Last month the rock legend bid a farewell to fans with a Black Sabbath reunion, telling thousands of heavy metal enthusiasts at Villa Park, Birmingham - a stone's throw from where Black Sabbath was formed in 1968 - that it was "so good to be on this stage" as he performed his last set from a large black throne.
The young singer had a close relationship with his mentor and had given him a unique gift after the show.
Speaking to the Sun, Fike said: "I was texting him, then his son Jack texted me and said, ‘He’s gone.’ I’m like, ‘What?’
Yungblud attended Ozzy’s funeral alongside the Osbourne family- he described the family as “real as f**k”.
The chart-topping singer earnestly expressed that processing his mentor’s death has been quite “overwhelming”.
He said: "I told a friend that I thought Ozzy had another five albums in him. And then he did the show and then he died. It's so overwhelming."
Dominic revealed his dream is to have a family like the Osbournes’, away from the cameras.
He said about the family: “There’s no gimmicks. It’s authentic.”
Yungblud shared a touching tribute to Ozzy on Instagram, sharing candid photos of the two.
He captioned the post: "I didn’t think you would leave so soon the last time we met you were so full of life and your laugh filled up the room. But as it is written with legends, they seem to know the things that we don’t.”
