,” Manson added. “Your legacy lives on.”
“Toasts were raised, memories were shared – it was a very fitting goodbye,” a source told The Sun. “There was a stage where people, including Yungblud, who grew very close to Ozzy in recent years, were set to pay tribute to him.”
“The day was incredibly emotional,” the source added. “Pictures of Ozzy were dotted throughout the house, and a photograph of him was given to everyone who attended to take home with them.”
