As tributes to Ozzy Osbourne continue to pour in, Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider has shared his deeply personal reaction to witnessing the metal icon’s final performance. In an emotional post on X (formerly Twitter), Snider captured the complex feelings many fans and fellow musicians are struggling with.

“It Was Great… But Heartbreaking”

Snider reflected on the performance with sincerity and reverence:

“Ozzy Osbourne was a little tough to watch,” he wrote. “It was great but Heartbreaking on so many levels. Mama I’m Coming Home was tough to get through. For us (the audience) AND Ozzy.”

The performance in question—part of Osbourne’s farewell concert event—was widely regarded as a powerful yet emotionally charged moment. For Snider and countless others, it served as a reminder of both Ozzy’s enduring spirit and the inevitable toll of time.

Snider Clarifies: “Gravity Always Wins”

Following his initial post, Snider returned to X to clarify his remarks, emphasizing the love and admiration behind his words.

“Please don’t read anything negative into what I said,” he wrote. “I was just sharing my own emotions with you. It should never have to end if we don’t want it to…but sadly gravity always wins.”

His message resonated with fans, many of whom acknowledged the difficulty of seeing their heroes grow old, especially while still giving their all on stage.
