The former host ofThe Talk, 71, added that meeting her was “amazing.”
They bothnoted that their encounterwithRobin Williamswas also special.
“When Sharon was sick with cancer, I felt bad about leaving her just in the house, so I asked Robin Williams if he’d come and see her. Sharon loved him,” the “Paranoid” performer recalled.
Sharon interjected: “Oh I absolutely was so in awe of his talent and his kindness. And he came in and got into bed with me and told jokes for a couple of hours. It wasn’t just like he popped his head around the door [and said] ‘Hi, how are you doing?’ and left. It was a good two hours with me and he was amazing. Made me feel so good. Amazing man.”

Ozzy has spoken about his love ofThe Beatlesover the years.
In a 2020NMEcover story, he recalled that hearing The Beatles sing “She Loves You” made him want to be a musician. “My dad knew I was an avid, f—ing freaked-out Beatles fan,” Ozzy told the outlet. “I loved them. They were the reason why.”
In a 2016 interview withthe same publication, the British rocker revealed that he wanted The Beatles' “A Day in the Life” to be the song that played at his funeral. Though he still seemed to be mulling it over at the time.
“I really need a few more years to think this over, but probably something from ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ or ‘Revolver’. I definitely don’t want my f—ing greatest hits album – I never ever play that thing, I’m f—ing embarrassed about it. And I definitely don’t want a f—ing happy song – I’m dead,” Ozzy said.
