Def Leppard's Joe Elliott and Phil Collen paid tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne and talked to KPTV in Portland, Oregon about watching Ozzy's last show, Back to the Beginning, on July 5th in Birmingham, England.
"It was amazing. The love towards Ozzy you could see, I mean, we were doing our own show, which is why we couldn't be there. Sharon did ask if we could do it, but we sent a message instead that they put on the screens. But we were keeping an eye on it on YouTube, and you could even tell through a laptop how much love there was heading towards that stage when Ozzy sat in that throne. It was kingly — it really was. It was like watching the king of rock getting worshiped by his loving audience. And I felt really happy for him. I'm glad he got to do it," said Elliott.
